at their full face value in new notes
or currency, by the Treasurer, the
several Assistant Treasurers, and des-
grated depositaries, and will be re-
ceived at their full face value by all
officers of the Treasury Department
in payment of currency dues to the
United States: Provided, that three
ffths of the original proportions OF
