Counterfeit Treasury Notes.

Considerable settlement vas Great
cd III financial circles last week, b.
the discovery Of a large amount of
counterfeit Seycn-Thirty bonds in
market. The number IS, OF course,
not exactly known, but 100000 had
been pronounced spurious Friday.
1t appears that the counterfeit
bonds have appeared in the market
since the oath Of September, coming
mostly from the West, and opinions
differ as to their origin, some experts
considering them to be of English
manufacture. Suspicion as to their
commences WAS first excited by du-
plicate numbers, when, by close in
specton with the use OF the microscope
and comparison Of the genuine with
the counterfeit, their true character
was discovered About $4,000 worth
of the spurious bonds had previously
been redeemed at the Treasury, but
the Government, it is said, Will lose
nothing by this transactions, as it has
the receipts Of the various parties pre-
senting them.
All the counterfeit bonds Will be de
stroyed and the bankers sending them
in are not credited with them, so that
the Government loses nothing, while
the bankers and brokers suffer f they
canlo. go back OH the parties from
whom they purchased the spurious
bonds
The following points Of difference
are given between the genuine and
spurious
THE points of the star forming the
seal are longer than in the genuine,
and have n slightly blurred appear
ance and the red INK of the seal is a
shade lighter than the genuine. The
imprint at the bottom of the bond is
set differently in the margin There
IS an observable difference in the ex-
/ preston Of the vignette, representing
a female figure upon the face of the
bonds, the lines not being rs we'll
shaded nor as smooth and uniform in
color III the counterfeit. The figures
denotlng the number of the bond are
slightly uneayen, and the blue ink il
which they are printed lacks the me
talc and glossy appearance Of the gen
ume. The red figures in the coupons
attached, designating their numbers
are larger than IN the genuine. The
borders ana ornamental lathe work o
the coupons appear blurred and indif
ierentiy executed, and the white space
} between the margin Of the bonds ano
the coupons Is wider than the genuine
bonds"
Some parties say, concerning thes
and other differences recognised, tina
they are too nice distinctions, even 70

THE TRANSCRIPT.
Friday, Oc;. IS, 1867.
The Governors Message.

Governor Pages Message to the
General Assembly, which we print
elsewhere, is plain, straightforward /
business document The exhibit Of
the finances will be highly gratifying
to the people of the State. The fund
ed debt of the State has been consid-
erably reduced during the past year,
and, it is believed, that it viii be more
so the coming year. The Governor
thinks it sound policy to continue to
apply yearly one hundred and fifty
thousand dollars as a sinking fund to
retire this debt; and in order to do
this, it will be necessary to assess a tax
upon the polls and ratabe estate of
the Inhabitants of the State, that will
realize to the Treasury four hundred
thousand dollars. This SUN is nearly
one hundred and aeventy thousand
dollars less than was raised by tax last
annual session.
The Governors plan for the collec-
ton of taxes is good one and we
hope it will be adopted by the Legjsla-
ture. Numerous calls from different
collectors are annoying, as many Of
our readers will undoubtedly willingly
testify. The Governor very properly
recommends the abolition of the Office
of Bank Commissioner With due de-
ference to the worthy gentlemen who
have held the Office we cannot regard
it otherwise than very big humbug
The examination of our banks by tn,
Commissioner has always been yer,
superficial Had this not been tn
case, we have right to presume tina
the public would have been made &C
quaintcd with the condition of In
Mssisquoi Bank, at sheldon, long be
fore it was, and before SO large al
amount of the funds had been alb
stracted. Year after year, for mum
Der of years the condition of that ban
was examined, and as often were tn
people told by the Bank COMMISSIONS
that its standing was good So til
people believed and in this ignoranc
remained until the sudden disappear
ance of Mr.. Hubbell, the cashier, t
parts unknown. Another useless o.
fee, as it seems to us, is that of Raj
road Commissioner and we have yet t
learn that any good has resulted frol
it. We believe that also ought to |
abolished.
The other topics discussed in IL
message are all more or less importar
ana should receive, at the hands of OF
''solons" the attention they merit

The Elections.

The Democrats are very jubilant
over the result Of the recent elections
Let them jubilate, they certainly have
right to and We would not for one
moment deprive them of IT, Various
causes are assigned for the defeat OF
the Republicans in Pennsylvania and
their diminished majority in Ohio. but
