In my' report for ISO 1 mentioned that
notes for issue to, national 'banks had been
purloined from this OM& ' The gitilty party
was tried in August last and convicted. He is
now awaiting his trial on new indictments.
Ordy,about $1,400 of • the stolen notes have
been recovered, and it is a serious question
whether provision should not be made for the
payment of these stolen notes when found in
the hands of innocent holders.
.
Under the act of Congress of March 3. 1869,
three - reports have been called for. The first
call was made Tuesday, April 20, for a report
showing the 'condition of the banks at the
close of business on the previous saturday,
April
The second call was made June 15 for a re
port showing the condition of the bank on
Saturday, the 12th of June. • ,
: The third call was made October 13 for a
report showing the condition of the banks on
the 9th of that month.
The first report showed a larger number of
banks than usual deficient in their reserve of
lawful Money, but generally in swill amounts.
The second and third reports successividy ex
hibited an improrenient in this respect, and the
results are far more valuable and gratifying.
The two evils most complained of under the
for - frier reports, to wit, previous pri.paration on
the part of the banks and the i,t!u af
forfed to spenlators to ntuipula:e the money
market, have been almos*. entirely done sway
with. The 13 anks habitually keep themselves
in better condition; as a are less extended,
atd La a IfiOre complete control of. their af
t:kin:. •
At, the law stands a bank may, by a
vcer.ftht , s.ll?zeholdf_.:-4 owniug two-thinli of
kr, go iLtri. Minidation and close up its
Ba; - ,izs ;;:o into liquidation, and call upon
morAeiciaikr , _, to present their notes for redernp
ticL. by published notice, as required by law ;
but, (ill riTlg the whole year that follows, are
rr.l 61. , ngfrti to redeem anything except now
and :hen a worn-out or defaced note. This
fatili:y of circulation, and the absence of all
cost of . redemption, have probably induced
some athociations to take the legal steps for
going into liquidation, with the expectation of
continuing to reap the benefit (if their °instal id
ing circulation, while they continue to do a
banking business under State laws, or as pr!-.
vale bankers.
The interference of Congress is necessary
to prevent bank privileges from being abased,
and to protect those banks which are in good
faith endeavoring to comply with all the ,re
quiretnents of the law.
It. is respectfully recommended that Con
gress should pass- an act requiring all banks
that go in liquidation to deposit legal-tender
notes for (her outstanding circulation, and
take up their bonds deposited with the Trea
surer of the United States as Security for such
circulation, within sixty days from the date of
the vote of the shareholders to go into liquida-
It is recommended that all taxes imposed on
national banks by the United States be made
returnable and payable to the Treasurer of the
United States, in the same manner that the
larger portion of them now are.
The liability of national banks to examina
tion without previous notice, by an agent ap
pointed for that purpose, was unpopular among
She banks when the law first went into effect,
but good results have fully vindicated the wis
dom of the provision. Examinations have
bought facts to light that have enabled the
Comptroller to interpose in time to save banks
from failure.
The compensation allowed by iaw is totally
insufficient to pay the tight kind of men to un
•dertake this duty. In New York, Bilston and
Philadelphia° the banks have acknowledged the
value of examinations, by making voluntary
provision commensurate with the importance of
the work. An increase of the rate of compen 7
sat ion should be authorized by law, awl, provi
sion made for the assessment upon the several
banks examined.
I would recotomend that the Deputy Comp
troller, slthuld be paid' a salary of $3 ; 500; the
Lead of each division $`2,400; • two correspon
dents r4,2.oo!each, and two book-keeperss2,ooo
+each.
The recommendation in my last annual re
port, looking to the establishment of an agency
in the citvlof New York, in the interests of the
national banks, owned and controlled by them,
for the redemption of all their issues and for
the transaction of all their business, is again
submitted to the consideration of Congress.
