seA. We sincerely sympathise with our most
worthy friend, Mr.. r. l.. IIames, in his severe
loss last Saturday, the destruction of his BAN
and contents by fire. Mr. IIamcs is one of our
most intelligent and successful farmers, and too
true christian to permit even so heavy loss
to seriously affect him.

CESSATION Of INTERNAL REvENuE.-All inter
nal revenue taxation ceased on July !, ex-
cert on whskcy and tobacco in ito various
forms. Checks, drafts, orders, vouchers match
es, pcrfumery, proprietary medicines and
bitters, OIL and after that day cease to require
stamps The use Of stamps on checks has been
sufficiently vexatious, and their disuse will
probably excite regret in no quarter. There is
also n change in the postal law, reducing the
cost Of money orders which took effect on July
|. The reduction of letter postage to two cents
does not begin until October /. The postal
notes for amounts under SIS will be issued in
September, if ready for use by that time.

No PARTY NoMISATIoNs.- July
l3.-At a meeting Of the city Democratic exc
tive committee this afternoon resolution was
adopted to the effect that the committee deem it
inexpedient to call ward meetings for the pur-
pose of making nominations for the coming
municipal election. The resolution was adopted
after discussion by vote of 5 to 2. This action
of the committee makes the contest n free fight
outside Of party organization. 1t is not unlike
ly, however that an effort will he made to or
ganize the Democracy anew, and make regular
nominations for the election which takes place
in August. There are only two aspirants in the
field for mayor. These are Mr.. S. A. Townes,
the incumbent, and Mr.. Henry Briggs, of the
firm of Briggs & Hammond, merchants. Both
of them are good Democrats. The city registra-
tim books, just closed, exhibit a list Of 900
white voters to 400 cOlored.
