WASHINGTON, August 8, 1874.
Why tho Treasury Calls In Few
Bonds at Time-Extensive Counter
feiting In Europe, Requiring Careful
Scrutiny.
The reason why the Secretary of the Treasury
limited the call for 1ve-twenty bonds to twenty
i've millions has been variousiy stated. The
Treasury officials have uniformly said that 1t was
impossible for the Department to handle at one
time more than that amount. This reason has
been generally accepted until to-day. when 1t was
ascertaned that not only the call OF the 1st inst
but the subsequent calls are likely to bring
in well executed counterfeit 6ve-twenty bonds
known 10 have been extensively sold in Europe
the coupons OF which have repeatedly vexed the
United States Treasury, and in one instance re.
quiring that the counterfeit coupon should be
photographed and copy sent to all the sub-treas-
uries and national banks. In addition, circular
carefully prepared by Treasurer Spinner was sent
to every newspaper in the United States and Cam
ada fully describing the bogus coupons. The
Treasury Department officials are therefore So
iicitous to prevent any OF the counterielts
passing the experts, and in order to do this verify
the number OF the bonds, examine the coupons
already paid OF each particular number and de-
nomination, 1t will require much time, and 1t IS
doubtful whether the experienced force Will really
be able to dispose or the bonds under the first
call as rapidly as the business interests OF the
syndicate, 1t Is anticipated, will require. In
answer to the question why so much pains was
not taken with previous calls, your correspondent
was informed that 1t was because the department
had no knowledge OF counterfeit, or rather a
duplicate issue, until after the five-twenties had
run into series. Now the calls were reaching Into
the later series, and it was absolutely necessary
the department should be on the alert. The eX-
perience OF the Treasury officials with the spurious
seven-thirties will not be lost in the scrutiny
which the called bonds, due next month under the
call Of June 2 and 3, and those due on the 1st oil
November are to receive.
