A general overhauling Of the affairs
Of the Department viii Immediately

There has been, for long time in the

persons, other than those in the note

to visit the rooms where the greenbackH
are prepared unless upon special orders
from the Secretary of the Treasury, pre-
viously obtained. The Secretary has

now discovered that some Of these per-
sons have taken advantage Of the privi-
lege thus extended, and have made them.

chinery Of the establishment, thereby

Careful scrutiny Of the new counter
felt 500 compound interest note by al
the clerks at the Treasury Department
has convinced them that the note wa
printed from the original dies or bee
pieces which we're engraved outside th'
Treasury at the commencement OF th'
greenback manufacture.
By the terms OF the contract o
the first engravers of the greenbacl
plates, the dies were to be given up Il
the Treasury Department when ii chos'

into its own hands. Secretarys Chss
and Fessenden made demands for th
plate during their terms Of Office, bui
neither succeeded in getting hold Of al
the stock, and consequently did not pc
TOR all the plates Upon the accession
of Mr.. Mccullough to the Secretaryshil

livered all the stock. This allegation

Printing Bureau, although by some Chi
