THE AMOUNT OF GOLD IN THE TREASUR¥—ITS AVAILABILITY AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR LEGAL TENDERS—REPUDIATION RATHER THAN RE- SUMPTION, New Yorx, March 1, li To Tux Eprror or tut Heratp:— On the 16th ult, the following resolution was intro- duced in Congress by Mr, Sayler, of Onio, and adopted: as ved, That the Secretary of the Treasury is hereby ort to this body, within ten days, the actual amount of gold owhed by the govérnment und available for e Fesumption of specie paym after deducting the mount of rest on wovernment bonds aud bonds ealled for the “siuking fund” to this date. The answer to the above has been waited for with much interest, because, on account of the continued discussion both by the press and Congress in rogard to the resumption of specie payments in 1879, it 18 most important to have the exact statement of our present condition, in order to know whether the country will be able to carry out the resolution, Mr, Bristow’s reply to Mr, Sayler’s resolution should have been made on Friday last, but, up to this time, it has been noticed by ouly two of our journals, which published what purported to be a sketch of the report, As Leonsider ale paper the most important of any in the country, I feel that itisa duty you owe your readers to furnish them with tho facts. ‘The following is THE OFFICIAL REPLY. ‘Tuxasuny Duvaxtaent, Feb, 24, 1878, Sin—In reply to the resolution of the House of Repre- seutatives of the 15th inst., requesting that the Secretary of the Trewsury: report within ten days “the actual amount lowned by the government and avuilable for the re- sumption of specie payments, after deducting the amount of gold certificates now outstanding, accrued interest on gov- Crument bonds and bonds ealled for the sinking fund to this date,” I have the honor to inform you that the re- ‘om Coin coupons. se and notes, certifient Sinking fund an Bouds redeemed and int Tnterest due and unpaid Outstanding bonds ealled for ‘siuking Outstanding coin certificates. Silver coin aud bullion, 78,645,004 Leaving the actual available gold coin owned by the government Vary respectfully. Bit! BRINE Hon. M. C, Ken, Speaker of the House of Ropuasacueltes, The reply, as furnished by Mr. Bristow, iz evasive and does not satisfy the refolution. On the 24th ult, the coin balance in the Treasury was reported as $78,000,000. In the above Ut is stated to be $91,000,000, bat you will observe that the items which tend to make the difference should not, by any mercantile system of bookkeeping, be counted as coinon hand. You will also notice that the item of accrued interest has been omitted; if it had been deducted in accordance with the demand, instead of the Secretary showing that he has $18,841,423 of gold on hand available for the re- demption in 1879 of $371,341,607 of greenbacks out- standing, as per statement Of January 81, that he would stond to-day short of gold to moet his liabilities by at Jeast $15,000,000, I cannot seo why, with such a condition of our finances, there should be the continued cry tor ‘no sai backward”? and the extinguishment of our green- currency. If the ‘greenbacks’’ should all be taken in and cancolied, and the stock of gold inthe country is not correspondingly increased, what kind of money available for the payments of debt—viz., legal tender—will be left to the people? From the date of the passage of the Resumption act, in 1875, the trade and commerce of the country has Mer We 23 4 | sharks’ used to infost as! been Btagnant and prostrate, and the continued dis- cussion of the idea and the growing knowledge of iis impracticability is tending day by day to bring abouta condition of aflairs which will make repudiation of the bonded debt more likely than the redemption of the greenbacks, lam sorry to write so much, but feel it is time for paid sa to disabuse the public mind from bea boi which now weigh-it down. 1am yours, ver fully, ONE OF THE P. OPLE THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, THE MONTHLY MEETING YESTERDAY— ELECTION OF NEW MEMBERS—THE SHIPPING AND BANK- RUPT LAWS.- ‘The usual monthly meeting of the Chamber of Com- merce was held yesterday afternoon, the President, Mr. Samuel D. Babcock, in the chair, After approving the minutes of last meeting the following named new mem- bers were elected:—Elijah Allizer, No, 120 Broadway ; Daniel H. Baldwin, No, 34 Pine street; John F, Halsted, No, 153 Broadway; George D, Nichols, No. 477 Broad- way; William Hall Penfold, No, 128 Front etreet; Ros- well Skeel, No, 107 Water strect; Edward A, Whitte- more, No. 346 Broadway, Mr. Elliot C, Cowdin reported it to be the sense of the Executive Committee that arrangements for the assembling of the National Board of Trade in this city next June be referred to the delegation already named by the Chamber to that body. This was agreed to, The same geutleman also submitted a resolution or- dering that a committee of five be appointed to pertect arrangements for the propor celebration of the 108th anniversary of the Chamber, The eM ‘was adopted and the Chairman appointed Messrs. J. Pierpont Mor- in, Elhot C, Cowdin, Henry F, Spaulding, Josiah M. Fiske and Goorge Wilson as such commities. Mr. Cowdin brought in a lengthy ies of résolu- tions opposing the repeal of the Bapkrupt law and re- affirming the declaration on this subject made by tho Chamber in 1874, but at the same time recommending that that part of the old law known as the “fifty per cent clause” should be restored. These resolutions were seconded by Nr. BR. H. McCurdy, who gave an ac- count of his labors at the national capital in aid of the paseage of the Bankrupt law. ment of a committee to draft amendments to the act, Mr. Yates moved and Colonel Conkling seconded a mo- tion that the resolutions be printed and laid on the table. The néw motion was not accepted, and the res- olutions were adopted. Mr, Sambel b.

