WASHINGTON, August S.-Gen. Spinner
has addressed the following letter TO the
cashier OF the New England Bank: l.
TREASURY OF THE UNITED STATES, !
WASHINGTON, August 8. {
9ir:-Your letter Of the 1st inst. was
received yesterday by Adams Express
Company. There came enclosed, as there
in stated, two United States legal tender
notes, one of the denomination of five
hundred dollars and the other one hun
dred dollars. Both Of these notes arc en-.
tirely new, having never even been fold
ed, and are perfectly clear, being without
spot or speck. For some bad pur-
pose, probably. q fraudulent one. with
q view to tho raising OF other United
States notes Of smaller denominations 10
the value Of these, more than one.tenth
Of each has been scissored out with clear
cut. Under the old regulations 0t the
Treasury Department that existed for
more than ten years, these two notes
could have been redeemed for only nine
tenths Of their face value Sixty dol.
lars would, under the old rules, have
been deducted for mutilations. These
rules, unfortunately for the Government,
have been lately modified so that this PEN
atty cannot be enforced under this more
than generous modification. You will
have returned to you now United States
notes OF q like denomination under gov
eminent contract at the expense Of the
United States. The charge to the gov
eminent by the Express Company for
their transportation both ways would be
81 25. FoE the dog days consider this
request decidedly cool. First, you or your
clerk will further mutilate notes and then
you ask tho government not only to re.
place them with other new unmutilated
notes to be in their turn, for l aught /
know, mutilated and returned with like
request for other new notes, but opay the
expense and run the risk oftrsnsportation
both ways. This Is piling it on. You not
only burn with hot iron; but you
ask the burned one to pay for the poker.
Ifyou will turn to the 9th section Of the
National Banking law, you will find that
II any person had treated two Of your
bank notes In the way these two United
States notes have been, you could recover
by action in any, court, $50 for each Of the
mutilatIons. Now, whatever is sauce for
tho goose Ia sauce for the gander also.
Now ought not the perpetrators OF
these deeds be made to respond In
like manner Under these circumstances
1t has been concluded that the notes shall
be retained at any rate until the pieces
that were cut out Of them shall be return.
ed 10 this Office, and until the apparent
fraudulent or malicious mutilAtlon shall
have been satisfactorily explained to the
Department Very respectfully yours,
