EXCHANGF-COMAENTs OF THE REv. JOSEPH
COOK on rHE SUCCESS OF HONEsT MONEY.
Resumption of specie payments was for
maly accomplished yesterday. The United
States Sub Treasury could not get rid of gold,
and its receipts exceeded the payments by
$2Gs,OOO. over 100000 was paid at the
Custom House in legal-tender notes on ac-
count of duties. The banks were called
upon for gold only in small sums,
and gold and currency accounts were consOl-
idated. The event was celebrated by a Ma
tionai salute and the display of flags from
Government and financial buildings. Tho
Gold Room was closed, and the Gold Clear
ing Department was abolished. The Chamber
of Commerce passed resolutions warmly eulo-
gizing Secretary Sherman for his efforts in tho
work The Rev. Joseph Cook spoke on the
Brilliant financial victory. There was no ex-
element over resumption at Washington. The
amount of gold paid out by the Treasury and
the banks was insignificant. The President
and Mr. Sherman were much pleased at the
advices from New-IOrk.
