LETTER FROM WASHINGTON.
Special Corresponding.

vary Win the prepOSsesSlOns OF the au-
thority whence derived. 1t is, however,
admitted by all that his views have I'M
dergone radical changes since he has de-
voted more time to their consideration.
He has undoubtedly come to regard the
reconciliation of silver to some extent
with favor, but still holds to the prime
necessity of resumption at the time des-
ignated and he is reported to favor a
suspension of further payments on the
public debt for the present, holding that
all our energies and resources should be
directed to a compliance with the terms
of the resumption act.
Secretary Sherman's disposition as In
Dictated by his official acts, is watched
with degree of interest rarely aroused
by any of his predecessors. Congratu-
lations continue to pour in upon him for
his success with the new loan and his
able administration generally but the
crucial period of his incumbency has
hardly yet arrived, when he will be
looked to to pilot the business interests
of country great in the diversity of its
industries, through the trying period of
further contraction, condition prece-
dent to resumption, no matter when at
tempted and if he succeed in retaining
the confidence of those interested until
that desideratum shall have been accom-
plished and we are in the calm waters
beyond, his possession Of the highest or
der of ability will have been demonstrate
ed beyond cavil. Formal notice has been
given By the syndicate that it is prepar-
ed to receive subscriptions to the new
loan, in sums from $50 upwards. A
large popular response is anticipated,
and it is believed that it will have the
effect to materially lower the rate of
loans for ordinary business purposes.
The Bureau of Engraving and Printing
enters at once on the WORK of preparing
the bonds. This necessitates small
