Mr.. MURDAUGH said, that as the
subject of an increase of the banking
capital of the State would probably be
one of the most interesting and impor-
tant which would come before the
House during the present session, and
az it was essential 10 considering it to
look to all parts Of the State from
which application would be made, he
had thought it better that general
Committee should be appointed to take
the subject into consideration, than to
select separate committee upon each
of the petitions. He had therefore
prepared resolution for the appoint
ment of such committee, which he
would now submit. He knew it was
generally matter Of courtesy to place
the mover Of such proposition at the
head of the committee proposed. But
it was not his desire that the rule should
be observed on this occasion on the
contrary, it was his wish that soma
gentleman OF greater experience in "
gislation as well as banking, should be
made the chairman. Mr.. M. then Of
fered the following resolution, which
was adopted:
Resolved, That Committee Of
twen,y.one be raised on the subject Of
increasing the banking capital Of this
Commonwealth, aud that said Com.
mittee take charge of all applications,
on that subject.
On motion Of Mr.. HUNTER Of b.

Mr.. DoRMAN said, he should prefer
that the resolution be separated, and
