Redemption of Mutilated National
Bank Notes.
The subjoined circular from the Comp
troller of the Treasury is important and in
teresting:
TREASURY DEPARTMENT,
OFFICE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY,
WASHINGTON, D. c., February. Is, 1866
An impression seems to prevail 10 the
public mind that the same rigid rules and
regulations prescribed by the Treasurer Of
the United States fur the redemption of
mutilated Treasury and United States notes
are applicable to the redemption of nutia
ted bank notes.
This is mistake. Although circular
issued to national banks from this Office,
containing "susges:ions" on this subject,
recognized the propriety, in some instances,
of redeeming mutilated notes at less than
their face value, the intention was to
leave the matter mainly to the discretion of
the officers of the banks.
In order, however, to make the matter
perfectly clear, and to obviate for the future
all necessity for explanatory letters, 1 now
propose briefly to state that the experience
has demonstrated the inexpedieucy, if not
the illegality, of allowing the fractional
valuations of mutilated notes, besides which
it oonfuses and complicates our accounts to
such degree as to render the plan i'm
practicable.
A bank is bound to redeem its notes on
demand. The fact that portion of one of
its promissory notes is torn off or missing
does not cancel this obligation, so long as
there is no reason to believe that the mis-.
sing portions of the note can or will be used
to defraud. Section fifty eight of the cur.
rency act will always justify an inquiry as
to the cause or manner of mutilstion.
If the explanation is satisfactory the note
should be redeemed in full; but if the in
quiry should lead to the belief that fraud
was intended, the bank would be justified
in refusing to redeem it
Nothing will justify deduction from the
face value of note except fraudulent in
tent, and evidence Of fraudulent intent
would justify the bank in refusing to redeem
the note; therefore, the note should be re.
deemed in full, or not at all
The full face value will be allowed for all
mutilated notes returned to this Office, when
such value was allowed by the bank which
redeemed them.
The officers of the banks are the only
competent judges as to the proprietles or
necessities of the case, and all questions a.
rising upon mutilated notes presented for
redemption are left to their judgment and
discretion.

her little boy his first pair of colored trows

more economical to make them of the same
dimensions behind as before, so that they
might be changed about and wear evenly
and 80 she fashioned them. Their effect
when doDned by the little victim was ludi
crous in the extreme. Papa, at first sight
of the baggy garment, $3.50 fearfully and
wonderfully made, burst into a roar of
laughter and exclaimed, "Oh, my dear, how

he's going to school or coming home"

pie will remember that DAVIS was arrested
and put in prison and held there on that
charge, and that the Government has paid
the reward offered for his larrest out of the
Treasury Of the United States.
Why then, as a military prisoner, has he
not been tried as the other assassins of Mr..

same form melted out to him that the other
assassins we're subjected to? Why does the
Administration crouch before the Rebel

prisoned. and then shrink from bringing him

Again, if WIRz was guilty aud deserving
punishment as an humble instrument of the
barbarous cruelty of JEFF. DAVIS, why is not

crimes which he caused his tools to commit?
And why is he not brought to trial before the

A COPPDRHEAD LIE NAILED-GEN
LOGAN.

Gen. LOGAN has been charged by the
Copperhead press with having furnished
money to his brother-in-law to enable him
to enter the rebel army. This falsehood is
most efectually crushed by this despatch to
the Chicago Tribune from Cairo. We COM
mend it to the Constitution which greeted
Gen. Logan iaprearance in this city with

reference to General Logan, wherein that
gallant Union officer was charged with furn,
