INCREASE OF BANKING CAPT
TAI.


The Select Committee Of the House
oil Delegates. on the subject Of Increasing
the Banking Capital of the Common.
wealth, has determined to report bills
Tor the incorporation of Bank at each
OF the following places. viz. : Norfolk,
Lynchburg, Petersburg and Richmond !:
and to increase the capital of the exist
ing Banks, making provision for the es-
enlistment OF several new branches.
and Tor an increase Of the apita of mos,
OF those already established. 1t is pro
posed to give Slaunton branch of the
Valley Bauk, with capital of $500
uUo. RESTRAINTS more strict than these
imposed at present are 10 be provided to
prevent excessive issues, and secure the
soundness of the currency.
We are entirely satisfied that the &C.
tual existing wants Of the Commonwealth
require very considerable Increase of
Banking Capitalize say nothing OF the
new Interests which might be created
by liberal expansion of the credit sys-
tenn. The amount applied for in the ag-
Sregate is about ten millions of dollars.
WI neither the Legislature will be dispos-
ed to go to that extent, however, is hard
ly Probiematical. There is an an.iquat
ed wisdom, prudish caution on this
subject, which we fear will be fatal G..
Ven to necessary increase. This is 70
be regretted because we are convinced
that to no single cause Of Indeed to al
other causes combined) are the rapid
advances Of other States in population
and Improvement SO much TO be ascrib.
ed as to their abundant capital, produced
mainly through the agency of Banks
New York, for instance, has Banking
Capital of nearly forty millions-ant
Pennsylvania capital OF about fifty.fv,
miliions--while Virginia has less tina:
seven millions. Is not this fact of itsel
sufficient 10 account for the difference i,
their relative prosperity We think i
may be safely assumed as an axiom, a
the present day, that there cannot be to-
much Banking Capital in any communi
ty' provided it be properly constituted
and can all be proitably employed.
