Mr. Speaker BURCH mr. Walker in the chairl op-
posed concurrence in the House amendment -
When this bill was originally introduced in the Sen
ate, the seventh section IN substance and effect
the same II now is with the House amendment
Believing that no bank or branch bank should put
IN circulation any note not on its face payable upon
demand al the place where put IN circulation, he
bad proposed section in lieu Of the original seventh
adopted by the Senate, and went 10 the House.
The House had attached proviso that no parent
bank or branch bank shall be prohibited from pay
ing out each others notes. respectively, after they
have once been issued at their own counter" This
prOvso was utterly repuguanC to his sense of what
was right and proper There we're in this bill some
Insurm0untablc objections and he had voted against
il on It's passage. But there were two provisions
IN j. to which he particularly and warmly at
lac1ed One was the provision fixing an early day
for general resumption, the other was the counter
note proposition. One Of the crying evils Of our
banking 81 stem had ever been the power and prac
tce Ul the banks aud branches pay out the notes
of each ether. If specie paying currency is cur
renty reaeemabIe ID coin at the counter where paid
ont, the banks Of Tennessee have been in effect in
state of suspension since theywent into operation
There Is scarcely bank in the state that will pay
ou' AT any time bills redeemable at the counter.
Mr. Bunch proceeded at some length TO enforce his
views showing that the reason that the citizens and
corporations Of other States refused TO take our
money, vas because of our wild cat system. 1t did
mere than all other things depreciate Tennessee
money at home and abroad
The question being on the motion to concur in
House amendment, as amended. the motion failed
