THE penalty for accepting an unstamp-
ed check is precisely the same as for issu-
ing il, viz, $50. The law declares that
any person who shall make, sign or issue
or accept, negotiate or pay an unstamped
check, shall be liable. If a person has
sent to him an unstamped check he must
return II, or stamp it before he accepts it,
otherwise he violates the law. 1t is thus
seen that the receiver of an unstamped
check is justa as liable for the penalty and

One of the most dangerous countcrfeits
of the national bank notes that has ever
appeared is Just out. 1t is on the Traders
national bank of Chicago, and is 20 well
calculated to deceive that the treasury de-
partment offers one-half per cent. premium
for the return Of the genuine five dollar
notes Of that; bank to the department for
destruction. The notes should be strap
ped separately, and may be included in
packages Of national bank notes returned
to the treasury for redemption, and may be
returned at the expense OF the department.
All genuine five dollar notes of this bank
should hereafter be refused, and notes of
that denomination thus driven out of cir
culation. No more of these notes will be
issued hereafter by the comptroller OF cur
rency to that bank. The attention ofbanl
officers is especially called to the necessity
Of promptly retiring these notes which
will entirely prevent the circulation Of
cOuntcrleiters.
