The SmaII-Note Currency.

A"S Sfhah-Notc
MEssRs EprToRs perceive that writer
for your paper, who takes the name of Legal
Coin" undertakes to find some fault with what
said in my former communication.
My object was two-fold: to point out the
impropriety of people throwing stones from
glass houses at their neighbors; and the real
and substantial benefit conferred upon this
community by the issue of Latham's one-dollar
notes.
The president Of one Of the banks of this
city, which have no charters, ought to remem-
Der, when acting in the capacity of President
of the Grand Jury, that "what is sauce for the
goose should be sauce for the gander" also !;
and that if he uses his influence to get the
Grand Jury to present Latham for issuing
bank notes withom authority Of lac, he must
expect the question to be asked, why he does
not use his influence with the same Grand Jury
to present his own bank for issuing bank notes
Without authority Of lac.
The fact is, there should be authority Of law
for the issue of bank notes ia this city. Con-
gress ought to grant bank charters here, with
proper guards and securities, so that the people
of this District could have the same banking
privileges that are vouchsafed to the people of
oil the surrounding States.
| ask % Legal Com to remember the point
which win now make to establish the fact
have before asserted, that Latham has proved
benefactor to this community, and particularly
to the poorer classes in it. If you have large
number of one-dollar bills--say twenty, fifty or
one hundred-issued no matter where, which
you wish to get converted into large bills Of
Virginia bank money, you have but to go to
Latham's, and the exchange is made for you,
unless your small notes are from Ohio, or some
other far-of State, without cents charge for
it. If, on the other hand, you have q twenty
dollar note Of one of the banks in the States
near at hand which you wish to convert into
small notes, go to Latham's, and his bank will
do it for nothing a..
In each case, would not the Bank of Wash
ington, the Bank Of Metropolis and the Patriotic
Bank, charge percentage for the exchange ? +
| remember the time when the notes OF, the
banks in this city were at discount of eight
or ten per centum. They have not always re-
deemed their notes in legal coin, ., P. Q.
