nesumption-Possibilify of a Rise In
Prices After January LIST.


The Rank OF England maintains its i'm
mense paper circulation at par upon one
hundred and seventeen million seven hun
bred thousand dollars of gold; the Bank Of
Germany does the same thing upon a gold
coin basis OF only one hundred and four
teen million seven hundred thousand dol
lars. The United States Treasury controls
about one hundred and forty million dol
lars OF gold coin, and is equally MS able to
resume specie payments and hold the
position as England and Germany. These
facts give further assurance that the LIST Of
January will bring complete resumption
Of specie paymentsin this country.
With rcsumptiona practical certainty,
il is well to take into account the imitation
ofthc currency which must result from the
bringing out OF the gold now in the Ma
tional Treasury, the bank vaults and pr.
va,e cotTGrs. Taking all the iacts into COIL
sideration, it appears certain that after
January 1st, there will be added to the cir
ruating medium OF the country quite il
not fully two hundred million OF dollars Of
gold. II is reasonable to anticipate, pro-
vidcd always that resumption can be sue
ccssfully maintained, a considerable rise
in prices. This change must be gradual,
however, as 1t can only take place along
with the general revival Of business actiyi-
ty. This point should be noted by those
who have been decrying tho resumption
act as scheme Of the "gold bugs" to de-
press prices and ruin the debtor classes.

TIE sale Of the NIingo Iron Works comes
of to-day at the Court House in Steuben-
willie. Among the many rumors that have
been aaoat in regard to the probable dis
position OF the property, is one tothc effect
that Alex Swift, Of Coyington, n.y., will
probably BIO the purchaser, and also that
il he succeeds in buying it he will remove
his Iron and Steel Works ut Coyington to
NIingo. This last suggestion does not look
very probable. 1t is understood that .
syndicate in this immediate vicinity have
had in view tho purchase Of the property
provided il should so low enough. As to
what would be low for such aproperty at
time like this is something that nobody
can find out. 1t is quito possible that the

As rHR Legislatures are assembling, the
question OF employing the AloGett bell
punch as a means. Of revenue comes up
again for discussion. A, bill has already
been introduced into the Georgia body for
its adoption in that State, as support OF
the public school system. In st. Louis,
also, the subject is being agitated, but a
committee Of The city government reports
agains. such a tax. It would not be de-
rived from luxurics, they claim, since al
coholic liquors, and especially beer, have
come to be an important element in the
diet Of many families. The punch has now
been in successful use for II months in
Virginia, and It has raised revenue OF
s12,13C in Richmond alone during that
time. A comparison of figures, however,
shows such falling OF in receipts from
last year as suggests growing evasion OF
the law.

Correspondence Of the IntellIgeneer.
The GAINESVILLE District Conference be-
gan its semi.annual meeting in the NJ. L,
Church, in this .placc to-day. As this is
comparatively something now in the
economy OF this church, it seems to elicit
much enquiry as to its nature. 1t is com
posed OF the travelling and local preachers,
the exhortcrs, the district stewards and
one Sunday School Superintendent and
one class leader from each pastoral charge
in the district.
III full attendance is had here VIC will
have in our midst, for three days, about
sixty earnest christian workers whose
deliberations and opinions cannot fail TO
be OF interest 10 any thinking mind. The
business meetings are presided over by
the presiding elder. The conference has a
general oversight OF all the temporal and
spiritual affairs OF the district, 1t inquiries
into the characters and usefulness OF the
local preachers and exhorters, hears and
disposes OF any complaints against those
peThUHst luhkth Recommendations W TIC
Annual Conference OF such MS are found
worthy for higher orders. Interspersed
with the business are such literary exer-
cies as the presiding elder thinks best to
direct. These exercises consist OF essays
on chosen subjects, addresses, &c. These
are subject to general criticism, we have
been thus particular in setting forth the
nature OF this Conference because so many,
even OF the members OF the church it rep
rcsents, are ignorant oiit. We believe IN
attendance on the sittings OF this body
will prove not only interesting but bene-
fetal to any one. On Wednesday evening
will be Sabbath School anniversary, on
which occasion topics interesting to all
workers in this direction will be discussed.
Owing to the latcness OF the holir at
which the preachers could reach our city.
no session ofthe Conference was held to-
day. OF the evening session wewill speak
again. JED.

discussion Of tho northern newspapers

threat Of a united North 10 oppose the
South as "a cry more alarming than the

Norton II denies that the South wants

says: at known and understood in the

Of the country is more interested than the
South in having convertible currency Of
absolutely stable value. There are no
Kearneys and Butlersin the South. There
are as many GreenbacE inaniacs in any
one western State as in tic whole South. :"
II asserts that the South does not expect
any inorlinate grants for works OF public
improvement, but desires only to be placed
on equal footing with the North in regard
to such appropriations. OF the race. ques'
