/. S. 7-30 Loan.

The Secretary of the Treasury gives no.
tice that subscriptions will be received for
Coupon Treasury Notes, payable three years
from Aug. 18th, 1864, with semi-annual in
per cent per annum,-principal and inter-
est both to be paid in lawful money.
These notes will be convertible at the op-
tion of the holder at maturity, into six per
cent. gold bearing bonds, payable not less
than five nor more than twenty years from
their date, as the Government may elect
They will be issued in denominations of $50,
500, $500, 81, 200, and $4,000, and all
subscriptions must be for fifty dollars or some
multiple of fifty dollars.
The notes will be transmitted to the own
ers free of transportation charges as soon af-
ter the receipt of the original Certificates Of
Deposit as they can be prepared.
As the notes draw interest from August
Is, persons making deposits subsequent to
that date must pay the interest accrued from
date of deposit
Parties depositing twenty-five thousand
dollars and upwards for these notes at any
one time will be allowed commission of one
quarter of one per cent, which will be paid
by the Treasury Department upon the re-
ceipt of bill for the amount, certified to by
the officer with whom the deposit was made.
No deductions for commissions must be made

Its Exemption from State or Mu
nicipal Taxation,

But aside from all the advantages we have
enumerated, special Act of Congress er-
empts all bonds and Treasury notes from
local taration. On the average, this exemp-
ton is worth about two per cent. per an
mum, according to the rate Of taxation in va
rious parts of the country.
1t is believed that no securities offer so
great inducements 10 lenders as those issued
by the government. In all other forms of
Indebtedness, the faith or ability of private
parties or stock companies or separate com
muniiies only, is pledged for payment,
while the whole property ofthe country is held
TO secure the discharge OF all the obligations
of the Uuited States.
While the government offers the most lib
eraI terms for its loans, it believes that the
very strongest appeal will be to the loyalty
and patriotism of the people
Duplicate certificates will be issued for all
deposits. The party depositing must endorse
upon the original certificate the denomina-
ton of notes required, and whether they are
to be issued in blank or payable to order
When so endorsed it must be left with the
officer receiving the deposit, to be forwarded
to the Treasury Department.
Subscriptions will be received by the
Treasurer of the United States, at Washing
ton, the several Assistant Treasurers and
designated Depositaries and by the
First National Bank of Scranton Pa
Second National Bank Of Scranton, Pa.
and by all National Banks which deposita-
ries of public money, and all
RESPECTABLE BANKS AND BANKERS
throughout the country will give further in
formation and
Afford every Facility TO Subscribers.

Special Advantages Of this Lean

1t is National Savings Bank, offering a
higher rate of interest than any other, and
the best security. Any savings bank which
pays its depositors in U. S. Notes, considers
that it is paying in the best circulating me-
dium of the country, and it cannot pay in
anything better, for its own assets are either
in government securities or In notes or bonds
payable IN government paper.
1t is equally convenient asa temporary or
permanent investment The notes can al
WAYS be sold for within fraction of their
face and accumulated interest, and are the
best security with banks as collaterals for
discounts.
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Stroudsburg, Pa.) 1853-1911, 1864-09-08
Convertible into Six per Cent. $50 Gold
Bond

In addition to the very liberal interest on
the notes for three years. this privilege of
conversion is now worth about three per cent
per annum, for the current rate $50 Bonds
is not less than nine per cent premium,
and before the war the premium on six per
cent U. S. stocks was over twenty per cent.
1t will be seen that the actual profits on this
loan, at the present market rates, is not less
than ten per cent. per annum.
