CAPITAL NOTES.

Washington, March ga report has
been submitted to the house committee on
banking and currency. by the sub-commit-
tee, consisting of Messrs. Chttenden and
Ewing, which recently visited New York
City, for the purpose Of ascertaining the
present condition Of the sub-treasury Of that
city, with regard to the amount Of gold held
there, belonging to the United States gov
ernment, and to others, and with a view Of
comforting with certain financial gentlemen,
regarding the practicability Of the proposed
resumption Of specie payments, on January
lst next. Tnc following on the substantial
points Of the report.
The bankers were Of the opinion that re-
sumption at the earliest practicable moment
was not only consistent with public welfare,
but Was Of the greatest importance TO the
hest prosperity Of the country also that re
sumption on the first Of January, 1879,
might be made practicable and safe ii ade
qnate measures should be adopted, but all
who expressed themselves on the subject,
agreed that the plans Of the secretary Of the
treasury were adequate, and If lie should
make an attempt to resume on the lat OF
January, under such circumstances as were
likely to exit at that time. The attempt
would most probably fail They were ofthe
opinion also, that the reconciliation Of sill
yer had seriously interfsred with the pro-
liabilities Of resumption al the time fixed.
Washington, March 20.-Although moth
