Nashville union and American. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1853-1862, 1857-03-11


e We learn from the Knoxville Mereurythat
a meeting was held by she cit:zsts Of that place,
at which Judge McKEHEY was tho pres ding on
Ger, and Judge JoSRI the Secretary. It was sta
ted at the nee NJ that s400O 900 il coin had been
drawn from lie Union Bank at Knoxville by
Memphis brokers'. A committee was appointed
to devise ssne mIans to avoid 9 money crisis.
The Union Bank ia able to redeem every doliIr OF
its circulation. Bat while tbs brokers are aiding
the Georgia ard SOUTH Care Inns banks to take its
coin, the Customers Of the Bank cannot expect the
usual discounts Knoxville aud Memphis mus,
in the end, To the chief sufferers Is there any
remedy for this2 We think if the citiz.ns Of these
two places woull make Ell Try and ascertain if
| any Bank, st either point, wss "gVirg aid and
oomfort to the South Carolina ami Georgia
Banks in draining coin from tie Union Bank, they
might do something for themselves by stopping, in
! part, the evil
Suppose it should be ascertsned that a Bank At
| Memphis was collecting jackson notes, could DO:
/ the citizsns of these two CT ies, By withdrawing
| their dsposiIes aud taking their entire business
! from such bslk do much to pat dowl the evil?
! Try It There is something wrong in our system
Of Banking This Legislature of 1854, gave any
bank in the Union the privilege Ct establishing an
ageIcy in this State. This must be repealed
