Revenue Decision.

WASHINGTON, Sept. II.
The Commissioner of Internal Revenue has
rendered the following decision:
A printer is liable to the special tax as a
manufacturer, if the articles he prints ex-
coed in value when printed 81 900 per
annum. ....1
In determining the liabilities of printers
to the special tax as manufacturers, the
value of the articles of merchandise produc-
ed by them, should alone be taken in con-
sideration-the amounts received for insert
ing advertisements in newspapers are not
therefore to be included. 49, s..<

agcr Blair to state our conviction that the
Marlborough House is second to no Hotel

cleanliness, attendance, and last, though not
least, the excellence Of Its table.-Nswbera

We learn. that Mr. Blair has been awarded
the contract for keeping the hotel at the

City. The travelling public may, therefore
expect the, best accommodations on theil

THE LATEST TRIcK.-A friend writes us
from Wilkesboro', that sharpers are fleeing
the innocent housewives of that section IN
the following manner.
They propose to exchange new feathers
for old ones, but not having their new feath-
ers along in the wagons, they make deposit
of 40 cents per pound for the old feathers in
greenbacks, the good wife empties half
her beds, they drive off with the load and
never return. Of course the money which
they leave is counterfeit.
We learn that good many families trust
ing to the representation of the strangers,
their show Of honesty in depositing money,
and led the. more easily astray by the desire
to get new feathers for old ones by exchange,
have been. deprived of their BEDS and will
have to sleep harder this winter than ever
before. Keep sharp lookout for these swind-
lers, and when you catch them, turn them
over to officer for trial. g. .-

Organizations.

The registration of voters is we'll nigh
completed, and we may expect the election
Of members to the Convention to be ordered
soon. The late Republican Convention
adopted resolutions providing for the thor
ough organization of the Republican party.
Without organization the party may be di-
vided in the various Counties, and the re-
suit may be the election of copperheads,
rebels and doubtful Republicans, and the
consequent defeat of the reconstruction acts
The Republicans of the State should not
permit this to be DONE They must unite
hold Conventions, make their nominations,
and then elect their nominees at all hazards
The State Executive Commute will meet
on the 5th of next month. The Chairman
of the Committee has no power to anticipate
the action OF the Committee by appointing
the County Committees On organization.-
We call upon the Republicans in all the
Counties to inform us at once of persons suit
able to act as Committees on organization.
The State Committee will need such infor-
nation. Friends will please communicate
with members of the State Committee be-
fore they leave home for Raleigh, and if
they can not do so in time, let them write to
us at once suggesting the names of suitable
persons of both races to act ON the County
Committees.
Organization is the oxygen of the body
polite. 1t imparts life, energy, activity, and
direction to the whole party. 1t must be
maintained. 1t aoiU be maintained. With
out it, the success of Republican principles
is doubtful, if not impossible. The ambi-
tions, the claims for office, and the prefer
ences of the few, must yield to the good of
the many.
Let Conventions be held in every County.
Let candidates be duly nominated, and then
let every true Republican support the nona-

that Mr.. James H Harris and Rev. J. W.

and homeless. The collection of debts I'M
der such circumstances was likely to pro-
duce much distress and oppression, and great
bitterness OF feeling among our people,
General Orders No. 10, were issued to prevent
such state of affairs. In this exercise of
authority Gen. Sickles made himself a public
benefactOr ..f
He also knew that there were parties in our
country who were greatly excited and embit-
tered against each other, and as a precau-
ton in preserving the public peace he pre-
vented the carrying of deadly soeopons. We
all know that this is wise ordinance, and
the state of the country requires it. Gen.
Sickles also found many of the poor people
of his district suffering for bread. The dis
asters of the war and the failure of crops
had nearly produced starvation in many
sections The cry of almost famished wild
ows and orphans was heard throughout the
land, calling forth the generous charities of
the government and the Northern people,
Under such circumstances he issued his or
der to prohibit the distillation of grain, so
that it might be used for bread In this re-
spect he acted wisely and humanely, and he
deserves the thanks of every good and pat
riotic citizen. :=ass -
Upon careful examination of most of the
General Orders issued from Military Head
quarters, it will be found that they have a
wise purpose, and are directed to some good
end, and all of our people should yield
them prompt and cheerful obedience.
MIR. Chairman, i know that it is natural
that we should be somewhat restless and dis
contented under military rule; but we must
remember that we have been in state of re-
bellion, and rebellion is certainly deserving
OF some punishment. We have not as vet
suffered any of the usual penalties of treason
since the suppression of armed hostilities

ment IL can be safely attained. After furth-
er illusions to the Republican party and its
great objects, MIR. P. closed amidst great ap-
plause.
The chairman of the committee on resolu
tions, l. E. West, Esq, then reported SER
les of resolutions expressive of the views of
the meeting. After few and appropriate
and earnest remarks by Mr. West, the reso-
lions were unanimously adopted.
Res0tced, That we do accept and approve
OF the principles of the Republican party in
North-Carolina as enunciated by the Conven-
tion OF March 9th, 1857, and by the Conven-
ton OF Sept. 4th, 1857, and we do pledge
ourselves to maintain and carry out those
principles to the end that the Union may be
made one and inseparable upon a basis of
justice and equality to all men without re-
gard to race or color.
ResotUed, That we regard the Republican
party as the only sound political organiza-
ton in the country, and that we will faith
FULLY adhere to the objects and purposes it
has 50 distinctly announced. embracing the
entire Congressional plan, as the only certain
measure by hich the unreconstructed States
OF the South can be restored to their true
and legitimate relations with the general

ResoIced, That we do not regard any &C
ton, proceeding, or vote, of the Convention
OF the 4th inst, as intended to pledge. the
Republican party of the State to any plan of
confls,catlon; that it is neither expedient nor
useful In view of speedy, safe, just and per-

Union to agitate this subject; and as Re-
P ub ,lla we would most earnestly depre-
cate any measure OF confscation or further

or Black Mans Party as dangerous, lespel
