The Comptroller does no! believe that
any considerable amount Of counterfeit
money is now in circulation, and says
that little complaint is made by the banks
and the public. Business men, who have
Travelled extensively in the South
Elm and Southwestern Staes, are Of
p ciif rent opinion, and say that in Dis
tricts remote from banks and large towns,
and spec ally among the negroes, the
amount of counterfeit currency afloa; is
very grea', much of it being so roughly
executed that it would be q! ouce detect
ed if offered in the North.

print al notes, stamps and bonds Of the
Government in the re4sury at Wishing
