Mr. PEARCE:
A friend has called my attention
TO an article in the last numbe Of the
Free Press, propoundlng 10 me several
questions calculated to produce wrong
Impressions, aud 10 which reply may
not be improper
The writer asks first
"Ilave you at any time within the last
four years bought, or redeemed any
county order al loss sum, or value
than that actually due upon said order
at tho time Oft preSeOlmenIf"
| answer that, IN consequence Of the
embarrassed state Of the Treasury the
county orders have been selling at dis
count OF from twelve 10 twenty five por
cent during tho whole Of that period; "
tha, the person holding them considered
himself very fortunate II ho could dis
poso OF them even at that ratio Tor caSd
And presume lhoro are very few busl
moss men, " auV,ln this community who
have no, dealt 10 them 10 greater oG
