Report of the Comptroller of the
Currency. z"

Report of the Comptroller of the
Currency. 2"
Mr.. H. R. Hurlburd, Comptroller of the
Currency, has completed his report. Its
chief points, heretofore briefly noticed, are
rs follows
The Comptroller suggests that national
banking associations which 60 into voluntary
liquidation be required to provide for their
outstanding circulation in lawful money,
and take up their bonds within three or SIX
months; in default of which the Comp
treller shall have power to sell their bonds
by auction in New York city, and, after
paying to the Treasurer the amount of the
outstanding circulation of the bank in law
full money, to pay over any excess that
may be realized from the sale Of the bonds
to the association or its legal representa-
tives. Banks that are winding up for the
purpose Of consolidating with other banks,
or with view of re0rganizing at some
other and more desirable points, should be
excepted from the foregoing requirements.
In regard to central redeeming agency,
the Comptroller says: The opinion was
expressed in the last annual report from
this office that it was important that sys-
tenn Of redemptions for national bank notes
should be established as early as practical
BILE, by means of which they should be
made convertible into the lawful money of
the country, whether it be paper or gold, at
the principal centre Of trade Without re-
peating the argument then made, the con-
victioni is again expressed that only byrigid,
unfailing redemptions at central point
can the bank currency Of the country be
Kept at uniform par yalue.n
Inc Comptroller speaks as follows in re-
gard 10 the periodical stringency in New
iork city: " A careful study of the bank
statements Of New York, taken separately,
ana the application Of the facts 80 obtained
70 inc aggregate statement OF abstract of the
whoie, affords valuable and instructive in.
formation. The abstract shows the total of
loans 10 De $l63 1884 900. An examination
OF the statements in detail shows the cha
racter OF the loans to be substantially as
follows: Commercial or business paner
$90,000,000; demand loans, S6s. 500 Doc !.
accommodation loans, So, SOC, 900: susnapd,
ed loans, 81 100000. Total, $i06, 500 600.
Nine-sixteenths, or rather more than half
the loan, is legitimate business paper; the
balance is upon call or for accommodation.
The amount loaned on call for commercial
purposes is not stated, but trustworthy in
formation leads to the belief that it is very
small. The customs and necessities of trade
are Of such character as to preclude loans
Of this kind.
In addition to this direct loan Of $70,-
100000 they furnished facilities by means
of certified checks to the same class of ope-
rators to an amount ranging from $ll0,-
900, 900 to $l20,O00,000 daily. On the 5th
of October the amount was $ll2, 800, 900,
and these checks are made to swell the
amount of individual deposits. They are
credited to depositors as money, and are
circulated and treated as money by the
Banks and by their customers. Yet, when

the National Board Of Trade.


The selection of Richmond as the place
for holding the next annual session Of the
National Board of Trade may be regarded
as declaration by that highly respectable
body that they consider the war at an end,
and desire TO recognize Virginia az State as
truly within the Union as any other o'a'e'
and entitled to all the rights of any otner
State. Our people will be gratifed oy TINS
action, and will so receive the BOARD Oh
Trade next year as to cause them tofeel
that our houses and our hearts are open to
all who are worthy of place in either. we
are willing to meet our northern brethren
AZ equals or as friends, but not as our supe-
riors nor as dictators Of policy to be.pur-
sued by US for the purpose Of concilieting
their good will. The members Of. the Ma
sional Board Of Trade, whether they be
Radicals or Democrats, will not hear word
while in this city to which they will take
exception. They viii find themselves out
done in iberality Of feeling and conduct.
They have manifested most commendable
spirit in selecting Richmond as a place
of meeting; and the country will be the
gamer.
Would that the Chesapeake and Ohio rail-
road we're ready for the use Of the delegates
from the great West. Its necessity is GER
tilted by the fact that they will have to come
by way of Washington city.
The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1868-12-08

GEoRGIA.-The Republicans, or Radicals,
Of Augusta, Ga, have in public meeting re-
solved that Georgia, as State in the Union,
is entitled to all the rights possessed by any
other State, and that Congress ought not to
attempt further interference in her affairs.
This is the true ground to take. Congress
has no more right to pass law touching
the exercise Of the right of suffrage, or the
eligibility of negroes to Office, in Georgia,
than one regulating the same privileges in
Ohio or New York. If the northern mem
bers of Congress shall claim the right to
legislate for Georgia in respect of any mat
ter, they will thereby concede the right of
Congress to legislate for the northern States
not only as respects that matter, but upon
any and all subjects. No man can now
draw a line of distinction between the po-
itical status of the reconstructed States and
that of the so-called loyal States.

al THE CESAR GRIFFIN CAsE.-The public
is often reminded of the African chief who,
after gulping down his dinner of human
flesh, orders proclamation to be made that the
rest of the kings Of the earth may eat their
dinners. UNDERWOOD is less liberal. He
bears his blushing honors thick upon him,
and affects as much state as the African
"man and brother" but he makes procla-
nation that MoNcURE, JoYNEs, sHEFFEY,
MEREDITH, CRITCHTER, MARSHALL, and the
rest of our honored judges, are only "pre-
tended judges" We have never expected
a different decision, and so are not disap-
pointed. The case goes to the Supreme
Court of the United States, and Judge
SHEFFEY will continue to discharge the du-
ties of his Office until it is decided by that
tribunal, unless. indeed, General SToNEMAN.
should decide it by the sword. We trust
that he will await the action of the Supreme
Court.
