nished us of the number and character of
ties all right, except the Exchange Bank
(Which will be more fully spoken of hereafter)
and the Banks of Tazwell, Claiborne, Tren-
ton and Jefferson. The last four banks are in
involuntary liquidation, and the Committee
have not been able to get a full and correct
list of the bonds that ought to be on deposit
to the credit of these banks. part of them
have changed hands several times, and the
Committee, not having heard from their own
ers, cannot ascertain their true condition.
The Committee, however, have no reason to
suppose the bonds of the Banks of Jefferson
and Claiborne incorrect. Had even state
ments been furnished us by these banks that
are in involuntary liquidation of the number
and character of bonds deposited, yet the
Committee would not be able to arrive at the
correct amount of bonds that should be to
their credit. The Comptroller Luttrell, kept
no Office books or memorandum of the cIrcula-
ton burned and bonds taken up, though he
has shown to US private book, kept by him
self, which purports to give a correct account
OF circulation cancelled and bonds taken up.
OF the liquidating banks up to the time he
went out of Office When thousand dollars
on any of these banks were presented to him.
he counted the money, burned it, and deliv-
cred to the party returning the circulation a
corresponding number of bonds, and conse-
quently, the Committee cannot tell the num-
Der or Character of bonds that should be on
hand.
In regard to the Banks of Trenton and
Tazwell, the Committee would state, that
ThOs. F. Mosby, late clerk in the Comptrol-
ler's office, confessed 10 them that he had
taken and appropriated to his own use five
bonds belonging to the Bank of Tazwell, of
81 1000 each, four of which were Nashville and
Chattanooga bonds, endorsed by the State,
and one Memphis City bond, endorsed by
the State. He likewise confessed that he had
taken the Memphis City bonds, endorsed by
the State, belonging 10 the Bank of Trenton.
The difficulties here presented result from the
fact, that the Free Banking law of 1852, and
the acts amendatory thereto, have not been
fully complied with, for if full and perfect
list of the notes cOuntcrsigned by the Comp
trOller had been registered. giving the dates
when registered, and the amount returned and
cancelled and the date of the return, and of
the bonds deposited, and the date of the de-
post, and likewise of the Withdrawals there
would be no difficulty in turning to the Comp
trOller's book, and. at glance. ascertain
everything connected with the Free Banking
system; but, unfortunately, no such were
kept.

its circulation, the supposition is, as the
Exchange Bank was closed on the 18th Nav,
five days subsequent to the arrangement.
and as the circulation of the Exchange Bank
was coming in rapidly upon the State Bank,
that instead of injury, ii may have relieved
the people TO the extent Of the circulation
received by the Bank of Tennessee But the
Committee are OF opinion that any arrange
ment made between solvent Bank, and one
in a doubtful or sinking condition is, TO say
the least of il, so far as the public are con-
cerned, of very questionable policy, the SOL
vent Bank, by making such agreement gives
credit TO the circulation, and enables the
Bank, contemplating suspension, to put out it
issues. and thereby practice heavy frauds and
impositions upon the public. The foregoing
statement in reference TO the transactions be-
tween the State Bank and the Exchange Bank.
although not intimately blouded with the
subject under Immediate consideration. vet
its insertion here, as it was part of the
evidence, was d emed proper aud necessary.
and We now return 10 the examination of the.
question as to the loss of bonds by the
Exchange Bank.
We give below copy Of an old paper fur
nished us by Mr.. Spence. the offset of which
will be explained hereafter.
We also append in this connection conv
of paper furnished us by Mr.. Spence of
the number of bonds deposited during Mr..
Crozier's and Mr.. LuttreIl's administrations
and of full amount of Withdrawals of bonds
save the SO that We're withdrawn subsequently
to this report, as here in set forth.

EXCHANGE Rank.

