to repndiate all the small postal currency
that have pieces torn off Of them, or have
been torn and mended. They imagine
that such notes will not be redeemed by the
Secretary of the Treasury. They are in
error. A treasury order, issuel some time
since, did substantially announce that such
notes would be rejected, but recent treas

missing; and Chat if it be apparent that a
