A GEEENBACK NOTE PREsENTEp FOR PAY
MINT IN sPfcIE-PAYMENr DECLINED
EXCEPT IN CURRENCY AND THE NOTE
FORMALLY PROTEsTED.
Mr.. Wallace z. Groom, president OF the New
York Mercantile Journal company, yesterday
presented to General F. f. Spinner, Treasurer
of the United States, n legal-tender note for
$780, (No. 5s944, dated March 10. 1867, y which
he had previously presented to the Assistant
Treasurer at New York, and demanded its pay
ment in specie. General Spinner replied that
had no authority TO comply with this demand
Mr. Groom presented the note t. the Secretary
of the Treasury and repeated his demand
Judge Richardson replied that he would be
happy to pay specie for it if lie had on hand
enough to liquidate every like claim that might
be presented, Mr.. Groom said he dill not claim
anv better treatment than other holders of the
governments notes received. He would accept
in place of specie anything that the collector
of customs at New York would receive in pay
ment Of duties, or an Understanding bond. as
specified on the back OF the note; and he would
not insist on receiving one bearing six per cent.
interest, but would be satisfied with AS low a
rate as 3-65. Secretary Richardson stated that
he was not prepared TO accept the proposition.
THIS morning Mr.. Groom instructed Mr..
Nicholas Callan, notary, to present the note
again to Treasurer Spinner and Secretary Rich
adson. Mr.. Callan did so, and. specie pay
ment be ing again refused, he (by Dir. Groom's
direction,) protested the note in due form.
The note presented is one of the first legal ten
uSis issueu oy the government, ana bears the
legend on the back, HReceiyable for ali dues of
the United States, and are convertible into the
6per cent. stock of the United States" Some
eight or nine years ago Congress repealed the
law on which this legend was based, and it has
recently been the desire of the government to
recall them. On LIST July last there were S123,-
900 GOO of these notes in crc ulaton and but few
have been received since. Gen. Spinner says
that had 1t been legal demand note of 1S62. OF
which there were in July last only SSS,O0O i'm
circulation, he would have redeemed it in gold
since these notes are receivable the same az
gold i'm payment of customs.
Mr.. Groom will speak tonight at Masonic
Temple, ON Currency Legislation when the
views that led to this act Will be set forth. We
understand that his principal aim is to impress
on Congress and the public the Importance of
two points which the journals published by the
corporation over which he presides have urged:
the illegality and impropriety of buying live
twenties at premium with grcenbacks, and the
need for currency interchangeable cat hold

that the race shall take place on or about the
date which may be selected for the annual coll
leee regetta In July, as John is engaged TO train
the dartmouth college crew, who are to parti-
clrate In thatrace, consequently he will not be
able TO row before that time. Should Brown not
accept John Bilgin will row Ellis Ward or an
OTHER man III this country a five or six mile race
who may be DESTROYS of claiming the champion
snip OF America. 1T is thought that Brown will
accept Biglin's proposition, for even if Sadler
