"Because papa, l thought--rnayb

after, Judge Thrall was appointed Comptroller
of Treasury, ard thereupon resigned his position
as Receiver. | thereupon appointed j. II. Clay
poole to ill the vacancy, who at once gave bonds
and entered upon the duties Of the post. No
assets OF any value were found. 1t will be seen
by the annexed HISTORY of the Bank, carefully
compiled from its books by the Receiver, that
on the 25th day April, 1857, the stockholders
met, and divided all the assets among them
selves, leaving the circulation to be for by the
stocks deposited with the State Treasurer. AL
though this transaction was wholly Illegal yet

concerned in the fraud. What the amount OF
this fraud is I am unable to say, but the proba-
bilities are that it is $2S,OC0 or $685. 887 The
Receiver has given notice to bill holders to re-
turn the circulation to him, giving receipts for
the same, and will commence suit against the
stockholders to recover back the amount by
them divided. There is no doubt Of their habil.
ity for every dollar Of this over issue.
But, while these suits are pending the bill
holders must wait for their money. The opin-
ion seems to be very general that the State, in
good faith is not only bound 10 take up the
over issue fthis bank but also the over issue of
the Canal bunk of Cleveland. The opinion is
undoubtedly founded on the rule Of law that a
principal is bound by the act of is agent, so far
as he has authority to act for him. These frauds
could not have existed, except by the acts Of an
agent of the State. 1t is also equally true that
the law positively forbds the Treasurer from is
suing more circulating notes than there were
stocks deposited. But having consented to be-
come king Of stake holder between the bill
holders and the banks, it is at least a debatabIe
question whether the State is not morally bound
to assume the responsibility Of the acts of the
agent. This question should be settled by the
Legislature, that the people may know what to
depend upon in this class Of cases.
