RESUMPTION.
How it Works in New York-Ths Gold Spec

New YORK, Jan. g Flags are flying
everywhere, because of resumption, yet
there is nothing at the treasury, banks nor
at any of the exchanges to make the day
different from ordinary. Special arrange
ments, sufficient to meet any demand, had
been made at the sub-treasury to pay out
gold for legal tender notes. The clerks in
charge Of the new department expected to
be very busy, but they had very little to do
even to the close of the days business.
Reports from the leading banks agree
that the amount OF gold coming to them is
larger than the amount going out Neither
the banks in domestic or foreign transao-
tons, nor foreign bankers, nor even spec
ulstors, make any difference to-day he
tween gold and legal tender national bank
notes. In the gold room the dealings in
gold have given away to dealings in United
States bonds, the latter being all the BUSH
ness now done in the hall,

presented gold certificates answered the
clerks question Gold or greenbacks? p

Senators Patterson, Garland and Gro
yer, who, 10 behalf of the senate committee
on territories, have concluded an inquiry
into the condition of affairs in the Indian
territory, will be ready next week to re-
port to the full committee. They have
agreed TO recommend the enactment Of
Legislation by congress which shall pro-
vide, first, for tho establishment of a
United States court 10 the Indian territory,
to possess both criminal aud civil juris-
diction; second, that all Indians compris-
log the Five Nations shall be made citi-
zens OF the Unitdd States. amenable TO
FEDERAL laws. aud competent to serve on
juries in United States courts, etc.; third,
that the land now held 10 common shall
be divided aud held in severally but ina
llenable for limited term of years. The
sub committee do not at present recon.
mend the establishment by congress of a
regular territorial government for these
Indians, but provide merely that they
shall be entitled to representation by a
delegate. The sub committee will prob
ably advise the insertion in the proposed
bill OF a proviso that the conditional land
grants which various railroad companies,
desiring the settlement of this territory,
have announced themselves willing to re-
linquish shall be formally relinquished.
The recommendations OF the sub-com-
mittee will probably be endorsed by the
majority of the full committee, but the
entire project of legislation is strenuously
opposed by the authorized legal represen-
tative of the FIVE Indian nations.
