Summary: 

The money Byron fled with is replaced, apparently by De Spain but probably by Flem Snopes - because afterwards Flem is made the bank's new vice president. (The act that created the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, which Charles' narrative seems to refer to when he says that since the Sartoris bank was "a national bank," its deposits were "guaranteed [126]," wasn't passed until 1933.)
