 Senate in:favor of his plan for the resump tion of specie payments. Senator Morton has the rare power of being able to pnt hls views. oven on so entangled question as t;,at of finance, in plain, intelligible Ian euaee. .. His argument is not quite as con vincing as it is clear; but it shedsa flood of light on |. question that is discussed much oftener than it is understood, even by our ablest public men. Mir. Morton's speech brings out an elaborate reply from Horace Greedy in Mondays Daily Tribune, and much comment in the press. The modes of Resumption now most prominently ad- vocated arc the three following: @-
 1. That of MT. Greeley, who argues for instant resumption. He maintains that the the seventy millions of gold in the Treas ury would meet all calls for specie that would be made on the Government, if it was known that the measure was to be Q permanent one To make it sure that the government could meet it's creditors, Mir. Greeley further proposes to authorize the issuing of a or per cent Consol and tho negotiating a temporary loan.
 2. Secretary McCulloch's plan, ,who believes in paying off the Greenbacks as fast as we can, thus bringing about Resumption by contraction. In default of this, MT. Mo- CulIoch proposes that greonbacks should 1 be deprived of their legal tender capacity, at a future specified time to be settled by law, that their conversion into bonds should be authorized, and that coin con- tracts should be legalized. 3. Senator Morton's plan provides for set ting aside sufficient gold to make Resump- tion possible in about two years Mir Mor- ton opposes legalizing gold contracts as tend ing to stock gambling, and interference with the legal tender feature of the green back, as contrary to good faith. Tine bond question he considers entirely subsidiary to that of the greenbacks, because the lat ter, being in the nature of overdue, pro- tested paper, must be met and disposed of, before our credit can be restored.
 The great bone of contention between 1 these gentlemen is whether the deprecia- tion of onr currency is owing to an over-is- sue, as claimed by Messrs McCulloch and Greeley, or to the fact that our paper prom. ises are not redeemed as agreed-the cur rency in circulation being no moro than the country needs-according to Mir Morton. McCulloch's remedy has been repndiated by Congress; Greeley's is too bold even for the East; Morton's seems remote, but it may be the only one that is practicable.
