WASHINGTON, May 26.-The following
circular was issued this morning;
Holders Of called bonds, which mature |
before the lst of July next, are requested |
to send them to the department for pay
ment during the month of June. In this |
way holders of such bonds will receive |
payment for them, with interest to ma |
turity, before the bonds mature. The very |
large payments Of called bonds to be made |
In July will fully occupy the different Off |
ces of the department IN that month, and |
preference in the order Of liquidation will !
be given to the maturing bonds rather |
than the bonds past due, the holders of |
which have failed to present them for pay |
ment. Bonds forwarded for redemption |
should be addressed to the Loan Division
Of the secretary's Office, and sill registered
bonds should be assigned to the secretary
of the treasury for redemption. When
parties desire checks in payne Mt for reg
lstered bonds, drawn to the order of any
one but the payee, they should assign
them to the secretary OF the treasury ter
redemption on account of the owner or
owners, giving the name or names thereof,
as it is impossible to notify directly the
holders of such called bonds. The press
Of the country is respectfully requested to
give publicity to this notice that there may
be no delay IN the payment of bonds, and
| that an accumulation OF money IN the
| treasury be avoided.

| The report of the interview with the
| President regarding the negro exodus is
now said by the President friends 10 have
been erroneous in several particulars. For
instance, the interviewer desired to know
definitely whether the President approved
the proposition to go with chartered boats
and deliver the thousands on the banks OF
the river, and it was said last evening that
he replied he thought the step ought to be
taken as one Of Justice aud humanity. The
Presidents information, it now Bppe4rg
has not led him to suppose that there are
thousands Of coiored people on the banks
of the river waiting for trGnsp portation, anC
he did not advise chartering or sending
I steamboats, to carry them away. Mr.. Con
