BANKING LAWS.

The Gazette has nothing but good
feeling for Mississippi and Missis-
sippians. Here in Tensas parish
most of us were either born in that
state or our fathers or grandfathers
were, and the utmost kindness ex-
lists towards our sister state. At the
same time, we cannot but feel that
those of us who have money to in
vest would do well, before lending
1t to banks, to compare, purely in a
business way, the banking laws of
our own State, and those Of our
sister, before we place our little all
in the custody of other people.
These reflections are particularly
pertinent now when so many Tensas
people have either lost their money,
or part of it, by the recent failure
OF Mississippi bank. In Louisiana
we have a rigid system of bank ex-
animation, conducted by the State
Banking Department. The Louisi-
ana Bank Examiner has plenary
. power in the regulation and control
OF the State Banks. If upon exami-
nation, he finds that loose business
is being done by any bank; that
credits are unduly extended. that
the bank is not entitled to public
confidence, he may close the insti-
tuition and liquidate its affairs. The
examination is made at no stated
periods, and our information is to the
effect that it is rigid and thorough.
On the contrary, as we are advised,
our sister state has no bank examin-
er and her banks are subject to no
inspection or control, as our banks
are as above set out. Our information
and belief is that the bank failure
above referred to could not have &C.
Cured in our state.
Recent disclosures as to the stan
dard Of public morality as evidenced
by the penitentary, the insane asy-
lum and militia scandals, in Missis-
sippi do not tend to make citizens
Of other states feel that things are
as they ought to be across the river.
Rent by faction, cursed with an
electorate made up largely of intol-
Grant illiterates, the proud State
of Jefferson Davis, George, Lamar,
and Walthall has fallen to-day into
evil case.
The Gazette laments that these
things are true, but until that great
State can rehabilitate herself, elimi-
nate the grafters and demagogues
who now appear to control her poll
cies and her government, we feel
that those Louisianians who have
few dollars to invest in Savings
Banks would do well to keep their
money at home.

without being slushy, of course.

which means deep breathing, will be

The olive oil and grape juice do no
