venue has made the following deci-
lsions: When o conveyance of reality
Is made upon an actual valuable con-
.sideration which is manifestly in
adequate, the deed should be stamped
according to the amount of valuable
consideration, and o succession tax,
unless the successor be the wife of
the predecessor, should be assessed
upon the value of'the land conveyed,
less such consideration.
There is no stamp upon o promis-
sorry note, until it is issued. A stamp
is to be cancelled when it is attached
or used; land although q stamp may
be affixed when note is signed, it
cannot be said to be used until the
note is issued. A check, draft, or
order for the payment of sum OF
money drawn otherwise than at sight
CT CT demand is Liable TO stamp tax,
ut the rate of five cents for each
800, or fractional part thereof. A
receipt for bank check, is n receipt
for money upon the terms of the in
ternal revenue act; and if for q sum
exceeding $40, it requires two cent
stamp. 1t is not relieved by the
stamp upon the check.

FLORIDA LONG CoTToN. have
often been asked, says the East Flo
rididn Banner, whether or not we
thought cotton would advance during
the present season? From oil the in
formation we can gather from the
lights before us, we can really see
very little hope of any material ad-
vance upon gold basis.
We would here remark, that our
planters are slow to realize the fact
that the Egyptian cotton has dis
placed, to great extent ut least, the
lower grades of our Florida long cot
ton. More attention must be paid
its cultivation and preparation for
market, if we hope to place and keep
it beyond the competition of the
Egyptian and other cotton of the
world.

NAMES IN THE New TERRITORY.
The New York Tribune says:

NAMEo In IhE NEW IERRlTOl1.-
The New York Tribune says:
"We get, from the best authority,
some facts about the names of rivers,
&C., in our new North Western Ter
ritory, which are worthy of special
notice. For instance, the peninsula
is not Alaska but A-li-as-ka. The
town of Sit-ka is on Ba ron-off
Island. The Indians near the place
are the Ka-losh tribe. The long
strip of rocks running almost to ST.
IBERIA are the A-leu-tian Islands, the
largest of which rejoices in the name
of On-na-lash-ka. There is an active
volcano called She-shal-din-sky, and
one that has gone out, by the name
of I-sa-not-ky. The principal river
of the country is the You-kon (mean-
ing great or superior stream, and the
Indians on its borders are the You
kon-ik-a-tan-a, or men of the You
kon. Among the streams running
into this one we note the Ia na-nah,
(called by the English Gems des
Butes,) the Ko-you-kuh, and the Ia
keit-sky. The mouths of the YOU
kon are Koo- -sil-vak, and Kwich- pax
and there is a point on the Youkon
of neutral ground, where the Indians
come to trade, which rejoices in the
spelling of Nuk-lu-kan-yet. That
will do for the present.

MIR. STEWARDS BENEFAcTIoN.- 1t
is now stated, in reference to Mr.. A.
L. Stewards rumored philanthropic
investment in New York, that he will
soon erect block of dwellings ND
town, to cost 81, 100000 and to be
forever the home of the working
women of New York. It is not to be
an aims house, but q home, where
women may find food and shelter
at prices within their reach, and
whatever revenue it may yield is to
be employed in the erection of other
like institutions. Mr.. Stewart has
also resolved to expend $5, 900, 900 in
the erection of tenement houses on
an improved plan, and to devise
them to board of trustees, to be
composed of one person from every
religious denomination of the CITY.
and to be 30 rented as to WELD n
revenue tnat shall be applied to the
construction of other model tenement
houses in New York perpetually.

S. WHlsKhx SnrsuRn. The CEeater
correspondent of the Yorksilie En-
Q,drersays: p', 81,
Our, bharp.seented officers of I'M
ternal revenue, discovered o maxe's
nest full of frauds, in o whiskey
wagon from Davie County, N, O.,
last week. The owner of the wagon,
unconscious Of his terrible short
comings, was quietly disposing of his
whiskey, when "the Assyrien came
down like q wolf on the fold," and
seized whiskey, brandy, wagon,
horses, papers and all. The Davie
County man. himself, barely escap-
ing, made his way to North Carolina,
and returned yesterday with his
principal, bringing with him O letter
from the Inspector of whiskey, in
Davie County, saying that. the whis-
key was all right, and the irregulari-
ties in the fraud permits, &c, were
the fault of the officers of Tho revenue
in North Carolina. Meantime, the
horses are eating their heads off in q
livery stable, the Davie County man
mourning as those without hope, the
whiskey in the hands of the Philis-
tines, and the thirsty waiting at the
door, all wishing sugar in thern." A
sweet scented system is the internal
revenue.

GEN. GRANT AGAINST NEGRO SUF-
FRAGE.-"Mack" writes under date
of November Is, from Washington,
to the Cincinnati Commercial, Re-
publican paper, as follows:
Among the witnesses summoned
before the Impeachment Committee
was Colonel Hillyer, formerly of
General Grants staff, now Federal
office-holder in New York. What he
testified to, or was supposed to know
detrimental to A. j., I cannot say;
but he yesterday met MIR. Eldridge,
of Wisconsin, Ia member of the com
mittee, on Pennsylvania avenue, and
addressing him, said he supposed it
wouldn't be necessary for him to re-
wise the report of his testimony.
"No," Eldridge said, "that would be
all right" "Well," said Hillyer,
"there's one thing you might have
got OUT OF me, ii you had put the
question to me, and you came mighty
near doing it when you were examin-
ing me about Grant" "What's
that" said Eldridge. "Why," re-
