RFB The effects of the counter-note law contain
ed in the Code, are beginning TO be observed. We
hear that the Branch of the State Bank at this
place is the only Bank here which observes the law
Having n heavy list Of depositors aud being com
PEELED to receive from depositors any current State
money, (Which they cannot pay OUT they must
keep surplus of their notes on hand to meet de-
positors checks. This uses up the funds which
would be otherwise used in discounting notes, and
of course diminishes accommodations for domestic,
as distinguished from speculative purposes.
We say they are compelled to receive from de-
positors any current State money. By this, we
mean, that should they refuse to receive such, de-
positors would 20 to the three other Banks here
and by losing the business of such depositors the
Bank would, perhaps, lose more than by taking the
money offered OF course such deposits must
be sent Off by mail or otherwise to the counters
where payable, and unless said places of payment
have on hand the notes of the Bank transmitting
such deposits which they can exchange for their
own money, they have to redeem their circulation
with Eastern Exchange or coin. 1t may be that
this will drive the notes Of each Bank like young
chickens) to roost with their parent, and each per-
son taking paper money of Tennessee make will be
nearer home--know more of the money--and be
reader to make a run than now. But in places
where there are no Banks--money of Tennessee
will be much scarcer, or such country will have
more specie or foreign paper money; and at home,
less money will be let out by the Banks for the
reason stated above. The time taken for trans
mission must be great loss in interest and n very
heavy risk through the mails.
Considering the matter altogether, we conclude
from many considerations which cannot be stated
in the limits Of brief newspaper article that the
Bank Law in the Code Of Tennessee, will be very
oppressive on the citizens, without furnishing any
peculiar inducements for retaining it in the laws Of
the land; and we hope that the Legislature early
in October will pass sort Of law relieving
the people and the Banks from this oppression
while, at the same time, they guard the rights Of
the public thoroughly. We think such plan very
feasible and hope TO see it enacted.
