Will you permit me- through the columns ol
your valuable paper, to talk lutte of what may
he termed pleasant or unpleasant to Dealers
with Banks Itis very pleasant TO them un-
doubtedlv 10 have money in these Institutions
when they rely on their soundncss. 1t IS
also pleasant to have their check honored readily
and III a courteous manner, accommodating them
with such denominations of money as their ne
cessties may require; all this undoubtedly is very
pleasant and one would suppose that when the
dealer had accomplished the most difficult part of
the Job (deposiling the money the other would
follow as Il matter of course, but which | am
sorry to say IS not the fact, which you will read
iy perceive by slancing at the unpleasant side
of the picture, do thus-(and here permit me t"
offer YOU the daily conduct Of Il Bank in Wall.
street as an examplc) Entering the Bank, you
look around with II view ascertain who will
accommodate you by paying the money for the
check. You observe some half dozen or dozen
persons standing at a counter with checks IN
hand, and you naturally conclude that this must
be the place, and take your stand accordingly.
Scanning the countcnancCs of your companions,
YOU observe that their gaze is fixed upon gentle



arm chair, (Which for greater convenience or COM
fort is set on castors reading the morning paper or
perchance sornc OF the light literature OF the day,
which gentleman is denominatcd Teller Hav-
ing kept these persons standing sufficiently long
ia impress upon their minds the greatness OF his
Tellershp he proceeds to paring said checks by
scrawling his naae upon them which he terms
certifying them 10 be good; but some one Of
these daaierS wishes the money instead of his ccr-
tificate, and timidly int!mates much, for which
this great man gives him a look meant to imply
that he ithe DEALER has been guilty of some rare
piece Of impertinencc, and actually throws the
proceeds of his check at him in the largest de-
nomination of Bank Notes the check will admit,
but the dealer wishing change politely requests
| that he may be accommodated with smaller
notes. when he is grufily told that he cannot give
them TO hin. lie can get them at one OF the
Banks above or below, and if that does not suit
him, he mus; wait until the porter comes in, and
he will pay him the sIlver;" wherenpcn he, the
Teller betakes himself to his easy chair, expa-
tiatng upon his inlscries from waiting upon
set of asses, as he terms them. But 1t is unfair,
Nr. Editor, To make these Tellers solely rcspon-
sible for the unpleasant part of Banking. They
do but ape The petty tyranny Of Cashiers in then
chairs, and am satisfied that nothing has done
30 much 10 bring Banns into Gisrcputc with the
public as the impertinent contuc, OF their petty
officers, and if Bank owners wish these instllu-
tons to be favored by the people, they must see
that they arc conducted in such manner as not
continually TO offend them. A. u. ID.
