RESUMPTION OF SPECIE PAYMENTS The
Banks ofthe city of New York have unanimous
IL resolved to resume specie payments for all
their liabilities, the resumption to commence to
day. II is said that their condition was never so
strong "a at present. Having twenty-six mil
lions of dollars in their vaults, they will sustain
the resumption with ease. In the meeting which
resolved on the resumption thirty-eight Of the
city banks were represented Eight of the un-
represented banks are now understood to be also
ready to fall iato line. 1t is now just two months
since the suspension.
The Banks Of Albany have also resolved to re-
sumo specie payments to-day; also, the Banks in
Boston.
The Banks Of New England and other States,
will, no doubt, soon follow example.
On the 3lst of October the Banks in New Or
leans had an actual coin basis of nearly four mil.
lion dollars. They now have eight millions
They resumed several weeks ago.

SPLRIrOF THE MORNING PRESS.

The Union, in an elaborate article, reviews
the late speech of Senator Douglas, replying
conclusively to the points that gentleman es-
sayed to make against the propriety of the
policy with reference to the State Constitution
of Kansas urged in the Presidents Message.
The able writer shows first, that Senator Doug
las Is incorrect in his assumption that he finds
justification In the Message for his position !;
and next, that in that position-that the entire
So omission Of the Constitution was necessary
to give validity to the action of the Lecompton
Convention-Senator Douglas takes ground
against the doctrines of his own report of 1856;
and more especially wherein he holds that the
Kansas and Nebraska act required the submis-
sion Of the whole Constitution to n popular vote
before transmitting il to Congress The writer
proves eonelusively that the Leeompton Con.
vention was not only a legally constituted BODY
with power to do what it has done, but that il
there is statesman in the land estopped from
denying that fact by the tenor of his own
record. that gentleman is no other than Senator
Douglas himself. And, also, that to hold the
contrary position is to stand on the platform O,
the Topeka disOrganizers and agitators. twill
be difficult indeed for one to read the article in
question without realizing most foreib!y the
fact that the only effect Of the position and
arguments of Senator Douglas must be to
strengthen the Republican party organization
against the principles, measures and candidates
OF the Democratic party.

this sort, much injustice may be inflicted on
Mr.. Jones by the circulation of this infamous
falsehood, for which no man of character will

The WINNEBAGOEs.-J. E. Fletcher Indian
Agent at the Winnebago Agency reports to
the Indian Bureau that the Indian employees
upon the farm, in the brick yard and other de-
partments work we'll, but want to settle often.
The Indians were enjoying good health, were
peaceable and generally temperate. Twenty
acres of winter wheat have been sown at the
Agency, but most of it was to be sown later as
less liable to winter kill. The brick made at
