Specie Payments.


There Is a good deal Of ink shed in discus
sions as TO the feasibility Of returning at once
to specie payments, and the Secretary of the
Treasury is much praised for his promises b
ty to bring about such a consumnation at a
very carly day. We are not Of the number
who believe such aresult practicable for at least
two years to come. The reason is obvious to
car mind.
The government Of the United States owes Q
very large amount Of uuhquidated claims. It's
current expenses are yet very heavy, and viii
be for some time TO come. There is not specie
enough in the whole country to pay OF one half
Of these obligations, If thegoyermnent had con-
troll Of the whole Of IL; and the last monthly
report shows that Che whole amount of coin on
hand, October 8lst, was SS4,555,9s7. This
shows an increase Of SISi5,1sS over the a.
mount on hand SO.h Of September
This is a gratifying increase, but at the same
rate the addition for a whole year would only
he about twenty-five millions.
The public debt that is the funded debit
amounted on the sOth Sept, to $2,744. 947, 726
On the 8lst October it was 2,74OS56,75S
Decrease S40929GS
The Secretary has lately authorized the issue
Of new Eve-twonty bonds in exchange Of fifty
millions Of legal tender notes, and of this a.
mount s44,479, 100 have been already taken
It is made matter Of graduation that this
amount Of paper currency has been withdrawn
from circulation, but the fact is not made prom
inent before the public that this amount is
more than supplied by the issue of National
Banknotes-a paper currency certainly no bet
Ter than the legal tenders of the Government
These banks have now circulation of S2O4,-
100000, and 500 millions are authorized.
1t is useless 70 initiate the hopes ofthe people
on the subject Of specie. We must be patient
and submit to paper currency and high prices
until cotton, the great staple Of the South, shall
become abundant and take the place ofcoin in
our foreign commercial transactions.

of the papers have copied the indexes of three
Of the chapters Of Mr.. Buchanan's book, and
the preface, in which he gives his reasons for
its late appearance. These we shall copy next
week He says:
The publication was delayed to avoid the
possible mputation, unjust as this would have
been, that any portion Of it was intended to
embarrass Mr.. Lincoln's administration in the
vigorous prosecution Of pending hostilities.-
The author deemed it Eur better to suffer tenn
porary injustice than to expose himself to such
a change.
