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 [Advertisement] Notice.

Gai.vkston, February B.—The Bureau of Mexican Intelligence, at Brownsville, sends the following news : Another revolution has broken out under Valdez, and a detachment of Government troops was routed by the revolutionists. An expedition from the North of State Tahazeo started, under the command ol one Bastia, to march on the capital. Mendez is reported us being the prime mover. General Sanchez Ochea, an Ortegaist, has been arrested and imprisoned at San Luis Potosi. A movement is on foot in Vera Cruz to detach several villages from that State, and form anew one. From all parts of the interior come reports of robberies, kidnapping, and murders. Francisco G. P*laceio has been elected Governor of the State of Durango. Canales, Queeraga, and Curvajal are or ganizing near Camairogo, in Tamaulipas, preparatory to a revolution. Their agents are in Brownsville purchasing arms and munitions. Troops have been sent from Matamoras to fight them whenever found. An expedition, which started under Felix Piza to invade Flapo, failed, owing to the desertion of the National Guards. The ball will open shortly. Cortina has threatened the revolution of Juan. Jose de la Garza was not given possession of the gubernatorial seat of Tamanola, which he claims having won in the last election. ■ *• *>» From Alabama, Montgomery, Feb. B.— The full vote of Montgomery, Macon, Lee, Elmore, Talla poosa, Chambers, Bullock, and Coosa coun ties, fools up 1ff,159, all negroes but 77. Ihc vote cast in the same counties on the Convention question was 17,590 ; regis tered vote, 30,043. It is too soon to esti mate, ljut tho indications are that the Constitution is defeated. Mobile, Feb. 9.—Election concluded yesterday, and passed off in a most quiet ami orderly manner. Vote stands: whites, 89: colored, 4,910. Montgomery, Feb. 10.—Out of seventeen South Alabama counties, embracing the large negro counties of the State, the Con stitution is behind 3,700 votes. The hill eounily and the hlorida line oi couuties will place it at least 10,000 behinl. The election last fall on the Convention was held only at the Court Houses, aud continued three days, and the Convention was carried by about 10,000 over one half the regis tered vote. Three times more voting places were opened at the election on the Consti tution than on the Convention, ami this election continued five days. It is a clear defeat. News by Cable. New York, Feb. 9.—The Rising Star, from Aspinwall, brings one million and a quarter in treasure. Napoleon has altered his policy toward the Pope and Italy, in a sudden and re markable manner. He evinces a disposition to abandon the position of champion of the Holy See, assured, it is said, of the exist ence of Bourbon intrigues radiating from Rome. The imperial diplomacy with Rome has become colder, while the friendly rela tions hitherto existing with Victor Emanuel, are to be renewed. fjueen Isabella is forced to dissolve the Papal legion which was being recruited under her warrant, in Madrid, as Napoleon flatly objects to its service in the cause of the Holy See. • Washington Items- Washington, February 10.—There is intense anxiety to see the President's let ter to Grant.

FLORIDA, Talltu assee, February 10—The Minor ity Convention adjourned on Saturday for' one week, since when two or three of the minority have become dissatisfied. Os the whole, one refused to. sign tbe Constitution. Ihe majority will probably meet to-night, and proceed as if there had been no inter ruption. Gen. Meade is expected here to morrow. Lively times are looked for within the next few days. From present appear ances Billings and Richards will go over hoard. LOUISIANA. New Orleans, February 10.—The Con vention to day adopted an ordinance pro viding for the election and tatification of the constitution immediately after adjourn ment, leaving tho date hi ink. Another ordinance provides that the election for State, Judicial, Municipal, Parish Officers, State Legislature and Congrees'onal Representatives, he held at the same time as the election for the ratifi cation of the Constitution. An ordinance was adopted providing that registered electors may vote in any parish they may happen to he in on the day of election, upon presentation of their registration papers. Os the new appointments to the City Council by General Ilancoelf, five are law yers; of these, Duplantier and Leaumont are now Judges of the District Court. The otter three have been on the Bench.

SOUTH CAROLINA. Charleston, February 10.—In the Con vention, three more sections to the Constitu tion were adopted. Section 21 defines crimes cognizable by grand juries. Section 22 abolishes imprisonment for debt, except in cases of fraud, and exempts homesteads. Section 23.

To allow respondents in United States Courts lo testify in their own behalf in States where such testimony is permitted in local courts. A large number of private bills was intro duced. The Ju lioi iry Committee was directed to inquire into the expediency of amending the Bankrupt law so as to require a majority of the creditors to compel involuntary bank ruptcy. A resolution that the seat of Government should be removed to the Mississippi Valley was disagreed to by a strictly party vote of 77 to 97. The drawing for seats created some con fusion and much merriment. A long discussion occurred regarding the bridging of the Mississippi at Rock Island. A hill authorizing the bridging at the joint expense of tho Government nnd Rail Road Company passed. A resolution calling on Grant for a copy of the President’s last letter, and referring the Judiciary Committee's impeachment evidence to the Reconstruction Committee, with privilege to report at any time, was passed. The House went into Committee of the Whole. A general discussion showed an inoreas. ing partizan bitterness. Tho House adjourned.

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 but not in the reasons assigned. The Chief* Justice announced that the present term would be adjourned till the first Monday in April. State of Texas vs. White, el. al. —motion to dissolvo injunction, restraining White el. al. from certain bonds, on the ground among others, that Texas, being no State, had no rights in Court.