In regard to the Exchsng,. Bank, the Com
mittee would state, that they have had great
difficulties in arriving at such facts and reli-
able data as would enable them to come to
satisfactory conclusion but they submit for
your consideration the following facts, which
they feel confident will lead to correct ex-
PLANTATION of the affairs of that bank. The
Exchange Bank claims one hundred and twen-
ty-three regular six per cent. State bonds, and
we find that there are no bonds on deposit 10
| the credit of said bank. The Committee would
state, that the following evidences have been
furnished them, by the Exchange Bank, that
they bad on hand that amount of bonds:
| A book has been furnished us by the Messrs.
Spence, which processes TO be Bank book.
and the one in which they entered the various
amounts of bonds deposited and withdrawn,
and which likewise processes to give an ac-
count of the circulation of the Exchange
Bank, of the amount received at various
times and the amount returned and burned.
The Committee, however, deem it proper to
remark in this connection, that Mr.. Joseph S.
Carols (see depo.} states, that he lived with
the Messrs. Spence nearly two years-that he
left them in May, 1S57-that he did business
for them in their bank, and that book was
kept showing the bonds deposited with the
COmptroller-thatb be thinks that he made sew
eral entries in the aforesaid book, and that
the one before him is not the same. The one
that was kept while he was living with them
was seven or eight inches sqnare-the one be-
fore him 153 inches long and about the same
thickness of the one he had made entries in
says the book furnished the Committee was
not one of the Bank books, while he lived
with them The book before him bears the
appearance of having been copied, and is in
the handwriting of J. Spence-says the little
book spoken of by him showed the number
and date of bonds similar to an old paper
[marked exhibit Al
After the aforesaid deposition was taken,
Mr.. Spence prnpounded interrOgatories to Mr..
Carols. who. on cross examination. stated that
he recollected to have seen the book present
ed to the Committee in the vault, but he does
not say il was the same book which was kept
by the Messrs. Spence, while he was their
clerk; but, on the contrary, Mr.. Carols made
entries in the Bond book. in his own hand
writing, and the book represented to Com
mittee to be the Bond book was written entire
ty by Mr.. j. Spence, and beyond this, he speaks
in his deposition of the difference in the
length and size of the two books as above.

matter, the Bank of Tennessee agreed to con-
tinue to take his notes, he pledging himself to
take them up promptly. and not to permit
them to accumulate with the Bank of Ten

ply with our request. and rigidly with his
pledges, he stating that his means were ample
TO do so. On the 10Th of May, as remember
he notified us not to take any more of his

"Be Of Good Cheer.

In travelling through various portions of our
County, we meet on every face the smiling
counteuance Of our farmers and laboring men.
Looking about US in curiosity to ascertain the
meaning and cause of this, we discover on
every way-side, the luxuriant fields of grass,
falling before the approach of the newly in
vented mowers-the waving of grass just
ripening for the gathering-the long, regular
row Of corn and potatoes, and, en- a nearer
approach, and examination of all the grow
ing produces, we should be astonished were
not q SECRET joy pervading among our inhab-
itants; for the yield of the present year will
far exceed that Of any former-bringing a
grateful return to the farmer for his care and
labor, and to the poor man, employment and
reward, to feed what he a short time 9
feared would be a miserable and starving FAM
iiy. Grass IS one third heavier than usual
and the prevailing fine weather gives an oppor
tunity in which large quantities of hay of a
superior quality will be secured. The grain
has now nearly matured, and, should the
weather continue favorable, we predict that
there will be a quantity in the aggregate lar
ger and better than in several previous wear.
Potatoes and corn although backward have
the appearance Of being strong and healthy.
and promises well for the fall yisld. AS we ride
along and thus see the farmer 80 generously
compensated for bis skill, anxiety and expense;
we smile within, and bid him sweat cheerfully.
for his is an honorable and noble calling;
though his hand may be hard with effort, and
his brow bronzed by the sun-beam-and more,
we rejoice when we reflect that in the autumn
and winter, when all these shall be turned into
hard cash. Some Of it may gingle in our
pockets, and make glad music to our dull ears.