Careful observation and study , have con
firmed the opinion then expressed as to the
practical:PUY and nsefulness of such an insti
tution. ' • „

not, hoWever, authorized to hire deposits, and
the law doeS not contemplate that they should
solicit loans, under the guise of deposits, by •
the 'effort° paylntereston diem. ' The &II of
the practice is this : ,Allthe banks in the lead-'
ing cities, and nearly all the' country banks,
keep balances in New. York, - which by law, con..
stitute a portion of their reserve. The offer
interest on these balances is an inducement to
keep as large a portion of their reserve on de
posit in New York as the. law will alleoa Banks
are permitteil to keep' onelhalf their reServe in,
New York, and all other banks are .'permittfd
to keep three-fifths, of their reserve there:
- It; then,.Ncw York banks. pay Interest on
these deposits, they inest, of course, use them;
and, as they are payable on demand, they must
be loaned on call. leans, as a rule, are
made to brokers and operators in stocks and
gold. The fortifications are; perhaps, the best
possible; but if there were no weak points,
there would be no danger to guard against.
The most objectionable feature of the whale•
transaction lies in the fact that the facility with.
Which large loans can be effected, payable on
call at low rates of interest, while commercial
paper is only done at high rates, or is declined
altogether, fosters speculation. Call loans are
a necessity when interest is paid on deposits.
Competition for the accounts of country banks
has led to the payment of interest. The New
York banks see and deprecate the evils of the
practice. The fact that the reserves of the
country are hawked on the street, and are
tendered and used for speculation, is sufficient
ground for an interference of the
A bank that has, its capital invested in in
terest-bearing securities, upon deposit of which
it obtains an issue of circulating notes, which
notes are to be used in its banking operations
as money, can afford to lend its money at lower
rates of interest than a bank that issues no
notes for circulation, but lends its capital di
rectly to its customers. The bank with circu
lation derives a portion of,. its profit from the
interest on its securities and a portion - from its
customers, while the bank without, cireulatiOn
derives all its profits from its customers. The
delegation by the government to banking asso
ciations of the power to issue notes to circulate
as money, therefore has a tendency to lower
the rate of interest, and so to. furnish cheap
money to the business community._
If all the banks were deprived of their cir
culation during the emir* year, by an act, of
Congresb, the rates at which money could be
borrowed in most sections of the country ,
would be nearly doubled. The assumption by
the government of the sole power to issue cir
culating notes would in no wise furnish relief.
The United States can get its notes intO circu
lation by paying them out for its expenses' ,and
in payment of its debts. Not being able expenses;
do
a banking business, however, it. cannot lend
them as a bank can, but would have to pay
them out to its creditors, and, in the end, the
notes would conui -- iiit° the bands of capitalists,
who world lend them to the people at, high
rates of interest.

Taking the county as a whole, government
and people as one, the' profit gained by the
government on thei issue of its notes would
not compensate for the additional tax upon
the business of the eountry, ,caused by the
advance in the rates of interest which would
be likely to follow such a change in the circu
lation.
The amount loaned by the national banks to
the business interests of the country will aver
age about tie% ell hundred millions and for
every addition of one per cent. to the rate of
interest., a tax of not loss than seven millions
would be imposed on the
,business of the
country.. M a general thing national banks
lend money to their customers at about the
legal rates; though, acorn-se, there are excep
tional vases.
The tax upon banks is merely the addition
of scmetbing to the rate of interest. Within a
certain limit the tax is proper and legitimate.
But in many sections the local taxation is so
high as, when added to the United :States
taxes, to absorb a large proportion of the pro-
fits of the banks. Some banks in this predica
ment have closed up their affairs. Others
Lave resorted to usury to increase their profits.
The average dividends made by the banks
.during the last year will probably not exceed
ten per cent. upon their capital, after deduct
ing taxes and expens6s.. And as the premium
on gold still diminishes, and the • national
banking system shall be made free to all who
are able and choose• to comply with the con
ditions, the average prolit will C onform to the
law which governS all business. It will be a
fair living profit, and I'm more.
The curiency 'constitutes a very important
part of the financial system of our country.
There are two requisites to a sound currency;
conveitibility and elasticity. and either of the
two involves the other. The present currency
of the United States possesses; neither of these
requisites. During, the past year it has neither
increased nor diminished, but, stands about as
it did this last year—M . o,ol)o,ooo issued
by the Government-and $100,000,000 issued by
the bulks, neither itideernable nor convertible
into anything more valuable, and therefore not
susceptible of reduction by any ordinary pro
cess, each issued to the full limit allowed by
law, with no power of expansion. The. whole
amount must be employed, whether it is
.wanted or rot, and the limit cannot be ex
ceeded, no matter how urgently more may be
regnilcii.
