The CANCELLATION or SrAxPs-Commis-
sioner Rollins calls the attention OF the pub
lie to the means whereby stamps can be les
gally cancelled. He quotesthe provision Of
the law, that the person using the stamps
must write or print thereon in ink, his initials,
and the date of the year, month and day, ups
on which the same is attached or used. Each
stamp must also be separately cancelled.
The only exception to this mode Of cancel
lation that can be allowed, is in the case Of
stamps printed on check etc., in such
a manner that in filing up the instrument,
the stamps will have to be written across.
Adhesive stamps being therefore used, it
would seem that the cancellation must be
upon the stamps, by initials and date, in the
manner indicated. To put cross upon
check stamp or flourish of the pen, which
is sometimes adopted, will not be sufficient
so also printed cancellation, it isto be as.
sumed, must be wholly upon the stamp, and
not as is frequently the case, partially upon
one corner the body of the printing being
upon the surface Of the check. As stamping
is necessary to the valuation of many papers,
so is proper cancellation quite as necessary.
The check does not seem to be proper au-
thority to a bank to pay the money, nniess
the cancellation is strictly correct This is
matter of some Importance, and should be
looked to as well by those who issue checks
as those who pay them.

The day was glorious, that boat ride on the

and Capt. Williams are adopts in official
courtesy and management, and know how TO
minister to the pleasure ofpassengers and ex.

seniors and juniors were in the best and jol-
hest of humors; that game of croquet was
very fascinating, and the whole affair was ex-
cessiyely pleasant. That return trip up
through "The Slough was panorama of
beauty; and the pronounced verdict of every
body was that the pic mic was one OF the
pleasantest of this or any other season.

YEsTERDAY afternoon, on Main street, be-
tween Sixth ank Seventh, occurred runs-
way, which came very near causing an injury
to two of our citizens-Alex. Barclay and
Robert Warnock. Both OF these gentlemen
were in buggy, to which was attached the
horse of Mr.. Barclay. Something about the
harness of the animal became detached, caus.
ing him to take fright and suddenly "swing-
ing round circle" he succeeded in upset-
ting the vehicle, throwing Mr.. Wsrnock very
violently to one side of the street, and depos
iting Mr.. Barclay in the gutterupon the other
side; the horse, at this, freed himself, and
dashed down Main. We are very glad, in
deed, that the gentlemen referred to escaped
as easily as they did. Mr.. Warnock received
slight bruise of the head, while our friend
Barclay picked himself out of very nasty
accumulation of filth in the gutter. The
buggy was turned completely over, and some
what damaged by its rough usage.

PASSING the corner of johnson and Fourth
streets yesterday afternoon, our attention was
called to group of urchns, not one of which
was over twelve years Of age, who were en-
toying a game of cards for q trivial stake.
They were very much excited, and used lam
guage that would look well in print only to
that Main street individual who discontinued
the GATE CRY on account Of its favoring the
religious societies OF, the city. We love to
see children enjoying themselves, but really
we felt shocked to see the lads engaged in
the above mentioned pastime, on a street
corner, with large group of other children
of both sexes around them, partaking Of their
evil manners and language.

THURSDAY night, about ten o'clock, the
city of Des MONIES was startled by an alarm
Of ERE. The FIRE started in the Slavery House,
in room used fur storing lumber, but was
fortunately discovered in good time, thereby
preventing its spreadsand the destruction of q
very fine building. 1t is wonder to us why
the people Of that place do not provide them-
selves with fire. apparatus. The city, it is
true, boasts of Hook and Ladder company,
lately organized, but an active and well
equipped engine company would do more
service than half dozen hook and ladder
companies, at least such has been the ex-
perience down this way.

General Candy.

