GOVERNOR CURTIN
His Health Improving Letter from Surgeon-General
Phillips.
Harrisburg, Jan. 13. Letters recived
here from Governor Curtin, dated Havana,
January 5, indicate that he will leave Cuba
on the 15th instant, for New York, and may
consequently be expected at the State capital
by this day week.
The Governor would. have prolonged his
stay in Cuba, but is'constraincd to leave as
indicated by his high sense of duty to the
public interest, arid the enormous expense of
remaining longer on the island is largi
than his private means will justify him in
incurring.
The following letter from Surgcon-Gcncr
al Phillips is interesting in this connection
Havana. Jan. 2, 18GC Hon. Eli Slifer
Dear Sir: It affords me great pleasure to in
form 3ou that the health of Gov. Curtin has
steadily improved since his arrival in Cuba
The alarming symptoms from which he has
suffered for so long a period have nearly
disappeared under the influence of a mild
climate. I am convinced that a prolonged
slay in this latitude would result in his cure
and permanent recovery. Though not in a
condition to withstand the rigor of a Northern
winter, the Governor was very anxious to
return to Pennsylvania on the 1st int., to
resume his official duties. He has however
at my earnest solicitations, concluded torc
main in Havana until the loth of this month
when he will embark for New York on the
steamer Eagle. Very truly yours,
JOSEPH A. PHILLIPS.
Washington, Jan. 14, 1S66.
Singular Gift and Message to Ssnator
Sumner.
Late on Saturday night as a telegraph hoy
was entering the private rooms of Senator
Sumner with a dispatch, he stumbled upon a
paper box which had been placed aganst the
door and neatly addressed to Mr. Sumner,
containing a full length human finger, neatly
wrapped up and covered by the following sug
gestive note, which we give as worded and
spelled:
"You old son of a bitch, I send you a piece
of one of your friends, and if that bill of yours
passes I will have a piece of you.
A Union Man."
The finger must have been very recently
cut close from the hand of a negro or mulatto.
ihese "reconstruction demonstrations arc
becoming quite too frequent to improve the
temper of Congress toward those who now
openly boast that they have done, and would
do again with any show of success, all in
their power to dismember this Government.
The President on Wednesday sent a
message to the Senate, in reply to the iu
quiry of that body in relation to the con
finement and trial of Jefferson Davis.
The message embraces reports from the
Secretrry of War and Attorney General,
the former showing that Davis is still
held on charges of treason, of inciting
the assassination of Abraham Lincoln,
and of starving Union prisoners of war ;
that the President desired to have him
first tried for tiea?on, and that the At
torney General recommended Virginia as
the most proper place for such trial, but
that Chief Justice Chase declines to hold
a court withiu the limits of that cireuit.
The Attorney General merely states the
substance of the opiuion formerly given
by him, in which he says that trials for
treason cannot be held before a military
tribunal ; that though active hostilities
have ceased, astale of warstill exists in the
territory in rebellion, for which reason Da
vis and other prominent rebels can be right
fully held in custody; and that when peace
shall b"e restored in law and in fact it will
be the duty of the President to cause
criminal proseeutious to be instituted be
fore the proper tribunals against the pro
minent Rebels who are held for trial.
It looks as though it would be some time
yet before Jeff. 'Davis is
trial.

INTERNAL REVENUE.
An Important Circular Cancellation of
btamps.
Special Dispatch to The N. Y. Tribune.
Washington, Monday, Jan. 15, 1866.
The Commissioner of Internal llevneue
to-day issued an important circular res
pecting the cancellation of revenue
stamps, which will be of general iuterest
to tue busiuess men of the country.
After referring to the different sections
of the Stamp Act of June 30; 1861, he
decides that, under the power thus con
forred, authority has been giveu to im
print the initials and date upon stamps
iu ink, instead of writing them. The im
print must be distinct and legible. If
proprietary stamps caunot be so affixed to
the boxes, bottles or packages that in
opening the same or in usiug the contents
thereof they shall and must be unavoid
ably sind effectually destroyed, they should
be canceled in the ordinary manner by
writing or imprinting thereon the initials
and date. Cancellation by writiug or im
printing the iuitials and date in ink,
whereby the stamp is made to correspond
in those particulars with the instrument
to which it is affixed, is not only the le
gal but also the most effectual method
against fraud, and must be adopted, ex
cept, iu the case of proprietary articles
where it is otherwise specially provided.
Frequent reports have reached this
office showing that the law upou
this subject is very often discarded. In
some instances stamps are used without
being obliterated or destroyed in any
manner whatever. In others a cross sim
ply, generally with ink, but sometimes
even a pencil is used, or a hole is punch
ed through the stamp. These aad sim
ilar methods of cancellation afford little
or no protection agaiust the use of stamps
asecond time. Great frauds may be,aud
as investigation shows, have been practi
ced upon the public revenue in this man
ner. Collectors, assessors, inspectors, and
all other officers of this Dreau arc there
fore instructed to give this subject thicr
special attention, to bring it to the no
tice of persons using stamps, and to re
quire .strict conformity to the law. If
persons, after having been fully notified
of the requirements of the statute respect
iug the cancellation of stamps, and of
their liabilities for non-compliance there
with, wilfully persist in their frandulent
use, without effectually cancelling and
obliterating them in the manner required
by law, leeal proceeding should be in
stituted for the recovery of the prescrib
ed penalties.

The Methodist Episcopal Church is
making rapid progress in the former
Slave" States. In Louisiana and Texas,
more than 20,000 colored Methodists
have broken off their connection with the
Southern Methodist Church add joined
the Northern Church. Bishop Thomson
organized in December, at New-Orleans,
Mississippi Annual Conference of the M.
E. Church, which already numbers 17
preachers and 22,000 members. A "Bib
lical Institute" has been opened in the
city of New-Orleans, and a new Church
organ, The iVcw Orleans Advocate, has
been started by the Eev. Dr. J. P. New
man. In Kentucky, 25 ministers of the
Southern Methodist Church, with about
5,000 of the white members, have declar
ed their intention of joining the North
ern Church. The colored congregations,
either have already taken the same step,
or intend soon to take it.
In Georgia, the Bcv. Mr. Caldwell, a
member of the Georgia Annual Confer
ence, to whose sermons on Slavery we re
ferred some weeks ago, is now laboring as
missionary of the Methodist Episcopal
Church. There, as in every Southern
State, it is highly probable that the en

Church will connect itself with Northern
Methodism. Tribune.
