SMALL NnTES

The banks of this city gave notice some time
since that on and after the LIST day of March, they
would receive no notes of less denomination than
i've dolla1 on deposit or in payment of debts. The
rule went into operation on Thursday, and is &C.
cssioning some inconvenience and clarnor. Gen.
ANDERSON, our accommodating postmaster, requests
US to say, that, hereafter, he will receive no notes
of 9 less denomination than five dollars inpayment
ofpostage and box rent His business with the
Government must be transacted with specie, and
he cannot course, receive any notes not convert
BILE, on the spot, into specie, without suhjectng
himself to the danger of serious personal loss
We are clearly of opinion that this is move
ment in the right direction, and we earnestly hope
the banks and postmaster will persist in it. There
was never a good reason for the issuance of small
notes. They have always occupied the place which
should have been occupied by coin. But since the
discovery of gold in California and the coinage of
the quarter eagle and the gold dollar, there has
never been the shadow of an excuse for the nflic-
lion. They have been a source of profit to those
who have issued them, but to the public they have
been "evil and that continually" Their places, il
they shall be now suppressed, will be instantly sup
piled with gold and silver coin.
While the banks have taken right STEP thew
have left yet something to be done by the Legsla.
ture. We trust that body, at its next session, will
pass prohibitory small note law, law which shall
not only prohibit any bank in this State from is.
suing notes of less denomination than FIVE dollars
but prohibit the circulation of such notes issued in
other States. The banks have begun good work
But the banks may ct any time rescind their order.
In council The currency is ticklish thing to be
tempered with, and the people have right to de.
mand that it shall be controlled by law, and not left
to the sport of few bank directors here at Nash
vile. Make the circulating medium gold and sill
yer, and the industrious Nottingham, who has
been able to lay by few dollars, will not have to
consult bank note lists daily to see what hslittle
savings may be worth. These small notes are
convenience only to those who issue them, and the
public patience has been too long tried with them.
We shall, at tie proper time, pray the Legislature to
pass law making it misdemeanor to circulate
such notes, issued either by the free banks, the
stock banks the State bank, or the banks of other
States.
