Subscriptions to these Bonds are"re- ceived in United States notes or notes of National Banks. They are TO BE-REDEEMED IN COIN, at the pieasure of the Government, at any period mot less than ten nor more than forty years from their date, and until their redemption FIVE PER CENT. INTEREST WILL BE PAID IN COIN, on Bonds of not over ene hundred dollars annually and on allother Bonds semi annually. The in- terest is payable on the firstdays of March and September in each year. Subscribers will receive Coupon Bonds, as they may prefer. either Registered or Registered Bonds are recorded on the Books of the United | States Treasurer, and can be transferred only on the owner’s order, Coupon Bonds-are payable to bearer, and are more convenient for Commercial mses. Subscribers to this loan will have the option of | having their Bonds draw interest from March Ist, by paying the accrued interest in coin—(or in Uni- ted States notes, or the notes of National Banks, | adding Gfty pe# cent. for premium,) or receive them drawing interest from the date of subserip- | tion and deposit. As these Bonds are EXEMPT FROM MUNICIPAL OR STATE TAXATION, their value is increased from one to three per Bo. | | | Buttes tot mean | produce, to, tbe 7 MINERAL PLATE will Booms in this neliy=No 338 Pennsylvania avenue ; from the angles noticed in all other colla: | treatm strict of Orders Bamsohusetio pees S a Let ee and obeyed Washigton.

They can be sonversted into money at any moment, and the | holder will have the benefit of the interest. It may be useful to state in this connection that the total Funded Debt of the United States on which interest is payable in gold,on the 31 day of March, 1354, was $763 965,000. The interest om this debt for the coming fiscal year will be $45,997 125, while the customs revenue in gold for the current Hiseal year, ending Jnne 30th, 1354, has been so far at the rate of over $100,000,000 per annum. } It will be seen that even the present gold reve- nues of the Government are largely in excess of | the wants of the Treasury for the payment of gold interest, while the recent increase of the tariff will doubtless raise the annual receipts from cus- toms on the same amount of importations, to | ‘$150,000.00 per annum, | Instructions to the National Banks acting as | loan agents were not issued until March 2%, but the amount of Bonds reported suld at the U, 8, Treasury up to May 7, was $44,616,106.
