FREE BANKING.

We see in our exchanges, notices of bills in
the Virginia Legislature for the establishment
Of Free Banks" The term is erroneous
We do not know whether the press here has
employed it or not. The Legislature itself
used il at a former session, with regard to Sc
veraI Banks incorporated by special acts, with
some of the features of the Free BANKING Sys-
TEN Of New York-such for instance as the
circulation based upon pledges ofState Stock.
The term Free Banks" is misappled, how
ever, when reference is made to these special
corporations. A system of Free Banking must
be enc open to oil who are prepared to comply
with the conditions of the law establishing it.
This is the case in New York. Certain prin-
ciples and regulations are laid down in a gen.
eral act, and all who desire to do so, can avail
themselves of the benefits of the general law
by complying with its conditions.
Virginia has as yet established no free Bank
ing system. She has only incorporated a few
lsome half dozen peihaps,) local Banks, up.
on the principle of q circulation based on
pledges OF stock. Only one of those incorpor.
ated at the last session has, we believe, gone
into operatlon-the bank of the Old Domin-
ion, at Alexandra. We doubt whether any Of
the others then incorporated, ever will go into
operation. The difficulty in the way of the
prompt establishment of the Banks chartered
in this manner, is the necessity to which cap
italists are subjected of submittingt heir money
to the control of others-to board of Directors,
&c. The great object of free Banking was to
enable every man or copartnership, to manage
their own Banking operations after their own
fashion.
This is certainly desideratum with saga
cious men of large means; and whatever may
be the objections to the free banking system it
would certainly have the effect of converting
large capital into banking purposes-capi.
tai held by men who are unwilling to place in
others hands to manage for them.

fifty instead of TIVE MY five dollars to each emf.
grant, and that the surplus of the last two
years, appropriations may be expended in like
manner.
Upon this resolution Mr.. Howard made
some pertinent remarks, urging modification
of the act, and showing its ineficiency as it
now stands for accomplishing the purposes OF

Mr.. Tinsley, Mr.. Howard withdrew his reso-
terms, was proposed and adopted.
