BANK BILL

The Compromise bill, which had already passed
the Senate, for recharterng the old Banks for six
years. on the basis of the present charters with
| some slight notifications, was reported by Mr.
EDMUNDS -...r
The House concurred in the report, and the
question coming up the passage of the BILL
Mr.. STANARD briefly stated his objections to the
present bill which he considered little better
than an abortion; he doubted whether the stock
holders would accept the terms of the committee
whose labors had realized the fable of the labor of
the mountain in bringing forth . mouse. He re-
garded the bill calculated to effect depreciation
of the State stock in the Banks he should reluc
tanty vote for the bill, as it was not now open to
amendment.
Mr.. EDMUNDs said that the bill was not sccepta-
BILE to him, but he must say that the abortion
ferred to by the gentleman from Richmond was
attributable to the conduct of the Bank officers,
whose lobbying had produced the difficulties which
delayed the action of the Legislature.
Mr.. KEMPER expressed his determination to op'
pose the bill, which, he said, perpetuated the cur
rent fund system SO Objectionable to the democra
cy of the State.
The vote was called and the bill passed by the
following vote:
