The Peoples Bank.

We doubt whether there is any city in the
United States in which banking capital can
be steadily employed with more safety and
more profit than in Charleston. The close of
the war found the State without any bank
ing capital, and the, establishment of the
two National banks and the Loan and Trust
Company and revival Of the Peoples, the
Union, and other State banks do not give
this city more than one-tenth OF the capital
it requires. In 1860 South Carolina had
about s14, OOO,O 900 of banking capital; now
we have about $4,000 900. And we need
more capital now than We did ten years ago,
for the reason that the currency value OF the
cotton crop is more than doubled, and the
field OF our business operations is both larger
ard more remote What capital has been
painfully accumulated by the people OF the
State has passed, for the most part, into
buildings, stock and implements; the re-
mainder is gradually finding employment in
railroads, in factories, and in our banks.
But if we would have our commerce increase
with rapidity, we must add, with rapidity, to
our commercial capital. Upon this depends
the measure of our business progress. And
We firmly believe that if the. advantages of
cur position are set forth in the proper way,
we shall have no serious difficulty in obtain
ING, at home and abroad, the monetary cap
ital we require. To this end every effort
should be directed, for upon our success in
this particular depends, in a very large de-
gree, Our prosperity and wealth.
The Peoples Bank, one of the most re-
spectacle OF our financial institutions, is now
in the market for an increase Of capital. In
their statement OF assets and liabilities, sub
mitted last week, the directors show clear
surplus OF about $3.50, 900, making the shares
of the bank worth Sc 25 At this rate the
bank will buy these shares, and will issue
'sully paid up shares Of s25 each at par. The
object OF this proposition is to bring up the
bank capital to its old amount, sl,OOO,oOO.
We need hardly say that a capital OF one
million dollars can. be handled with much
less proportionate expense than capital OF
one quarter of that sum, and the success
which has attended the operations OF the
Peoples Bank indicates that an increase OF
capital will make it remarkably profitable to
the stockholders, as well as substantial adj
vantage to the whole mercantile commu-
nifty. 81
The gentlemen who have the affairs OF the
Peoples Bank in keeping are well known in
Charleston; and some Of them enjoy high
reputation in the North and in England.
Mr.. Laftte, the president OF the bank, is o
;fnancier Of great experience and ripe abili-
III, and among the directors are chosen rep
resentatives Of every class of mercantile and
commercial interest. The Peoples Bank is
already strong in public esteem, and an in
crease of capital sufficient to give it larger
scope will undoubtedly, make it one OF the
very first, in profit and standing, of our
banking institutions.

>ai we'll known, has nei.
ther no'iey nor credit to aid in the con-
struction Of railroads, as has been ex
tensively done in other States, nor were
it other wise, could she do So, as conv
stitutional provision which, in her un-
fortunate condition, is undoubtedly a
wise one, prohibits the loan Of State
credit to any private enterprises.
1t becomes, therefore, necessity at
once apparent to all that she offer every
other possible induceinent to the intro
duction Of railroad capital.
This bill here introduced, is believed
to at once. fill the measure of all that
Mississippi can do in the premises. 1t
is believed, too, that it will accomplish
morc for the future of the State than
even its most ardent friends dare to
hope.
II at once and for the future removes
all Of the various obstacles .hitherto in
the way of the introduction of railroad
capital, such rs difficulties attendant up
on expensive and oft times impossible
legislation:. local obstacles, such as OBJ
tanning the right of way, with neeessa-
ry lands, &C.,
1t says Ito the capitalist, we throw
open the tield-herc is at once rendered
as the law of Mississippi, all the vari-
Gus statutory provisions which the wis
dom OF years of railroad legislation in
the Older and more progressive States
has shown to be most effective in aid of
the construction Of railroads. If we
cannot help with material aid, we will
at least offer all the facilities afforded by
those pattern States ofprogression- Obi
0, Illinois, Iowa, Missouri--and under
the late regime of Arkansas as well.
1t wipes out at one blow all special rail-
road legislation, and substitutes instead
a law which ia complete railroad law
of itself, IN fact, 4 complete digest of
the laws of our most progressive West
ern States, passed to meet the various
requirements in aid of railroad construc-
ton, as also in guarding the interests of
the State. Let us see what a saving in
expense alone this law will be to our
State simply in the way of legislation.
They are now in various stages Of man
ipulatiOn an almost iunumerable num-
ber OF railroad charters. Of how much
value, or how many, are and must ever
remain mere paper schemes, is of little
consequence here. AL will take good
deal Of our time. II is, perhaps, not
saying two much that in the whole 5e
would consume thirty days in legisla-
ting upoa railroad charters.
1t is estimated that the expense Of
this Legislature to the people OF the
State Is two thousand dollors worth of
time consumed in railroad legislation -
Now here is bill that at once answers
every possible demand of the whole. -
Not one of these schemes, ifthe propOs-
ed corporates have confidence enough
in the success of their enterprise, or
are able to subscribe among themselves
an amount of stock equal to the sum of
one thousand dollars per mile on tho
line they propose to build but can incor-
porate under this law.
If thoy cannot comply with this sim
pie provision, they most certainly have
lit lc business to talk Of building rail-
road.
The proposed corporators have but TO
write.out their articles Of Incorporation,
y M pee with the simple provis-
kaw, subscribe their names
