SMALL NOTES.

It is pretty generally proposed by those who speak
or write on the subject to suppress the of small
notes; and, as I have been wholly unable to see
any advantage in this proposal but great HARM de-
sire to state some Of my objections to this measure.
1st. There are many persons whose dealings are
ali under ten dOllsrs Now to all such, BY ''retir-
ing small bills" you reduce them at once to specie
currency. To them you wind up the banks in one
year. and by so doing you Cypress all small dealers
persons Of small means-just IS much you
would the large dealers by winding up the banks
entire in the same time. Thus marked differ
ence is made between the poor and the rich that sp
pears to me unfair. view it as unjust to make a
who has poor bit Of land pay his taxes in
gold or silver, and allow the man who owns rich
and valuable farm to pay his taxes in currency. I
have known instances wherein one man has sued a
poor neighbor, and demanded gold or silver in pay
ment, for which all his neghbors csnsuredhim; but
the Legislature proposes TO place it out Of the
humble poor to pay in anything else but specie, no
matter what it may cost them to procure it; and
then they place it out Of their power to procure sPe-
Gle from the banks even if they were paying specie
for one could not draw specie from bank to the
amount Of dollar, without he had a ten dollar
note.
But it is said that this should be done to widen
the specie basis. Il is not admitted that it would
accomplish this object but if it did think it would
Cypress those who are least able to bear it; and
would be cruelty unjust. as I think can easily be
made appear.
The science Of political economy teaches us that
hundred dollars gold or silver cost just the
amount of labor that hundred dollars worth of
wheat would cost; and that banking is rssorted to
for the purpose Of avoiding part Of this expense
in the article of currency, just man would buy
a cotton shirt in place Of linen one, because it
would do as well and cost less. So if the Legisla-
ture comPels one half or any other portion Of the
people to deal entirely in specie and eIempts the
other by general law, they place burthen on one
that the other is exempt from, and they had well
DO SO by name The injustice would be the same.
But AGAIN: 1t is said that another object is to
protect the labOrng people from loss" Think with
all due respect to those who advance this reason,
that this object could be accomplished without in
creasing the burthens Of any one believe that
the "laboriug poor" have not yet lost anything
BY taking the small bills on the Bank of Tennessee,
nor do think there is any danger Of it. And it
has not been shown that the State Bank could not
furnish change bills to supply all the demands for
small dealings Nor will it be thought that the
State Bank has been less useful less able since it
issued small bills than it was before. You here have
part Of the much that ought to be said on this sab
ject. EQUAL RIGHTS

CONTINUATION

Ma. EDToR:-We are pleased to see the firm de-
termination manifested by the present Legislature
TO prevent a further extension Of State aid in the
shape Of loaning her credit to railroads. An over
weeniug anxiety to enjoy the advantage of such
improvements and to extend them to every portion
Of the State, has already been too generally tin-
iulged This feeling coupled with the hotJed system
of getting up stock by county subscription, has
set on foot many projects Of this sort, having
practical usefulness in themselves, and which must
result if not stopped by some means or other, in
sealing grievous burden upon our people. Every
Means consistent with the obligation Of the State
that would tend to lessen her liability, by cutting
of all projected roads of doubtful practicability
and usefulness, should be immet sS>ly adopted.
Experience will soon demonstrate that ve have many
such.
The Act Of 1872, establishing system Of In
ternaI Improvements for the State, offered loan of
her credit to the extent Of $1,000 per mile only
which, at the ruling prices of that time was thought
to be ample for the ironing and equipment Of the
roads Prices Of iron and equipments soon ad-
vanced very greatly, and the Legislature Of 1854
extended this loan to $4,000 per mile Iron has
since that time fallen greatly in price, and may
present be bought at unprecedentedy low This
being the case it seems to me that proper regard
both for the interest Of the State and that Of the
roads, would suggest the necessity Of some means
b. which they can avail themselves Of the sdyan-
age Of the present low prices
Certainly we have some lines OF road whose means
are ample for the completion of their local work;
whose whole extent is in course Of construction;
whose liability was fully attached by contract for
The work, aud whose work is in state of sufficient
torwurdnass to preclude the possibility Of failure
To such, (f there be any we make the suggestion,
would It not be to their interest," well as that Of
the State, to come up and make a fair showing Of
their condition, and if found to be such as above
described, take amount less than the 10000 per
mile, and sufficient to iron and equip their lines at
present J0U rdtss7 1t seems to me- sir, that very
great benefit would result from this policy, both to
the roads and to the State To the State by d.
rect curtailment Of her prospective lsbilities-tO
the companies by lessening the cost Of their work,
the amount of interest to be paid semi-annually,
and the amount Of debt to be paid at the maturity
of the roads. We certainly need all the economy
in these things that proper vigilance can institute
ONE THAT HAS 70 PAY.

