no intention TO make any explanation Of
his dispatches. He says no was not &C.

patches in cipher were read to him. and
believing they contained only the words

The Latest Plan to Resume.
WASHINGTON. Feb. .-Christiancy
has matured q plan for the resumption
Of specie payments January lst. 1878,
which he will submit TO Senators. rep.
ressntatives. and New York bankers to-
morrow. The interest on the loan
which no proposes would not DO paid in
gold or silver, but In the pound stsr.
ling, which would give tho option Of
either or both metals. lie asserts posi-.
lively that the whole amount submitted
under the conditions he suggested would
be subscribed In twenty -four hours. He
holds that the Government must acquire
gold to redeem groenbacks, in order
that the banks and the country may
have this gold to redeem bank notes.
He also believes that by his plan Of
forcing a vast sum Of gold to this coun.
try, European nations will be obliged to
adopt the blmstallio standard. and
thus bring silver into 8 again In o
legitimate manner all over the world.
His plan will attract the attention Of
bankers and nnanciers in England and
Europe generally, even more than here.
