Correspondence. OF tn. Gold Hill Dali, s.-'.i

WASHINGTON, Dec. 30. 1878.
The arst day Of the approaching New
Year being q legal holiday. all the pub
lie Offices, including that Of the Assist
an, Treasurer at New York. will. accord.
ing to custom. be closed. Hence. the
formal resumption Of specie payments
will not occur at the exact period pro-
vided by the Resumption Act. January
lst. Treasurer Gilhllan. referring to
this point to-day. observed that one day
would make but very little difference.
especially as gold and paper had been at
par with each other for nearly . Tort
night, during which time the banks were

From the Treasury and paying 1t out.
Mr.. Gil6llan also remarked that ade-
quats measures had been adopted to
meet the increased demands upon the
clerical force OF the Sub-treasury at New
York, and additional tellsrs had been
appointed 40 that the work OF rsdsmp.
ton . would proceed smoothly and
promptly. He does not anticipate q
very brisk run on the Treasury. and
treats with dsrision the IN that have
been current for some time past to the
effect that q combination Of speculators
has been formed for the purpose Of en-
HANGING the price Of gold after January
LIST aud making resumption q failure.
Mr. Gilhllsn regards ii as an utter i'm.
possibility for any set Of Spectators to
collect enough legal tenders to exhaust
the coin redemption fund OF tho Govern
ment.
NO SPECIAL sEssios.
The outlook now is that there will not
DO any special session OF the ~Forty-siI'h
Congress, nor will the necessity exist
for the converting Of the Senate in q.
traordinary session. No serious conflict
between the two Houses is apprehendsd
on any Of tho appropriation bills, and
the only other contingency for . special
session OF Congress, or even IN extra
ordinary session Of the Senate, would be
the failure to confirm some important
nominations. Thus far the President
has met with NO serious antagonism In
the confirmation OF his appointments,
and outside Of the New York appoint.
ments none 10 expected. and even should
these be rejected, II il not believed 1t
would constrain the President to call q
special session for the purpose Of con.
tirmiug whatever nominations he might
subsequently, send TO the Senate.
TIL. GERMAN MISSION.
The President stated this morning. In
private conversation. that there seemed
to be no special urgency in filling the
German mission. He mentioned that
there are three candidates In Psnnsyl-
yapia-Hartranit, Grow and Baker. and
three in New York. without naming
them, together with rs many more scat
tered in other States. Further than this
he was silent, but the belief prevails In
other quarters that Secretary Evarts will
