The Other side-Reply to Mr.. Ames

-
ST.. PAUL, April II, $50.
To tho Editors of the Minnssotian a
We regret to find in the Minnesotian of
this morning an uncaLed for attack upon
Minnesota Currency in general and ourselves
in particular, purporting to come from Coun-
sellor Ames of this City; and that the public
may understand all the facts in the case, we
herewith submit a statement for publication
in your paper which can be fully verified if
necessary. On Friday afternoon last Mr..
Ames called at our Bank with some Ovation
ma and Glencoe money and stated, that he
wished to get Exchange for 1925; but was in
formed that Exchange was very scarce, and
that we had none for sale except to regular
dspositors. Mr.. Ames when asked to be &C
comodated with 500, in endorsed City Scrip
in exchange for Minnesota Currency, stating
that he wished it in small bills to pay out;
but no sooner was the scrip paid than he de-
handed Gold for the same. We then offer
ed to sell him the Exchange asked for, which
he declined, taking up the scrip and leaving
the Bank at 81 O'Clock, after Banking hours.
We did not refuse to redeam the scrip in
Gold or Exchange, and are ready to do so as
successors to Pease Chalfant & Co. under the
contract with the City of St. Paul until Dec.
2, 1859, when the said contrast with the City
expires. Yours Truly,
R. NJ. S. PEAsE

Important Communication.

We call attention to an important commu-
nication in another column from MIcHA Ell E.
AMEs, Esq, one of the eminent lawyers of
this City, who exhibits some of his personal
experience of the peculiar advantages of our
present Railroad currency, as medium of
exchange and as a substitute for money
These difficulties are already upon us, when
only fifty or sixty thousand Of this species of
currency are as yet issued. What will be
the value of such currency, and how avail
able it will be for business purposes when
few hundreds of thousands more are set ahoat
broadcast in the community, as will soon be
the case, it might be well for the people of all
classes to ponder. Thus far, we have not
seen fit to say much relative to this currency,
beyond a simple warning to the People that it
was unsafe, unreal, and that eventually tre-
mendous explosion must ensue. We COM
mend the fact of Mr.. AMEs communication to
the serious consideration of everybody, and
repeat our warning of "stand from under :"