There are two kindi of currency in use.
'lie best should be preserved; the other with
drawn.
Applying the test to the. government issues,
it is noted at once that they are not redeemable,
not convertible, and therefore not, elastic, and
cannot, be made ,so without first making a
'radical change ill the orgaiiization of the United
States Treastiry.
The notes issued by national banks are
nominally redeemable ; and, it' the tender
notes were out of ihe way, would he actually
so, and, being issued by institutions in sympa
thy with trade, W ()hid contract and expand in
obedience to the law of supply and demand, so
that they would also possess the element of
elasticity.
As to the comparative merits of the - two
kinds of curiency, an impartial consideration
would probably tibcide in favor of bank circu
lation, piuicihally because it would possess the
power of adapting itself to the exigencies of
trade. There is no bramih ot"the fiscal service
adequate to the 'direct issue and Care of such' a
currency as the country requires. lf the Trea,
Bury were redeeming its issueS, large amounts
would be presented for payment when.. money
was plenty, but as the return of this money to
the channels of trade would depend upon the
disbursements of the goverimient,there could be
ho certainty that it would find its way back
dgain when 'needed. In fact, the current opera
tionS of the Treasury of the United States are
regarded by business men as constituting a
powerful and at the same time a very uncertain
element, difficult 'to estimate; but which must
necessarily , be taken into consideration in all
their business transactions. The inconveni
ences and defects inherent in the systenaave
been obviated as far 'as possible, and where
they could riot be obviated entirely they have
been reduced to a minimum;
So long as the collection of the. revenues is
liable to be 'a•protess. of contraction, and their
disbursement api ocess of inflation, the agen
cies through which' collections and flisburSe
ments are, effected cannotbe regarded as suita
ble agencies for• furnishing a sound currency to
the people. The argument that the govern
ment should furnish the currency in order that
it may realize the profit upon its circulation is
a common , one, but will not - bear BertaitY.

fix the''amount 'of -currency that is really,
needed, for it is continually varying, and is
never . fixed. If notes for circulation are issued
by a banking associationtomposed of business
men and capitalists, who are obligedto furnish
security, for the prompt and easy conversion of
their issues into coin on demand, no other
limit to the amount of snch notes need be
fixed than that imposed by self-interest.
A self-adjusting system of currency is the
only one that is adapted to the exigencies of
trade and to the wants-of the country; - and it
is a. vital question at this time whether this re
sult can be reached before' the return of specie
payments. If possible at all, it is only possi-'.;
ble through the agency. of national banks. And !
•itis so only upon the , adoption of a - policy
which will tend gradually but surely to a re
sumption of specie payments. It must be the
gradual development of a process which shall
absorb legal tenders, and put in their place a
paper currency which shall at all times and un
der all circumstances be exchangeable for coin,
either of paper or of gold—a paper currency
which shall gradually increase, while the legal
tenders for its redemption shall gradually de
crease in such a ratio as a healthy demand for
. banking facilities. may determine.
The entire south and many portions of the
west are very much in need of the facilities and
advanta.ges to be derived from properly organ
ized banking institutions, and their necessities
would justify them in deliberately adopting
measures to supply their wants, the direct ten
dency of which would be to hasten the return
of specie payments in the manner indicated, to
wit, by the increase of bank notes and the ab
sorption of the legal tender notes. As the
former increased the latter would diminish. As
lawful money became scarce its value would be
enhanced, and would gradually approximate to
par with gold. Thus specie payments may be
reached through the agency of the national
banks, and by the operation of natural - causes,
The process will not be rapid or spasmodic, be
cause it will in all its stages and In aij its de
tails be governed by sound principles and con
form to established laws.
