Without except tion I believe, all bills to wfsblish loea banks, referred to thar committee, hve,like the tracks to the lion's cave pointed in ne airniflcant direction This is te caxe for reaaoue no doubt Mtisfactory to the commit tee.

' I regretted at the time the chairman of tha eommittce ' made hia report arainrt the bill that be did not sure hia reaaona foe so doi nr. I hare beard bis reasons te-day, but still I feel justified in inferring one of three thinee. Tit : that the ' eosbnuttee was not aware he reces itics or the people in and aronod Salisbury in regard to bank that there were object ioea Lie de tails in the bill under eonsidvraion, or that the committee waa oppoeed to the policy of establishing looal banks. .

Suffice it to say that ibe bill is limited, fortified rnd protected with eTery guarantee and security neceeary ad uaoal m such caaee, and I apprehend that the com mittee did not object to the detail of the bill for they are nearly xtrbilintt Idrvtin ' the SAise aa those of other bak charters pq der which banks are now ia successful ope ration.

Having as 1 believe satistactoniy dviuonatnt'ed the former proposition, I will proceed to the utter.. : . ' ' The tax on uierchantV capital: for the year ending Oct. Slat, 1856, as shown by the C.u pt roller's report, is aa follows, in the counties named. ; I 'will add the number 01 bunks in the same counties so far as I have bee a able, to ascertain. As I am now speak ing for a particular locality I will instance the statistics in that section of the State, Vis : C irnU. . Merchnnti Vix. ", Kolof ffefti. Mecklenburg, ' :I881 88 : V. S " Uowan, ' 805 69 , ; 1 : Guilford, - " J 514 55 3 Foreythe, : v 402 05 ' 2 -Now, sir, if tbo tax on capital invested in tuervband'me is any evidence of the wealth of a county in which it is collected, and if the backing capital should bear any just or uni form propo. tion to that tax, it will appear at oice that Slibury needs -not simply one more bank, as asked for in this bill, but two more banks. For you discover that notwith standing thj merchants' tax is aVrat the same in llowan and Mecklenburg, yet Charlotte h4 tlree batiks, and Salisbury only one, and that one only a branch. . Rowaa pays more than otu third more merchants' tix than Ouil furd and vet Greensboro has t too thirds more banks than Salisbury- Rowan pays tvrict the tax on merchandise that Forsytbe does, jet S-ltm has twice as many banks as Salisbury- ; ;; .' . . .. ; ;. . 1 be above statistics speak loud enough in behalf of Salisbury to convince Senators of the necessity of giving our people more bank ing privileges. But thisis not All.- Salis bury is the commercial entrepot of nearly the whole of 1 be no-thweetern part of the State. And if I would add' to the above the statis tics of all ' the counties, commercially con nected a iih Salisbury, and dependent on that town for banking facilities, I could show, be yoad qoes'iun, that that town ahonld have as much banking capital aa any town in the State, not even excepting WUruington,which hs four times aa many banks ss Salisbury. From thee 'statements it is cast to see ht our merchants and business men are not ( treated with tbe same consideration in Sal is- j iL.i L - f i psna a J 'w'.se places that need banks less than t8jIIsbury should have ators Should the greater go u the los or rice tera t ' 1 use 'these arguments in no offensive sense towards id i surrouniBg Salisbury.

But, Jr. Speaker, merchants are only one e.as of the people. The sgrioultural, me- euanical bo luiueral interests of a eommuni t. need exchange facilities more perhaps than toe uierenantiie. . Money u the - otire power or ciuiuerce. It opens out our rivers, builds the da ins,' constructs the locks and prepares the way for the vessel."

There is only one branch of the bank of Cape Fear at Salisbury, ; with a capital stock or only abontt 3175,000. 'Why, Mr, Speaker. hat is scarcely enough to supply pur dealers in produce with; exchange for one month. In the month of August last year $isu,wu worth of wheat alone was sold in Salisbury, and 800,000 bushels of wheat would be sold at that place from the county of Rowan if it could be bought by the Salisbury merchants. All this (and remember it is only one item or produce selected, for illustration,) would be transported upon tne Uemtral road, as was an the flour sent from Salisbury last summer. From the seventh annual report of the Pi. C R, B. Company, we learn the tact that Salisbury is the most important station on the North Carolina road.

