THE COUNTERFEIT COMPOUND INTEREST NOTES.
The Star of this evening says: The suspicion that
the plate from which the counterfeit compound IN
terest one hundred dollar notes were printed, was
made from an impression taken Of the genuine plate
in the printing division of the Treasury Department
is set at rest by an examination made to-day of The
genuine and counterfeit notes by General Spinner
United States Treasurer Mr. 5. NJ. Clark chief Of the
which the Treasury Department prints the back ol
one hundred dollar compound interest notes was
made by taking the plate of the five per cent legal
tender note and cutting out the sphere in the center
of the bill, substituting for il device containing
the statement OF the terms on which the compound
interest note is issued.
The legal tender note plate was purchased by the
Government Of the American Bank Note Company
and the investigation of to-day shows that the cOrln
erfeis made up from plate surreptitiously OBJ
tanned from this company In proof of this the bac cs
of the genuine and counterfeit notes are exactly sini
lar tnEf or 90.
the sphere upon which the lettering and other work
are widely different, Any person. by comparing the
backs of the genuine and counterfeit with strong
magntyng glass, will perceive that many Of the let
ters differently spaced. and this dissmilartv in
some respects Is so marked as to be pcrcepbe to the
naked eye, II the counterfeit plate had been made
from impressions of the genuine plate in the Treasury
Department the distinctions, if any. would be found
IN other portions of the work; but here, the only
change that has been made is found in the new sphere
inserted in the old legal tender note plate by the
Printing Bureau.
THE cLERKsHIP OF THE HOUSE.
1t is understood that an effort will be made by the
New York delegation at the organization of Congress
to divide the clerical hOnOrs and emoluments with
Pennsylvania which has so long enjoyed monopoly
the clerkship of the House will undoubtedly be made
Several candidates for the cerkship are being talked
over by members already here, and it would seem
from their earnestness that Mr.. Mcpherson has more
to do than simply walk over the course. The name
of Richard A. Sherman, of Oneida county, y eas
and Nays Clerk of the House. is mentioned in this
connection.
By order OF the President the Old Capitol prison
will be vacated and closed tomorrow. All the pri-
soners who will not be discharged turned over to
the civil courts, will be sent to Fort Whippe, Va
Directions have emanated from the same high
authority to reduce forthwith the special detective
force under General Baker, and the work of diminu
tion has already commenced. This is prompt action
in the right direction.