MAJOR POLKs BANK BILL

Upon the introduction Of this bill into the House,
We proposed giving our readers synopsis Of its
provisions; but as various amendments we're soon
proposed and in course Of discussion, we deferred
doing 50, until we could give the amendments also.
The bill and amendments having been defeated, no
synopsis was made. For the benefit Of Major Polk,
and the information Of his immediate constituents
who may feel an interest in his course upon this
question we make the following brief condensation
of its provisions:
SEC l. Provides for a repeal Of the free banking
law and the prohibition Of those now in existence
from increasing their present circulation.
SEC 2 That hereafter no bank while in a sus-
pended condition shall discount for other banks and
shall not, by agent or otherwise, sell coin at any
Rlte Of premium whatever or buy in their oWnnoles
at any rate Of discount whatever.
SEC. 8. That within sixty days thereafter, all
free banks should be required make the bonds Of
the State deposited by them, Of par value either by
depositing more bonds orretiring sufficient amount
Of their circulation.
SEC. 4. That after the first day of July next, no
bank should emit or pay cut any note Of less de-
nomination than So; after October next, none Of
less denomination than $40; and after January,
1859, none of less denomination than $50,
SIC. g. Provides for resumption on all notes Of So
and under from and after the first Of July next; on
all of SO and under, from and after the first of
October next and from and after January, 1859, on
all notes OF any size or denomination whatever
SEC. G. Provides that they shall furnish the Gov
ernor on first Mondays in January, April, Jsly and
O,tober Of each year, a statement Of their entire
condition, business, &c, verified on oath.
SEC. :. Provides suitable penalties for violations
Of any Of these provisions.
SEC. 8. That the Bank Of Tennessee, Union, and
Planters banks and branches, shall put in circula
ton notes payable at the respective banks and
branches in proportion to the capital stock used and
employed by them respectively.
SEC 9. That the Bank Of Tennessee shall reap
portion her capital among the branches, accgrdiD g
10 original provisions Of the charter.
Sic 10 Should the free banks refuse to comply
with any Of these requirements, the Attorney Gene
raj should proceed to wind them up.
This is, in substance the bill originally intro
duced, but was afterwards Amended and defeated.

BRowx:
Among the very able communications written By
the members ofAfr Buchanan's Cabinet in answer 70
invitations to attend the late administration meeting
at Philadelphia, that Of Gov Brown, the present
Postmaster General has attracted especial attention
and commendation. The clear and common sense
manner in which be treats the whole subject Of the
Kansas disputes, aud bis mastery defence Of the
position assumed ia the Presidents message in rels-
ton to the affairs Of that Territory, more than
sustain the high reputation which the distinrsh ed
Tennesseesn has SO long enjoyed throughout the
nation as a sound, able and honest politician.
Gov Brown, while he does not hesitate to denounce
in somewhat severe terms, those who, from selfish
motives, would unnecessarily keep alive and increase
the embGrrasments Of the Democratic party in con-
nection with this yeXed question, is nevertheless
content with carrying out to the letter the pledges
given to the people in the Cincinnati declarations
and no man understands better than be the length
and breadth and true significance Of the sentiments
thus expressed and the pledges there given for be
was one Of the mastersPrits Of that convention and,
as Is well known, came nigh being Of its prinei-
pal nominees.
President Buchanan must feel proud in having
such statesman in his Cabinet council 10 whom are
united superior administrative abilities and such
power efeetuslly to ward Of with the pen the
assaults Of open gGnd disguised enemies, ss Is
exhibited In this mastery production OF the Fost
master General. With the writer Of this, ana with
thousands Of others, that aud the other excellent
Cabinet communications, has confirmed the faith
never yet shaken in the honor and fidelity OF cur
patriotic President.
