FINANCIAL MATTERS.
Geo. y. Coe OF N. Y, Before the House
Committee on Banking and Currency.

WASHINGTON, April &c. Geo. s. Coe, President
OF the American Exchange Bank OF New York,
was before the House Committee on banking and
currency, to-day, several hours. In answer to =
question by the chairman, (Buckner) he stated
that at the time Of the passage of the resumption
act, in 1870. it was his own opinion and that of
the banking community generally. that the law
contemplated the retirement and cancellation of
all legal tender notes that should be presented at
the treasury. There was no such idea Is that the
Secretary Of the Treasury had authority las he
now clsims) to go on re-issuihg them, up to the
limit OF $500, 000, 900. He did not regard that
construction of the law, however, as q hindrance
to resumption, because the laws Of trade and CON-
merce would keep in circulation only the amounts
of paper currency that be adapted to the wants OF
the country, and which he put at S400, 000, 900.
In reply to question by Mr.. Phillips whether
he wonld not consider it great calamity for the
government to undertake resumption and fail in
the attempt, he said on the contrary it would be
better that an attempt be made and should fail,
than that it should lot he made at ALL because in
the former case the public mind would be kept
fixed on specie basis of prices, whereas in the
latter case everything would be in doubt and I'M
certainty and capital would be withdrawn from
euterprlsc.