Give our people more exchange facilities and they will raisej buy and sell more produce and send it to market upon the central , road ; but send them to Charlotte for exchange and eur pro duce will go to Charlo te, and thence to. Charleston, and our own State will lose, the profits of its transportation " and our eastern towns the privilege of buying it. -' ; v " ,' Mr. Speaker, I will not detain the Senate much longer. I must .say, however, that if there is my one thing more than Another that I desire, at the' hands of this Legislature, it is the passage of this bill. ' Ton must do something for our people, or business and enterprise will be crippled among them. But, all the faets I have stated may be admitted, and I may be met with the objec tion that it ia not the policy of this Legisla ture to establish local banks. Permit to say that I am no financier that I know but lit tle about banking that i am not particular ly partial to any bankinr system whether lo cal or general, but I cannot see why a local bank may not be made as safe and efficient as a general or State bank. I believe the peo ple I represent prefer that this bill should pass. . Ton can pass this bill, snd ' also one for a general bank the Metropolitan bank if yon please, lc may give a branch to Salis bury if you will. , It cannot do harm to give us the chance of both. Give us an election, if yon chocse, in this matter, and at all events give my people the privilege of investing their money under this charter and I feel con fident that tbe State or Worth Carolina will have no reason to complain. : REMARKS OF MR. MANN, or Pasquotank, ; On the Mechanics Levi Law Bill. Mr. Spxakcr : It is with pleasure that I endorse the bill and the remarks made upon the same by the gentleman from Wake, (Mr. Lewis.) It was my intention, sir, at the re quest of a great many of the uichani 's of my county, to have introduced a similar bill. But, upon consultation with the gentloman from Wake, I found out that his bill, though more in detail than the one I had in view, would answer the purposes of my constitu ents, and I agreed with h'm to add my feeble Toice in trying to get it through. W hat does this bill propose to dot- Does it open tbe way to those who hare plenty to have more Is it for tbe capitalist to invest his surplus funds to. better advantage than heretofore t No, air, it is not intended for am such pur poses. cut it is intended for the bard-working and laboring men of our State, and, Bir, I take the Toad ground and declare that no honest man that wants a - mechanio to work for him, can have any objection : to the pro visions of this bill, and 1 am utterly aston ished and surprised to find such opposition to the bill. What aro its provisions ? Have gentlemen read the bill? I fear not many, or else I would not bear such oppostfon to it. Ur, is it that tbe fault lies at my own door and not at theirs ; that I do not under stand it, and that they are right and that I aSnTSS Law-wf ft.CT7i I gmngjny understanding, of the bill, allow iuo u aisw tua my vcrsiuu oi II la inu : anai wnenever a mecnanio o- laoorer does a job of work, whereby real estate is increased in value, , that such . mechanio- and laborer shall have a lien upon all such real estate to the amount of his labor, and no more; That if a carpenter contracts fr building a house, FT I . 1 t . it . w.v a ui aai &j total use lus) ici Mis aUI IUO HamH I thAt be shall have lien npon that house and ' lot. nntil th amnnnk rnnfrt.A r i paid.

Then, that objection fAlls to the ground, Y" . But, sir, there is one class of persons that this bill, U pesaeeV (and. I hope ii will) 'will &:M affect, and all such will object to its features.

These are the kind of men that will grumble at thapassage of this law, and not the honest men of, our State;- ',-'-?'u";V v One gentleman on my left, wishes the pro visions of . this bill to apply to-incorporated towns, and no- to have anything to do with the farming interest. Well, I do not know how it is wUh tfe at gentleman's constituents, but I think I know. when.,I . speak of, mine, and I am sure, representing as I do, the fan ner county of the State, in an agricultural point f view, that I would be the last perwnJ the agricultural-portion of my constituents would be opposed to. No, sir, in advocating this bill,' I am carrying out the wishes of my constituents, or, at least, the greater portion of them, both of town And country. Sir, let me cite a case, and it is by no means unfrequent. A person wishes a house built ; he goes f'a carr enter, he makes a bargain oemg confiaerea oy me carpenter as penecii ly solvent, ho (the carpenter) takes no bond from him, but goes to work ; hires hia hands ; gets his friends to sign with him to purchase, perhaps, the materials wherewith to build the house, and before the job is completed, or befort he is paid for his work and materials, the man heretofore thought solvent, fails, and the house and lot is sold. - Is it sold to pay the carpenter that built it No, sir, it is sold for other debts, and the carpenter that has erected a building - worth several thousand dollars, perhaps,, is out out com pletely, and he and his friends have to come forward and pay the timber-seller and others, for materials that have been taken to payj the debts of the person that employed the car penter Is thia fair ? Is it just and equitable 1 It is not, and remedy should be provided. If I employ a carpenter to repair my dwell ing, and he puts five hundred dollars worth of repairs upon it, and thereby enhances its value to that amount, I think it no more than an act of justice, that he should be paid,' and to secure that payment, he should be allowed to have a lien upon my property to the amount of his bill. I have given this subject much consideration, and hope tht House will pass the bill, thereby giving to a large and re spectable portion of our citizens, the benefit of a just, equitable and good law. MOIRE ANTIQUE. In an ordinary woven goods the threads cross each other at right angles; the; long threads forming tbe warp, and the short threads the weft. According as the fabric is of high quality, so do these threads inter sect in a regular and equable quality t but be it as good as it may, there are always some irregularities ; they may escape the eyt, but they become apparent in a singular way. - it good silk bo wrapt tigntly and careleBly round a roller, it may become moire much against the inclination of the possessor ; it will have acquired an irregular kiud of glossing in seme parts rather than in others, and this irregular glossing, when viewed from a little distance, presents some what of the appearance of moire, or watering who know ? .Perhaps an accident to piece of rolled silk suggested the first idea of watering as a distinct mode of adornment to silken goods? Such aecidents have very frequently occurred in the history of manu factures: However, accident or no acoident, watered silks nave long been in use, potn in this country and in France. - If a pattern be engraved upon one cylinder in relief,! and a similar pattern on another sylinder, in sunken devices, and if one of these be heated from within, and if a piece of silk or velvet be drawn between the cylinder then will the silk or velvet acquire an embossed pattern, because soe parts of the surface are more pressed, and are consequently more i glossy than the rest. Numerous varieties of this process are employed in the preparation of fancy goods. But this is not exac ly watering. , For this process two layers of suk are laid faoe to d " P"ssed tightly between rollers, Wha't folloW8 f , Howev6er close the threads way be, there are 'still interstices between them ; they follow tach other in ridge and hollow fashion throughout .the. length and breadth of the piece. Now, if tie slightest irregularity exists in the pressure,, some of the threads become presed in particular parts- more than others ; and the over pressed por M 1 ' ' T FT ? tTV FK T"" of reflecung light, than the rest.
