THE GEORGIA MoXEy.-We find in the financial
column of the Chicago Democratic Press, the fol-
lowing article relative to Georgia money:
1t would seem. that so far MS the interests Of the
public concerned there is scarcely any room
for argument as TO the effect which continued run
upon the Georgia Banks would have upOn the
business interests of the West. We stated the
case fairly in our last report and have ONLY to add
that our opinions have been very generally sus-
tanned by the best business men in the city. There
can b. TO doubt rs to the policy of circulating the
bills of banks owned by responsible men in this
CITY, Or those owned hv men whom we do not, and
cannot know in the Eastern States. Our hu<i-
ness men have a very vivid recollection of tic fact
that every fall few wears since some two or thr0e
bogus banks would annually be got up by Eastern
SPECTATORS these bills would be put in circua-
ton ut the West in the purchase of produce, ana
when large circulation WAS obtained the banks
were sure to break. Sometimes they were ocltcd
in Maryland, sometimes in New York, New jersey
or some of the New England States. We cannot
of course say that none OF the Georgia banks will
ever yield to any financial crisis hut we repeat
that the business men of The West generally
place greater confidence in the issues of those
Georgia Banks which quote thin they do in a
majority of the Eastern Banks whose notes are
brought West for circulation.
