Friday Deccmbei 1G. BANK OF MACON The Senate took up the following'report. which being read was agreed to : The committee to whom were referred the annual statement of the Batik of Macon, the memorial of ,-evera! citizens of the town of Macon, the counter memorial of the Pre-ideut of that Bank, and accompanying documents Report :— That having carefully examined llie refer red statements, they are of opinion, that the Bank ism a sound and stable condition. Bo fer your committee are advised, the limits prescribed by its charier* have been strictly observed, and its requisitions fully complied with The amount of- specie in its vaults hills little short ot the runount of capital stock paid in. The amount of bills in circulation i* considerably less than its capital stock would warrant, consistently with the provisions of its character. Believmg ! hat the nffV irs of the Institution are managed with good faith to the public, and profit to the stock-holders, your committee woujd cheerfully submit a resolu tion expressive ot that belief, and take have of the subject. But due’respect* to the me- moralists, who have preferred a charge against the Bank, and justice to (lie Biuk itself, re quire an investigation into the subject matter ol complaint. The memorial alleges a violaliorvof the I3th section of the act of incorporation, which provides for prompt redemption, on demand, < t the bills of the Bank, and concludes, with •» prayer for an investigation into its afTiirs, under the 14rhruJe of the 7th section, which subjects its hooks, papers, correspondence, and tends, at all limes, to the/inspection of .a committee, to t»e appointed by the legislature for that purpose. The alleation is extremely mdefinite, inasmuch as it neither states wheth er or not the demand was made hy or in be half of any other Bank, nor whether thera was a refusal 4o pay generally, or only to pay in specie There being a provision in the charter of the Bank of Macon, by which it is authorised, when its bills .f.e presented for payment, by or in behalf of another Bank, to pay in the bills of the B ink so presenting and demanding payment. Such statement in the allegatiiarc deemed necessary. The al!e gation. general as it is, is wholly unsupported by any evidenced referred to your Committee, except a copy of noiarial protect of Grey Champlain, which, in the opinion of vour exhibit *. which charge, although unsupported Ivy'any evidence, is clearly retuted, in a certi ficate of the Cashier, referred on the part of the Bank 4thlv; A written opinion of fifty two gentle men, that the Bank of Macon ought not to- oppose au investigation before the legislature. * 5tldy. A certificate of T. P Ifond, E q. setting forth the manner in which an exami nation into the affairs ef the Bank, by three gentlemen (hereinafter referred to) was con ducted. _ 6thly. A certificate of Rice Durrctt, E-q. stating that he did ne t sign the memorial a. gainst the Bank, to which hisnam • appears. 7tlily- A letter of T. P. Bond, accouipany- in the two last mei-tioned documents. All these documents, your committee think, afford no evidence of the charge contained in the memorial, wliic.h is itself a hare written declaration of seven individuals, not signing Under sanction of an oath. Assuming, however, that the cl ni ;n ib tru<v*tl is, as before observed, 'remarkably vague,and therefore susceptiideofexplanation. That explanation is afforded hy (tie counter memorial ol the President of Ihc Bank- w hich, while it docs not contradict the statement in the memorial, supplies the precision arid foil- nn.ss in which the latter is wanting. It sots forth that the pr-sen!merit of hills, and de» maud of p ivmcnt, were on behalf ofthe -Ma rine ami Fsre Insurance Bar.k of Savannah, and the payment was tendered in the hills of that Bank, which, beru? refused, a protest «nd suit at law ensued. This memorial, is. in the opinion, of your committee, to sav the least on- ■ titled <o as much credit as the ol her, and in it t lie Bank is represented in the.light of » cor pora!!/ Institution, not violating the salutary provisions of its charter, but pru.L nlly hus banding its resources, hy meeting a proving demand at once safe to itself, and consistent with the charter. But had the Batik really violated the 13th section of the act of incur- poratioh. that section prescribes a remedy by suit at law, which the party aggrieved ( f in deed there be a grievance) is now' regularly pursuing. If, therefore,-the memorialists fed any sympathy for the sufferers, or anv appre hensions-on behalf of the public, your com mittee would refer them, to the party plaintiff in that action, to whorn their assistance in m i king out the case, would doubtless, be i.i^hiy accept able. There is, however, among tie docomc.r,!s referred, an address to the committee on Banks, from T P. Bond and II B Gutters, E-qrs. imisling on the cfoirge already consid er d.nnd prelhring three adu.homd Chiirgcg against the.Bank of Macon. fot The loaning of rimre than fen tfion- sand d mhos to one individual, u hich i? for- bidden by th e Mill section ol the act of . r» - corpora i! ion. For pruul of th s c!u • rge, refor ence is made i to the Preside ui and Cn-I mer of ♦he Bank of Macon, and to 11*<* Pri i‘S'dc nt iitul Cashier of t! ie State Brink Your comri'i ice, not being invested wiih power to-scud for peT- ?oos and papers, coiliit not avail tluMn.