SDecie PAYMENTS.

The question OF the resumption OF specie
payments seems to be at last in a fair way
toward settlement The government has
advanced so far on the way to resumption
that there is hardly possibility OF fall
ure to resume in 1879. As we draw near
the date fixed in the resumption act for
resuming, the obstacles to resumption
vanish The position OF President Hayes
/. 50 decided upon the subject, so posi-
lively in favor OF keeping the pledged
faith of the government TO resume, that
it blasts the hopes OF the auli-resumption-
lists in their ability to continue longer the
inconvertible currency of the country.
Against his veto the infationsts in Con-
gress are powerless. They cannot over
ride it. They may rant and scold and de-
nounce the President. but that will not ac-
complsh the purpose they have in view.
The first day OF January, 1879. is so near
that they have no time in which to
strengthen themselves in Congress, and
without more strength there they cannot
prevail against the Presidential veto.
Beside this, all the conditions upon
which resumption depends, outside of
Congress. are remarkably favorable The
Secretary of the Treasury has already
laken successfully the initiation steps re-
quired in the process of resumption. He
has full faith that the government has the
ability to resume in 1879, and firmly be-
lieyes that il should do so. In The ordina-
ry operations of business greenbacks
have appreciated IN value nearly to the
gold standard. The difference between
gold and greenbacks is only TWO to three
per cent We have large crops going
abroad for a market, the proceeds of
which must be returned TO US in gold.
We are exporting oil our manufactures
more than ever before, and importing less
offoreign manufactures. thus lessening the
drain of gold to other countries to which
we have been subject by excessive inn
portations in years past. Throughout the
business community there has been gen
eral preparation in the methods of trade
for the day of resumption. The mass of
the people will never be better prepared
than now for it.
And upon the whole we don't see what
the soft money men can do about it. Re-
sumption is coming as sure as fate They
cant prevent it if they would, and after
we have again returned to sound cur
rency, to a solid foundation for business.
they will be as much benentted 10y the re-
suit as any other class, and as unwilling
as anybody else to go back to the snares
and deusions and evils of sn irredeemable
rag money currency.

The returns made by the Massachusetts
Savings Banks on the LIST OF October viii
show quite a large decrease in the aggre-
gate of deposits from last year, amount
ing probably to some three or four mill
ions. This is the first time in dozen
wears that there has been a falling oil IN
the deposits, and last year the increase
WAS some six millions. This decrease is
the more striking from the fact that the
fr.t six months oi the year showed IA gain
in the amount on deposit, and that there
fore there has been decrease OF some-
thing like six millions in the last SIX

A "rrue Story" Of the Is. Il D.
Charges For 'rranSpOriatinE
TrOODH,

BALTIMORE, August ia dispatch
received from Washington to-day says
the truth about the charges for transp0r-
tation OF troops by the Baltimore and
Ohio road during tho strike is as follows;
A bill for the transportation of two hun.
dred men and eleven officers was sent to
Col. French, the first commanding officer
during the time OF trouble. Col. French
forwarded it to the Quartermastcr Gen.
oral, declining to o. X. it, and limiting that
in his opinion such u charge was rather
immodeSt. The Quartermaster General
sent the bill to the Secretary Of War, in
dorsing the letter OF Colonel French to
the effect that under the decisions OF Sec
retSry Stanton, the Baltimore & Ohio
road had always been paid for the trans
pOrtatiOn OF troops, and that this bill
would no doubt have to be paid. The
Secretary Of War laid the matter before
the Cabinet, after which it came back ia
the Quartermaster General, indorsed
that the CLAIM wonld be laid aside until
it was seen il any like claims we're sent in
when just decision would be made in
the case, and 80 the matter rests.
