South Western Rail Road Bank Bill
The following paragraph. from the Lex
ington Observer, Of the 9Th inst. revives
once more some small hope of the final
success Of this measure:
"Ihe Legislature.-We regret to state
that the bill to confer Banking powers up
on the Charleston, Louisville and Cincin-
natl Rail Road Company. has been defea-
ted in the House.of Representatives ofthe
Kentucky Legislature, by a vote of ayes
as, noes 52-every member present.
Since the vote was taken o. Tuesday, we
learn that two gentlemen who voted against
the bill, have received instructions from
their constituents to vote for it. and we
presume the question will again come up
upon reconsideration next week, when
we are not without hope Of its passage.
The bill was defeated upon its third read.
ing, and letter from Frankfort TO the
Louisville Journal states that it is known
that at least three members voted for the
third reading Of the bill who would have
voted against it upon its final passage
The question Of its passage we are never
lheless still inclined to regard as at least
doubtful"

Judging by what we can learn OF the
Tenor of the constitution made by The con-
veulion which lately met at St. Josephs,
the people cf Florida are about as friendly
10 Banks as their Red men are 10 the
Whites. Look at what they have put in
to the constitution under which they are
to be governed in future. To pass or alter
any act Of incorporation, requires a two
thirds vote Of each House, after three
months public notice Of the intention 10 ap-
ply for the same. No hank shall have
less than twenty stockholders. of whom
more than one half must be residents in
Florida.
The capital must not he less than $780,
600 paid in specie; loans on stock are forbid
den,an banks are prohibited from borrow
ing money to add TO their capital stock, or
aid their business. Dealing in any kind of
merchandise, in stocks, real estate, in in
surance, manufacturing, expectation or
importation. Except in gold and silver
are specially forbidden. Their liabilities
and issues shall never exceed twice The a
mount of capital stock paid in. They
shall not issue notes less than five dollars,
and the legislature may carry the restric-
ton to twenty dollars. Stockholders are
liable 10 the amount Of their stock for every
violation Of charter aud for the payment of
its debts when the charter expires. The
legislatures is forbidden TO pledge the faith
and credit Of the State to raise funds in aid
Of any corporation whatever. No Presi
dent, Director, or officer of a Bank, is eli
gible as Governor, or State Senator or
Representative, while holding these reIa-
lions to bank, or for twelve months after
they may have served.-M o. Courier.

Ma. EDITOR,

Ma. EDITOR,
Observing al anecdote in late num-
Der of your paper, Of one OF our summer
emigraring gentry to fashionable water
ing place, reminds me OF one thar occur
red at Saratoga, some years since, when
it was so much the resort of Southern WIS.,
itors. A South Carolinian, from the
assumption of consequence, caused an en-.
quiry of his servant, how many negroes
his master had? He answered, "Me, and
Fatimore," Ghe name Of the other negro
".Ah! You and forty more He is rich"
This established the GentIeman's righ,
Of importance, and the greatest a'ten-
ton was paid him, until a neighbor
arrived, who barely recognized him: this
appeared strange to The company, who
were paying court TO him. Another en-
quiry was made of the new conner, and
when the matter was explained, precip-
itate retreat was made.
