some action by the Legislature in
their behalf. And they have good
grounds to expect some action of
this kind some return for the loss
they have sustained hy their implicit
trust in the guarantee Of odr State
1.-The en,iorsem mt of the Comptroller.
The bank was chartered Institution,
and affores a sud example Of the
evil Of chartering almost every thiag,

Aiiies0xer their fellows by which
immunities Aey can swindIe and
escape the just penalty Of the law.
But we do No: intened TO write
long Of asutject that has been the
theme already Of many pens and
moths, although we do want those
who suffered by the swindle to re-
member it as long as life lasts. Nor
do We intend to assert that it is or is
cot right in the State to redeem these
now worthless notes Of the Exchange
Bank. Some men Of great intelli-
gence argue that she ought; others
equally intelligent say she should
not. Of course our opinion shall not
come in collision with either side.
unless We felt fully able to maintain
ssir position to the last extremity.
But this thing We do know. That it
seems unjust for tkafpoor note holder
TO suffer for the errors Of the State.
And nov the wonder grows: Who did
the swindling in the Exchange blow
up? Where is Mr.. Spence? Where
is the expose he wassto make? =
EchosaSswafetb, where? And can.

allude againto the Comptroller shame
on those notes, and ask what il will
signify henceforth if the accepted
Specification in the past has proven
as treacherous as The spider that weav-
eth beautiful web only to decoy
the poor, unwary fly? Let us hear
from the Fayetteville Observer on
this subject. 1t aud the Home
Journal, more than most other pa.
Pera, have talked over tits bank
fsvindle,s and he deals sneh uniting

bring him out once agsin, for The cause
Of Exchange sufferers in old Liucoln
and elsewhere. Other banks-the
East Tennessee, the Citizens, Sc,
need to be remembered especially BY
our Legislators. Andaif possible,
let Us fud who did the swindling il
'aha Exchange affair. For our Part
we'll give sirty dollars any day te
find out where the fraud lies--i1
whose eye the beam is.
