page as above, 445 and 4l6 The bill was
then put upon its passage, and passed; no vote
being recorded on its passage. The bill pass
ed with amendments and was returned 10 the
Senate; and the Senate, at page $50 OF Senate
Journal concurred in the amendments of the
house. We have been thus particular in the
history Of this bill, because 1t met with great
Opposition from Gov. McNUTT; and because the
! bank created by this bill is one Of the soundest
institutions in the State. We notice it the more
> particularly, that the course of certain con-
spicuous persons on this bill may be contrasted
} with their course on other bills to charter
banks, in the Northern part Of The STATE.

: this Bank, passed the house without votes

n words "'Hhe bill entitled, an act to incorporate
the Lake Washington and Deer Creek Rail
d Road and Banking Company, being in order
IS for its second reading, on motion of Mr. McNutt,
the rule was dispensed with, aud said bill was
/, read second time by its title" He also made
Is motions, showing that he desired the passage
ot the said bill, at pages gao and 295 OF the
S same Journal. Gov. McNUrT's conduct on this

a the Commercial Bank of Natchez!
