THE ISSUING OF FOUR AND HALF PER CENT
DoSDs-AN IMPORTANT LEGAL QUESTION IN
voLvED-FoIEIGN DEMAND FOR BoNps-IHE
RoTHscHILDs AND THE NEW LOAN
Tho question having been raised whether the Secrc-
tary of tho Treasury authorized by law to issue
the four and half per cent bonds be authori.
tavely stated that tho department. lcng since settled
1t for itself finally The point has been that the
las OF January 20 1871 gave authority for the ISSUE OF
tive per cents only, out is maintained that this
rc-cnactod the act OF July H. 1870, and Is
simply amcndatory %r that part OF il which
authorizes tho issue OF $500 900 900 ve per cent
The amendaory act January 20, 1871 increased them
TO 5000, OO0 000 and has been take the
$500 oO0O 900 additional, covered by from the
OF four per cents provided by that law also leaving
s1ooOoo 900 OF four per cents still TO be issued in tho
discretion Of the Secretary of Treasury and the
four and half per cents just they WERE II IS ar
gued by those who differ with the View akcn by the
Treasury officials that tho Revised Statutes have
clause repeating all acts parts Of acts relative to
the national loan, except those pertaining
TO the five per prov for in tho act Janu
airy 20 ISL But it contcndci that the re-cnacting
clasc leaves the provisions OF that exactly they
were relative 10 the four aud half per cent bonds,
exceed the amount originally authorized and author
ICES the interest OF these bonds be paid quar-
tcry. In order TO set the whole question at rest 1t
has been referred to-day to tho First Comptroller as
the legal accounting officer OF the Treasury for his
opinion, and his decision will be prepared In
scticmcntot the controversy. Tho whole matter IS
gardcd as an absurdity so far the legal wiseacrcs
are concerned The rapidly increasing popularity and
demands for business purposes and investment which
have marked the incipenl OF the four and half
per cent loan still continue besides tho aggregate call

amount OF $40, coo Ooo covered by tho Official call
OF the Treasury Department. 1t is stated, have been
negotiated by MIR. Belmont II will be remembered
that Secretary Morrill, has not manifested any great
anxiety to dispose OF all the four and half per cent
loan, but may try his hand he says at the four
