Ii is tru' lhnt it would be very pleasant to hiindlie the coin in e our daily business, and ilny at the low At prices which prevail when we have a C currency redemable at sight ill coin. , out tLheso pleasait dre'ams have serious obstacles in the way of their rvalization. r It is n0cessary to bear inl ndtiuI that, we 0 have Sotme $300,000,000 or moro of short dat oil Government liabilities, which loll duo within that time, and some three to five hundred millions of six per cent. bonds. which ar6 payable on this side inl coin, principal an1l interest. W hat would be the effeet of at rostitnption of specie payments in July, 1868, on Iiem ? .These bonds have cost the present hohiders on anl average not more than seventy per cent. of their par value inl gld, And we have (he privilege of redeeminiig the .hort dated paper in currency at mnaturi By. But if it i.3 once understoo-, that, by - holding on to them until July 1. 1863. the owiier can draw gold for their faco vatte,*is it likely that we will continua 14 fund them into a six per eeil. five. I weity bond, whose market viiie is only .iboit seventy-nine in goild? Anud ihow long could our banks and the Sill) Treas. niry continue to pay specie with ho large qtintity of tsix per cent. bonds always ait he dispo-al of the Bank of Eingland ? r Get the drain of $37,000,000 of our gold in May and June list answer I 11 the banks i Now York had been paying Ipecie at that time, they would have been compelled to stipenid payment. 'ithe two pre-rcqusites, thereforo, to a Ssafe resumption of specie payment.s are, first, to fland the $800,000600 ('f notes ilto bonds, and second, to convert, if po8sible, the six per ceit. bonds held in huarope itito five per cent "iterlig" bonds, or what is the samie ihing, into bonds whi'ch are payable, principal And interest) in the coin*q4 country .ill whi ch they are held. New can this b), done preo ions to J,;. lv, 1869 ? We think notc- We ato thiin-k that the less Mr. McCulloeb may say or promnise about resuming Acie . payments until after thiese obstacies are removed the better it ivill be for the ' country and himself. It may bo sani Lint, it is unreasonable to expect Etro. peans to give up their six per cent. t)bond, payable here, for the five per cents p tynble at hotie in their country ; blt we have numerous inniances of five per cent Steto bonds selling higher than tihe six per cent, homue bonds i the Euro pean market.

The prospect for the next session is very bad, as we learn fr-om various sources. Neithier capital nor labor from the Northern States or Europe is flowinig in~to the cotton region, but, a considorable pollion ofthat which was employed in the production of' cot ton in 1860 will be with~drawn. The politicail and financial policy of Congreco is hostile in every way to the cotton piodnet.
