The general Of small in this District has given
rise 10 system Of fraud which demands exposure. We
have special friendship for banking Institutions OF any

there degrees OF comparison with regard 10 banks

forth disqaision banking, or 10 define our position
in that behalf Ii is 10 call public attention 10 whole
sale system Of fraud which is being practsed.
The fact has become generally known throughout the
country that this District and the neghborng States
OF Maryland and Virginia. have been flooded with small
notes issued from this city Such notes have been received
points where nothing was known OF the establishments
which issued Them because small establishments and
OF limited are not. general rule, extensively
known in the commercial word Dishonest men have
taken advantage OF that fact, aud have arranged sys
ematc plan of fraud, which they execute by putting forth
in distant portions OF the country small notes puportng
TO be issued by banking establishments in this city,
which have existence whatever, and bearing the sig
nature OF presidents and cashiers who known in
this community. We have received in payment for sub
scrpton 10 journal fifteen or twenty such notes
within the last two weeksonc from the western part OF
North Carolina, another from Detroit another from
Maine aud others from places equally remote, showing
extensive scheme of operations by which persons at a
distance, knowing that small notes form large portion
OF the circulating medium of the District OF Columbia,
imposed and deraudsd by small notes purporl-
ing to be issued here, well engraved, with hand
some signatures, and fair to look upon We hardly
expect that the persons engaged in these frauds will
be detected and punished; but if Congress would take
the matter in hasd and by etectual legislation prohibit
such issues in the District then every community in the
Union would be duly notified to receive and circulate
such notes those speak Of; and one, except
through his negligence would receive the spurious
paper Of imaginary banks Of this District bearing the
signatures of fictitious personages and of pretended Off
GERS, who, If they really have name yet have local
habitation. Unparalleled prosperity is producing too
much confidence by destroying necessary caution and the
success with which the bald and naked frauds we have
been speaking OF have been carried on Makes us fear
that fictitious issues and extended credits NAV nflic
