OHIO LEGISLATURE. Mk. Dumlevv, from tho Commillee on Banks and the Currency, pruenled the following Report: The Standing Committea on Danki and the Currency, to which woe roforrcd resolution No. 1 8 of the House, instructing thorn to "enquiro and -report, at as rmrly a day as practicable, whether, in t lie ir opinion, tho chnrters of nny of the Banks in this Slate, have been violated in any wny, and Earticularly whotlter any of their charters have ecome subject to forfeiture by Ihe suspension of specie payments; and, if so, whether it is competent for the Lrgislnturr, previous to any judicial action thereon, to repeal or dcclaro such charters void:" and to which were also reforred the memorial from citizensof Hamilton county, praying for certain exnininations into the standing of the Banks of this Stale, and laws enacted in relation thereto; and also a petition from citizens of Medina county, praying for an immediate abrogation of all Bank charters Report, That Iho questions roferrcd to tho Committee by the above resolution and memorials, are of grave import, and require a careful and thorough examination, in order to arrive at a correct conclusion. Tho Committee have endeavored to give the subject all the attention which their engage-menu in Ihe House, ond on oilier questions, would permit; but regrot lo any that, in a matter of so much importance, thoy have had loss time and opportunity for research than thoy could have de-ired. ... , The Committee, it is perceived, from the nature of the questions referred to thorn, occupy a del t-cnte position, and one which Ihoy could have wished to avoid. On the one hand, thoy are required to pass judgment of condemnation on (he Bonks, without a hooring, and it might be to their prejudice; or, on the other, to express opinions giving, to some extent, legislaiive sanction to their proceedings, snd, in that way, apparently forestalling judicial investigation. It is with a full sense of the delicacy of the duties imposed on the Commillee, in this view of Ihe subject, that they now give tho result of their investigations. If in Ihese, they have fallen into error, tho Committee hope snd trust that the House will correct nv mi.mke of fact or unsound deduction; and, believing it will do so, they cheerfully submit their views to its revision. . The questions relerred to the Committee, by nan, granted in 1 1129, is the hrel which contained prohibit unauthorised banking. Under these circumstances, and wilh a full knowledge of the frequency ol bank suspensions, it may be interred that the Legislature of 1816, had an eye to all the contingencies of banking, and frumed the act of that year with a view to secure the publio against all such abuses as they llnught it neces sary lo provido against. This set subjects the Banks, papers, correspondence end tunds, at all times, to the inspection of any agent appointed by the Legislature to make examination into their affairs. It also provides that no dividend shall be made imt)nirinir the capital stock t that at lenst one-hnlf of the capital paid in, shall be in specie; that the debts owing by said Banks, exclusive of depositee, shall not at any time exceed three times the amount nf the slock paid in, and makes the directors, under whose administration such excess was created, liable in their private capacities therefor. That act also provides, that il any of said Banks fail to comply wilh all and singular ., ;.: .1 J... ' : I r .1 no requisitions nnu mine, leijuircu Ul WIBlii, respectively, by tliat act, they shall "forfeit all and every advantage, privilege and benefit nf this act; and, from the lime of such failure, shall be placed, adjudged and considered in the same condition and situation as if the act had nover been passed." Ths next section providos "thnt the Su preme Court shall havs full power and jurisdiction, upon a writ of quo warranto, to hear and determine all questions touching the violation or lorteiture ol cnanors or oilier privileges granted by this or any subsequent act, and to judgo them to be forfeited or otherwise, ns right and justice may require." But, while the Legislature hod beon thus particular, in guarding against special evils, and providing for the enforcement of the penalties imposed for such abuses as they had thought proper to prohibit, it is worthy of remark, that, neither in the act of 1818, nor in any of the charters of Bnnks which had preceded it, is there any thing said about the redemption of bills and notes of the seversl Banks with gold and silver. In the years 1817, 1818 and 11)20, several other Banks were incorporated with charters similar to the act of 1810; and no others until the year 1829. From the scopo of all these, it would, therefore, oppeer to the Committee, that it was not the intention of tho Legislature to impose a forfeiture nf the charter of any Bank prior to the year 1829, for failure to redeem Its notes and bills, at all times, with gold and silver, as nothing is said in their chortors, among the many duties snd restrictions imposed, in relation lo this subject. This opinion, it scorns to the Committee, is strengthed by a provision found in the 11th section of a law of January 28, 1824, regulating judicial proceedings, where Bunks and Bankers are parties; which provides "that, whore any Bank nr Banker shall commence and continue to redeem their notes or bills with lawful money, the interest on their notes or bills shall cease from tho commencement of such redemption, by their giving six weeks previous notice, in some newspaper having general circulation in the county whero such Bank or Banker transacts Banking business, of Ihe time they intend to redeem their notes or bills with lawful money." This section, in express terms, contemplates the continsoncy of sus pending specie payments; and, if it do not pro vide Ihe remedy ttiereior, grants nn exemption in favor of Banks which have suspended, wholly in-consistent.it would ssem to tho Committee, with the position that such suspension incurred a forfeiture of the chnrtcr. The chnrter if the Commercial Bank of Cincin- point. and in reference to thia provision of the not be directly impaired by the Legislature.

As to a simulisneous examination into the affairs of Iho Banks, by commissioners oppointed by tho Legislature, prayed for by the memorial from Hamilton county, the Committee do not conceive that eny good which could result, would warrant so groat ntt expenso as it would necessarily incur. The condition of the Banks in this State, have but re which the refusal of any Bank to redeem ilsnotes, cently been reported to the Legislature; and the as referred toin iheabove proviso, is to bo "duly Committee are not aware of any end to be en-established, in the proper Court having iurisdic- swered by a personal examination uf agents, on tion inereot." it is evident, however, that Ihe tne ssme any inrougiiout tne otate, unless it Legislature in that clause, has reserved to iisell would be to carry out the proposition of the metric right of altering, amending, or repealing the morialists, to require new security of directors and charters to which it is attached, upon the condi- stockholder, where the agent supposed it neces-tion therein expressed, and not without compli- ssry, or to onjoin proceedings by the Bsnk where snce wilh it.
