States Government will avail itself Of the
option Of paying the five-twenty bonds Of
1862 next year, and that the liquidation
will DO made in currency. This idea keeps
bonds much below the price at which they
would sell were it understood that the
Government regards itself bound to pay
in gold. Should you deem it proper to
give expression to your views, Of which
we could make use through our European
circular. we have no doubt your opinion
would be Of much interest to foreign in
vestors.
[sisnsd] L. P. MORTON & Co.

TRBAsuRY DEPARTMENT, Nov. 10TH
Gentlemen: Your favotof the 18th 10 re-
ceived. I regard, as did also my preds.
cessors, all bonds OF tie United States as
payable in coin. The bonds that have
matured since the suspension Of specie
payments have been so paid, and I have
no doubt the same will be true with 9TH
ers. This being, a. I understand, the
established policy Of the Government, the
f~ve-tweuty bonds Of go will DO either
called in at the expiration Of Ave years
and paid in coin, or be permitted to run
until the Government Is prepared to pay
them in coin.
