NATIONAL BANK NOTES.

The following letter contains an important
decision:
TREASURY OF THE UNITED STATES,
WASHINGTON, May l6, 1866.
Dear SIR Your letter Of the 10th inst. has
just now been received.
You ask to what extent is tho Government
liable for the redemption OF the notes OF the
national banks?
: answer, to the full nominal face value Of
every note issued by the Comptroller Of the
Currency to bank and By the bank put into
circulation.
You ask: Should the bank deposits with
ne United States Treasurer to secure the cir
c.ilatiug notes with the banks depositing them
De inadequate to the redemption of the notes OF
re bank, by reason Of the decline Of the secu-
.ites deposited, is the Government bound to re-
::eem the notes at par?' The 47th section Of
he national currency act not only gives the
light to forfeit all the securities held for def
ciency, but the Government has first and par
amount lien upon all the assets Of detaulting
)ank. | therefore answer this question a1hr
:1atively.
you ash. again, 'could the absolute failing
q 1 national bank impair the value Of the
.,otes Of the bank making such tlilure?' I
answer, no. On the contrary, the notes of a
.iatlonal bank that has failed are rather better
Fan those of a bank in good standing, if away
Ion the business n arts of commercial centres
c; the country; for the reason that the Treas
yer 81 the United States becomes the cashier
Of auch detaultiUg bank, and will, through his
assistance and all other Government officers,
eGeem such circulation.
You ask, fourth, ARE the notes Of the United
States Treasury, beyond the fact of their being
cgsi-ten2er3 greater security to the holders
aan inc currency Of the national banks?'
""he United States legal-tender notes afford
% greater security to the holders than the
,otes o. the national backs. The only real diff
orenco between the two is that while the latter
&c Only c legal-tender from and to the Govern
ceat, the former are such legal-teuder from
nc tG all parties, whether municipalities, cor
?oIasicas or individuals.
Tery respectfully, yours,
F. E. SPINNER, Treasurer