While free banking may thus be established
with safety, anterior to specie payment, con
ditioned only upon the withdrawal and cancel
lation of a legal-tender dollar fur every dollar
of bank currency issued., free banking upon a
specie basis may also be permitted, With equal
safety and without delay. With details prop
erly adjuSted, banks may be established with
authority to . issue and put in circulation gold
notes—limiting the amount only by the ability
of the banks to comply with the necessary
conditions, and to redeem their issues.
By the establishment of banks on a specie
basis the resumption of specie payments is only
anticipated ; and familiarity with gold values
will do much to relieve the subject of the mys
tery with which it is associated in the minds of
many. Looking forward to the day when
uniform values shall again prevail, it may be
that by wise legislation now a banking system
can be established truly national in its ammo ,
ter and scOpe which will furnish a sound cur
rency of uniform value in every
. State of the
Union. • IBLAND It. flutaumn,

Poor tirricz DErARTMENT„
WASUINGTON, October 16, UM
SEALED PROPDSALS ,for furnishing
Mall-Locks and Keys of new kinds, to be sub
stituted.for the Locks and Keys now umed'on
the United States mails, will be reeeivedattlils
Derailment until ii o'clock A, M. the 3d day of
F,JLBRUARY, 1870. It is desirable to obtain
Locks and Keys of a new construction for the
exclusive-use - of the United States mailS, and,
if practicable, invented expressly for that pur
pose. As the exposure of a model Lock and
Key to public examination would iinpair, if
not destroy, Its utility for the mails, the De
partment prescribes no model for bidders, but
relies for its selection on the specimens of
mechanical Skill and ingenuity which a fair
competitiOn Among inventors, hereby
invited, may develop. • It is suf
ficient to describe the principal
requisites of a Mail-Lock, as follows: he/ i f-
Locking uniformity, sultrily, lightness, striaigth,
durability, neeeify 6/construction and facility of
use. Two kinds of Locks and Keys; one of
brass and the other of iron, different in exte
rior form and interior construction or arrange
ment, are required ; the Proposals should
specify separately the price of each brass
Lock, each Key for same ; each iron Lock,
and each Key for same. Duplicate samples of
each kind of Locks and Keys proposed are
required to be submitted with the Propesals;
one of each SaMple Lock to he riveted up anti
finished, and another to be open or untiveted,
so that its internal structure and arrangement
may easily be examined. EVery sample she tad
be plainly marked with the bidder's name,
and, if filo same-or, any part of it be covered
by a patent, the date of such patent anti On
name of the patentee must also be attached
Wis m Strirptt
. , .
The internal plan or arrangement of the
Locks offered, and the particular shape, of the
Key requisite to open them, must not he like
any now or heretofore in use.
They must be warranted not to infringe
upon or conthet with any patented invention
of which the bidder is not. thepatentee.. Pre
ference will be given to a Lock ; the Key of,
which has not been expe , qtd to general obser
vation, or been publicly de,erihed, disclosed,
or suggested.
A decision on the various spertiniens and
Proposals will be made on or, before. the 3d
day of MARCH, 1870 ; and, unks Posh
the Pos
master-general shall deem it to be best for the
interests of the Department to reject all the.
Proposals and specimens submitted under this
advt. - Ws - Puma (a right hereby expre.lossily re
served to hind, coral:sets will he entered into,
as soon thereafter as practicable, with the
successful bidder whose Locks shall be
adopted, for furnishing similar Locks and
Keys for four years, as they may be required
and ordered. If mutually agreed to in writing
by the contractor and 41,e) Postmaster-
General for the time being, not less
than six . months before its expiration,
the contract, may be extended and
continued for an additional term of four
years. , But ,on and alter the expiration nt
either term of the contract, or on and after
its rightful anulment at any time, the po.u.-
master-General shall have the right to con
tract with or employ any other party ,to r
furnish the same, or ottk,- other hind of
Locks and Keys; and if he Shall deem proper,
to demand and receive from the late or de
faulting contractor all finished or unfinished
Heys and the internal parts of the Locks con
tracted for, and all dies. gauges, and designs,
(which would enable others to make or forge
such Locks or Keys), in the possession of such
contractor, who, after their surrender to the
Department, shall be paid for tilt- s ame,at such
price asMay be ascertained by fair appraise- .
went
The contractor must agree and , he -able to
furnish, if refoired and: ordered. 2006 Brass
Locks and 3,000 Bra 4 -Keys within three
months from the time of entering into con
tract, and V. 0,000 Iron Locks and 60,000 iron
Keys within ten months front such nine. Ititt
the Postmaster-General will reserve the right
to increase or diminish. as the wants or inter
cats of the ~. ervice. l ilftl: delnand, t. 11! rjluantitiew
of the Loehr; and Xeis above speCiflei4 with
a proportionate allowance of time to furnish
them.
