On the question as to whether tobacco and cigars
which have been forfeited to the United States and
sold by the United States marshal on final process,
subject to tax not, the Commissioner Of Inter
nal Revenue writes 10 the United States Attorney at
Boston,
That IN his opinion, in the absence Of any provision
Of law requiring tobacco, snun cigars forfeited
to the United states ana sold by order OF the
or under process OF dlstran 10 be sold subject TO
tax all such goods must be sold free OF tax; that is
snuff or cigars which are liable TO be stamped but
which at the time Of sale have no such stamps
am xed then becomes the duty OF the government,
and not Of the purchaser Of the goods, 10 aix the
stamps. IL the goods are not liable 70 stamps at
the time OF SALE but may become liable IN some fu-
ture time as in the case OF plug tobacco which will
have be stamped and after July before being
sold offered for SALE then the goods are sold sub
ject to that contingency, and the purchaser 'hav
ing the goods on hand on and after that date
would be required to aifx stamps before selling or
onerlng the goods for SALE All smoking tobacco
fine cut chewing and SNUFF and all cigars In the
hands OF dealers or other persons must now be
stamped before they can be delivered 10 purchaser
AS the law has provided no means for furnishing
United States marshals with stamps TO be aixed to
tobacco, &c which he sells by order OF the court,
the marshal must place upon the goods he sells his
brand, and give the purchaser certificate setting
forth the circumstances OF the sae with the descrp
ton OF the kind and quality OF goods and such other
facts as VIII enable the purchaser To identity the goods
II they should after be called IN question for
want OF proper stamps or any other nforlnallty In
packages, labels, caution notices, &C.

Post.l
The probability that the Alabama claims question

tons Is still freely discussed In political circles. The
comments OF the party press throughout the coun-
try not as favorable TO the plan some republic
can politicians here expected; but as their course
was not decided upon withoui due deberation, and
the sense OF the magnitude and important bearings
which the agitation OF the subject party measure
will have upon our foreign poncy, there Will be no
| hesitation or faltering IN their attempt to make