To the Editor of the Neu York Tribune:
Sir,-It is just and generous in you to
"suspend judgment" in regard to there-
cent appointment of General Candy. I
served with him, under the most intimate Of
cial and personal relations, in this city, in the
War Department, and in the military di-
vision of west Mississippi, and, while tho
people do not know it, know that, in his
own quiet, unpretending way he Gas
sumed" many responsibilities" which
satisfied me of his answering and un-
compromising loyalty in the fuA applica-
tion of the word, and enable me to predict
that Mr.. Johnson will find himself beauti-
fully mistaken when he thinks that Gene
raj Candy will be a tool to his "policy
any moro than General Sickles.
1t was my fate during the war to serve
under and with many regular officers of
note, but | don't know Of any who so early
and heartily endorsed tho emancipation
views of Mr.. Lincoln as General Candy;
and although 1 have no doubt that he
would intensely dislike to be called "a
political general" yet am sure that he is
at heart true Republican, and that his
acts will very soon show him to be such.
Yours truly, G. T. CHRISTENSEN,
late Assistant Adjutant-G General United
States Volunteers, Brevet Brigadier-
General.

ANOTHER "ISSocENT MAN IN JAIL
A white man named John Lord, who, on
the 31st Of July, 1866, appeared before the
Mayor on the charge of being drunk, dis
orderly, and resisting and cursing the po-
lice, and was fined ten dollars and $3.50
security required for his good behavior
on September 18th of the same year he
appeared for the same offence, and $3.50
security was again required; on the 25th
of the same month he was up to answer
the charge of breaking into the house OF
Lafayette Brooks, and another $3.50 secu-
rity required. Not satisfied with these
exhibitions of himself at the Mayors
court, he again came up in January last
to answer for being drunk and disorderly
and using profane language in the street.
For this offence $50 security was again
required, failing to give which he was
sent to the chain-gang for twenty days.
A few days since he again appeared,
charged with the same offence, and failing
to give the requisite security, was sent to
iail. While in Jail his friends, represented
by Mary Brooks, wrote to Lieutenant
Hambrick, requesting his discharge, stating
that he was an innocent man and hadn'l
orter be in jail" The Lieutenant referred
the letter to the Mayor, who yesterday
had John brought before him, and tolc
him about the letter, read the variou:
offences for which he had gotten into the
clutches of the law, and then ordered hin
| back to Jail.

PAINFUL ACCIDENTAL sprightly lad
named Patrick Hayes, residing on Canal
near Foushee street with his uncle, was
painfully, and it is feared seriously,
hurt yesterday morning. AS has been
too much the custom with boys of
late, Patrick was exercising on that
portion of the trestle-work of the Connec-
ton railroad which spans the deep ravine
near the penitentiary building. By some
mishap, he missed his footing, and fell to
the ground beneath, breaking one arm,
cutting his head severely, and sustaining
serious internal injuries. DR.. R. A. Rust
promptly obeyed summons, and rendered
all necessary surgical aid.
This should serve as warning to all
boys who are in the habit of running over
the trestle-work, and thus placing life and
limb in jeopardy. There seems to be a
peculiar fascination about trestles and
railroads for youth. Many have lost their
lives, many have been MANNED for life, and
we fear similar fates are in reserve for
many more if they persist in the danger
Gus practice. Parental restraint should
be enforced wherever practicable in these
matters.

PAINFUL AcclDEST.-An accident of a
painful character occurred at the country
seat of Mr.. L. Woods (of the well
known firm Of Woods, Fay & Reed),
on the Grove road, yesterday morn
ing. Mr.. Woods and several neighbors
having sustained the loss Of valuable
chickens recently from. the depredations
Of thieves, arranged a plan to catch the
rogues. For this purpose he placed a
spring gun in his "hennery" during Sun
day night, with awire or string so attached
to the trigger that upon the door being
opened the gun would explode. Yester-
day morning at an early hour Mr.. Woods's
faithful servant girl Maggie Horan, a ma
tive of Ireland, entirely ignorant of the ar
rangement, went to the "hennery," which
she had rarely ever done previously, to
turn the chickens out. Upon opening the
door the gun exploded, and with fearful
effect upon the unfortunate girl. The
load shattered her left arm, and o portion
striking the hip, passed downward and en-
tered the body. DR.. Ha1all being sent
for, repaired at once to the aid Of the suf.
ferer. Her injuries, though very painful
we are pleased to hear are not necessarily
fatal.
