Presentation of such obligacior for payment elsewhere will be met with the offer of legal tenders or coin checks on the a sistant treasurer at New York. No demand ix gold for interest will be met elsewhere than tn New York. By not commencing resumption outside of New York and not paying interest fr gold at any other point, and_ having $1 in gold at New York, it Js evident that any speculation that could be effective would iave lo be so gigantic as to make its formation alino: outsice the range of possibility. ANOTHER IMPORTANT MEASURE inaugurated by the Treasury department to-morrow will be the recetpt of lezal-corder notes for customs duties. This does away with the principal objection to resumption ai only one point. When it was krown that New York. was to be the oniy city where resumptl to be practically carried out, the me oth places n to get frightened. would, U. at, by law their customs duties in gold, and consequently thought that the demand for’ gold for this pur- ose Would keep that coin a little above green- acks, when they could not get the gold for their legal tenders immediately. The Secretary or the Treasury has, however, taken the matter in hisown hands, and has directed collectors of customs to receive legal-tenders for duties. itis claimed by some that he violaies the in so doing; that he violates the law direc! that all Customs duties shall be paidin coin. TI Secretary has, however, made provision fo. his. The law will be satistied in this way: Col- lectors of customs will receive Jegal-tenders for duties. Tie amount received by them will be urneé into the ‘Treasury, and the collectors will be credited not with having forwarded so many legaltenders, but so much gold. ‘That is. the collector will send forward the legal-tender notes which he receives for duties, and the ‘Treasury will simply redeem them by placing a like sum of gold to the collector's credit. ON AND AFTER TO-MORROW IN THE TREASURY ACCOUNTS all distinction between gold, silyer and lezal tenders will be abolished, They will all be treated as *lawfulimoney.” In this connection, subscriptions to government bonds can bs made in notes. The only loan now being pi a in the four percent. A circular of the depart- ment going into effect to-day, announees that hereafter any one taking these bonds can pay for them in legal tenders. The practical efect of this will be the calling in more rapidly of the six per cent, fve-twenty bonds. The proceeds of the sale of four per cents. 1s used to call in ihe five-twenty sixes; and notes being rec i for four per cents, the subscriptions will be greatly increases was ants of They stil have to pay thoug vy, provides that ndard silver dollars will be sent free of uspertation in sums of $1,000 and upward muili'p'es to $10,000 to any person upon his Piacng at a U.S. depository a like sum of | greenbacl This circular will give the first | opportunity of truly testing whether the people take the sliver dollar. Hitherto the re- riions upon the issue of silver have been such as to discourage to some extent, its cireu- lation arione the people. It would S-em that the coin will go out readily from the large number of orders already at the Treasury to be Med ander the conditions of the circular to- morrow, NEW NOTES. With resumption will appear the new $5,090 and $1,000 notes just printed. ‘These notes are or convenience, and Will take the place df tive coin cert walen already bee to Comptroiier Knox, rea : Many of them have reduced their ci culation, and ailof them have been gathering gold.

If it is not sufiicient, the hanks can call on the government to redeem the legal- tender reserve which they have on hand, and thus get more gold. Each bank is required to keep in reserve a certain amount of U.S. legal tenders, This amount varies according to the locality of the bank. An amount equal to twenty-tive Per, cent. of its cirentation Is the lowest legal tender reserve that any bank has on hand.” From this it goes upwards. WHAT IS TO BE DONE WITH THE NOTES RE- ‘The notes redeemed by th he notes redeemed by the government will not be destroyed. The act of May Bist, 187s, which Congress passed only because it’ over. estimated the greenback stren; hin the coun- try, provides that “it shall not be lawful for the Secretary of the Treasury or any officer unt him to cancel or retire any more of the ws. legal tender notes; and whenever any of said notes may be redeemed or may be received into the Treasury under any laws, and shall belon: to the United States, they shall not be reti canceled or destroyed, but they shall be re. issued and paid owt again and kept in cireula- toi Any one who thinks that the Secretary of ‘Treasury is going to stand on the Treas- ury steps and bundle out lezal tenders as fast as they are redeemed is greatly mistaken. The Secretary can only pay them out for current obligations of the government. That is where the spirit of the law above quoted from is de- feated. The notes redeemed will not be de- stroyed. but they will be paid out only for the current expenses and disbursements of the goy- elnment. LOOKING AHEAD. ‘Lhe resumption of specie payments is a fixed fact. The problem behind mere resumption is one of equal importance; will resumption be maintained? The outstanding redeemable cir- culation of the Treasury is in round numbers about $346,000,000, The gold held by the Treas- ury fs fully equal to 40 per cent. of that amount. Every one, trom the Secretary down, is conil- dent that this suin is fully sufficient to maintain the equality of gold and the greenback. There is going to be no rush for the gold. ‘The “fever” will take out, it is estimated, about $50,000.00, The Treasury wouid prefer to have as much as that In circulation, believing it will help sustain Specie payments.

The reports that she had gone mad are unfounded. and she is quite as sane as she was on the day of the un- happy tragedy.
