u. S, f0-40 BONDS!

VJNHESE Bonds are issued under the act O
Congress of March Sth, 1864, which
provides that all Bonds issued under this Act
shall be EXEMPT FROM TAXATION by
or under any state or municipal authority
Subscriptions to these Bonds are received in
United States notes or notes of National
Banks. They are TO BE REDEEMED IN
COIN, AT the pleasure of the Government, AZ
any period not Tess than ten nor more ten
forty years from their date and until theiI
redemption FIVE PER CENT. INTEREST
WILL BEPAID IN COIN, on Bonds of not
over one hundred dollars annually and on
all other Bonds semi-annually The interest
is payable on the first days of March and
September in each year.
Subscribers will receive either Registered
or Coupon Bonds, as they may prefer. Re
gistered Bonds are recorded on the books OF
the U. S. Treasurer, and can be transferred
only on the owners order. Coupon Bonds
are payable to bearer, and are more conve-
nient forcommercial uses.
Subscribers to this loan will have the OPP
ton Of having their Bonds draw interest
from March lst, by paying the accrued in
terest in coin -(or in United States notes, or
per cent. for premium,) or receive them
drawing interest from the date of subscip-
tion and deposit. AS the Bonds are
Exempt from Municipal or State
Taxation,
their value is increased from one to three
per cent. per annum, according to the rate
of tax levies in various parts of the coun-
try.
At the present rate Of premium on gold
they pay
Over Eight Per Cent. Interest
in currency, and are of equal convenience
as a temporary investment.
1t is believed that no securities offer so
great Inducements to lenders as the various
descriptions of L. S. Bonds. In all other
forms of indebtedness, the faith or ability of
private parties or stock companies or scpa-
rate communities only is pledged for pay
ment, while for the debts of the United
States the whole property of the country is
holden to secure the payment of both prin-
cipal and interest in coin.
These Bonds may be subscribed for in
sums from $50 up to any magnitude, on the
same terms, and are thus made equally
available to the smallest lender and the lar
gost capitalist. They can be converted in
to money at any moment, anl the h)ldor
will have the benefit of the interest.
It may be useful to state in this c3nncc-
ton that the total funded debt Of the United
States on which interest is payable in gold,
on the Sd day of March, 1854, was S76S, $685.,
900. The interest on this debt for the coming
fiscal year will be Si5, ,937, 1876, while the GUS
toms revenue in gold for the current fiscal
year, ending June 30th, 1854, has been at the
rate of over 800, 1000 per annum.
1t will be seen that even the present gold
revenues of the Government are largely in
excess of the wants of the Treasury for the
payment of gold interest, while the recent
increase eff the tariff will doubtless raise the
annual receipts from customs on the same
amount of importations, to Sl50,0O0000 per
annum.
Instructions to the National Banks acting
as loan agents were not issued from the Uni
ted States Treasury until March rs, but in
the first three weeks in April the subscrip-
tons averaged more than Ten MILLIONS
A WEEK.
Subscriptions will be received by the
First National Bank Of CadiZ. o.
And by all National Banks which are depos-
itaries of Public money, and all
RESPECTABLE BANKS and BANK E1tS
throughout thecountry, (acting as agents of
the National Depository Banks,) will fur
ther information on application and
AFFORD EVERY FACILITY TO SUB
SCRIBERS.
