Mr. BENNETT. Mr. Speaker, If it be in order
wish to call the attention Of the Reporter for the
! UNION AND AMERICAN, not to q correction Of his
work, but TO my speech made day before yesterday,
! and printed in this meanings paper. That speech
makes me say that Gen. Anders IN and Granville P.
Smith were in favor of taking off the counter mole
system to enable her to afford facilities l
regret that / stated it in that way. These
gentlemen say they faror it for the purpose
OF putting the State Bank upon an equal
footing with the Union and Planters BRnk-to en-
able her 10 compete with the Union and Planters
Bank, They favored the law as it was passed by
the last Legislature believing at the time that it
would operate upon all hanks-tbat those banks
would accept its restrictions But rs they ali have
not accepted those restrictions, therefore they are
for the supensioR of this principle upon the State
Bank. They desire it very much in order that the
State may De upon equality with qthef banks.
