BEWARE OF DALEY & co.


We gave this caution to our readers fortnight
since, and intended to fully expose these uncon-
scionabe villains in our last ISSUE but other mat
ters claimed immediate attention, and crowded out
the circular which has been received by several OF
our citizens. There is no doubt that DALEY u 20.
have secured an accomplce in this vicinity, as we
are confident that well executed counterfeit SlO
has been shown us. Accompanying the circular
is printed slip, embracing the following dis
patch:
WAsn1yoToN, Aug. 2.-Trcasurer Spinner and
several Treasury experts to-day examined ten
dollar counterfeit greenback sent here by an un-
known person from New York, which was pro-
nounced the best executed counterfeit that ever
came under their notice; indeed there was some
difference of opinion as to its being counterfeit,
even after its surface had been closely scanned by
powerful microscope. The counterfeit is more
dimly printed than the genuine, giving it the ap-
pearance of one of the last impressions of large
number, but in all other respects it is difficult to
distinguish it from good note, with which the
comparison was made Mr. Spinner pronounced
it spurious, and that decision settled its status
Of course, if this means anything, DALEY &
Co. sent the aforesaid counterfeit and desire to
impress their dupes with the idea that even the
head of the United States Treasury came near
being deceived with their worthless paper. With
this explanation, we copy their circular entire,
and again repeat our caution against dealing with
such dangerous individuals. Doubtless they will
do what they say, fo- their scheme is entirely diff
fercnt from that of MOVES & Co., who only send
Photographic views of genuine Treasury notes, but
these scoundrels are actually vending counterfeit
money. Here is the circular:

have on hand about S350,000 in 81, 81, S5, $40,
