WASHINGTON.
Financial.

Washington, 2. The following is de-
scription of the differences between the gen.
uine and counterfeit $500 legal tender note of
the issue of 1869;
The upright that holds the balance of the
scales held in the right hand of the female
figure shows white line in the counterfeit
on the lower part of the palm of the hands to
the second finger. In the genuine note the
upright is quite black and lost in the shadow.
The lower part of the right lapel of the coat
n the portrait of Adams in the counterfeit
forms an angle. In the genuine it is dis
finct curved line. Also the buttons in the
counterfeit are irregular in shape, while in
the genuine they are decidedly round and
dark in color. Particular attention is called
to the button of the left side of the coat in the
counterfeit in the word "Washington." In
the counterfeit note the black shade forming
the first stroke of the letter "W." forms an
angle at the bottom. In the genuine note it
forms curve. In the ruled shadowing under
the right hand stroke of the letter ''W" and
over the letters "a" and 'S." there are four
ruled lines in the counterfeit. There are but
three in the genuine note, the letters A. and
S. In the word ''Washington," in the coun-
terfet are five ruled lines, while in the genu-
inc there are but four. Also under the letter
II in the same word there are four ruled lines
in the counterfeit and in the genuine there are
but three. At the bottom of the letter +. in
the denomination title are five ruled lines in
the counterfeit, and the genuine there are six
lines. The localized fiber on the left of the
portrait is blue in the genuine, but without
color in the counterfeit. Tie red seal in the
genuine is printed in delicate carmine color,
while in the counterfeit it is more of a brick
color, and has heavy appearance, more es-
pecially the raise which form the outside of
the seal. Attention is called to the blurred
and scratchy appearance of the lathe work
and lettering on the back of the counterfeit,
which upon comparison with the genuine will
be readily perceived.

Oil Upon tic Troubled Waters.

Your readers were favored this morning
with another article on 'the Donohoe case"
signed by one of our most highly esteemed
citizens While we have full confidence in
his integrity Of purpose, we must beg to differ
from him in the wisdom displayed as well as
the ground taken in the article alluded too.
The Hon. Gentleman says in his unsoltct-
ted "T'O rhom ii may conceyn," that lie "did
not hear a word of evidence showing Mr..
Donohoe to have been dishonest in one of his
transactions since coming into the State, but
on the contrary the proof was conclusive that
| he has tried to protect his creditors in every
way in his power, even to the giving up of
the last dollar in his possession"
| We believe it to be in evidence that Mr.
Donohoe, as early as February last, knew Of
his insolvency; yet he continued to contract
debts, knowing that he could never liquidate
them. He continued to employ the labor Of
his factory hands paying them only in prom
ises, as the poverty of many man and wo-
man in our city to day fully attests. De-
pendent as they were upon the labor of their
hands, the loss of its equivalent was to them
the loss of the very necessaries of life, and
there are in this community to-day those per-
sons who are forced to deny themselves, not
Injuries, but necessities, because they are the
unfortunate victims Of such protection as the
honorable gentleman endorses. These and
sundry other acts, among which is the con
veying of property, which was already out of
his possession, the refusal to deliver property
legally conveyed, are serious obstacles to
us in arriving at the conclusion which our
friend seems to have reached.
Yet SIR. Donohoe maintains the same ex-
travagant style of living as before. He finds
money to buy off certain creditors whose
position or influence he fears may be an
impeachment in his future plans, and others
who threaten a resort to law he quiets with
promises of payment in full, as in his own
words he says "my wife has got some money
and will come down and pay you" yet these
poor men and women with not dollar in the
world, who have lost their all, get nothing.
While there are many in the community
who are willing to grant to Mr.. Donohoe
his troubles, yet we think the number very
small who can endorse the Hon. gentleman's
words and say Mr.. Donohoe has done all in
his power to protect his creditors, or has even
kept within the bounds of what the higher law
by which every man must be judged, has laid
down as honesty. Let each one take the
facts in this case as they exist, and laying
aside all prejudice, exercising such spirit of
charity as we would have extended to our
selves decide for themselves.
Any resort to low personalities, degrading
insinuations or war of words, would only re-
suit in bitterness and enmity between those
who should be friends.
