The resumption question sums up and determines more valuable interests than have ever hinged on a single act of Congress; if it succeeds every business enterprise will have a steadier career, every investment a firmer value.

The bank note are better secured and safer by far than greenbacks, as the one is secured three-fold by United States by the paper discounted, for which the notes are paid out, and by individual liability; while the other is only the indefinite promise of Government, liable to the whims of Congress. Q.Do yon then thint the true policy is to use Government notes entirely and retire greenbacks? A. I do, and I think the further removed the issue of eurrency is put from Congressional action, except to make safeguards, tne better.

Q. Do you think a bimetallic currency can be maintained? A. I do not believe a large volume of gold and silver coin can be maintained together at par with each other, especially when a new one is worth so much more than the other. If a gold dollar's worth of silver was put in each silver dollar they would go 6ide by side until some great change iu value should occur by reason of increased production of one of them. Q.

Do you. then, prefer gold over silver, even then? A. I do; because gold is more portable, more indestructible, and in all civilized lands mora valuable, besides being the eurrency of the most commercial nations. I cannot see why we should adopt the poorer, the more inconvenient, currency as the measure of value. We are, I think, as deserving of the best as anybody.

The change fails to meet the approval ot a majority of the battalion, who prefer to retain the title that has been honorably borne tor twenty-six years, ithout a stain. The ranks of the "Old Guard" have always been filled from the best citizens of St. Lonis, and on the field of battle and in private life its members have been known as fearless and honorable soldiers. Whatever the technical designation by the Adjutant-General is, it is not likely the old title will be dropped by the boys. MUSTER OF THE CLANS.

If we must have it further, then put more silver in the dollar to make it equal to gold, and not ask the people toliave two currencies far apart in value. MR. JAMES E.

TEATMAN, president of the Merchants' National Bank, felt no uneasiness. "There is," 6aid he, "no prospect whatever of any difficulty in resuming soecie payments, as It has really been don already. We are able to redeem all the notes we have outstand vest either in legitimate business pursuits or in property. Confidence after all is the great lever in the problem of resumption, and I trust there may be no legislation calculated to embarrass the accomplishment of successful resumption." MR. AVM.

NICHOLS, cashier of the Commercial Bank, did not believe the operation of the resumption law would affect St. Louis banks in the least. "Has your bank made any special preparations ior it?" "None at all. We do not need to make any. We have no notes to redeem, and I do not see what there is for us to do." "What do you think of the action of the New York bankers?" "I think it was foolish; in laet, 1 think they made asses of themselves." "How are you going to treat silver?" "We will be obliged to treat silver just as lawful money, just as any other money.

I do not see How we can help ourselves. As to the resumption of specie payments, we have already practically resumed, and we will not know the difference niter the law has gone into effect." MU. JOHN NICKERSON, eashierof the St. Louie National Bank, does not anticipate any trouble. "The Eastern bankers," said he "have been rather nervous about resumption, but so far as I know, the banks in the West have no uneasiness whatever.

We have made no particular preparation except, perhaps, to order a little more coin to meet a possible demand from our correspondents. I think we shall glide into specie payments without knowing it. I do not believe that the people will care for gold is fact, they will prefer paper as a matter of convenience, just as they always hav done, providing, of course, the paper i as good as coin." MR. S. E.

HOFFMAN, president of the Valley National Bank, regards resumption as an accomplished fact already, and he does not think any preparation necessary. 'There will be no change, then, in hacking circles':" "Why should there be auy? None is needed. We shall go sdiead and redeem what notes we have oat, if they are presented. We always keep enough legal tenders on hand for that What will be the general effect upon here." The union of the Tost with the Dispatch, which was decreed by immutable destiny nearly a year ago, takes place to-day under circumstances which render the paper one of the best established among the newspapers of the country. It represents all the features which have gained for the Tost that favor hich it has enjoyed and the valuable privileges and good will which have made the Dispatch indispensable as a basis of evening Journalism in St.

To ascertain what the feeling is iu St. Louis, Evenino Post reporters were detailed to interview nil the prominent local bankers and brokers, gentlemen who control and direct the money market of the Future Great. What these gentlemen, who, both from position and experience, speak with authority on the mat ter, think of the resumption act, is evidenced below. There is a strong and unanimous feeling in favor ot resuming, and but very remote apprehensions of difficulty in carrying the law into effect. All concur in a strong emdorsement ot the act.

MS. C. B. GRF.ELET, president of the Provident Savings Institution, stated that he was heartily in favor of resumption, and that he entertained no fear but that it could be practically adopted. He did not anticipate any serious results from the fact that the Government only has $150,000,000 in coin with whteh to redeem nearly J350.000.000 of paper, owing to the fact that the Government will have the co-operation of two or three of the largest money centers in the country, beside the option ot using silver for redemption purposes, and the power to sell 4 per cent bonds.

He did not believe that resumption would cause any great commotion, but that it will tend to remove the present unsatisfactory state of things and prodace a ceneral con ing four times over.
