OtTU Neighbor's Cats.?Under the a- j bovo caption, nn Alabama paper makes the following remarks concerning the Banks of Carolina and Georgia : UA day or two since, we Npokc id" our .neighbor's cats. VVe recur now to the intercsting a 111111.1 Is, y. itli the hope that the members of the Legislature?which is n:i?n to assemble?will extend theii zoological i inquiries, and do something towards the relief of the Alabama cream jug. It is time j that we begip to look after our own house I hold, and nee -if the mouths irr harr at lu>m< are pot as nmny as we can till. "The monetary condition of any community .is always a deln-ato proueh il with till caution and a <ltu> consideration of the interests of all concerned.? ' Hot there are facts in the e ise?and the i first fact is, that .money is tiglitei .in Mont- I gotnery tlian it ha* been since , Ifco?. j The second fact is, that the tightness is j chiefly caused by the action of the Hanks ??f Georgia and Carolina. These Hanks, it is j well known, have their special agents seat- j tored all over the cotton producing section. ! forcing their bills into circulation wherever j they can. They are cotton Hanks, emphatically ; they go in for buying every crop. I and ol into years they have made a good deal of money in speculation. And while] they are thus roaming about in the fields of t speculation, they care Very little whom tin y injure. The Central J3aiik of Alabama, at Montgomery, being a solid, legitimate establishment, doing a regular business, is ; sometimes in their path ; and they there > fore make war upon it, in a variety of ways Their ugents, secretly sometimes,and .some- j times, openly collect the notes of our Hank 4 r\ <-!?-? ?It 11 1 ?v/ uiiiw k1"" mereon. Keeping the instiliilion indisposed to niTord facilities to our < business men, when it is known that lite ! notes are .to be returned immediately lor .coin. "If the issues of these Georgia and Carolina Banks wore not so adroitly forced up ?p the cotton market, nt points remote.from their counters, a very prompt remedy ini^m b? suggested at once. But tliey lutvc so i long had the confidence of our planters and others,that tlicy can now with impunity " heel" as tunny persons as they plei.se. to | speculate in cotton for tlu-m. and to drive -out of circulation llio notes of our own in- I alitutions. "Ono would think that an Alabama Bank which pay8 ten per rent a year and lavs by i i fiinl'inir f'nn 1 r-?* ' * 1 1 vj i m i */? OlJ^Ul IO UiMlK I*; J to get a circulation hero in Alabama. But such Is not the case?the Northern Hank I notes arc by some hocus poena kept ?t a ! cU? count : while Georgia ami (,'arolina notes 1 redeemable hundreds of miles oil", are the currency. We do not believe that all this is right. Our Legislature charters Hanks to furnish a circulation for our people, and every one j will nt once see the advantage of having a local circulation and of paying home institutions the profits of hanking Our Neighbora'-Cats won't let us do this. Financial [ ly, our State is but an appanage of two or three cities east of us. It seems to us-, that something might be done by legislation, to .correct this state of tilings, and w e shall continue to call attention to the subject, from this until the assembling of the Legislature." The evil of which this Alabama T.ditor complains, is a serious one indued, not only i to the Centra! Bank o! Montgomery, and possibly to the oilier .Banks in Alabama, Mississippi and Tennessee, but to the peo pie of Koulli Carolina. This clearly ex-! plains the reason why we cannot obtain money from our Banks when it is needed to sustain and carry on the legitimate business of the Planters and Merchants. The paper circulation of our Banks far exceeds I their specie basis as well as the limit allow - I ed then) by tluir Charters?this obliges tfiom to specelnte on their credit ; to do i this with success, as well as impunity, their paper must be sent as far as possible from home, to the detriment of the place of issue and the Bankintr e. I""1" where it*circulation is thus forced. A few years ago the legislature of this Slate passed an Act prohilnting the circulation of Billsicss than 95,of nny oilier State; now let the Legislature of Alabama, Mississippi nnd other Western Stales do likewise for tho protection of their Banks.? We have no desire to disparage the Bank notes of South Carolina but when it is more generally known what a cold reeep. lion the Bills of all other States meet with in this Stat), there is no doubt they will adopt some retaliatory measures to defend their own Banks and drive these intruders from Carolina and Georgia from their com- ! munition to where they belong. We would suggest to the Central Bank of Montgomery to receive these deposits'and in payment of Drafts, Notes iic. A.e? and send them home for redemption, nnd in addition to this let it establish special Agencies in Carolina nnd Georgia. The ALbumn Editor hnvino so eleurlv solved th? mr>(?r? <" ua, lot us no longer ask the silly question "where is the money ?" the reply .sun only he, "not nt home." These may ho culled "hnrJ times" hut they will not ho iu vaio ; such tiuios will ' lead th? people to investigate the true causes, and when the people do move in the mat- ; tor, Corporations may tremble'fur the'trulh must come sooner or later.
