5i" ,' RETURNED.
Mr.. j. D. F. Lanier, the well-known bro
ker of New York, has recently returned
| from Europe, whittier be went some time
age on a confidential mission for the Gov
ernment in connection with the national
finances Yesterday he had an interview
with the President and Secretary of the
Treasury, to whom he submitted a verbal
report Of the results of his mission. Mr..
Lanier everywhere found that the best of
feeling prevailed in financial circles in re-
laticn TO the United States, particularly on
AuC COllllltnbf anu lutIb was kAddb NOLA-
denee liz our public securities at Frankfort,
on the main. He addressed at length
large meeting of capitalists, embracing rep
resentatlves from nearly every leading
house in Germany. The complete and ut
ter overthrow Of the rebellion was a matter
Ofmuch surprise and eongratulation. The
demonstration, made of the power and
wealth on the part of the North was subject
of universal admiration, but the war being
i.
pressed by the European holders of our Sc
curities that we would Immediately COM
mence to return toward specie payment,
however gradual the progress in such diree-
tiOn might be. Such step it was represen-
ted was necessary to the maintaina91n
of confidence in our securities and policy of
the government, and the ability of the
country to bear all the burdens of the war,
was not questioned, especially with the
rapid progress Of the reconstruction which
bids fair to restore social and political har-
mony to every part of the country. Withia
wise and correct policy, there will be no en-
to the demand for our securities, nos
only ON the continent, but in England,
where our military success Is fast opening
their ewes to the great value of our bonds.
But the feeling against any further increase
and in favor Of steady contraction of the
currency was seriously expressed as the sole
condition on which credit abroad could be
maintained
1t is understood that the views of Mr.. La
nier were heartily responded to by both the
President and Secretary.
