Km Wind to the fire, if you suppress the existence of the fire, and picture the uiau fyuitically liurling buckets of water to all sides of the Ijcuso amidst tbe tears of his wife andtbehowl- iug of his children, you make just such a picture of absurdity as Sir William Harcourt loves to just tbe same amount of truth iu its Within an hour after the jniblication of this remarkable illustration, Sir narcoin t's house in Grafton street was flic. Tiie roof was burned off, and the lower iloors were deluged with water; the water, as so often happens, doing more damage than the Carnes. If Sir not to be observed carrying buckets of water back and forth, it is because he was on his way home from Birmingham.

IG. Tlio promoters of the various inter-oceanic canal projects, including Capt, railroad scheme, are busy charging Secretary Evarts with obstruetiug all eflorts to secure a protectorate of the work to this Government, and are alleging that there is a serious ilifference lielweeu the rresidout and tbe Secretary coii- ceruing the promulgation of the Monroe doctrine. What diflerencc there is, and it is very immaterial, has been fully explsiined in these To-day the New York World charged that Mr. Evarts is acting against all the canal projects because he is the attorney of bolh the I'acific and Panama Railroad.s. In the first place Mr.

Evarts is not the counsel of eitliir road, and has never been. In tbe secotnd place, the Pacific roads are not hostile to some canal and the Panama road is undoubtedly favorable lo the Do Lesseps projotjt, the pur- cliic of the rosd being a part of that scliemc. It is understood iicre that a bargain has already been niHfle for that purpose. Tbe friends of all the canal and railroad projects seem bent on having the Government issue some proniincia- mento or other atxiut the Monroe doctrine, and it is feared that they have won over the President to their way of thinking. In the meantime Mr.

Evarts refuses to advi-e that any such proclamation be Issued, believing that the time is not yet come and that there has yet been nothing done in violation of the Moaroe doctrine. This has brought down the present outcry upon him, in which charges are made that are untrue and wliicli do gross inius- ticc. The Wuslibiiru-Ruuuellr Case. There i.s a good deal of foolish talk in tite press about the dectsion.of the suh- committee on the Washburn-Donnelly contest. It has been generally charged that the decision unfavorable to Washburn is grossly partisan and unfair, although those who luive made the charge have not seen any of the evidence on which the decision is based.

The Democratic members nf the sub-committce refuse to talk about the matter while it is sub judicc, but it ifs that they feel sure of being able to cos- vincc fair-minded people of the inju-ticc of claim, as well as of the criticisms that have been upon them. The record they say contains evidence of the grossest frauds perjietrated in inteiTst. An example of the kind of testimony before the committee is this VYa.shburn came into Minneaiiolis from the country with a iiiiijority against him. He is confessedly unpopular in the city, and yet lie overcame this adverse majority, ran a majority for himself of 3,500 in seven precincts of a city where the regular Republican never exceeds 350, was done by resort lotbc statute that required each ballot a lid name on regi.stry should be numhcred so that it might be known how each man voted. This law bad been declared'unconstitutional by the courts and the judges of electiou had decided the evening before election day that they 'Aould abide by that decision.

Gov. VYash- bnrn, tbe brother, and the bookkeeper, Hull, are said to be convicted of bribery, and it will be held that W. D. Washburn mu.st have been privy to it. This the Democrats say is but one of a number of pieces of testimony on which they have based their finding.

On the whole, it looks as though it would be well not to make up a verdict until the testimony is made public. The Refunding Nchemes. The sub-coinmittoe of the Ways and Means Committee have prepared a funding ill, and it ill be discusseil to-morro-A' by the full committee. Besides providing for the issue of 3 1-2 per cent, bonds, redeemable at the option of the Gevernnient after twenty years, and absolutely jiayaWe after forty years, the bill will provide for of 4 per cent, certificates, redeemable in one, two, three, four and five a year. Secret-ary Sberman favors having the certificate payable two years, and absolutely payable iu ten years, Mr.

