The Bank of the State.
Mr.. C. r. Miles, of Charleston, introduce =
the following preamble and resolutions:
Whereas. the assets of tho Bank of the State
| constitute fund in court in the case OF DAD
! nev, Morgan IL Co. VS.. the president ana az
| rectors of the Bank Of the State ct al, which
| il to bo distributed among the creditors as soon
M the final decree of the Supreme Court of the
| United States is made, by which payments the
liability of the State for past due debts will be
to that extent diminished, to the relief OF the
taypayers of the State, aud the taxpayers are
therefore directly interested III the honest
preservation and management and proper ap-
propriaton of said assets among the creditors
entitled thereto, and have the right to be tuily
informed as to the past administrator ana the
present condition and value of said funds, so to
be applied for their relief; and, whereas, it has
been repeatedly alleged, and is generally be-
heved, that proceedings have been had and
orders made in said cause, without notice
to the solicitors or parties in the cause entitled
to the said fund, under which the said fund
has been loaned out on insufficient ana una
v.ilable securities, and loans which have been
sufficiently secured have been paid i'll bills of
the said bank at the par value. Whereby
the said assets have been wasted, and the
value of the said fund very greatly dl-
minished. and the action of the court the
receiver. and the borrowers of the said
fund have been generally and publicly I'M
nunned: and whereas, the Legislature have
annointcd Joint committee to thoroughly in
ycstirate the condition of the said fund and
report the samo at the earliest practicable
moment. and said joint committee has already
taken testimony as to tho management and
the present condition Of the said fund, but has
not as yet made any report, but pending the
said investigation or of the said joint commit
teo has been APPOINTED receiver of the said
fund against the protest of those representing
the creditors entitled to tho said fund; and,
whereas, it is the duty Of this Convention to
the taxpayers of the State thoroughly and i'm
partially and fearlessly to investigate all the
proceedings had in relation to the said assets
of the bank that those unjustly accused aud
suspected may lie vindicated and to the end
that Just censure and the reprobation Of the
country shall regardless of political opinions,
party affiliation official position or social stand
ing, fall upon all who have contributed to. con-
niycd Mt or benefited by improper administra-
ton of said fund and wasting OF said assets:
Rcsoired That n committee of five be ap-
pointed by the president, whose duty it shall
be to confer with tho joint committee appoint
ed bv the Legislature, and obtain their report
and the testimony taken by them; to confer
with the representatives Of the creditors entl-
tied to tho said assets, and to make such other
and further investigation az may be necessary to
discover and disclose whatever Of corrupt prac-
tice and misconduct or fraud may have been
committed in relation thereto, and how and by
whom committed, and to obtain and report all
