The Banking law Ajsendinsats.
The Senate, this forenoon, refised to
adopt two of the most important amend
ments to the banking law—the one cut
ting oft’small notes and Uie one placing a
restriction on currency which bankers .-hall
pay out. As tiie amendments stand a!
pi er,ent, and as they will probably pars,
they are principally as follows:
The bond of the Bank Comptroller is
(increased Irom §50,000 to §IOO,OOO.
The provisions admin ing railroad bonds
pis surities are striken out— merely as iucor
iporntive and cumbrous, and of no sei vice
ltd railroads.
As a remedy for institutions of uncer
tain or obscure location called "wild cats,"
|it provides that no bank ’hall be located
iin a town which according to the last.;
[election returns has a population of less
I than 200 voters; and where banks are al
ready located in places of a less population,
i they are required to provide a place of
iredemption in some place of a population
i equal to 200 voters.