-etens of this testimony, lin'd are therefore in li:e dark on that subject. 2 Hy. The violation of (he 13:b rn!c. 7;1» section, rtgulatuig the keeping ef minutes ; and in support ol tins charge no proof has be.jh i-ffered. 3-.l!v. Thr* purchasing of co-lfon hy rpnnt, contrary to ihe 13ih rule, 7th section; no proof of which has been submitted.- Yfour Committee cannot suppose that it ever was intended to predicate extraordinary fogi-dalrve investigation,ifite the affairs of any Bank, upon the statements of two rubvtdu- als, unsustuincil by evidence, and the !e*s so when qpon scrutiny, these statements as\umc the more airy form of vague suspicions that all is not-right. Rut the officers -S the 'Bank of M aeon* knowing that such a mcmorial hut] been pre sented ; in the exercise of abundant cautiuu, have not chosen to,rest thehr case there — Among 'he documents referred, is a state ment ol this Bank, made on the first N ;'vo«v her, the correctness of which is attested by O H. Prince, E q, W. B Rogers, President iff the Branch Bank of Darien, at Macon, and J- hu T. Rowland, President of the Branch Bank of l he Siate of Georgia. Not withstand ing much business had been-transacted by the Bank, sought fc he circumvented, in the inter val between the date of the first, and the date of the last statement, the latter represents it in a no less flourishing and sound condition, than the former. In addition to thrse circum stances, it is ajac* of general notoriety, tliat the Bills of the Bank are at par throughout the fctate,* For ail these reasons, vour com mittee aTe ot' opinion, that the investigation sought is unnecessary. And if necessary, they believe it would be improper for the follow ing reasons ; 1st. That the provision of the charter to! 'vhiLj.i the memorialists refer, prescribes an extraordinary procedure, intended to pr vent injury to liu. public, growing out of gro^s abuses of Banking pxivil ges. To induce such a step on the part, of the Legislature, there should fie proof of such abtlses, or of circum stances warranting_reasonable .presumption* that they do exist. . But on an impartial re view of all the circumstances, within thfle committee, insufficiently accounted for by the j knowledge uf veur cornniitteo, they entertain 1331. 152. To divide the -county of Randolph, ud to lay out and form a new county I here- rom. 153. To regulate the internal police of -the Penitentiary, as far as respects the guard. 154 To establish an election district in the ounty of Upson, and to punish those who may attempt to defeat the same-. - affidavit of-Jair.es Rea, Cashier, and the cer lificate of said Grey Coamplain. These documents are as follows : 1st. Two fetters written by T.. P Bond, E-q. to the present Executive of Georgia, and to his predecessors, requesting the inter ference of those officers in certain alleged dis. orders in the affairs of the Mircon Bank, and their answers, declining the interference SOUghtr 2dly. A letter from T. P. Bond and H. S. Cutter, E>qrs. (two of ihe memorialists,) to the Hon Senator from Habersham, covering a certificate, and proposing seven individuals as fit persons to constitute the contemplated committee of investigation, three of whom are signers ol the memorial, and one also a signer of Ihe same letter. 3dly. A copy of a letter addressed hy T. P.^ Bond, E-q. te 1,; Wilcox, Esq Cashier at Macon, charging that Bank with having loaned specie to the Bank of Macon, oaa late' occasion, to enable the (utter to make a fair no su-ph ioo, that such abuses are practised hy that institution. - . » 2d By well established cn«tom, full credit is given to the reports of .Banks, signed by their Presidents and Cashiers, as officers act ing under the sanction of oaths. A resolution of the legislature, ordering 1 such au investigation, would operate as a tem porary withdrawal of that credit, ana would necessarily weaken public confidence in tbo institution so distrusted. Hence wonb> resulf. depreciated currency, and loss of business, in juries, which the Legislature should not cause lessly inflict, and which the officer^.of all hanks are- in- duty hound to resist. Your committee cannot close this report without remarking that the memorial - against the Bank, comes before them in a very ques tionable shape. In the first placi, the lact that in a popular <d tne Branch Bank ol the State of Georgia lion sb large as that of Macon, the memorial* ists are only seven in number, warrants the be lief that their complaint had its origin rather in personal pique than in public grievance.
