acted upon. The policy of the delay Is

Already these notes are refused by some OF
the non specie paying banks, and are at u
discount OF Il per cont. IN exchange for BANK
notes for which payment is suspended.
Nothing seems now to be certain IN regard
to the character of the contem plate pro vi

ton one hundred and fitey millions yesr, i!
may be found necessary 10 ruise TWO hundred
and 1ifty millions. 1t is also proposed by the

shall purchase st the MAJ ket rate hunured
millions in gold, and issue upon this al q
basis three hundred millions in treasury
notes without Interest and payable ON de-