Frye has also come to this couclu- Mr. and Mr. Wood on the contrary think that 3 1-2 or even 3 jier cent, certificate, jiayable in one, two, three, four and five years might be sold, especially if the iiatioiial banks be authorized to keep them as a part of the reserve now required to be kept in greenbacks. A motion will be made to- moirow to substitute this for 4 per cont. certificates.

and it will be ou that that the discussion will take place. An Infamous Partisan Plot. A caucus of the Republicans of thellbusewas held to-day in the Ways and Me.ms Committee room, at which Garfield was the leader. It as decided to make a party issue of the Fitz John case, and to make the debate as partisan and sectional as possible. Everything is to be done to make it apjiear to the country that Gen.

Porter is to be vindicated because he was a sympathizer with ex-Confederate officers now in Congress. The merits of the case are to be ignored, and an appeal made to the passions of the North against the South. In all tills wickedness Gen. Garfield is to lead. The leaders among the Democrats in the ieuate advise that no reply he made to the political harangue, and that the debate on their side be coiHiuctcd on tbe issues in the Bad for Senator tnKaJls.

The Committee on and Elections have determined the Ingalls case, but they have also dcteriniiied to remain silent about, and to tell no one, w'hat Is the verdict until they tell the Senate. It is known, however, tliat there will be two reports, and that the nuyority report is not likely to be satisfactory to (ithor parly. The resolution will permit ingalLs to keep Ills seat, but the majority of the ccmmittce are reallv of the opinion that the election was seoiircd by bribery, although tbe evidence does not connect him personally with it. This will be siibstan- tiallv the report which will probably he made to-morrow. The Coutest Over the Rouse Rules.

Mr, Blackburn says that he thinks the discussion on the rules will be over by Thursday. He also thinks that when the report of the i ('ommittee of the Whole is made to the House the action of the committee in giving the Com- i mittces on Agriculture and Public Buildings conlrol over tbe appropriations for those purposes will be rescinded. He has a substitute for the twenty-first rule, which, he says, is satisfactory for all Democrats and will be presented to-morrow. It inodilles the present rule and still leaves to the House power lo tack some general legislation to appropriation bills, Cougressinan Folly. The sub-committee of the House Foreign Afiairs Committee on case have completed their report, which will be made to the 1V.11 committee to-morrow.

Its jurisdiction is simply to inquire into the truth the newspaper publications concerning Ackleii, and it will find that these are true. It has no power to report a resolution of censure. That must be left to the House. It is certain that Acklen will cither be expelled or censured at the bar of the House. Congress Asked to Eroteet Ike Claims of tke AmericaII, Atlantic and Pacific Canal Company.

WA.SHINGTON, Feb. Morris of New York appeared before the Select Committee of the House oil the intor-oceanlc ship canal, and urged the claims of tbe American, Atlantic and Pacific Canal Company to the exclusive right of constructing a slap canal by way of Lake Nicaragua. This right, originated in a contract made in 1849 between the Nicaraguan Governraent and this company, which was supplemented by an additional contract iu ISiYT. By tbe latter the obligation on the part of the company to construct a canal was dispeu.sed with, and a new method of effecting a transit by the then existing transit company was jirovlded. It is claimed on the part of the Atlantic and Pacific Canal Company, that this contract of 1857 did not abrogate the right of the company to conatnict a canal, but only dispensed with its obligation to tlo so, leaving tbo company still free to claim or forego its right.

view i.s sustained in a legal opinion given by John K. Porter of New York. Mr. Morris statsid that of the 192 parts into hich the corjiorMte rights of the Atlantic and Pacific Canal Company were niue- tv-four arc Ix ld by himself and hi.s associates, aiid tbo remainder by the Transit Company and others; none of them arc held abroad. The holders of those shares, he says, have been for throe years u-sing persistent to obtain recognition of tlmir rights to eonstruot a cau-al, and have had a resident agent in Nicaragua, prosecuting theii claims before the Executive of tliat country.

Blanchot, wliicl) has defeated in the national Legislature by only oue vote. He expressed his apprehension that, without aid from the American Government the'rights of the coiniiuiy would be violated and set at defiance. He desired such aid from the Government, hy (iiplomaev or as might be deemed ri qnisite to obtain from tbe Nicaraguan Govi rnment its rccogniticii of the rights conferred the Atlantic and Pacific Canal Company.

