U. S. 10-40 BONDS. 
These Bonds are issued under the Act of Congress 
of March 8th, 1864, which provides that in lieu of so 
much of the loan authorized by the Act of March 3d,lSG3, 
to which this is supplementary, the Secretary of the 
Treasury is authorized to borrow from time to time, 
on the credit of the United States, not exceeding 
TWO HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS during the 
current fiscal year, and to prepare and issue therefor 
Ceupon and Registered Bonds of the United States ; 
and all Bonds issued under this Act shall be EXEMPT 
FROM TAXATION by or under any State or muni- 
cipal authority. These Bonds are TO BE REDEEM- 
ED IN COIN, at the pleasure of the Government, at 
any period not less than ten nor more than forty 
years from their dale, and until their redemption FIVE 
PER CENT. INTEREST WILL BE PAID IN 
COIN, on Bonds of not over one hundred dollars an- 
nually, and on all other Bonds semi-annually. 
The interest is payable on the first days of March 
and September in each year. The semi-annual Cou- 
pons are payable at those dates, and the annual Cou- 
pons on the 00 and 100-dollar Bonds are payable on 
the first of March. 
Subscribers will receive either Registered or Cou- 
pon Bonds, as they may prefer. 
Registered Bonds will be issued of the denomina- 
tions of Fifty Dollars ($50), One Hundred Dollars 
($100), Five Hundred Dollars ($500), One Thousand 
Dollars ($1,000), Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000), and 
Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000) ; and Coupon Bonds 
of the denominations of Fifty Dollars ($50), One Hun- 
dred Dollars ($100), Five Hundred Dollars ($500), and 
One Thousand Dollars ($1,000). 
Subscribers to this loan will have the option of hav- 
ing their Bonds draw interest from March 1st, by pay- 
ing the accrued interest in coin— (or in United States 
notes, or the notes of National Banks, adding fifty per 
cent, foi premlui e them drawing Interest

of the country is holderi to secure the payment of 
both principal and interest in coin. 
These Bonds may be subscribed for in sums from 
$60 up to any magnitude, on the same terms, and are 
thus made equally available to the smallest lender and 
the largest capitalist. They can be converted into 
money at any moment, and the holder will have the 
benefit of (he interest. 
The fact that all duties on imports are payable in 
specie furnishes a fund for like payment of interest on 
all Government Bonds largely in excess of the wants 
of the treasury for this purpose. 
Upon the receipt of subscriptions a certificate of de- 
posit therefor, in duplicate, will be issued, the origi- 
nal of which will be forwarded by the subscriber to 
the Secretary of the Treasury, at Washington, with a 
letter stating the kind (registered or coupon) and the 
denominations of bonds required. 
Upon the receipt of the original certificates at the 
Treasury Department, the Bonds subscribed for will 
be transmitted to the subscribers respectively. 
Subscriptions will be received by the Treasurer of 
the United States at Washington, and the Assistant 
Treasurers at New York, Boston, and Philadelphia, 
and by the
