The United States Trensury has on hand a coin balance of $220,000,000 with which* to undertako ond maintain tho resumption of specie-payments. Of this sum £200,000,000 is gold and 26,000,000 silver, besides subsid- iury coin amounting to $12,600,000. With such n stock of specio on band the problem of resumption mny be considarad as solved; and note-holders will be in no hurry to ox- change their paper currency'for the moro Lulky nd less convoniont coin. —— “There is o promising outlook of warm times nhead for tho Georgin Domocrnoy growing out of tho bitter war between Ben ML and Govw.

It is of considerably more consequencco to know who the persons wers who sigunod the names of Mr. Tirpen's confidential agents to the cipher dispatches, Legislative caucuses were invented and ars used to bind the action of the partisans who take part in them.

The day fixed for resumption of specio payments hns been reached, To-morrow tho national paper money becomes equivalent in value to coin, because it will be exchange. sble on demand for coin, Those who can remembor the first issne of these notes in 1862, and witnessed their decline in value as their number incrensed and the prospect for redemption was far away, bave reason to re- joice in the recovery of the national credit nud the return to roal values, Nearly four years ago, Congresa flxed the date for resumption, but, ovenof thosa who voted for the bill, many did so doubtful whether anch a result was possible within the time fixed, osud others did o knowing that Con- gress conld, and expecting that it wonld, bo compelled to postpone the date, No act providing for au immediate rosumption could bave passed Congress, and fixing the date at nearly four years' distance ‘was n wiso as well as n necessary provision, It prepared the publio mind for the possi. Vility of such an ovent; it 1ade the subjoct one for thoughtful popular consideration ; snd eventually edncated public sentiment to the point that if resumption were possible it would bo a wise thing to resume. I'wo theories have always existed in this conntry as to the mode of resumption. Mr. Cuasz thought, aird acted on the thought, that the way to redeom the legal-tonder paper was to retire it by funding it in bonds, and thus abaudon tho issue of paper money by tho Government altogether, 3Mr, Bugn- AN has nintained, however, the posmibil- ity of sustaining the pak vilue of tho green. backs, and therefore of redeewmning them on deannd and ssning them ogain, Present indications all point to the succoss of Becretary Bazaman's expectations, It must, however, be remembered that an extraordinary change has taken place in the commercial and productive intereats of the country. Our foreign trade, even before the ‘War, wasinsigoificant compared to what it has become of late years, When the War closed, it left us with'a dobt 50 unprecedont- ed in this country that the poustbility of paying it was ntrongly questioned at home and sbroad. Onr credit was wesk. Our onepies who hind anticipated the wreck of the Republio by war looksd forward to the destruction of the National Union by the overwhelming load of national debt. Ie. pudiation, Lowever, nuver becune a national soutiment, It was always opposed by the Nepublican party, aud found nd- vocatss only among those of tho Dumocrats who argued that the peopla would be dis- honest it the cpportunity offured, The Nu- publican party, thorefore, from first to Just, never wavered o ita purpose to maintain the uational credit and to eveutually poy the national debt, Tu 1870, following the Pub. lio-Orodit act, Congress made tho first step towards a substautial reduction of theburden of tho public dbt by authorizing the Secre. tary of the U'ressory to refund the outstand- ing Londy Ju Louds bearing u lower rate of interest. ‘This was preparatory, bLecuuse such uew bouds could not theu be negotisted, 'The panio followed, exploding our violeut systemw of speculation, aud forcing w reduction of expenditure, public as well a3 Judividual, ‘Chis onforced retreuchment also exploded practieally thq protective system of taxation, Mou could not buy for the want of mousy, and the production for the home market ceased to afford living-wages to labor. Ne. cemdity compelled productiod for a foreign warket, and a new era opened in our cow. wesclal business. Tustesd of buying heavily aod paying in bonds, we bogan the policy of buying less and selling more of our own products. Wo in this way accumulated large bulancex to our credit. The bonds of all kinds which we had sent abroad have Leen sent back; the gold interest we had been 50 mauy years remitting bas since re- mained at bowu; and flually, after getting back our bouds, the gold itsslf has beyun to fow juto the country, 'fhiy great clangs, which could not have been foreseen iu Mr. Cutasx's time, has continued uring “the life- time of the ResumpMop act. There iv more gold in the country at this time thau ot avy previous time jn our history, Wo- lave supplemented our supply of gold by thu coinage of silver, wlow and Luwited, it 1¥ Lue, but noverthuless adding to und iucreasing the coin supply. Our green- backs bave long since reached par in gold, Urevnbucks, silver, uud gold, bewg vow uil CIliCAGO TRIDUNE: T feceivable for duties, gold has no wpeehal office giving 1t a preminm over efther of tho other forma of money. In the meantine the margin of our exports beyond onrim- ports continues to incrense, We are the pro- ducers of food, and food ia ono of those esgontiale which the world must buy, no matter what clso hias to bo discontinned. Thus we have progressed—grown up o the level of specio payments. Tho Tressury will to-morrow offer to pny ont coin to who- over will tnke it in exchange for Treasnry- notes. Will the Treasury Deparimont be nbls to maintain it? 