Specia Payments.

4 telegram that one OF the
banks of St. Louis has resumed specie pay
ments. 1t had very little circulation at1oat-
only $4,000. So the telegram which an
nounces that the bank has paid out $500 0
in gold must be in error. We have no idea
that tile country is just now ready for
specie payments. There ere yet to be some
sharp conflicts between the bulls and bears
upon the narrow field that is left between
the present premium and the par of paper
with gold. There will be wavering strug-
gle,-a rising and falling-with a gradual
general decline until gold is so nearly at
par with paper, and 80 firmly fixed there,
as to Justify resumption.
The worst thing in financial disease is q
relapse. There should be never a resump-
ton until the country is SO we'll prepared
for it that there is no danger OF an early
revulsion threatening q resort again to aus
tension Of specie payments and it should,
moreover, take place under circumstance
causing as little ~stringency as possible.
This policy is wisely recommended by
Governor WALKER with regard to the pay
ment of the interest on the public debt
of Virginia. He thinks, justly, that it
would be most unfortunate for us to begin
until the State shall be able to continue it
with entire promptncss.
