RUTLAND HERALD.
MONDAY. DECEMBER ., 1867.
The New York Chamber of Com.
mercs ON the National Finances.

The New York Chamber of Commerce,
at its meeting on the 26th ult., had onder
consideration the report OF a select COM
mittee OF that body upon the subject of
return to specie paymen The report
was Enthusiastically outspoken In favor of
an early resumption OF specie payment,
and eyinced entire faith In its practica.
bility. 1t favored the funding OF the
hoatlng debt by the substitution of long
bonds, and recommending thst a por.
ton lat least 10 per cent? of the custom
duties be made payable in greenbscks,
and that the notes thus received be can
celed, thereby rendering the government
sales OF gold hereafter unnecessary.
The committee were OF the opinion
that such course would soon bring the
value of our currency nearly up to that
OF specie, when the government might
safely undertake to redeem greenbacks
with gold, provided there should be no
serious falling off In the receipts OF gold
for customs. Further, that upon the
resumption OF specie payment by the
government, cur banks and the commu-
nifty st large must necessarily follow the
example OF the government, and all
would have common interest in sus-
tanning each other in the general policy,
whenever adopted. In reference to the
amount Of the National debt held
abroad, the committee did not make an
estimate, but were OF the opinion it was
being constantly increased, and there
was no valid reason for supposing an
approach to specie payment would have
a tendency to lessen the amount, 1t be.
ing the fact that as our currency ap.
preached the specie standard, and the
home premium on bonds increased, there
was corresponding appreciation of our
securities abroad, and 1t was safe to as.
sumo they would be teuaciously held in
Europe so long as Congress and the
American people eviDce an integrity of
purpose worthy the nation. They also
deprecated the payment Of the govern
ment bonds in currency, and protested
against an increase of the circulation of
the Countrywide former as bad faith
and the latter as most fectuslly serving
to hasten financial ruin, thus far averted.
AS 8 whole, the document is an emphat-
ic protest against the extravagant clam
ors for additional issues of paper money
raised by the hair,brained spectators of
the country, and au earnest demand for
an honest payment OF the obligations Of
the nation.
We regard the report as most timely,
and it cannot fail to have a most salu.
tary effect upon Congress and the peo-
pie. 1t is gratifying to note in this con-
nection that the views OF one of our
Senators, expressed in Congress, has
thus been so fully endorsed by the abest
flnanciers OF the country,

Our friend, W. T. Page, Esq, OF vicks-
burg, sent us copy Of the Burlington

copy Of the annual message of Gov. John
B. Page to the Legislature of Vermont.
The first contains an account Of the
reception of General Sheridan by the
Governor and General Assembly of the
State Of Vermont, and also a meeting of
the soldiers of Vermont, who were under
the command OF General Sheridan in
Virginia.
We thank Mr.. Page for his kind atteu-
ton. Himself s native Of the proud old
State where our childhood and youth
were spent, he can appreciate the affsc-
tion and fondness for her which cipgs
to the hearts of all her sons and daugh-

These papers have awakened memories
which have slumbered for years. They
bring to our mind the scenes of thirty
years ago when we were youth, aRd

ARRIVAL or WESTON, The PEDESTRIAN
IN CHICAGO. - Edward Payson Weston,

started from Portland, Me-, on the Goth
of October, at IL o'clock, to walk to
Chicago, 8 distance of 1887 Sd miles,
reached his destination on Thursday
morning, at 10 o'clock, having some two
hours to spare. The excitement on his
arrival vas intense. The roads FOR miles
out OF the city were crowded with curl
Gus spectators and the streets through
which ne passed TO the Sherman House
were packed with people. The police
had much difficulty in making a way
for him through the crowd, VINO were
very enthusiastic and impatient to give
him welcome In the vicinity OF the
Sherman House $4,000 people had con.
grega:ed, and in spite Of the police Yves
ton was carried into the hotel on the
shoulders of the crowd. He then made
his appearance on the balcony, holding
his little girl in his arms aud ia his
hand beautiful bouquet given him by
the ladies, aud was received with round
OF hearty cheers. On Thursday after
noon and evening Weston appeared at
the Oprra House aud delivered lecture
on athletic sports. He will remain in
Chicago two weeks, and during that
time will attempt the feat of walking
100 miles in "a hours 90 the Dexter park
race course. His failure to accomplish
this curing his long walk is attributed
TO had roads and the fear that his feet
wou swell so much that he would be
unable 20 reach Chicago. II he had
succeeded in both frats be would have
won $4,000; as it is be gets only 81 900.
