NoTEs.-The Secretary of the Treasury in a recent
letter to General Spinner says holders of compound
interest notes have no ght to claim payment thereof
at maturity at any other place than the treasury of the
United States at Washington but in the exercise of
liberal discretion, he has authorised the Assistant
Treasures at Boston, New York and PHILADELPHIA to
pay these notes when presented at their respective
Offices In doing this the Secretary has done as much
for the accommodation of holders the interest of the
Government and convenience Of the Department will
permit. The national deposit bank cannot be author
sed TO redeem compounds and charge to your account
Mir. Spinner has issued the following rules for pre-
sentation ct notes to the treasury for redemption.

be prepaid by the party remittng them.
Third-Schedules of notes should be prepared and

Fourth-As safeguard to holders it is suggested
that these notes may be Cancelled before forwarding
them, by punching out both signatures, care being
taken to leave the date and numbers untouched
Fifth-Paymcnt for these notes will be made BY

delphia Boston, San Francisco and New Orleans, or

"MENDICANT LoyALIsTs" Go Sbow-The Chicago
Tribune, Of the ablest of the Radical papers, thus
advises the white upstairs who are cnging to the
necks Of the newly enfranchscd Of the South There
is good deal more truth than poetry in the Tribunc
remarks:
What the country wants is, not that there should
be Atrlcanised, nor pure white, nor Republican, nor
Democratic State governments in the rebel States but
governments rejecting the popular will and securing
to all freemen without distinction of race or color an
equality of civil and political liberty. They are not
to be aVcngns tribunals, nor proscriptivc establish
ments; they are not to punish or degrade man be-
cause he is black, nor because he is white They are
to be governments that are just and founded upon
principles OF republican liberty, guaranteed and
protected by the national Constitution. When they
depart from these plain and intelligent propositions
to reach after extremes that heretical in theory
and diabolical in practice they become hostile to the
well-grounded philosophy of our Governments and be-
come volative OF the principles of the Republican
party. we repeat the warning to our Republican
friends IN all parts Oh the country that the greatest
danger to the success of reconstruction in the rebel
States is to be apprehended from the extravapance
and demagogsm OF the white upstairs who are tasten
ing themselves upon the necks of the negro popula-
ton, and will ride them to destruction if not over
thrown Ii the party at the South is to be controlled
and directed by these men, we cannot hope for the CO.
operation OF the more intelligent and patriotic whites
The negroes are honest and sincerely wish to do
r1sht-lt let alone they will do so; and the Repub
can party is not acting justly toward them nor wisely
toward the country, by leaving them exposed to the
schemes and dishonesty of creatures who hone bv their
votes to rise from obsoury which, for the sake of
the country, ought to be perpetual
