There can be no objection to a re.oharter Of the
Union and Planters Banks-they enjoythe entire
confidence Of tho people, and have reputation as
good as the State Bank
ohartered-it is unnecessary to mention Them in this
brief explanation.
Besides we are called upon to increase the capital
stock Of the Bank Of Tennessee, by issuing the
bonds Of the State. These bonds nav have To be
paid eventually, by a tax upon the people Taxes
are already too burthensome.
Again, sir, the bill proposes to sell all the stock
belonging to the State in the different Turnpike
Companies, amounting nOminaliy to 81 ,226 $50 Sc
for cash; not on time, as sales are generally made
In my opinion an unnecessary sacrifice Of this stock
vote against the bill
Mr. NEWMAN moved to reconsider this vote and
to lay that motion on the table.
The House then took recess till O'Clock.

A WTTTTAW TELL EXPLOIT.

It is known that Captain Travis, of Louisville
is soon to make a peculiar test of his skill as
marksman. The Louisville Journal has the follow
ing:
The pistol which he intends to in this trial shot
is one made by Morgan James, Of Utica, New York,
who has no superior in such workmanship. The
oranges each to be D inches in diameter; one is
placed on the top Of his head, and one on the back
Of each hand, the arms being extended. In this
position, the distance Of ten paoes thirty feet
facing the shooter and with intervening object,
Captain John Travis proposes to hit each orange,
aud has only three shots to hit the three oranges
The feat is be pertOrmedin this city in June next
The boy who is to support the oranges is ten years
Of age, and q bright and sprightly lad. He has
every confidence in the ability Of Captain Travis to
hit each object, and has equally much in his
nerve, which cannot be surpassed. He is now under
daily training The boys feetare placed inches
apart and his hands upon his hips; the Captain
shoots through the angles made by the bending Of
the arms and between the feet This is done to &C
custom the boy the firing, and if possible give
him more confidence, and make him feel more at
ease From what we have seen, he possesses all the
nerve requisite to the perfect accomplishment Of this
most extraordinary feat. The little fellow is a ma

NrNvEsoTA LEGIsLATIoN.-The Five Million Loan
Bill passed the Senate, the Sd, by vote Of "A to

and the exceeding verdancy of the Legislators them
selves in supposing that their loan will ever be
taken. The whole affair will be looked upon as
piece of boys play were It not for the strong dash
Of rascality that gives it a flavor.

He was a bank man. He believed that Banks
were useful, proper, and necessary. He was the
friend and advocate Of banks, with proper charters
and had advocated upon all occasions, during this
discussion the re chartered the Union and Planters
Banks, upon the terms which had been presented
to the House He was opposed now, andhad always
been opposed, to the policy of the State banking on
its own means and more than all was he opposed to
the policy of the State borrowing the money to bank
on. He said that he had the whole history Of State
bankingin Tennessee from the charter Of the first
bank in 1907 up to the charter Of the Bank of Ten
nessee in 1887, and was prepared to show from the
messages Of Governors McMinn, Carroll and others
and also from the facts in history now on record
and which he had in his possession, that the whole
system, from the beginning up to the present time
had been magnificent failure. And instead of the in
crease of the capital Of the State Bank by borrowing
money, and the increase of the circulation conse-
quent thereon, relieving the people, such policy
had invariably added to the distresses of the peo
pie in the end, and always produced more evil than
good.
He saidhis remarks we're intended to apply alone TO
the policy of borrowing money by the State 10 hank
upon and not to banks based upon other principles
But the House had sustained the call for the preyous
question, which prevented him from discussing the
subject now, and he was only permitted to say this
much in explanation Of his vote. But he claimed
the privilege under the circumstances of giving the
country the whole history Of this subject from the
beginning, which he should do, with the remarks
which he had intended to make on this occasion,
and the reasons which induced him to vote no.
Mr. VAUGHN said:
He was willing to vote to increase the capital
stock Of the Bank Of Tennessee, and to re-chsrter
the Union and Planters Bank, as Joint PROPOSE
ton. The re-charter of these Banks, will operate
as a check upon the Bank Of Tennessee.
In my opinion the re-charteT is a necessity, and
whether the Legislature recharter or not, the peo-
pie of the State will demand it. Never will the peo-
pie of Tennessee suffer monopoly in banking
never will they submit to one mammoth bank, over
shadOWiRg and putting down all Others to be reared
in their midst-they desire few solvent banks,
guarded by proper restrictions, making the note
holder undoubtedly seoure-they want some compe-
tition to say the least and will have more than one
source, from which to obtain the means Of meeting
their liabilities.

ARE DIrcH OWNERS PRorEcTED!-No spe-
cies of property is better protected than ditch
property. Even now there is a man lying
in our Jail, awaiting his trial for felony, upon
charge of injrring the Clear Greek Ditch.
And one editor who wants the ditch owners
bill passed by Congress, in order that the
ditch men may be better protected in the
possession of their property, says that if he
had hundred thousand dollars he would
invest it in bitches. STILL in the face of this
declaration, he rather argues that this species
OF property is not we'll protected. We sup
pose that these organs of the ditch owners
believe what they say on this subject but
certainly no sensible men do.
