Resumption of Specie Payments.

The remarks of the Secretary of the
Treasury in his annual report concerning
the resumption of specie payments are
full of courage and confidence. lie has
made the most thorough preparation iol
the task before him. Every obstacle has
been carefully considered and provided
for, ali means to the end 10 view have
been sought tor, and every resource hus-
banded. The situation as expressed in
the hopeful words of Secretary Sherman is
gratifying. Every step says he, lin
these preparations for resumption has
been accompanied with increased business
and confidence. The accumulation OF
cJin, instead of increasing its price, as
was feared by many. has steadily reduced
its premium in the market. The depress-
ing and ruinous losses that followed the
panic OF 1873 had not diminished in 1870,
when the Resumption Act passed; but
every measure taken in the execution or
enforcement of this act has tended to
Tighten these losses and to reduce the pre-
MUM on coin, 50 that now il is mere Y
nominal. The present condition of our
trade, industry and commerce, hereafter
more fully stated, our ample reserves, and
the general confidence inspired in our
financial condition, seems to justify the
opinion that we are prepared TO commence
and maintain resumption from and after
the LIST day of January, A. d. 1879"
The greatest danger TO successful re-
su nption is in the possible action of its
opponents in Congress. They may retard
or render the work more difficult by agi-
tating against it, creating uncertainty and
distracting public sentiment, but we doubt
il they will undertake TO demonstrate with
much power against it, There is 4 very
strong popular feeling in favor of geltin z
down to hard pan on the currency ques-
ton. and then to give the subject rest ,
so that confidence may have stable ba-
sis to build upon, and consequently in
crease and lead on to more and more ac-
tivity in business. This feeling will prove
a wholesome restraint upon mischievous
agitators. and greatly aid the Secretary in
carrying out his plans. We have full faith
that resumption of specie payments is GER
tainly coming and coming TO stay, and
that very soon we shall begin to feel the
approach of the much wished for revival
OF business.

WAsHINGToN, December 3.
The INVESTIGATION OF SOUTHERN POLIrICAL
OUTRAGEs.
Senator Blaue's resolution providing for An in
vestigation by committee OF the Senate into the
alleg ed violations of the right of sun age at the
recent elections, and for examination of the
power ci Congress to provide by additional legs-
lalon for the more perfect stcurity of that right,
received the approval OF the republican, senators
in their caucus this afternoon. 1t was amended
by providing that the investigation be made by a
special committee, instead OF the committee the
judiciary, and senator Blame will BE- chairman OF
that special committee. The democrats, at their
caucus, resolved to woe for the investigation, pro-
v ded II can be made to cover alleged intimidation
of voters at the North. TINS makes II certain that
the investigation will be made, and repub icans
from the Southern States assert that startling dis
closutes will be made.
The RESUMPTION QUEsTIoN
From the meeting of the House Baking aud
Currency Committee to- day, it is apparent that
the majority of that committee is not disposed to
do anything to embarrass the operations of the re-
sumption act; however firmly opposed, Tom Ew-
iug and few of his followers may be to the re-
sumption act they wl not he able to control the
committee. Indeed, it was practically decided to
day that any bills relating to the subject, which
might be reached the Speakers table or else
where, should be referred to the committee, with
the expectation that no action shall be taken.
This, at least, is the opinion of the hard mouey
members of the committee.

committed in South Carolina and other
