THE C0TToN CRor FOR 1.-The Com
nercial and Financial Chronicle at New
York says:
ave are now able to give our figures
showing the total crop and movement of
cotton in the United States for the year
ending September l, 1867. The receipts,
as will be seen, very nearly approximate
those of last year, the total reaching
2Ol9,27l bales, against 2,l93,9S7 bales for
the previous twelve months, indicating a
decrease in the receipts this year Of only
l74,7l6 bales. 1t would be impossible to
state with accuracy what proportion OF
this aggregate was the product of the last
year, estimates differing so widely with re-
gard to the amount Of the old crop not
brought forward at the close of 1866.
We think, however, we may safely take
this old surplus at 100000 bales, and shall
then have left about 100000 bales as the
total product Of the past season. The new
year begins with an unusually small stock
in the interior, and we must therefore
look almost entirely to the new crop fol
our receipts during the coming twelve
monthS.'

Meeting of Constitutional Men.
RALEIGH, N. c., September 23.-The
PROGRESS and Sentinel, the conservative
journals here, will tomorrow contain the
following call for primary meeting of
constitutional Union men tomorrow, sign
ed by over 200 influential citizens:
" Conservative Constitutional Union Men OF
Wake county:
"The undersigned, citizens Of Wake
county, friends of the American Union
and supporters of the Constitution of the
United States, being convinced that the
incorporation of the Brownlow- Holden
Radical programme into the constitution
of the State would most surely embarrass,
if not annihilate, all en- Enterprise and all
hope of recuperation, disc ourage all immi-
grafton and investment of capital, and
would diminish and destroy the sources of
employment of our laboring population, do
most earnestly implore all conservative
citizens in every county in the State to
hold meetings for the adoption of such
plan as they may deem wisest and
best for uniting and consolidating
conservative influence in the State to
effectually prevent the success of the ultra
Republican or Radical rule in our State
organization. The Congress of the United
States has cut us off from all participation
at present in national politics, and nothing
is left us but the care of our State institu-
tions. This movement has nothing to DO
with national politics or with hindering or
attempting to obstruct the operation OF
any law of Congress. 1t has simple re-
ference only to preventing the incorpora-
ton of those Radical principles and mea-
sures into our own State organization
which would place the control and govern
ment of the State in the hands of
the ignorant, vicious, and most un-
principled among US, and which would
certainly result in the destruction of the
enterprise and vitality Of the State. All
aid or encouragement, therefore, which
this movement could give to the friends
of constitutional liberty and free govern
ment elsewhere would simply be inciden-
tai. We therefore urge all the conserva.
tive constitutional Union men of the
county of Wake holding these views
to unite with US in holding meeting al
the courthouse in this city on Friday the
27th September, to effect the above
named objects. We urge our fellow-cltl
zens of the several registration precinct:
of the county to unite with US and hole
meetings in their several precincts"

raj in chief has any control or authority
over the elections or registration but they
are also understood to agree in the propri-

Decisions OF the Revenue Bureau.
The Internal Revenue Bureau has made

The Internal Revenue Bureau has made
the following decisions
When the contract Of insurance is en-
tered in register instead Of issuing a
policy, whether it is new insurance or q
reinsurance or q renewal of policy, each
entry requires stamp, at the usual rate,
based on the premium. 1t would not be
legal or sufficient to estimate the tax on
the sum total of the premium entered at
one date as if they were single policy.
Bonds issued by cities or towns to aid in
the construction Of railroads and to pur-
chase stock therein are not considered as
issued by municipal officers in the exer-
else only Of functions strictly belonging to
them in their ordinary governmental and
municipal capacity. They are held liable,
therefore, to stamp tax at the same rate
as promissory notes, being five cents for
every one hundred dollars or fractional
part thereof. The coupons are part of
the bond, and do not require additional
stamps.
Receipts taken by executors and adj
ministrators should be stamped as in other
cases. Inventories Of the property of de-
ceased persons returned for record, or
otherwise, should be stamped as appraise-
ments of value at the same rate as agree
ments. The stamps placed upon the pas
sage tickets Of passengers leaving for
foreign ports should be based upon the
currency value of the tickets, and not
upon the gold value. When policy of
insurance has been issued, properly
stamped, not incorrectly written, and is
afterwards surrendered, and others substi-
tutcd solely to cure the defect in the first,
the new policy requires no stamps. In
such case the second policy should con-
tain recital Of the facts and show the
reasons for its execution. Steamboat in
spectors' certificates are exempt from
stamp tax under the amendment to Sec
tion l54, which exempts all official papers
issued by officers of the United States CO.
vernment. The masters and owners oaths
are exempt under the act of March 2
1867, which relieves all aftidavits from
stamp tax. The masters marine hosplta
return is also exempt. The two forms OF
bonds given by masters of steamboats, re.
quire u twenty five cent stamp each, a:
bonds not otherwise charged in the staml
schedule. When a manufacturer make,
both exempted and taxable articles, the
taxable articles only are to be taken into
the account in determining his liability to
taxation.
