amendment thereof, approved January 20, 1871. 
The proposed loan comprises three classes of Bonds, 
namely : 
First. Bonds to the amount of five hundred millions of 
dollars, payable in coin, at the pleasure of the United 
States, after ten years from the date of their issue, and 
bearing interest, payable quarterly in coin, at the rate of 
five per cent per annum. 
Second. Bonds to the amount of three hundred mil- 
lions of dollars, payable in coin, at the pleasure of the 
United States, after fifteen years from the date of their 
issue, and bearing interest, payable quarterly in coin, at 
the rate of four and a half per cent per annum. 
TJdrd. Bonds to the amount of seven hundred mil- 
lions of dollars, payable in coin, at the pleasure of the 
United States, after thirty years from the date of their 
issue, and bearing interest, payable quarterly in coin, at 
the rate of four per cent per annum. 
Subscriptions to the loan will have preference in the 
following order, namely: 
First. Subscriptions that may be first made for five per 
cent bonds to the amount of two hundred millions of 
dollars; of which there will be reserved for twenty days, 
one-half for subscribers in this country and one-half for 
subscribers in foreign countries. 
Second. Subscriptions for equal amounts of each class 
of bonds. 
Third. Subscriptions for equal amounts of bonds bear- 
ing interest at the rate of four and a half per cent, and 
of bonds bearing interest at the rate of five per cent. 
Fourth. Subscriptions for any five per cent bonds 
that may not be subscribed for in the preceding classes. 
When a subscription is made, the subscriber will be re- 
quired to deposit two per cent of the amount thereof in 
coin or currency of the United States, or iu bonds of the 
class to be exchanged, to be accounted for by the Govern- 
ment when the new bonds are delivered ; and payment 
may be made either in coin or in bonds of the United 
States known as fire-twenty bonds, at their par value. 
The coin received in payment will be applied to the 
redemption of five-twenty bonds, and the debt of the 
United States will not be increased by this loan. 
The bonds will be registered or issued with coupons, 
as may be desired by subscribers. Registered bonds will 
be issued of the denominations of $50, $100, $500, $1,000, 
$5,000, and $10,000 ; and coupon bonds of each denomina- 
tion except the last two. The interest will be payable in 
the United States, at the office of the Treasurer, any As- 
sistant Treasurer, or Designated Depositary of the Gov- 
ernment, quarterly, on the first days of February, May, 
August, and November, in each year. 
The bonds of the several classes aforesaid, and the in- 
terest thereon, are exempt from the payment of all taxes 
or dues of the United States, as well as from taxation in. 
any form by or under State, municipal, or local authority. 
After maturity, the bonds last issued will be first re- 
deemed, by classes and numbers, as may be designated by

but the agents for the negotiation of the loan in Europe
