A rigid investigation 10 being made by
Secretary McCulloch in to the mysteries Of
the 500 compound interest notes. This -
undoubtedly the most dangerous counter
felt which has IS yet appeared, and many
will challenge the severest scrutiny Of the
bank note companies who have been em.
ployed in anywise upon the Government
dies and plates. The face Of this note is .
most accurate imitation Of the genuine,
while the back is either the genuine Gov
eminent plate or an electrotype from it. II

engraved by the American Bank Note Com
pany, have been allowed to get into improp
or hands, or this fac smile was obtained
BY the electrotype process on the first n.y.
pothesis 1t is difficult to see why the genu-
inc face was not obtained in the same way,
but if the plate from which it Was printed
was obtained by electrotyping, the proba-
tlc reason for the face not having been cleo
trotype is, that the vignet and other por-
tons Of it are engraved upon several pieces,
while the back is in one. In connection
with the electrotyping theory, it is now re-
mcmbered that experiments in the duplica-
ton Of plates BY that method were caI ried
on in the Treasury building by persons not
regular employees Of the Government, at in

have fallen into improper hands but it can
not be denied that in the earlier stage Of
making these plates at the Treasury Derart
ment greater opportunities were permitted.

ploycc OF the currncy printing bureau being

upon SO important matter will receive the
most thorough sitting in the investigation
now going forward.
