o. NOT OFFICIAL.
The Secretary Of the TreNury states
that the letter printed upon the subject Of
the payment Of the bonds in gold and
signed II. F. French, Assistant Secretary,
is not to be regarded as the official action
OF the Treasury Department, as it was
intended only as an expression Of the in.
dtvidual views Of Mr.. French. The Sec.
retary has not taken nor will lie take any
action in the matter, rs 10 do 10 would
seem 10 preclude any action Congress
might determine to take on the subject
DISCONTINUED.
The issue Of 81 and 81 greenbacks was
discontinued at the Treasury in this city
mainly to induce the banks and indi-
viduals to take and put in circulation ell.
yer coin. Silver is now going out Of the
Treasury az fast ns million n month,
and the full greenbAck fund OF ten mil.
lions authorized BY law is so well assured
that the Treasurer will probably soon re.
sumo the shipment Of one and two dol.
lar greenbacks only in very moIer.
ate amounts. It's impossible, on account
OF the smalIness Of the appropriation for
transporting government funds, to supply
the Assistant Treasurers with notes for
exchange, and some Of the local inconyeu-
fences arising from the lack Of snalInotes
must be laid to the small amount appro-
priated. A notice has been posted At one
Of the windows on the counter in the cash
room of the Treasury here, as follows:
"The issue OF ones and twos is discon.
tinued."
1t is very wellunderstood here that the
notice applied only to that window, and
not to the whole country.
