A Cool Reauest and a WARM nenlx,

General Spinner has addressed letter to the
cashier Of New England bank. who for
warded two notes, one of the denomination of
$500 and one of 500, for redemption, entirely
new, having never been folded, without spot or
speck, with one tenth of each note scissored out
with a clean cut. The General SAYS: Under the
old regulation of the Treasury, these two notes
could have been redeemed for only nine-tenths
of their face. These rules, unfortunately for
the government, have been lately modified, so
the penalty cannot be enforced. Under this
more than generous odifcation you claim to
have returned to you new United States notes
OF like determinations, under government con-
tract, at the expense of the United States. The
charge to the government by the express com
pany for their transportation both ways would
he one dollar and twenty cents. For dog days,
| consider the request decidedly cool.
First, you or your client wilfully
you ask the government not only to replace
them, but to pay the expense and run the risk
of their transportation both ways This to nv
mind is piling it on pretty steep. You not only
burn with a hot iron, but you ask the burned
one to pay for heating the poker. If you will
turn to the S5th section of the national banking
law, you will find that if any person had treated
two United States notes have been, you could
recover by action, in any court having jurisdic-
ton, fifty dollars for each of the mutilations
Now what Is sauce for the goose should be
sauce for the gander. Ought not the perpetra-
tors of these mutilations be made to respond in
like manner. Under these circumstances it has
been concluded that the notes be retained at
them be returned to the office, and until the
apparent fraudulent or malicious mutilation
shall have been satisfactorily explained to the
department.
