firm* fur Broken.
Broken have been heretofore in the habit
of making a distinction in the tax stamp
between the contracts for the sale of stocks,
bonds, gold, etc., and the actual sales therool.
By law, the contract is liable to tbo same
stamp as the actual sales, nnd Commissioner
Rollins, on the 9th of last month, issued a
circular affirming this view of the case.
Nothing has yet been done in the matter;
hut those who deal in stocks, bonds, gold,
etc., aud deliver or receive, by way of con
tract, without having the same stamp affixed
as for actual sales, are liable to a fine of
SSOO where the tax is less than SIOO, and
when over SIOO to a penalty of SI,OOO for
each offence. It is likely that this subject
will soon receive more prompt attention
from the officials than it has hitherto.
A Word of Caution.
There is no doubt that our merchants, us
in other cities, are passing through a criti
cal period—are encountering difficulties
and dangers of a very unusual oharnctcr.
Most of them are breasting the tide nobly.
At such a time they need encouragement.
Their reputation for integrity and solvenoy
becomes as dear and as vital to them as a
woman’s reputation for chastity is to her.
Prejudicial rumors, suspicion and distrust,
however groundless at first, are quite capa
ble of producing the very result they hint
at. It is, therefore, a high duty to abstain
from circulating reports affcoting the busi
ness standing and condition of gentlemen,
unless they are known to have some foun
dation.
» Home, Sweet Home,”
In these days of high rents e.nd unsettled
finances, one of the most difficult problems
Fo solve is where aud liow to live. A man
may have a thousand objects of ambition,
but his heart is in his home with his wife
and children—and whatever can be done to
beautify, adorn, or make more worthy that
sacred spot, acquires an increasing interest
in his eyes. Many who feel that the name
of “home” can never be applied io hired
tenements, would gladly build a nest
their own, however humble. To such, the
several Building and Loan Associations in
our city present opportunities that should
be at once embraced.
The regular monthly meeting of one of
these Associations—the Reliance—will be
held on Thursday evening at the City Hall.
“Shabby.”--Very,
The Savannah Republican (Obstruction
ist) has an article in its local column with
a very appropriate caption by a very cap
tious writer—the said paragram being a
very “shabby” attempt to induce the
public to believe that Mr. Tweedy, the
efficient acting-Mayor of this city “has
forwarded Augusta paupers to Savannah.”
The statement is false. The “old and
decrepid man” alluded to, as wo happen to
know, made application to our Mayor pro
tem, for assistance in reaching Savannah,
assuring Mr. Tweedy that he had friends
in that city to whom he was anxious to go,
etc, Asa matter of course, Mr. TANARUS., in his
official capacity, acted promptly; he had
the old man temporarily provided for, and
sent an officer with him to the boat about
starting for Savannah, who paid his fare
thence.
We are Toth to believe that our Savan
nah cotemporary would, intentionally, do an
injustice to our city officials, despite the
animus apparent in his uncalled-for use of
the tetm “Radical.” We will merely add
that Augusta is nobly “taking care of her
own paupers,” and, as the records prove,
does not complain of “having additional
burdens to hear,” occasionally, in the mat
ter of relief to applicants who represent
themsolves as hailing from the seaboard.
Sleeping: Car*.
Beyond all question, one of the greatest
conveniences and luxuries to the traveller
by rail is a Sleeping Car. Tho way worn ,
traveller seldom lets the opportunity pass to
rest his wearied limbs. On all the principal
railways, north, east and west, these cars
are found for the comfort of travellers.
They have been on certain roads so many
years that they are now considered indis
pensable. It has been but a few years
since the first were introduced into a South*
ern State, and they have now become so
popular that they can be found on nearly
all railroads of any length.
It lias been our good fortune, recently, to
ride upon two of these sleeping cars on the
Georgia road, between this city and At
lanta—the “Georgia,” and her sister “Ten.
nessee,” perfect palaces. On entering either
(after a cordial greeting from the affable
Conductor) one is struck with the neat
appearance of the berths, state-rooms,
sitting-rooms, carpetings, curtains, mirrors,
furniture, etc., and the taste displayed in
every particular. It is to be hoped that our
people will appreciate and patronize these
elegant cars, and that the time is not far
distant when similar palatial enterprises
will be seen on every railway in the South

Cbronic Catarrh,
A Clergyman in a neighboring village had
suffered for many years, from an obstinate
catarrh, which had resisted all attempts for
a cure. Tho obstruction and discharge
from the nose was constant, destroying
both taste and smell; anil at times even
interfering from the change of voice, with
his public ministrations. Almost in dcs
pair, ho commenced tho use of Humph

the Pope and Italy, in a sudden and re

Washington, February 10. —Tho Supreme
Court, in the old Georgia case, petitioning to
restrain Stanton, Grant, and Pope from pro
ceeding under the reconstruction acts, de
cidedly adversely at its last term. The
reasons for that opinion, in effect, were
given to-day, as follows :
The questiou involved, and the r’ght
sought to be protected, were exclusively po
litical iu their character, relating to sover
eignty and government, and not to lights of
persons and property; and that the Court
had no jurisdiction, therefore, over tho sub.
ject matter of the bill. They cite the cases
of the State of Rhode Island vs. the Stale of
Massachusetts ; of the Cherokee Nation vs.
the State of Georgia, and other cases, to
show that the Court lias no jurisdiction to
decide a political question.
The Chief Justice concurred in the result
