The Valley Virginian. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1865-1895, 1871-09-07

Several weeks ago we suggested the emil
nent propriety of having bank in Staunton,
IF discount and deposit, to be managed By our
people, and to be restricted to per cent. in
loaning money The idea was received with
much favor in all circles, aud the earnest
wish expressed that the scheme would be
speedily reduced to practical operation. We
have not space this week to do more than
refIeshen the minds of our readers and the
citizens generally on the subject, and to state
that there is one gentleman, not resident OF
this State, an experienced banker, who is de-
sirous of removing to the Valley of Virgin
ia, who is willing to invest from $4,000 to
$4,000 in the enterprise. The bank of
Rockbridge was started some six months ago,
upon the same idea here suggested, with a
paid in capital of $4,000. It now has at
least s75 900 paid in capital, and the stock
is selling at FIVE per cent, premium. We
are very we'll satisfied that deposit loan
could be secured in less than twelve months
of from 100000 to 100000. If it were a
bank of the people, and operated for the ac-
commodation Of the people, it would receive
the deposits of the people. All the dividends
would be retained at Eome and spread among
those from whom they were drawn.
The plan is feasible and entirely practical
Bile, and we want it to be taken hold Of and
pushed to successful realization. Let pa
pers be drawn up-subscription of stock ia
ken-a charter secured-and the Bank be
put into operation as soon as possible. Six
per cent. is as much as community whose
business is based on agricultural operations,
can afford to pay. The popularity which
such an institution would soon gain, would
secure heavy deposits, which would enable
c dividend to be declared semi annually equal
to that announced by the National Banks,
which never touch piece of paper at less
than IL per cent, and whose stock is mainly
held in distant communities, where the divi-
dends are distributed

it is that Republic is not the creation Of a
law giver, and it demands for is origin and
existence com bination Of favorable circum-
stances. 1t takes root and thrives best in an
advancing society, and demands the safe
guard Of much honesty of purpose and a
powerful public opinion. Superstition, great
inequalities Of fortune, and veneration for
high birth, as we'll as an inordinate desire for
power, and the Injuries and enjoyments of
life, are extremely unfayorabe to it's existence
AS a Commonwealth is the highest ideal of a
State, 1t requires to be maintained by high
IDEAL IF character . Where the standard of
Individual character is too low Republic

individuals which compose the State are SO
servile that they will fss5 resist oppession

The General Convention of the Protest
ant Episcopal Church, which meets in Bati.
more carly in October: will have to consider
the report Of the Committee on Rubri cal
Amendments, which is likely to provoke a
discussion on some Of the principal points on
which the High Church and Low Church
parties are at issue. This Committee have
recently had several long and busy sessions,
and are reported to have been unanimous in
their opinions. The result at which they
have arrived is not known, nor does it follow
that the Convention will prove of so harmo-
NOUS disposition as the Committee have
exhibited. There is, indeed, every probable
ity Of an excited and bitter debate on the rlt-
ualistic questions which now agi.ate the
Church and, if previous experience counts
for anything, it is not unlikely that the whole
subject may be postponed to the next Geuer-
al Convention.