Senate Railroad Coroniittee gave a hearing, this morning, to Gen. Barnes and others of Texas, wno are asking for a subsidy of a mile on a railroad from San Antonio to the Texas border. Senator Coke aho made a speech in favor of the scheme. Tbe route of the proposed railroad runs through an unsettled country, useful only for stock raising, and there is no prospect ot the subsidy being guaranteed. The representatives of the Northern Pacific Railroad were present, and will soon have another hearing before this committee.

The Central Committee on Privilege -and Elections was to have taken final action to-day ujion the Ingalls case, but the committee adjourned without doing so. The majority seem to have some difficulty in determining just what Ingalls has been guilty of. That he promised offices to secure votes is not denied by anybody, but the trouble is that nearly all the other Senators have at one time or another done tbe same thing. The House siib-committee on the Aclricn case met to-day a very long statement of tbe facts to be submitted to-morrow to the full committee. The movement to expel Acklen is prompted principally by his colleague, King, of Louisiana.

He will perhaps be censured, but It is thought to-day that the offegse proved against him will be hardly gross enough to secure bis expulsion. Representatives Wood.

OUR OWN ashinoton Feb. 14. The investigation of the affairs of the Froed- Bank was begun last summer by Senator special committee, which was appointed ith a view of arriving at some conclusion as to what further ought to be done toward helping the poor depositors who were so shamefully swindled by the directors of that concern. Senator Bruce has made the Investigation his special work since the close of the extra session of Congress in the summer. A large amount of testimony has been taken, and it will not be long before a report will be As far as the testimooy has gone report will be substantially as follows, although some of the conclusions giyen below may not be stated, owing to the death or absence of witnesses relied upon to prove them: Orltfin ot This bank was the outgrowth of the military savings hanks for the colored by Gens.

Butler and Saxton at Beaufort. S. 0., ami Norfolk, Va. These were but temporary afiairs, hut deposits accumulated rapidly, and mu oh of the money received was never for. This latter fact operated largely in suggesting the idea of the Savings and Trust Company, although at the outset there were a number of undoubted philanthropists, who seized upon the iiiea with all the enthusiasm and a good deal of the lack of forethought peculiar to their kind.

Among these was Senator Sumner, who reported the bill ofganiziiig the batik B'ebruary 18, 1865. It passed the same day, passed tbe Hou.se ilarch 3, and was signed by 5ir. Lincoln the s.amc day. There was irregularity even in the passage of the act. As origiually drawu tbe act the trustees tlie right to e.stabllsh braneh banks in diflerent parte of the country.

This was ol)jeeted to. and the bill was amended, restricting tlie bank to the District of Columbia. In some way or other these words urcpiiedoiit betw'een the Senate and the House, l)iu the objection being made in the latter body, the City of Washington, District of Colun.bia.’’ was inserted, and the name of Salmon P. Chase added to the there being no oue iu the original act living in the city. Despite these amemiments the bill was never sent back to the Senate, but was signed and printed in the statute books, with the limitation as to the place of loealion and the name of Mr.

Chase omitted. The bill was never read in either House, aud every step of its progress was iM.arked by indicial of projective fraud. Among the trustees named in the act were some of the leading philanthropists of the country, such as Peter Cooper, Win. Cullen Bryant, A. A.

Low, Gerritt Smith, John Jay, Edward Atkinson aud M. Forbes. A provision of the act required that if a tiustec failed to attend the meetings of the board for six months, his place should be declared vacant, and the trustees could fill the vacancy, as most of the trustees lived at a distance. and looked upon tbe use of their names rs all they could afford to give to this they did not attend any of the meetings, and their places were soon supplied by the District ring. Another badge of fraud that I he act bore was that nine trustees constituted a quorum; aud another, that three of the executive committee con.stituted a quorum.

Further ou it will appear that Henry D. Cooke, W. S. Huntington and Lewis Clephane, members of the DLtrlct ring, were there and did most of the business of the bank. Oparatlons BeKan.

