BANKING CAPITAL.
Mr. Watkins, from The select committee on Inc SUD-
cc of increasing the Banking Capital of the State, re-
ported the bill upon that subject: will, substitute
The Clerk commenced reading the su'stu'r-whrn
MIR GKEGnrY Observed that he supposed the Substitute
was in conformity h the Instructions ven the COM
ni,tcc by the House. and it unnecessarily therefore,
to read the bill. He thought the sense OF u" House
might be as we'll tested now after the reading "i the
bill lie therefore moved the indefinite pos'P"nc"rnt
of tho bill and substitute.
MIR. said the bill was framed IN conformity
to the instrrcliuns with slight notifications Mr.
W. then explained the provisions o: the bill at some
length.
GIr. Boris opposed The bill, on thr ground that il did
not meet the wishes Of the people, ana That would ope
rate strengthen the existing banks without extending
much benefit 10 tho public
MIR UoiLEMAS said he had voted for the indefinite
nos,noucncn of the former bill; he against the
tension Of banks, but he believed that such Institutions
must exist although they ought to lie placed under am
Die restrictions. He o.d against the indefinite
pos,ponencn and he should also vote for this BILL 1t he
could succeed il amending hereafter
Mr. CrAIG said he opposed 10 the o:ll, hut he
should vote against tho indefinite pos poncmrnt because
he thought something ought TO be dvne and had he hopes
the bill would DC atncndcd
Mr. Bows Of Petersburg, objected TO the I'LL upon
various grounds and particularly alluded 10 tic Pror
sion made in for the town OF Petersburg, Zone hum
drrd aud fifty thousand dollars OF aadIll"nal cap'ta
He said he should against thr Indefinite postpone
nen with the hope that lie should IN able 10 indncc the
House t., amend tic substitute, as to give an df
pendent bank to Petersburg with capital OF! 5C':G'o
dollars Mr.. 3 said he had received letter from re.
crsburg and the proceedings Of recent meeting in That
