RESUMPTION OF SPECIE PAY
MENTS.
Theories Of Prominent Public Men.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 8.

Theories Of Prominent Public Men.
Correspondence Of the Journal Of Commerce.
WASHINGTON, Dec. s.
For some two years past several promi.
pent gentlemen In both Houses Of Con.
gress have GXerted themselves TO bring
about resumption Of specie payments
The efforts were put forth with energy,
but no plan was suggested which suited
the tastes Of majority, and the subject
went over from one session 10 another,
till now. It was believed by the adva.
Gates Of the project, who were reinforced
by considerable number Of strong men
in the respective Houses, that there was
strength enough 10 pass some kind OF a
bill this winter. Accordingly, on Tues.
day, General Garfield called meeting Of
the Banking and Currency Committee for
Wednesday, with view Of informally
discussing the subject, in order TO ascer.
tain how lur 1t would go, whAtplans were
afOOt, and whether IL joint plan could be
got out Of the committee and passed in
the House. The committee net. 1t did
not take many minutes, however, to show
that while every member Of the commit.

est possible moment, each lUd his partiC.

opinions showed IL chaotic ENHANCEMENT
To make the matter worse it was found
that the question had been informally
canvaSSed among the principal members
Of tue Senate and House in quiet way,
and the deeper it was prObed the worse it
got. =.
Finally, It was found that the commit.
tee would, il the question were put, come
to sensible conclusion, viz: " lot the
problem Of the method Of rcsuming specie
payments work Itself out, lift will do so
before next winter. This was on the
ground that the premium on gold is grad
Hally lessening, and the value OF govern
ment paper increasing in the same ratio
and that the probabilities arc result Of
thekInd desired may be more easily reach

sion Of Congress. The language OF Gen
eral Garfield seems 20 state 1t more posi-
lively, I'm other words, we will then
have more cable TO take our measure

In the Committee on Banking and Cur

ulsps and propositions were well received.
Among these were Mr. lngersoll's hobby,
to declare certain per cent. Of legal ten

five are to believe French newspa-
pers, the interview between Napoleon III
and William II after the battle of Sedan,
was much less amiable than it was at inst
represented to have been. The King
treated his prisoner with marked discour-
tesy, affecting to call him Monsieur, in re-
ply TO the Emperor's Sire. A Prussian
staff officer, sent on mission to Namur,
is represented to have said that the Kings
original intention was 70. order Napoleon
to be shot, so great was his evaporation
against him, and that it was the interfer.
auce Of the Crown Prince and Bismarck
which procured a modification Of his sec
ond plan OF incarcerating him for life in
the fortress OF Spandau. AS it is, the cap
tive monarch has q very pleasant resi-
dence in the castle. Now it is coming to
be generally believed in Europe that VIII
liam will end the war byrestoring Napo-
leon, and maintaining him on the throne
OrFrancc with PrusSian bayonets.

ButIer's Book on Grant.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 0


Just now General Butler is growing
uneasy lest he be brought into similar re.
lations to the President as those sustained
by Admiral Porter. Within few days
the real character of Buffers book on Gen.
Grant, prepared soon after the close Of the
war with a view of defeating the latter
for the Presidency, has been coming out
through parties now in the city, who at
the time had access to the sheets. The
work reached the stage where criticisms
were prepared for several journals, and
the whole thing was ready TO appear when
Butler, Tor some reason, changed bis pur.
pose, adroitly managed to get the reviews
already written back into his hands again,
and from that time to this the book has
disappeared from sight. There is now
said to be danger that one Of these re.
views. prepared under Buffers own eye
and directions, has passed beyond his con-
troll, and is likely to be public property
before long. There is no doubt but that
the book as q whole, was avery bitter at
tack upon Grant, gotten up in Buffers
most malignant style. f.aEs..a

ONE of the greatest annoyances con-
nected with railroad travelling is that
arising from the cinders and sparks which
issue from locomotives. A master me-
chanic on the Nashua(N. H. railroad has.
it is said, invented an apparatus whereby
this Inconvenience may be done away
with. BY means of simple but ingen-
ious conlrivance the cinders are taken
from the smoke.stack and carried into the
fire, where they are consumed, and thus
added to the heat. The invention has
been satisfactorily tested in New England
by practical men. 1t is to be hoped that
1t will be generally adopted by the rail-
roads of the country.
