Specie Payments.

The policy of the Administra-
ton on the subject of resuming
specie payment, and which has
neen a matter of much specula-
tloh' Is set forth in the Presidents
message with probably as much
clearness as could be expected
fro1n that official. The principles
enunclated are sound, and in
strlklng contrast with the views
or that not insignificant class
who have endeavored to prove
the great blessings of paper
currency and who urge a still fur
ther increase in it's volume. With
reference, however, to the plan
Dy which specie payments sho uld
be restored, Congress is wisely
referred to the different. writer's
on political economy for guidance.
The only positive suggestion is
on The! subject of putting a stop
to the Huctuation in the value Of
currency in the interim, to accom-
push which the treasury is to
purchase any Of it's own paper at
a liked price on demand from the
holder, and hold the currency
thus redeemed to be sold again
for gold. In other words. the
Secretary Of the Treasury is to
dictate to the country what it
shHH consider the value of a dol
lar IN greenbacks, and if the hold
ef desires to convert his currency
INTO gold he has but to apply to
the Government and obtain the
specie. Instead of selling a Ger
tam amount of gold weekly OF
monthly, it is to be offered to any
one who desires to purchase at a
hNed premium. That such a
course would check speculation
except III extreme cases would
seem probable, for all speculation
depends ultimately upon the law
OF supply and demand. 80 "

Our Next Census.

the Coy family that his confederate
