LIABILTTIES


To the General Assembly Of the State
Of Tennessee: l respectfully submit to
YOU the annual statement of the condi-
ton Of the Bank of Tennessee.
! In this statement the 1856, 7l9 20 in
| gold, which was converted into United
| States 7.SO bonds, is not reported as assets
/ or means of the bank, because IL has
| never come into the hands of the present
Board of Directors or Trustees OF the
| bank, but is claimed and held by the
| State as a part of the school fund. Nor
| are the Confederate notes, bonds, and
| Tennessee war bonds in our hands,
amounting in all to sS,052,OSl 50, em-
braced amongst the reported means OF
| the bank, as they are believed TO be
wholly without value.
The item Of "notes and bills in suit +"
are notes and bills upon which suits were
commenced prior to the return of assets
OF the bank TO the present Board of Di-
| rectors. Its ascertained that very
small amount of the same will he col
| leeted.
The item of SlS9, 10 p reported to be
due from banks and agents is the amount
as IT stands on the old books Of the bank.
Correspondence and settlements made
with these banks and agents show that
a very small amount, not exceeding S3O,-
900. is due from them, and of this amount
upwards of S27 900 is In dispute and in
suit.
The item Of real estate reported to be
SI55, ,04f37 is the nominal value Of the
reaFsstate as it stands on the former books
of the bank. A portion Of the real estate
has been sold, and the remainder will be
offered for safe as soon as the situstion of
the country where it lies viii justify US In
offering it.
The item of notes, bills and checks, dis
counted South, amounting 70 S539, $50,
are loans made by John A. Fisher,
large portion of which are made payable
in Confederate money, and probably OF
little value.
From our report of the state OF the
bank, it will be seen that we have on
hand 1904, 466 of old issues of the bank.
This is about the amount collected since
we have had charge OF the bank. De-
Quoting this amount from 50 ,626 lO6, the
amount appearing from the books OF the
bank 10 have been issued prior to the 9th
of May, 1861, will leave 81 S24, $40 which
is the amount OF the old issue outstAnd-
ing.
There is a possibility that this large
amount of the old issue (SSO4, 1856, now
on hand might be abstracted and put
into circulation again. The keeping Of
it imposes 8 heavy responsibility upon
the Trustee, and he respectfully asks that
authority should be given to burn the
same from time to time, an accurate
record being kept of the amount and
denomination of the notes burned;
Trustee OF the Bank OF Tennsssse.

A bill for an act Incorporating Croton
overton Academy at Memphis. Passed.
Rutland weekly herald. [volume] (Rutland, Vt.) 1859-1877, 1867-06-20
Washington Items.

The Chronicle says that it knows
that General Grant, no matter what his
views were on April l, now indorses
Gen. Sheridan for his removal of Gov.
Wells.
--Advices received at Gen. Grants
headquarters from New Orleans show
that Gen. Sheridan has commenced the
reorganization Of the police force in that
city, and has appointed several colored
men as policemen.
But one juror was obtained on
Thursday in the Surratt case, William
B. Todd, q retired merchant of that city.
Every Kind of excuse was devised by
the large number announced on Thurs.
day, and most all got off on some plea,
Several meetings ofthe bar in Mont
gomery, Ala, have been held recently,
with view to impeach Judge Busted
before Congress, but in anticipation of
such action suits have been brought in
the State Circuit Court against him on
charges of corruption and conspiracy.
The President on Thursday stated
in conversation that the complications
Rutland weekly herald. [volume] (Rutland, Vt.) 1859-1877, 1867-06-20

and differences arising under the recon-
structlon act were such that he was of
opinion that II Congress did not meet in
July that he should call an extra session
on the LIST of August. This is authen.
tic, being derived from an authoritative
source.
The surratt trial makes slow progress.
1t excites deep interest, not because the
people care very much for Surratt, but
because of the fact that 1t Is the first
civil trial OF person charged with the
murder of the President Of the United
States. A vast amount Of intensely in
teresting evidence is expected TO be in
troduced on both sides. Some OF 1t is
old, but the greater part will be new.
Surratt's friends confidently expect his
acquittal, for they feel sure that it will
be hard to prove his connection with
Booth In the assassination plot.
Having commented at considerable
length in a modified vein Of disparage-
ment on the position Of General Long
street, as defined in his late letters, the
New Orleans Times observes "a portion
of the Republican party seem to claim
full right and title TO Gen. Longstreet
Since the publication Of his letter to
Mr.. Barker the more enthusiastic have
on several occasions spoken Of him as q
very suitable candidate for the position
Of United States Senator, and there
seems to be little doubt among then
that full pardon and amnesty will b.
granted him by Congress Immediately
upon converting another session. Tit
wishes of the General do not seem t
have been consulted"
