THE RESUMPTION LAW. The TipEN organ in this city comes to the rescus of the Henpniczs wing of tho party which is domanding the répeal of the resumption clouse of tho nact of 1875, Wo have shown that this not is inoperative and barren. Al that it is demanded, should bo roponled is the clause stating that on the 1st of January, 1870, tho legal-tenders should bo redeomed in coin, on demond, But the 1aw otherwiso made no efféctivo provision to enable the Bocretary of the Trensury to do 80, Tho mct, it is true, anthorized him to gell bonds of o class’ designated st parin coin, and uso the proccods. But thoso bonds aro the 4 nnd 44 per cent bonds, which' have never been salablo at par. The only use they conld boe put to, they being short bonds, is to mako them thirty or forty year bonds, and then thoy might be exchanged at parfor five-twenty bonds, which aro now at the op- tion of the Governmont. But thoy cannot be sold for gold ot par. The Becretary was also authorized to employ the surplus reve- nue, but the days of surplus revenue have passed away for an indefinite stay, Bo, ronlly, there is not, and has nover been, any provision made for the exeoution of tho mera declaration that the graenbacks should e redoemed in coln in Januury, 1879, Tho TiLDEN organ, however, contondy that this barron law lhas frightoned the banks into rotiring theircurrency throe years and moro in advance of the day of resumption. Tho reason why the banks bave given up n large portion of . their circulation is- the very simple and plain one that it has ceased to bo profitable. They find it more profitable to convert their bonds into ourrency at 120 to 124,” and do busincss with that, than tohave a circulation of 890 on the B100 bond, and pay taxes on the circulation, There are varions expenses, amounting toa Leavy tax, attondant on. bank circulation, and honce banks in all the large oities have surrendored their notea to tho oxtent tho law ‘pormits, and have withdrawn their bonds. Hod the cironlation beon profitable, these banks would nover have abandoned it three yoars or more in edvance of a most improba- blo ovent, Binco tho passage of the Resumption law silvor has become an object of special interest in financial matters, and there arc now two bills pending in Congress for the rocoiuage of tho historienl silvor dollar, and making it, 08 it had been for eighty years, a logal tender, Should sllver in this way bo restored, at its old standard wolght, ns alogal tender, then resumption, so for o8 the legal-tendor notes are concerned, will ba a matter of jndiffer- ence. Resumption in silver, immodiate and dircot, is now the spocial wncasure of tho very class in Congress which demands tho zepeal of the Resunjtion not, Looking at the Resumption ot in tho light of resumption in gold, tho law of 1874 {s barren aud inoperative, and will remain so; and the Demoaratio effost to maguify it into a mennce to business, and a threat to compel puyments in gold, is a miserable failuro. slightest valuo to the public, and generally without being heard of from one yonr’s end to tho other.

For fiftecn ycars Gen, TUTTLE has boen the most popular andinfluential Demo- erat In Towa. The General was a Douvoris ‘Democrat, and whon the War brokor out went into the Unfon army and fought his way high upla the ranks of fame.

The General says {n his speech that whilo he has always boena Domocrat, ho has not been one of the Copperhead or Confederato kind. The General hins been living along in Thope that tha Coufodorates would not attempt ngain to control the Democratic party, but their course in Congress duriug the Inst eight months has slarmed and disgusted him.
