rately informed in all these matters,
gives the following as the requirements
of the new stamp law:

a large or small amount. All sight
checks drawn on any bank, banker or
trust compay, whatever the amount,
will require two cent stamp as here.

orders dra wn on any private indiyid-
ual, or company, or corporation, not
in the banking business, will also re.
quire two cent stamp, if the amount
exceed ten dollars. AL notes Of hand
and due bills of every description, for
u less sum than one hundred dollars
will require no stamp. All promis-
sorry notes amounting to 500 and
over are to be stamped as heretofore.
Aud all mortgages transferred, sold or

CONSISTENT RADIcALs.-A Conven.
ton Of negroes was recently held at
Poughkcepsie, New York. Among
the resolutions was one, in which the
sable brethren declare that owe will
give to negroes voting the Democratic
ticket no protection or shelter in our
houses and places Of business but
will consider them an enemy of our
race forever" This is what negroes
call "impariial suffrage" This is the
way in which the negroes Of New
York exhibit their capacity for self
government. lfa negro will vote the
Radical ticket without thought or re-
Election. he is entitled TO protection.
shelter and business consideration. If,
however, he votes the Democratic
ticket, all houses and places of bust

Radical advice. Are race of people
