THE RESUMPTION SENTIMENT.

. MORE FAyoRABLE FEELING IN THE HOUSE IMAM
cIAL COMMITTEES THF BOLD PLAN Or Mr.. HAN
COCK FOR IMMEDIATE RESULTS.
lBY TELEGRAPH TO rHB TRIBuNEl
WASHINGTON, Jan. 27-The resumption law was
the subject Of discussion in the Ways and Means
and the Banking and Currency Committees to-day
but no action was taken. In the former, the sent-
ment developed was strongly in favor of resump-
ton, but the members have not yet reached the
poin. of declaring in favor of any distinct pan The
mode of carrying ont the present law was talked
over and the necessity Of additional legislation
acknowledged.
Mr.. Hancock of Texas, the third member of the
committee. says he has made up his mind what he
wants but that the other members have not declared
themselves He believes in heroic treatment OF the
resunption question. He does rot think 1t neces-
sary to wait till 1879, before beginning to resume
He believes in starting at once. The fret thing ne
would do if he had the power, would be to accumu-
late 800, 600 in gold, which could be easily
done by the first Of March. At that time. he
would buy up at the best rate he could
S2O,OO0,OOO of greenbacks, which be would
destroy at once. On the lst Of April he would buy
another 500. 600, 900, and month aiterward the
third $40, 900 600, making S60,OOOoOO. The re-
naming 3 10, 0OO, 600 he would keep as a reserve.
He thinks that by the list Of June greenhacks
would be at par, and the resumption act would be a
dead letter.
The Banking and Currency Committee considered
Mr.. Paynes bill. Although no vote was had on 1t,
the sentiment Of the members seemed to be favor
able to its provisions, and it need not be surprising
II it is reported with slight amendments.
The questions arising ont Of the dividing financial
legislation between the two Committees are proving
Troublesome As in the present case, the two Com
mttees often consider the subject, and 1t has
sometimes happened that both have reported on the
same subject in the House. Some rule should be
adopted with reference to this subject so that the
Secretary of the Treasury other public officer de-
string to confer with members on certain financial
proposition would not be obliged to go before two
committees.

NEW IMMORAL LITERATURE BILL.
DANGEROUS TENDENCY OF THE NEW MEAsURE-IHE
PRESS SUBJECTED To INTERFERENCE BY POST
MAsTERs-sTANDARD MEDICAL BOOKS REJECTED
FROM THE MAILS.
lBY TELEGRAPH THE TRBUSE.l
WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-The Committee Oh Post
Offices and Post Roads, when called this morning,
ported bill further to restrict the circulation Of
obscene and immoral literature through the mails.
The bill met with considerable objection, especially
from the Republican side Of the House While
there Is a disposition among the members Of Con-
gress to take every proper to prevent the
Of the mails for such purposes, very general i'm
preston prevails that laws now existing have
been in some cases improperly enforced, and that
the bill reported to-day would confer upon post
masters and other special agents of the Post-Otce
Department very dangerous power.
Mr.. Hoar called attention to the fact that in
former times The TRIBUNE had been considered in
certain parts of the country an immoral document,
because it favored the abolition Of Slavery and that
postmasters on that account had considered them
selves justified in destroying copies Of it when re-
ceved at their Offices and in refusing To deliver it to
subscribers. He considered the bill as reported as
more dangerous to the liberties of the press than
1.-The Press Gag law" about which so much had
been said. II postmasters allowed to determine
what kind Of literature 10 moral they may exclude
any newspaper which contains advertisements con-
sdered by them to be improper.
1t is understood that in some instances the present
law has been improperly enforced. In one case it is
reported that dealer in standard medical works
has been put TO great inconvenience for sending
through the mails medical books recognized as an
authority by the leading colleges Of the country,
and 1t was in order to prevent further abuse Of
this law any further opportunities for such abuse
that tho bill was recommtted to-day.