All the Locks furnished by the contractor
must be warranted to keep in good working
order for two years in the ordinary We of the
service, - when, not fittbjeettd to Obvious vio
lence; ioiih tug become defective Within that
time to be replaced with perfect Locks with
out charge. the' Locks furnished under(
contract are to he, each. distinctly marked
"U. 8. Mail," in either sunk or raked letters,
and all the Keys are to be numbered in the
natural order ; each Key having.its appropri-'
ate numher distinctly stamped upon one side
of the bow, and U. S. Mad" on the opposite
side.
The contractor will be required to deliver
the Locks at biS own expense at the Post-
Office Department, Washington, put up
on sticks, 'forming separate bundles of five
Locks each, and securely' packed in wooden
boxes containing not more than two hundred.
Locks each. The Keys - are to ho deliverexl
an agent of the Department,duly and specially
authorized in each case to take charge of and
convey the same from the contractor's maim:-
factory to the Department, where both Locks
and Heys are to ho inspected andapproved be
fore they shall be paid for.
The contractor will be required to give bond,
with ample secUrity, in the sum of fifty thou
sand dollars, to be forfeited to the United
States as liquidated damages, in case of
failure to faithfully perform the contract,
either as to furnishing the supplies ordered
within a reasonable time, or as to guarding
the manufacture of the Mail Locks and Keys
with duo privacy, integrity and care.
No Proposal will, therefore, be accepted if
not accompanied with a bond of the penal
sum of Twenty Thousand Dollars, duly exe
cuted by the proposed sureties (whose respon
sibility must be certified by a Judge of a Court
of Record nearest to their place of residence,
attested by the Clerk of such Court under the
seal thereof), and conditioned fortheir becom-.
ing resPonsible sureties on the required
bond for the fulfillment of the contract, in case
such Proposals shall be aeceyted. The mann
facture of Mail Locks and keys is, of neces
sity, a highly important and delicate trust
which the Department will confide to no. bidder
whose Proposals , are not also accoinpanied
with testimonials of good character.
In deciding on the Proposals and specimens
the Postmaster-General may .deein it expedi
ent to select the Bras' Leck'cif, one bidder and
the Iron Lock of another. He, therefore, re
serves the right of contracting with' different
individuals for such different :kinds' Of Locke

Japanese Princes Coming East.
(from the Alta California.
Yesterday we announced the arrival of an
e.iutrafisy from Japan to the Hawaiian Islands,
which comprised several illustrious personaes.
One of the distinguished memberS is no less
than a prince of the blood royal. ills name is
dowara. His brother, Simotzu Matonosin,
meompanied him. These two, attended by a
couple of high, officers, will detach themselves
from the diplomatic 'part of the !embasY, and
proceed to New York, where they will enter
some institution of learning as pupils, and
graduate in the English language. The officers
who wan:main with them are Firayorna,Taro
and bfazigooche Soge; 7 7 The 'diplomatists are
narned — Wooyen Kantoinokamf and Antra
Tzuncyechi. Yesterday, the entire embassy,
with an interpreter, visited Mr. Vaughan's gal
lery, on Third street. and had their' phOtor,
graphs taken in a mini). When the negatiVe
of the picture was exhibited to theta, they
seemed highly pleased. The Prince'S brother,
discovering a small smut spot near the end of
his nose, called attention to it. Mr. Vaughan
assured him that, it would be obliterated when
the picture was printed, with which explana
tion he seemed to be satisfied. The attending
officers carried swords, and were in, Japanese
costume. The Prince and his brother were
dressed a la American() ' and were without
swords. The entire party exhibit the manners
of true gentlemen, and, as such, are worthy the
respect of our citizens.
