feared he would be weak-that is, as to the status
Of the colQred man. He WINS harrnssed almost
daily for weeks by Southern delegations to secure
his influence for or against the Rice Butler bill
for reconstructing Georgia. In regard to this
matter he has taken advanced Republican ground,
first by approving the bill before Congress (but
not pressed for want of timc) at the last session,
and next practically indorsing it by nominating
colored men for Office, not only in Georgia, but

NATIONAL BANK REroRTs. The reports from
national banks, under the call of the Comptrol-
Ter to show their condition on the 18th inst, have
come in quite rapidly The exhibit made is. ON
the whole, very satisfactory. 1t is found that
large numbers of banks which in making up the
quarterly returns have been accustomed to show
a slight excess of reserve fund, now show slight
deficiency, but the Comptroller looks upon this
TACT as one indicating healthy state of affairs
among the banks. The quarterly returns are of
course prepared for weeks in advance and are
sure to look well, but so favorable an exhibit of
the actual working condition of the banks as a
whole, was hardly expected, and is quite crafty
