THE BANK STAMP TAX.
The Notes, Checks, &c., on which a Tw0-Cent stamp is
 Required.

WASHINGTON, March 11.-The Internal Revenue office has ruled :
 First-That notes payable at a bank, given in lieu of checks for the purpose of evading the stamp tax upon checks, are ''vouchers" within the meaning Of that word as used in the statute, and require q two.cent stamp. This applies to notes, drafts, &c., made, drawn, or accepted prior to Feb. s, 1875, when paid by the bank on or after that date.
 Second-This tax applies to '.checks drawn by bank upon itself, for the purpose of paying it's own dividends, coupons, or in terest of other corporations,' or for other payments.
 Third-Checks drawn by state, county, or city officers in their official capacity upon public funds deposited in a bank, are exempt, if said funds are kept separate from any private accounts, it not being within tue intent of the law to tax a public treasury.
 Orders for dividends are sub iect to the tax, if drawn for def, mite and certain sum, but not oth erwise. An ordinary certificate of deposit, used in the ordinary man. her, is not liable.
 Interest coupons are considered exempt. Bills of exchange, for eign as well as inland, when drawn upon a bank, banker, or trust company, are held to be subject to the tax, whether payable at sight or otherwise.
 Duplicates of bills, orders, &c., are liable to same as originals. Receipts not relating to banking business, for instance for rents, are exempt.

I sent a dispatch, and he answered immediately that he declined the nomination. The Convention, however. refused to consider the information as au- thentic.

 The private hospitality of White House is niggaldly; Ii |
 actually mean. All the pceri
 and other supplies are sainsT, from the army commissariants
 wholesale prices. Of course F 2 President gets the pick of ever, thing. Subordinates seeking pro motion take care of that. A larg kitchen garden attached to th White House, kept at the publl expense, furnishes vegetables fo. his table. The greenhouse,
 maintained at cost of TlO,O0O Q year. provide the ornamental flow CTS, and the horses in the stable are fed free.
 There is good reason to believe that large part of certain appro- priations, which were never made until GRANT inaugurate the scan dal. is diverted to maintaining his household, so that he may be said to live almost without cost in a princely style. Yet he solicited the increase of his salary and laid the foundation for tie indecent grab which contributed largely to the downfall of the republican party.
 Every President from WASH INGToN to JOHNSON was content with the old salary. Some of them, who were by no means pe- nurious, and maintained a gener- ous establishment, retired with a considerable balance on the credit side of the bank account. MT. Buchanan always lived like a gen tleman, entertained the Prince of Wales and suite as his guests without sending a bill to Con- gress, and kept hospitable house. He did not spend all his pay. Mr. Lincoln saved quite $55,000, and Mr. Johnson nearly as much, although his guests were more than treble those of his greedy successor.
 When the Presidents salary was made $50,000 year instead of $25, ,000, a promise was openly made in the House that these shameful perquisites would be cut of. It has not been kept, but quite the reverse is true, for Mr. Garfield and his confederates have expanded them and added new items. And this, too, in the midst of a general suffering and in presence of new taxation.

OUR MUNICIPAL ELEC- TION--WHAT ABOUTIT2

We have heard not word vet concerning our election for town officers for the. ensuing year. Un- der the new corporation law pas sed by the last general assembly, the election takes place each year on the first Tuesday in April which will be, this year, the 9th day; only ten days distant. Do the voters of Russellviile want an election? or, do they want the old officers to hold over? Why the Mayor has not issued his procla- nation, notifying the voters of the election, We cannot say; the elec- tion, however, if the people wish to hold one, will be just as valid without the proclamation, as with it. A neglect of duty on the part of the Mayor to issue the procla- nation, can in no manner deprive the voters of the town of their rights under the law to elect a new set of town officers. The off cers to be elected are Mayor, Re corder and five aldermen to hold their offices for one year; and un- der existing ordinances providing for the filling of other subordinate offices, a marshal, treasurer and street commissioner may also be elected. Any person who, at the time of the election, is a qualified voter under the laws of the state, and who has resided in the corpo- ration six months next preceding the election is legal voter at this election. Ifthere are any officers in our incorporation, whom the peo- pie wish to get rid of, this is the opportunity; and they should embrace it or hold their peace. We advise the voters of Russell vile, If they want an election, to hold a convention and put out good men, and also to decide upon responsible parties to act as judges and clerks of election, and to request them to be on hand promptly at the proper time, so the electors when assembled can have no difficulty in securing per sons to act in these capacities. The Mayor, however, may yet is- sue his proclamation, but if he don't the voters may still have the election if they desire.

FUNDING OF THE COUNTY
 DEBT,

We understand that under an act of the last general assembly, the proposition of funding the County indebtedness, will Tn all probability be submitted to the voters of Pope county, some time this summer. We have not yet been able to get draft of the act, and are not posted on its provis- ions, but it strikes us that this is a matter of material importance, and much of our prosperity de bends upon some better financial policy. As it is our scrip is worth only about 35 cents, and none is sued since the adoption of the new constitution can draw any interest. We think with proper manage ment and different manner of meeting the current expenses of our county, that our scrip might easily be made worth something like par. The voters and tax payers of Pope county would do well to post themselves on this matter, so that when the matter is submitted they can act intelligent ly in the premises. In the mean time we will endeavor to give the text of the act providing for the funding.
