Now what we desire to ask the Legis-

fashion above set forth. To come down
to particulars, let that honorable body

over $lisOo0, of which $4,000 draws
only q per cent interest," and $4,000

no bank pays less than 8 per cent, only
gets about $15,Oo0-all told, and the First
National, that pays 4 per cent interest,
only gets $253S6 & 81. ~ ~
When this somewhat peculiar looking
circumstance is explained, the committee
should also inquire into andreport how y
comes that CAMpEN's bank at Parkers-
