the country upon the prosperity e.vlsting over 
the laud. The President tbiuks the best way of 
solving the Georgia muddle is to convene the 
original members of the Legislature and that 
none be admitted who are ineligible under the 
third clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. He 
advises the admission to Congress of the Virginia 
delegation; does not recommend nil immediate 
return to specie payments but does urge such 
legislation as will insure h gradual resumption- 
He would avail himself of the optional power of 
the Government to redeem bonds ns the slate of 
the finances admitted and would replace them 
with others bearing Tour or four and a half per 
cent interest, he would renew the income lux for 
three years at three per cent, lie does not think
