SMALL. NoTEa.--A newspaper paragraph an
nounced = short time since. that after a certain
day the Secretary OF the Treasury would m
force The law or laws prohibiting the circua-
tom in the hi .rict of notes of any dan ouipatio
iess than five dollars. The following Is Mr.
ChaS@'s reply 20 n letter upon the subject ad-

TRHAsTEY DEPARTMENT, Sept; is. 80.
Csr'lcnca. EOur communication. dated the
tst inst. did not reach lae until yesterday.
No order has been made by this Department.
for the Suppression OF any description OF circu-
latns not.E, in This District or elsewhere
An act OF Congress forbids thu circulation OF
any tokens or notes for parts OF D dollar intend
ed for use n money.
The more general question: -" What circu,a-
ton OF notes is lawful in this Districts % has
been referred to the Solicitor of the Treasury,
and he has expressed the opinion that no potas,
except those of fl We dollars and upwards. issued
by authorized banks established without the
District # Columbia, can BE- legally circulated
rs money within il.
perceive no solid ground of dissent from
this opinion.
II its correctness be admitted. the circulation
in this District OF any notes whatever under
five dollars, except T.. =. notes of that dr.crjp-
ton, is Illegal; and the circulation OF any notes
of i've dollars and upwards, iSsued by indiyid-
tials, associations and corporations within the
District, IL also Illegal.
1pasmuch, however, rs note circ ulation has
been created here under strong excus;n. cir
cumstanCcs, ii seems unreasonable that the
Government should interfere witt, il, until il is
itself able to supply its place by legitimate
issues.
On The other hand, it is the duty of all good
citizens TO refrain from increasing this unau-
ihoriz,d circulation, and from all attempts to
continue 1t by unnecessary substitution for
United States EOcS.
1 GU Iiiif D assured, therefore, that thlS de-
rartment will adopt no meas which will ill.,
luriousiy affect the trade and business of the
District by the premature suppression of thu
existing circulation; and, or the other hand,
that II viii omit no eXcrtion TO promote those
interests by the substitution. speedily q, pos
sihc, OF legal for an Illegal currency.
hope the object may be- i,cted iii tn course
Ct the month OF October.
With great respect. yours IT, S. =. CHASE.