'The Treasnry.notes being exchangeablo for gold may beapplied to any purpose for which'gold can bousedin this country, They are receivable for duties on imports. If, therefore, thera be arun ou the, Treasury for gold, what are those who domand it to do with the gold when they get it? Itis not needed for exportation, because we have o vast surplus of exchange in our favor, It ia not needed for payment of dnuties, be. cause silver or greenbacks fs equnlly nseful for that purpose. The méh who draws £10,000 in gold from the Treasury to-mor- row can only depoait it in bank befora night, and when deposited it becomér part of the currency again, There mway be some mill- ious drawn out to bo honrded, and some other millions drawn out on specalation, but there Liag been no time within two yoars that thero hing not been an average of 10,000,000 of gold belonging to individuals on deposit in the Trensury. Itis questionable whother the run on the ‘Iroasury will, even at (I{c first, take out for all purposes more than £100,000,000, which when drawn out will satisfy, soy, o demand of 350,000,000 for currency purposes to be used in rmall transactions, and 10,000,000 to $20,000,000 for hoarding. In a brief time the rest will go back into the Treasury, and o represented by Trensury certificates,. which will become a part of the currency to bo used in large payments, With 50,000, 000 of gold coin, and the silver put into active circulation for all small transactions, thero 19 notning in the present condition of offaira or in the character of our foreign trade to render graenbacks in nny way loss desirablo in all forms of business transac. lious than the coin. In fact, Leing less bulky and more portable, less exposed to dangar, and even moro safo and convenient for hoarding, it is not unrensouablo to ex- pect thatin n very brief time greenbacks will be generally preferred to the coin in large payments, and that the coin itself will find ita way back into the Treasury, to bo exchanged there for negotinblo certifi- cates, ¢ The success of resumption will bring among it other blessings un extingnishment of the many wild and lunatic schomes for making * monoy " cheap, and plenty, and without value. ‘The country las beon deluged with quack nostrums,—** cure-alls " in the shupe of monetary schomes, oll of them seckiug to make monsy withont nny money init. The fiat delusion will receive ita quietus, and, though a generation has grown up since the time when coin was the general onrreucy of the country, popnlar in. telligonce will soon recognize in coin cur- rency, and the paper oxchaugenbls for coin, the great deliverance which hns beon ac- complished after so long a period of irre- deemablo sud depreciated currency. A GERMAN VIEW OF THE SENATORIAL CONTEST. = Mr. Henuman Raster, editor of the Strats. Zeitung, is showing a disposition to take o part 1o tho Sonatorfal contest. A leading’ article in that journal of yesterday “$ald a good deal inferentinlly and by implioation, though not taking a utand outright in favor of any ono of the candidates. It began by drawing special nttention to the fact that the Republicans have n'majority of only five or six on joint ballot, and then added that * jf ouly four or five Republicans should refuse obedience to the dictates of the caucus, it would be very ugly {3 the *rogular’ can- didates.” The pointed reference to thia con. dition of thinge would seem to intimate that no one candidato can afford to carry matiers with a high band, and set out with the ulti. matam that Ae 1ust bo the elect or no Republican shall be chosen. ‘This intima- tion 1 subsequontly strongthened by the remark that “*Such a Landful of bolters,” in caso they shunld hold togother, conld neceasitate the choico of another candidato (a *dark horse,’ as ke is,called in partisan vernacular), and thereby destroy all the lLiopes of (ke aspirants who have entered the Lsta.” ' 2 After these significant remarks, the Staats. Zeitung proceods to devoto most of its atten- tion to the proapects of Mr, Ciarcrs B, Fan- wLL 88 the most conspleuons **dark horse in the race. It construcs a recent formal declaration made by that gentlemnn, to the effect that the offico of Benator is ons * which sliould not be sought nor declined,” to mean that he is now an avowed eandidate. It also thinks it Lins diseovered in 'Tne Tninone's articles an intention to advocata the olaims of Senator Ocrysvy meroly ns a cover to strongthen Fanwwa'v chauces, 'The only reazon it gives for this conclnaion ls, that it has fouud more about Fanweer in recent gonsip retailed in Tk ‘Urtpunk coloman than ubout Oaresny, It iguorek the fact that ‘e THinune, a8 8 uewspaper, prints the news aud tho talk of the day, aud that Mr, Fanrwern bar become miore prominent os a cundidate withiu & week or two thau boforg, and hence Lis presence in the contest nt. tracty more attention. What Tuz Tusuwy hus had to say, however, about the fitness sud cluims of Benator Oufesuy for re-elec tion has been in no wise uncquivocal, ard it ths Republican members of the Legislature were governed solely by wha® bas appeared in the.golumuns of this paper, they would proceced to Qorzsny's election without further strife, In giving Mr, Panwesn speclal promi- nence, the Staats-Zeitung is evidently fol lowing the pyeferences of its conductors. ‘This inference is unavoldable from ita com. menta on Mr, Farwrru's recent rove- latious about Locax'y obstinate pross- img of Lix own claims (wo yesrs ago wlen thoy were hopeless, and his personal responsibility for the fallure to eloct u Ite. publican at that time.
