be found to exist
The question of the General Banking law
came up to-day, having been omitted in the
revision of the General Statutes.n Mr..
Hubbell of Fairfax, one of the orginators Of
the law, and Mr. Henry of Chester, argued
strenously for the retention of the law, while
Mr.. Chandler of Woodstock, and Mr.. Cush-
man OF Rochester, opposed it. Ii was shown
on one side that genera are better than special
laws, and that it is safer to the bill holders,
when secured on the credit of states, whose
stocks are unquesioned, as basis of banking,
and that were there no Spicidl banking laws
1t would be far better for the people of the
State. 1t was further shown that the de-
mands of the country and the suggestions Of
the Secretary of the Treasury, were all end
ing TO the same end. On the other hand il
was argued that no such law was needed, in
asmuch as il is the policy of the State to retain
the present system of banking and oppose auy
change that the present system works well
enough, is secure and satisfies the wants of the
people. 1t was decided to replace the law in
the General Statutes, and leave them there Tor
such as desire to use them
