"What shall be done with the Banks of
Tennessee ?' Was a question which' re
ceived a good deal of consideration several
years ago. Another question of equal im
port, perhaps greater import, now comes
np What of the Bank of Tennessee?
When the bank was brought back from the
South agreat deal of anxiety was manifest
ed to know its condition, and the proba
bility as'to what could be realized oul of its
assets. Perhaps the clearest exposition up
on these points is to be found in the report
of Mr. S. Watson, President and Trustee of
the Bank, recently submitted to the Gov
ernor, and by him transmitted to theLegie
lature.
Mr. Watfon states that the rwhole
amount of
the aFsats turned'over to the
board of directors, which was organized pa
the 1st dayfef March, SG6, was j12,4,:
953.04. Tfie United States' 7-30 bonds,
amounting to $018,250, (the proceeds of
the specie relujned, with the.bank,) arernot
included in the assets designated above, as
they are claimed by the State a3 a part of
the common 'school fund," and have 'never
been turned over to the present direcrp..
There is an account against the Treasurer
of Tennessee for $405,487.77, which . 'ap.

by actual sulc. The bills and norerln suit are
in the hands of numerous attorneys In all parte
of the State, and correspondence with them
has disclosed the f.ict that many claims In suit
have been settled, that many are of very old'dato
and tho parties iusslvont. The amount SOttlouV
and the amount insolvent, we have not been,
able to ascot tain with-aeeuraey. In our ooj

we are advised that our accounts, iu .many in
staneos, are iaeorretri and also, that ii many

that a very small amount will be realized from
this source, Tho largest portion ot the loans
made br J. A, Fisbor..are irayable in OvafetUf

be of little value. What amount of the bills

to determine. .... . . ,

Since tluiappCjintment o Mr.(Watson as

bank district to aid in winding up the
bank ; and sjnee the organization of the
present board of directors, there lias been
collected of debts due the kink, the .sum of
S-55G 789.41. We add the following para
graph from the report:
"The bankincihousoa. and Jots .in. Memphis,

"$50,000 paid over to Gov. Brownlow on ac

fifty thvo-aiid dollars was receipted for by Gov.
Brownlow .n a payment on account of the
liabilities of Thomas A. Clcago, Cashier of the
Athens branch of this bank. Tho receipt do.es
not relieve Mr. Cleagc, oranyothcr party, HOta:
any other further liability. This transaction was
a very favorable one for the bank, and it has
acsumed, without hesitation, tho responsibility
of Gov. Brownlow's act.
"Tho Bank of Tennessee commenced the col
lection of its debts many years after other banks
add creditors had been collecting their dfcbwf
and also when tho condition of the country was
very unfavorable for payment. It has also beca
met with a decision of the Courts inTegordto
Confederate money, that may interfere seriously
with its collections. With these difficulties to
contend with, we havo thought it for tho best
interests of the bank, to deal liberally with its
debtors, employing all persuasive arguments ic
the collection of its debts, and resorting as
little as possible to coercive measures. And we
think that it is in consoquence of this policy,
that debtors, in that' class of cases, where they
aro released from payment by virtue of judicial
derisions, have almost universally manifested a
willingness to pay wnat was tno value 01 me
ttTcsideration of their debt when mado.'

tho stagnation in trade is owing to the fact that
no one wants tpo goous lor any purpose, would

The wdolen manufacturers have proposed and
