ASSUMPTION OF SPECIE P4YMEkT.

A,dspedcat-vho is also New York tner-
chant for preparing the Government and
the country for resumption Of specie pay
menis, has enough in itselfto excite share
of attention at the Capital. He says:-"To
do this at once would be to bring about
panic, suchas was never known in the world
Ten men whom he could name could and
probably would. combine and lock up gold
enough. Immediately on the resuGption Of
speeie payments, 10 produce al the evils 6fs
terrible panic TO the community, while they
would scoop up money BY the millions. g
M. Bowen proposes that the Government
begin 10 prepare for thegesumption Of specie
ri psyusnts by discodnting the coupons attach

b.pisuty that the specGlatoFs would have no
chance to play their gambling tricks on the

the Aessy and safe return to specie payments.
