The act to incorporate the subscribers to the
Bank OF the United Sta es does not itself ex-
pre- by any positive clause of limitation but it
IS enacted by the Sd section of the act that The
SUBSCRIBERS shall be corporation and body poll
tic, and so continue until the 9TH day of Mar h,
1911. It's presumed that some means will be
devised either by government or by the bank,
whereby the debts due to and from the corpora
ton may be collected after that day So far as
relates to the Treasury deposits, no inconveni-
ence can arise, as, in any event, the loan obtain
ed from the institution is sufficient pledge for
their payment But doubt may arise, from the
manner in which the act is expressed, whether
under the 10th section, the bank notes still III
circulation will not continue to be receivable in
all payments to the United States. The propri-
ETY. OF some provision which may remove every
doubt on the subject. or otherwise prevent the
Inconvenience resulting from that construction
OF the act, is respectively suggested.
