denominations of one thousand dollars and of five hundred dollars. The denominations of one hundred dollars and of twenty dollars bear, in addition to the printed signatures first before named, the printed sig nature of "H. H. Van Dyck, Assistant Treasurer of the United States;" and are, therefore, perfect, and are transferable by delivery the same as the legal-tender notes of the United States. The foregoing statements in regard to the movements of these gold certificates have been made very much in detail, and have been stated and restated in various ways, as well to test the correctness of the various statements with each other, and with the summary of the whole, as to have a perfect record of these securities in every particular; and because it is believed that they are the most liable to be used surreptitiously of any of the funds of the United States, and that greater watchfulness is required in their case than in that of any other securities of the government. UNITED STATES SEVEN AND THREE-TENTHS NOTES. STATEMENTS OF CONVERSIONS AND REDEMPTIONS OF SEVEN-THIRTIES DURING THE FISCAL YEAR BY SERIES AND DENOMINATIONS; AND IN GROSS AMOUNTS DURING FORMER YEARS, AND GROSS AMOUNTS OUTSTANDING. Brought forward......$36, 622, 800 Redeemed previous to July 1, 1868...... $792, 201, 600 Total original issue.. 1, 168, 100 793, 369, 700 829, 992, 500 Statements by series, and by denominations of seven-thirty notes, that were outstanding on the 30th of June, 1869. The debt statement dated July 1, 1869, as published by the Secretary of the Treasury, makes the amount of these seven-thirty notes outstanding to be $1,166,500, being $1,600 less than as per foregoing statement. This discrepancy occurred and is accounted for as follows: An amount of fifteen hundred dollars, in these notes, that were received from the then assistant treasurer at New York, for conversion into five-twenty United States bonds, had been caveated, in the office of the Secretary of the Treasury, as having been stolen from the payee. The conversion was thereupon refused, and the notes were returned to the office in New York, in order that they might be replaced by other notes of the same amount. The indorser of these notes, from whom they were received, refused to respond. The matter is in litigation, and is undecided. A note for $100 was received in this office from the office of the Secretary of the Treasury, in the month of April last; but, having been mislaid, was not redeemed until after the close of the fiscal year. The statement then is as follows: Amount outstanding as per debt statement of July 1, 1869. $1, 166, 500 Add the above mentioned two items... Which together make the amount outstanding, as per CIRCULATING NOTES ISSUED DURING THE YEAR. Legal tenders: 5,522,000 ones. 56, 560 one hundreds.. Total....
