Strange Revelations Relative to tho Coun.
serfeit Bouds-Further Points Of Difference
Betwcen Them md the GenMiue.
An Individual whose relation to the Printing Division
Of the Treasury Department for long time past has
been such en.itle his full belief said
to-day that he had been pursuing certain mysterious
clues that had to his Treasury. and
had excited his suspicion that something gong
forward that would not bear public inspection. This
person states that he Is satisfied that tho plates OF the
counterfct one thousand dollar bonds executed
In the Department ITSELF According 10 his explanation
pressons lead taken from the original plates
Of the and series, and from these impressions
the plates sravsd in secret within the
Department The fact that The plates engraved
from Impressions taken from the originals, he says,
accounts for the aht inaccuracies OF the corteries
In making these disclosures the Superintendent Of the
Traax fxvtfh
any completely the matter as It is alleged, that the
engraving was executed without his knowledge. 1t is
only stated that superintendent together other
prominent officers Of the Department have discovered
all the facts In the case, and are endeavoripg To
keep them from tho public. I cannot atso-
lutely vouch FOR tho truth OF the FORGING
charges. but they come through channel so appar.
entity trustworthy that deem ii my duty give them
TO the pubic.
There many points OF difference the counterfeit
notes which Mr. g Clark Chief Of Printing Bureau
did deem necessary TO include his report TO the
secretary Of the Treasury, there being so many of
thcm OF which, in addition to the others heretofore
mentioned, may be OF service in detecting tho false
ISSUE In the counterfeit notes the lines forming
right shoulder Of the female the central vighette do
not come up tho sword. but leave q white space.
In tho genuine note the lines only
Gus lbut they come clearly and distinctly up to the
sword So far discovered the Treasury Department
has had presented TO IL only about seventy thousand
dollars worth ot the spurious notes.
