Bank Suspensions?Financial Matters?Hard
Times?Court Wrrk?The College?Miscellaneous.
Columbia, S. C., Oct. 12, 1857.
Mkpbrs. Barrons: On Saturday morning Inst a
telegraphic despatch was received in our c'ty announcing
that the Banks of Charleston were refusing
to receive the hills of tho Bank of the Slate.
Shortly afterwards another despatch came staling
that said bank had saspenJed specie payments,
thereby causing great excitement on Broad street
and throughout the city generally. Ihis intelligence
created n grx-J deal of talk, but not tin-slight-,
crt fears among our cii'Tens, as every <?no knows
that the Bank of tho State of South Carolina is one
of the soundest and tah.it institution* in the whole
cooutry. Its bills thin moment will pass almost as
readily as gold itself, and the idea of the- bank breaking
is tax> at sC d even to be alluded to.
What the other hanks in tho State will do roniuins
to be stcn. It is generally conceded here
that sonic of them will thmily suspend. Such a
niovcinciit on tin ir part might injure their circulation
nut ot the State, but lure ut homo would lie
productive or no real evil. We think that the peculiar
slate of financial matters ut this time would
be a sufficient justification fur their temporary suspciikiou
of specie payments.
Money matters are certainly looking more gloomy.
