AN ExPLANATIoS.
The report that large number Of $40
old -oupona hava haou iaaua1
iously, and that they are paid when re-
lesmed, there being no way of detecting
hem, is incorrect, as has been ascertained
oy inquiry Of the proper officers Of the Treas
Iry Department. No bonds or coupons have
,een surreptitiously issued. The report
probably grew cut of the fact that some
ouPons with numbers apparently dupI-
ated, Weretredeemed, but which proved on
to be simply an error in num-
'ering. 1 80 r--.-.--Y .-.,..