Mr. Oorlies having announced that the mmitvee on Fina: report Colone! Conkling took the floor and read the paper submitied by Mr. Ruggles. The jatver gentie- Tan then said that by some strange process which he could not well understand the Resumption act of Co: ‘ess bad been left out of the Revi Statutes of t | United States; and he moved that a summary of the law, as it originally stood, be printed for the miorma- tion of the Chamber. ‘Messrs. Low, Ruggies and Conkling participated in a discussion of the laws govern- ing the currency. Colonel Conkling believed that the Thirty-seventh Congress was the last national legisla. tive body which had ,shown sufficient capacity to deal periy, with this important matter. After some Fare er discussion the paper was ordered to be printed. THR SHIPPING ACT. Mr. James W.

After some discussion the mover withdrew the proposi- tion till next meeting, AWNING ORDINANCE VETORD. Mayor Wickham sent in a veto of the ordinance relative to awnings, He contends that many ad_ ditional obstructions would be placed in the streets by the adoption of such a resolution.

THE LIBERTY STREET PERRY. The Committee on Ferries and Docks presented @ ‘series of resolutions relating to the ferry to Jersey City at the foot.of Liberty street, It is claimed by the Ald men that this ferry 1s ran without proper ordinances having been passed by the city authorities, The fol- ae was therefore passed in relation to the sub- ject :— Resolved, That the Counse! to the Corporation be and he is herewith requested and directed to report to this Bonrd why he should not institute the necessary legal steps to have the New Jorsoy Central Railroad Company enjoined to abstain from the further use of the property or franchises of this city, remove Its structures, sheds, ke, from the landing at the foot of Liberty street, North “hives, aud be sued for damages for the trespass comuitted during « number years, OTHER PERRIES.

Tho Mayor sent in a veto of the new Hack ordinance- In it he slates the general opinion to be that the! present rates allowed to drivers of hacks and cabs are oxcessive; yet that the proposed ordinance would still enhance them, and he deemed it not wise to take such action at a time when. all value and when unusual throngs of visitors our city, BULKHEAD WAZLS. ‘THE FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE MAYOR'S BOARD OF EXAMINING ENGINEERS ON OUR BULKHEAD WALLS. When General Ma@lellan took charge of the Depart- ment of Docks he inaugurated the using of beton blocks for the formation of submarine foundations for the granite bulkheads which were desigued for the im- proving of the city’s water front Under Gengral Mo7 Clellan’s direction these biocks were made in lumber. forms and cured in the air, so that before they were lo. cated in their positions in the foundation an adhesion of all the ingredients had taken place and they were impervious to tho action of the water. Later, General Graham succeeded General McClellan, and, with an idea of reducing the cost of building the bulkhead wall, he instituted » plan for the making ot the beton founda- tion under water and en masse By this plan it was hoped to bring the actual cost below the original estt-' mate by about bey kt) per cent, and with this under-, standing the work went on. Practical experionce demonstrated the fact that the new work was unstable and msecure, and to ascertain’ howthe difficulty could be remedied the Mayor: acommission of engineering experts to exam King and Canal street bulkheads report ings and recommendations back to him. The cominit- which was composed of General John Newton, General Qui Ro Gilmore and Mr. Northam, eid report, and all three emgage ‘acture which been ie reer the foot of King streot and the North River is not of! the character claimod. In several places the engineers” have found fissures, im some instances six feet ‘ having been probed to that distance with steel In many places the concrete, as it is called, crumbled; beneath the pressure of the hand, and’ large pieces were taken out with great, em The water in tho vicinity of the ments was so murky that the engineers were un-' le to satisfy their eyes in regard to many particulars which could not be investigated by the sense of fecling. To overcome this diificulty they caused to be made, under the direction of General Graham, an eight; np io beton or concrete block, the plan on whi becn formed the defective substructure under investi- tion. This block was allowed to remain under water jor about two months and was then ry colossal derrick and placed on the dock for the inspec- tion of the Board. It was found that there was no in tegrity in the block, that no adbesion had taken and that the thing’ was crumbling, Shortly after tho. block had been piaced on the dock the base of it began to fall apart and a large fissure was discovered in its side, This experiment demonstrated the u: ness oft the system of making blocks under water and con- firmed many of the theories which had been formed during the submarine investigation. This investigation was most timely, for had it not. been made the original plan of making the foundation, ofthe bulkhead wall from Grand street, East Riv around the Battery and up along the North River as far as Little Twellth street would have been carried out, TUR RECOMMENDATIONS. Tho examining engineers recommend that a plat- form be built behind the present section of the bulk-. | head wall, so.asto prevent the mud and concrete ‘All! ing from pressing against it and forcing it out-of place, | Uf course the plan of General Graham will be aban- doned In the work yet to be done, and the old air-cured | beton blocks, such as swpport the bulkhead wall at pier No. L North River, will be used in future.
