The Clerk read as o “ lows: Whereasthe banking capital of theState of NewHampshire, prior to the late war. was no morethan sufficient to meetthe ordinary wantsof the business of theState; and whereasthe advancein pricesduring the latewar has madeitmuchlarger amount of capital necessaryto afford the usual banking facilities to our businesscommunity: and whereasthe change in our systemof banking recently adopted by Congresshas diminished our former facilities nearly 3/5ths. therebycompelling many sound and muchneededStatebanksto closeup their business.andmanyof our businessmento go out of the State to find bankinu facilities which wero enjoyed to a greaterextent elsewhere: Therefore. "1 emlvebdy the Senate and HoRep General Court convened That our Senatorsbe instructed, aurLour Representatives in Congressbo requested.to give this subjccttheir immediate attention. And urge upon Congress thenecessityof granting to our Statea larger amountof banking on ital., mi“tR, uimmm/veadl, iaTthealty the Governor be requested to transmit a copyof these resolutionsto the President of the Senate and Speaker of the hoRepof Congress, to the SecyTreasury, to the Comptroller of the and to each of our Sens&Reps in Congress."tional Government having undertaken to regulate this matter of banking throughout the country, having undertaken to control entirely this subject, it seems to me it is our duty to give to the States of the Union sufficient banking facilities to enable the people thereof to do their business. We have passed a bill which has deprived the State of NewHampshire of 3/5th s of its banking facilities, leaving but 2/5th s of the same to accommodate the people in their constantly increasin business, with rices largely enhanced. In the year 1862 we had in NewHampshire 52 banks, organized under our State laws, with a capital of $4,028, 700, a circulation of $3, 240,002, and deposits to the amount of $1, 207, 280 13, thus enabling the banks to loan to the people of our State $8, 168,077 42. Those were our banking facilities in 1862. In 1864, on the 1st day of June, we had 50 banks, with a capital of $4, 595, 500, a circulation of$4, 20 1, 787, and deposits to the amount of $1, 714,080 39, making an aggregate of $10, 604, 876 89, while the loans were $50, 271, 30154. Here the hammer fell.] he question was upon the amendment of Mr. STEVENS to the amendment of Mr. Horos KISS.
