in Farweli Hall last evening, under tho
auspices OF tho Honest Money League, Re-
sumption was naturally tho thcme for lis
discourse, and the treatmont OF the subject
will be found to bo largely historical. Tho
opening OF tho now year marked tho close Of
a peculiar epoch, which Gen. GAnY1E1D
characterizes M ''the most memorable OF our
history since tho birth Of tho Union" FL
nnncially and commercially. and In somo re-
gpsota politically, tho cntire period Of the
last seventeen years may bo regarded a.
war epoch, for It was ouly In experiencing
tho revulsion from the imitation aud specula-
ton that grow out Of the War, In living down
the etfects Of the Panic, md in restoring tho
worlds common donominstor OF vaiues, that
tho Influences and effects Of tho War could
bo eHaced. Tho Termination Of this remark-
able epoch, therefore, Is properly marked by
tho resumption Of specie payments. This
was tho view taken BY Gen. GARFIELD, qnd
1t suggested m epitoms Of tho Chief charao-
toristics of tho period from which tho coun.
try has just emerged. An Intelligent md
rozacioua revisw Of thsso conditions is cal
