GREAT NATIONAL
LOANS.
NEW FIVE PER CENT. BONDS OF THE
UNITED STATES.

The Treasury Department is now able to
promise that the registered Certificates of
Stock, and good part of the Coupon Bonds
of the New Loan of the United States, bear
ing Five Per Cent. Interest, payable quarterly
in Gold, will be ready for delivery early in the
present month. The Subscriptions to the
Loan now amount to $62, 900, 900, and it is
expected that the Subscriptions and Sales will
progress more rapidly when the Certificates
and Bonds are ready for market abroad as
well as at home. The whole sum of Five
Per Gents offered to the public generally, and
to the holders of United States 5-20 Bonds,
without qualification, is 5000, 200, 900. When
this amount, to which preference is thus
given, is taken up, the remainder of the Five
Per Cents, $3OO,OOO,OOO, embraced in the
New Loan of July IA, 1870, for refunding the
Public Debt, will be offered in connection
with $500, 100000 Four and One-half Per
Cents, and any part of 800, 900 of Four
Per Gents, the one running fifteen years, and
the other thirty years.
The following is copy of the New Five
Per Cent. Bond, under and pursuant to the
New Loan Act of Congress-

REGISTERED BONDS

REGISTERED BONDS
$1OO, $500, $1,000, $4,000, and 10000, and
coupon bonds of each denomination except
the last two. The interest will be payable in
the United States at the Office of the Treasu-
rer, any Assistant Treasurer, or designated
depositary of the Government, quarterly on
the first days of February, May, August, and
November in each year.
THE INTEREST ON THE REGISTERED
STOCK
of this Loan, it is determined by the Trea-
sury Department, will be paid as conveniently
to the holder as on the Coupon Stock, and
personal attendance, or attendance by proxy
at the Treasury, to draw and receipt for the
Interest, will be dispensed with, aoheneoer tie
checks Of the United States Treasurer, mGiEed
punctuaHy to the address and order Of each
holder, on or before eoery quarter-day, IS pre-
.ferred to such attendance. This check, pay
able in Gold Coin at the Treasury in New
York (or such other Office as the Stock is
registered att, will be negotiable or collect
able on the Endorsement of the owner or
owners of the Stock. In pursuance of this
arrangement, the subscribers to, or pur-
chasers of, the Stock in its registered form
(Which is a complete protection against theft
or other losses incident to Coupon Bonds
payable to Bearer are advised to give their
Post Office address in full, and to notify of
any change in the address between quarter
days.
The whole proceeds of the new loan will
be applied to the payment or redemption and

bonds, and, in addition to these proceeds,
the 5-2Os are now being reduced by purchase
at the rate of $40, 900, 900 per month.
The entire effect, therefore, of the new
loan, in connection with the existing sinking
fund process of the Treasury, is to reduce
both principal and interest of the public debt
! of the United States The loan creates no
additional supply of Goyernment stocks, while
the application of the surplus revenues de-
rived in gold from customs is constantly les
sening, as it has been doing for two years
past, the funded stocks bearing six per cent
gold interest,
The 1st of May schedule of the public debt,
which has Just been published by the Secre-
tary of the Treasury, shows a reduction in
these Stocks since the April schedule of
$12,215, 700, and further lessening of the
yearly interest charge thereon of 1872, ,942.
This leaves the total yearly interest charge
in Gold $111, ,9S2, ,O34. In the same month
the Treasury paid and cancelled $2,47O,O 600
of the Three per Cent Currency debt, re-
ducing the whole of this debt bearing interest
to SOL, ,O23, 900, and the yearly interest charge
thereon to 81, 5S7, ,470.
The proposed further reduction of the an
nual interest charge upon the Public Debt by
