The Question Of Resumption.

WASHINGTON, ID. G., March ga report
has been submitted to the House Committee
on Banking and Currency by the sub-com-
mittee, consisting OF Messrs. C%hittenden
and Ewing, which recently visited New York
City for the purpose Of ascertaining the
present condition Of the Sub-Treasury in
that city, with regard 10 the amount of gold
held there, belonging TO the United States
Government ndto others, ard with a view Of
comforting with certain financial gentlemen
with regard to the practicability OF the pro-
posed resumption OF specie payments on
January LIST next. The following are the
substantial points OF the report: The bank
err Were OF the opinion that resumption al
the earliest practicable moment was not
only consistent with the public welfare.
but was OF the greatest Importance TO the
best prosperity OF the country; also, that
resumption oil the LIST Of January, 1879.
might be made practicable and safe IL
adequate measures should be adopted, but
all who expressed themselves on the subject
were agreed that the plans OF the Secretary
Of the Treasury were inadequate, and that II
he should make an attempt 10 resume on the
LIST Of January under such circumstances as
were likely TO exist NJ that time, the attempt
would most probably fail. They were OF the
opinion also that the reconciliation OF sill
Yer had seriously interfered with the proba-
oilities OF resumption at the time fixed.
