Bank of Memphis. This bank
was organized in January, 1865,
under favorable auspices, and at
the time received the State depos-
its; was making money, but as
soon as it became the victim of
political manipulation, its future
became sealed. 1t was agreed a.
mong leading Radical politicians
OF the State, among whom are S.
NJ. ArnelI, James Mullins, Gener-
al John Eaton, Jr., Barbour Lew
| is, Smith & Co., that if this bank
would stand up to the Radical
party, all the weight and power
of the party would be brought to
bear to favor it by any and all
means. Twenty thousand dollars
was advanced to them by which
to perpetuate their power in Mem
phis through the Metropolitan
Police of that city. Constant ap-
plications and assessments were
made upon me for money to sup
port the party in its manipulation
of State and local politics. A
good deal of money was used by
the agents of the bank and myself
among the leading and prominent
members of the Legislature of
Il666-67, as also among leading
and prominent Radical politicians
in other sections of the State, in
the appointment of this bank as
fiscal agent. Some of these men,
among whom are Spence, Noel
wee, Mullins, ArnelI, Eaton, Lew
is, etc., when | had become SO
completely mixed up in the filthy
messes (meshes) of political cor
ruption, became SO persistent in
their demands for money, that
black mail and every species of
fraud was resorted to by some of
them to obtain money, which was
distributed among Loyal Leagues,
paid out for the sustenance OF
negroes, transferred by General
Smith and Samuel Arnell to send
them to Congress. Money was
paid out to sustain and support
General Eaton's paper, the Mem.
phis Post. The Press and Times
the Radical State organ, was paid
money to assist us in the passage
of the bill. Richards, Speaker of
the House, was furnished with
money to pay his matrimonial Elk.

my own statements, it will be seen
by reference to the last report, that
not only did leading men of this
party vote for the bill creating fs-
cal agents, but advised the Treas
urer to deposit this fund in this
bank, which was fully covered in
the bill. am satisfied that their
secret purpose was to take this

in the Senate to establish, d State
National Bank, for political puf-
poses, and it failed, and the Ten
nessee National Bank was used in
It's stead. 1t appears that Arnell
wanted to non-concur in the pas
sage of the forty-third section. The
reason was that he wished to in
sert the name of the Tennessee
National Bank, and fix it as the
fiscal agent beyond doubt, for I
sat near him during its discussion.
