The Fifteenth Amendment.

Whatever may have been our views
of the Fifteenth Amendment month
since matters not now, for the measure
has cSnstitutionally become a part of
the great charter of our liberties. Our
duties, as law abiding citizens, will be
to support it until such time as it shall
be repealed, which is not likely to be
the case soon. We are satisfied that
such will be the action of every mem
ber of the Republican party, and even
a large part of the Democrats will
unite with US in the obeyance of the
law. A few ill-conditioned fellows,
however, will be loud with their usual
denunciatory bombast, and perhaps
may be SO unpolitic as to declare their
intention to commit acts of violence, as
always has been the case with this mi
nority when their party was out oi
power; yet they will finally be com
PEELED to eat their own words.
We have long perceived that the
Amendment would finally become q
law, and now we are glad tho thing ha:
come to pass, thus removing another Ell,
ement of discord from the sky of poll
tics, and allowing our common coun'
try to quiet down and rest in more
secure peace than has been the case
since the first slavery agitation.

IMPORTANT TO BUSINESS MEN
The following is the text of a circular
issued by the Revenue Commissioner,
Feb. 10th. prescribing the manner of
cancelling stamps used upon instru-
ments of writing. and furnished for
publication here by the Assessor of the
District of Oregon:
Section 157, of the act of June 80,
is as follows: "And be it further en-
acted, that the Commissioner Of Inter-
nal Revenue be, and he is hereby, au
thorizcd to prescribe such method for
the cancellation of stamps, as substit-
ute for or in addition to the method
now prescribed by law, as he may deem
expedient and efrectual. And he is
further authorized, in his discretion, to
make the application of such methods
imperative upon the manufacturers of
proprietary articles, or ARTICLES included
in schedule Cesnd upon stamps of a
nominal valae exceeding twenty FIVE
| cents.
Owing to the extensive frauds com.
mitted upon the revenues by the wash.
ing, restoration and reuse of such in
ternaisreyenue adhesive stamps as have
been used and cancelled by the machine
known as the ribbon stamp, it is here
by ordered and prescribed, that, on and
after May lst, 1870, all adhesive stamps
used upon the instruments, documents,
writings aud papers, mentioned and
described in schedule b. of the Intern.

date (year, month and day), upon
which the same is attached or used, or
by cutting and can.clling the same
with the machine called Wheeler's
Patent Cancellor. or such other ma.
chine or instrument as may hereafter be
designated and prescribed by said Com
missioner; and that no other method
of cancelling such stamps, employed on
or after that date, shall be recognized
as legal or sufficient, until otherwise
prescribed aud ordered" F"

ity. Five years ago an active war
ceased, and now we are about to return
to specie payments. In fact, some Of
the principal cities have already com
menced paying out silver change. The
financial qunstion is solved by time, and
it only remains for the national debt to
be paid when the work zof the Union
Republican party shall have been &C.
complished, Before then the party
must hold together and remain in pow.
er. The indications nov are that this
will be an easy matter, for the last prop
but one has been knocked from under
the platform of our opponents. They
cannot harp longer on the kind of mon.
ey that shall be used in the redemption
of our bonds, for paper dollar is worth
as much as one of gold. The only
thing now remaining to them is the
dangerous doctrine of Reputation
which is advocated by a part of the
Democrats alone.
With the preseut state of our finances
it will not be difficult matter to fund
our debt in securities, bearing small
rate of interest. When this shall be
done, we can eee our way out of our
troubles and shall rest content. and
this will certainly come to pass if the
Republican party shall observe its usual
vigilance and retain officers of its own
choosing at the head Of governmental
affairs.
