BANK SUPERVISOR.
Mr. MINIS moved to take up the message
Of the Governor nominating VIM. A. Quarles,
of Montgomery as Supervisor of Banks. The
motion prevailed; and
Mr.. Minis moved to confirmation.
Mr.. Horn seconded the motion, and recon-
mended Gen. Quarles TO the Senate
Mr.. Richardson said he had no objection to
Mr.. Quarles-did not know anything OF his
peculiar qualifications or fitness for this
office. But he was opposed to the con6rma-
ton, not only of Mr.. Quarles. but of any
other man under present circumstances
When the Legislature passed the bill ito re-
form and regulate the busidess of Banking"
and GRATED the Office of Supervisor of
Banks, it was expected and understood by
ali those who voted for the bill that Banks
would be chartered under its provisions and
in accordance with its requirements. For
to have passed such bill under any other
superstition would have been an act of folly.
If there are to be no banks chartered in ac-
cordance with the provisions of the general
tasc, why then we shall have no use Tor the
Supervisor.
1t seems that there will be none, and until
the Legislature shall charter banks in accor.
dance with the law which We have passed,
there can be no use for the Supervisor, and
he would oppose the confirma ton of any one.
From present indications, he was induced to
believe :bat there would be no banks charter
ed. nor re-chartered; and consequently there
be 10 use tor a Supervisor. And be would
not be instrumental in foistiBg this Office on
the people, when there Was 10 necessity for
it,
Mr.. Lane conceded with Mr.. Richardson.
and spoke against the nomination.
Mr.. Hildreth followed taking the same side
of the subject; and
Mr.. MInnis withdrew his motion, by leave
of the Senate, and so the Governors message
was re-aid on the table.
Mr.. Mihnis tt commended the passage of
the bill tn provide a residence for the Cover
nor by appropriating the Hospital property
at present occupied by the Medical College of
Nashville University.
