from Thompson's Reporter tia. the Secretary OF
the Treasury has matured his plans for a Govern
ment circulating medium, and that fifty dollar
notes, made payable to order, and bearing inter-
est of ore-tenth OF one cent per hundred dollars
are resdi TO be issued. They will be filed one
uniform endorser, and over the endorsement, on
the back, they will be made payable TO the bearer,
in specie, on demand, in this cty.
The size of the note corresponds with the old
Treasury notes, having for vignette the Anne
rcan eagle, with wings spread ready for 2 lofty
fight The figures each hand Of the eagle are
cncrcled by the coat of arms OF each State III
the Union, entwinod so as 10 form beautiful
wreath The engraving, which Is done by the
celebrated house of Rawdon, Wright 4 Hatch,
is the richest specimen we ever saw.
Early in October they will be issued. Ihclaw
governing them does not permit smaller demon
ination than fifty dollars.
