PROPOSED RESUMPTION.
Prominent Financiers Suggest
January Next
As the Proper Time, Provided Adequate
Measures be Adopted.

Washington, March ga report
has been submitted to the House COM
mittee on Banking and Currency by
the subcommittee, consisting of Crit
tenden and Ewing, which recently Wis
tied New York city for the purpose of
ascertaining the present condition of
the sub-Treasury in that city, and in
regard to the amount of gold held
there belonging to the United States
Government and to others, with view
of concurring with certain financial
gentlemen regarding the practicability
of the proposed resumption of specie
payments on the first of January next.
The bankers were of the opinion that
resumption at the earliest practicable
moment was not only consistent with
the public welfare but was of the great
est Importance to the best prosperity of
the country, also that resumption on
the first of January, 1879, might be
made practicable and safe if adeouatc
measures be adopted. All who ex-
pressed themselves on the subject were
agreed that the plans of the Secretary
of the Treasury were inadequate, and
that if he should make an attempt to
resume on the first of January, under
such circumstances as were likely to
exist at that time, the attempt would
most probably fail. They were of the

Nominations Refused,

Washington, March 29.-The Senate
Thursday, in executive session refused
to consent to the nomination of Rey-
nolds, of Alabama, First Auditor of
the Treasury, and ex-Gov. Parsons, of
Alabama, District Attorney for the
southern district of that state. Motions
to reconsider the vote in these cases
were entered by Dawes, in behalf of
Parsons, and by Paddock, in behalf of
Reynolds. The effect of this action
will be to hold these nominations in
suspense and continue the present in
cumbents in Office until the motions for

A Spunky Russian.

Paris, March pa correspondent
at Vienna has had an interview with
Ignatieff, who has not despaired of the
meel ing of the congress. Ignatieff said
that England, by entering the Sea of
Marmora in violation of the treaty of
'56, had placed her in difficult posi-
tion, out of which she is endeavoring
to extricate herself in such manner as
would save her. She consequently puts
forward unacceptable demands, but
he Russians will stay before Constan-
tinople so long as the British fleet re-
mains in the Sea of Marmora.

ENGLAND and Russia are evidently
preparing for war. The presence of
the Russian torpedo ships in the Bos-
phorus signifies Russia's intention of
resisting the passage of the English
fleet to the Black sea, which is to all
intents and purposes Russian lake.
If the English could force the Bospho-
rus they would command the Russian
line Of communication between their
southern post and their armies, and
the tedious route by the Danube and
the Balkans would be their only re-
source. England has placed squad
ron of iron-clads in the sea of Marmora
and another squadron in the Dardan-
elles, and has made arrangements to
build Il railroad at short notice on the
south side Of the strait. The ap.
pearances are that England is prepar-
ing to seize and hold Gallipoli.

General Sherman's Reply to Don P,at,'s
Charges.

Washington, March 29.-Gen. Sher-
man has answered Don Piatt's charge
that he crowded Colonel Worthing
ton out of the army. In card pub
lished to-day, he shows that Colonel
Worthington was dismissed after
trial by officers and approval by Presi-
dent Lincoln, because of drunkenness.
He makes vigorous denunciation of
Piatt personally, and says regarding
his alleged expression that Banning is
damned idiot, he never used the ex-
preston, and says that he sees some
good and some bad things in the army
bill. which will probably be arranged in
accordance with propriety by the pres
ent Congress.
