But this is not all the committee did. Be-
fore leaving Memphis they gave the bank a
certificate of solvency in the following
words:
The undersigned, committee of the Gen.
eral Assembly of the State of Tennessee,
having been delegated to examine the af-
fairs of the National Bank and Fiscal Agent
for West Tennessee, with regard to the
safety of the public money deposited in
said bank, take pleasure in saying they have
been met with a promptness on the part of
the managers Of that bank truly commend
able. They have met our demand, and zoe
hare no beSddncy in saying that zoe regard
the bank ENTIRELY SAFE, and trust it may
continue TO do prosperous and profitable
business. 1t has our best wishes for its
success, and zoe shall take an eGrly occasion
to present the subject to the Legislature in q
most favorable light. w. Bosom,
W. SPENCE,
JOHN NORMAN,
W. Y. ELLIOTT.
Now contrast these reports with that of
the Bank Examiner under the National
Banking law. Here we have committee
of the Tennessee Legislature, one member
of which had been President Of bank,
certifying to the solvency and safety of
bank which, according to the report Of the
Bank Examiner, nLver had such standing.
1t was indeed shaky concern and wholly
unreliable from the beginning. Their re-
port to the Governor was made and their
certificate to the bank given nearly four
months after the Bank Examiner had re-
ported to the Comptroller of the Currency
that the affairs of the Bank were
so loosely conducted, and puposely
so, as to evidently impress him with
the idea that fraud was contemplated.
Were the members Of the committee de-
ceived; did they know so little of the bust
ness Of banking as to be so easily imposed
upon, or were they simply doing little
withdrawing for the benefit of a friend
and supporter of the Brownlow administra-
ton, who was conducting the Fiscal Agency
Of the State in West Tennessee? The
thing looks ugly any way. This "school
fund" and its connection with the Tennes-
see National Bank of Memphis has never
been thoroughly sifted. Every turn of the
wheel brings to light some new and ugly
development, not the least important of
which is the report of Examiner Bull. A
thorough investigation into this matter
would reveal one of the most suggestive
episodes in the Brownlow rule in Ten
nessee.

AZ AImosT FoRGoTTEN FRAUp.

We print elsewhere some very interest
ing developments touching the solvency Of
the Tennessee National Bank of Memphis,
of which George R. Rutter was President,
and which was made the depository of the
sacred school fund.- during the early days
of the Brownlow administration in this
State. The 'school fund" ($61S,250) was
deposited In this bank on the 9Th Of June,
1866, and the report we publish to-day
shows it was hOpelessly insolvent at that
time if it was not wOrse-a swindle. Three
or four months after Examiner Bull re-
ported the condition of the Tennessee Ma
tional Bank of Memphis to the Comptroller
of the Currency at Washington, rumors
affecting the solvency of the institution got
out in Nashville, and Messrs. VIM. Bosom
and VIM. Spence, Of the Senate, and Messrs.
John Norman and w. Y. Elliott, of the
House of Representatives, were sent to
look after the "school fund.- and bring it
back if it could be found. Now, what did
they discover in relation to the condition of
the bank which was the depository of the
"school fund.-" On their return they sub
mitted report to the Governor, which is
as follows:
NASHVILLE, Dec. Is, 1S66.-Gov. G.
W. Brownlow-Sr: The committee ap-
pointed by the Legislature to proceed to
Memphis TO Investigate into the
condition and security of the school fund of
the State, deposited by the Treasurer in the
Tennessee National Bank at Memphis, re-
spsctfully present: That in the discharge
of the duties entrusted to them, they at
once proceeded to Memphis and presented
the Treasurers drafts on the Tennessee
National Bank for the amount deposited,
and were met by the President of the bank
in a spirit of manly candor, exhibiting an
earnestness to furnish the committee with
the condition of the bank and the evidence
of its ability and purpose to meet at once
the demands of the committee. The COM
nittee ScrutiniSed the condition Of the bank,
AND WAS IMPRESSED WITH ITS SOLYENCY.

written the day after the interview Is said to have

ances that 1t will be the biggest thing of the year.
The letters being received now are Of q liveler

large lists OF delegates. The chairman OF the New
