GREAT NATIONAL LOANS. NEW FIVE PER CENT. BONDS OF TILE UNITED STATES. The Treasnrj Department ia now able to promise that the registered Certificates of Stock, and a good part of the Coupon Bonds of the New Loan of the United States, bear ing Five Per Cent. Interest, payable quarterly in Gold, will be ready for delivery early in the present month. The Subscriptions to the Loan now amount to $02,000,000, and it is expected that the Subscriptions and Sales will progress more rapidly when the Certificates and Bonds are ready for market abroad as well aa at home. The whole Bum of Five Per Cents offered to the public generally, and to the hoWers of United States 5-20 Bonds, without qualification, is $200,000,000. When this amount, to which preference is thus given, is taken np, the remainder of the Five Per Cents, $300,000,000, embraced in the New Loan of July 14, 1870, for refunding the Public Debt, will be offered in connection with $300,000,000 Four and One-half Per Cents, and any part of $700,000,000 of Four Per Cents, the one running fifteen years, and the other thirty years. The following is a copy of the New Five Per Cent. Bond, under and pursuant to the New Loan Act of Congress: K0BM OF 5 PER CENT. BOND. INTEREST FUNDED LOAN OF 1881 5 per cent. UNITED 8TATE3 OF AMERICA ARE INDEBTED TO THE BEAKER IN THE SUM OF DOLLARS. TIIIS BOND Is Issued In accordance with the pro visions of an Act or Congress entitled "An Act to authorize the refunding of the National Debt," ap proved July 14, 1870, amended by au Act approved January 80, 1871, and la redeemable at the pleasure of the United States, after the first day of May, A. D. 1881, In Coin of the staudard value of the United States on said July 14, 1870, with interest In such Coin, from the day of the date hereof, at the rate of FiVE PER CENTUM per annum, ptyab e quarterly, on the first day of February, May. August, and No vember, In each year. The principal an 4 Interest are exempt from the payment of all Taxes or Duties of the United States, as well as from taxation In any form, by or under State, municipal, or local autho rity. WAHUINUTUN, ,13..., Entered Recorded Register of the Treasury. EEGISTERED BONDS will be issued of the denominations of $50, $100, $500, $1000, $5000, and $10,000, and coupon bonds of each denomination except the last two. The interest will be payable in the United States at the office of the Treasu rer, any Assistant Treasurer, or designated depositary of the Government, quarterly, on the first days of February, May, August, and November in each year. TIIE INTEREST ON THE REGISTERED STOCK of this Loan, it is determined by the Trea sury Department, will be paid as conveniently to the holder as on the Coupon Stock, ami personal attendance, or attendance by proxy at the Treasury, to draw and reoeipt for the Interest, will be dispensed with, whenever the check of the United States Treasurer, mailed punctually to the address and order of each Judder, on or before every quarter-day, is pre ferred to such attendance. This check, pay able in Gold Coin at the Treasury in New York (or such other office aa the Stook is registered atj, will be negotiable or collect able on the indorsement of the owner or owners of the Stock. In pursuance of this arrangement, the subscribers to, or pur chasers of, the Stook in its registered form (which is a complete protection against theft or other losses inoident to Coupon Bonds payable to Bearer) are advised to give their Post Office address in full, and to notify of any change in the address between quarter days. The whole proceeds of the new loan will be applied to the payment or redemption and cancellation of the 5-20 years six per cent, bonds, and, in addition to these prjoeeds, the 5-20s are now being reduced by purchase at the rate of $10,000,000 per month. The entire effect, therefore, of the new loan, in connection with the existing sinking fund process of the Treasury, is to reduce both principal and interest of the publio debt of the United States. The loan creates no additional bupply of Government stocks, while the application of the surplus revenues de rived in gold from customs is constantly les selling, as it has been doing for two years past, the funded stocks bearing six per cent, gold intert-Rt. The 1st of May sohedule of the publio debt, wbich has just been published by the Secre tary of the Treasury, shows a reduotioa in these Stocks ainoe the April sohedule of $12,215,700, and a further lessening of the yearly interest charge thereon of $732,912. This leaves the total yearly interest charge in Gold $111,982,034. In the name month the Treasury paid and cancelled $2,470,000 of the Three per Cent. Currenoy debt, re ducing the whole of this debt bearing interest to $51,023,000, and the yearly interest oharge thereon to $1,537,470. The proposed further reduction of the an nual interest charge upon the Publio Debt by refundmg is as follows: Bv exchange of 500 000,000 United Ktaieg Bti per ceuts. lor new Ave per ceiita of 188i !i.000,000 By exchaut?e of ;mh,000,000 Uuitd Btai-t fix per cpuU for lour aud a half per RUta of 1868 4,600,000 Bv exchange of f'.UO.ono.onu UnlUtd State aU pir crbtg for four per ceuU Of Wi 14,000,000 Total saving per annum by refuudinv.f i3, 500,000 The large and rapid accumulation la the FINANOIAL. last few years of private capital now retired from active business, and of the cash Savings and Life Insurance premiums deposited with or intrusted to the provident institutions of the country all seeking the most undoubted security, pledged to be kept free of all taxes, Tinder national or local authority, and eon tent, provided this object be assured, with moderate rates of interest will no doubt ultimately absorb bo much of these New Stocks as may not be taken in voluntary conversion of United States 5-20s, or mar keted abroad.
