After several weeks of labo rious investigation, the committee got through with their business, nd set about makm? out a renort.

Some dayt after tne reports were made, Mr". Potter bfougH in long biU, which he. proposed to substitute lor the ret lu'iort attached to tha reDort he had made. This bill, among other things,-proposed to confit cate all tha effects of h-b'tks, and out of them to create anew bank ; it proposed giving the commitsicners of confiscation power to imprison any person connected with the bank, who might refuse to suf render up any effect in their hinds ; and it mde no provision against the forfeiture of all debts to and from the banks on the ahrotrmion of ;t.e rhirtcr. it wes on thit bill that Mr. On'on made his two long speeches j as did several otheia, who tooke on thl side of the subject.

After consultation, the billj"" "a" u. which I request you to publish, was drawn, apd offered as a substitute for M r. Potter's. This fast was the bill which passed its se cond reading, but which on its third rea ding, was rejected by the casting vote of the apeaker. In looking at the provisions of this bill, it will be found very different from what many imagine. It expressly provides against the abrogation of the debts, either owing to or from the banks ; and vests all the effects of the banks, on the forfeiture of charter, in the state, to be disposed of for the benefit of those concerned. J he bla provide Bank, that its copcejrns should le wound up slowly, having due regard to the rights of the stockholders and creditors, and the safety of the debtors. But the bill will speak for itsell ; and I would respertfalry call the attention of the public to it, in order that they may have a eorreet View of the; subject. justice. lCJThe following is a copy of the bill which Justice", requests us to publish t A BILL'-direetlttg-a prosecution- -.gainst'- the State Dank, and regulating the proceedings t6M)anpnwrye;; the ckur.. ,ietjejf.JEN Wherea. it appears to the Legisla ture that the several Banks of this State have violated their charters, and that the State Bank has been guilty of frequent and manifest sibusc. of the fundamental articles of its charter, in somuch that it is deemed the imper ious dutyoTtliirEeg judicial investigation to be commenced 8gainit: Therefore, i Be it resolved by the General As scmbhj of the State of NorlhCaro- Una, That the Attorney General be, and he if hereby directed forthwith -to, institute a udiqTal enquiry irto ttf copdact of tie Kfott'Cant'i and that he prosecute . jch enrjuiry by 'm hrmation in the nature of a writ of fjuo warranto or other legal process and to prevent unnecessary delay or obstruction to such investigation, Be it enacted by the General Jlstcm bly of the State of North-Cirolina, ani it is hereby enacted by the au thority of the same.