The company was organized May 16, 1865, and its chief office at New York, a branch office at Washington, aud other branch offices in thirty-two Southern cities. Deposits cams in quite rapidly, trustees of the bauk for custom very cautiously. A favorite means of securing deposits was to call the attention of the colored people by means of circulars to the fact that the b-tnk had had the couiitcuancc of Abrubnm Liucolu, and that the signing of the bill it was one of the last acts of his life. Not only did fraud the very birth of the bank, iu tbe passage of the act incorporating it, but the act itself was full of opportituities for fraud, which were freely improved. Among the first acis of the officers was the printing of a statement in the books that Government has made'this bank perfectly and the agents of Jhe bank assured the ignorant that tlio wpilld the depo-lts.

In this way did the officers of the bank secure the deposits of the savings of the lieeduien, who were led to believe that the institution was really a branch of the Treasury Departiuent. The tollowing table shows how succes.sful these were in seciiilug deposits, which ran up as For flrst ten months 305..167 00 For year endintr March 1,1867 1,624,8.5:5 :53 For year eiirtme March 1, 1868................. 3,.582.378 .36 I'or year 1, 1869 7,257,793 63 For year euding 1,1870................... 12,605,781 95 For yearendiiig March 1.1871................... 19,952,647 36 When the bank wa.s forced into liquidation in 1874, the total deposits had reached the amount paid out leaving a halaiice due depositors of and of this 55 was due colored persons.

An Appenrtase to tke Diatrlct The bank became a sort of appendage to the District ring iu 1867, when the principal office was removed from Washington. In March, 1868, J. W. Alvord became president of tbe bank, and It was during his administration tliat the frauds were perpetrated, the men who did the business of the institution, under what appears to have been an illegal rule of tbe trustees, being Henry D. Croke, Governor of tlie District, William S.

Huntington and Lewis Clephane, all of whom were notoriously connected with tbe District ring and the notorious Metropolitan Pavement Company. The other tw members of the Executive Committee were J. M. Brodhead and Le Roy Tuttle, both of whom were connected with the Treasury Department, the one as Second Comptroller aud the other as Assistant Treasurer. They were merely figure heads.

The connection of these men with the Institution was like the connection of the Government generally with the bank. Congress was wickedly careless in not examining into its affairs, and these Treasury officials were crimitially neglitrent in permitting their three associates to do as they would with the resources of the in- stitulion. Peculiar TransRCtions. Tlie bank being in the hands of a set of men ho were bent on using the money of the freed- nien for their own pecuniary gain, a few examples of their peculiar transaction will suffice to tbe character of this great swiudle. The deposits of the bank were at flrst made with the First National Bank, of which Henry D.

Cooke was president, and William S. Hunt- cashier. As officers of the Bauk, these men contracted with as officers of the First National, to purchase securities, the latter bank getting the commission. Ill spite of the law, Cooke and his associates invested in the Government bonds issued to the Pacific Railroads, buying of the firm of Jay Cooke of which Heiirv D. Cooke was a member, worth of Union Pacific and Central Pacific bonds.

This investment was ciearly in violation of the law. The money to make this purchase was obtained by Ihe sale of United States bonds, which was also made through Jay Cooke that firm thus getting two commhssions. The statute provided that the investments should be in the lionds. Treasury notes, or other securities of the I'uited The charter also required the trustees to keep in hand a sum not exceeding one-thtrd of the total amount of deposits as an In 1868, five years before the charter was amended so as to permit such loans, an application wae made for a loan on real estate, and the suggestion of some of the officers of the bank was to use the in this way, but Cooke gave a written opinion to tbe eflcct that the mast always be subject to check at sight. Subse- quenliy, at a meeting at his banking house, his scruples yvere overcome, and, despite his opinion, it was decided to loan these In the following three weeks 43 were loaned to all sorts of persons ou all sorts of securities.

Afterward, of the was invested in Northern Pacific bonds. Other large amounts were deposited in the First National and used for banking purposes. The heneca hand Stone In 1870 Cojigress authorized the trustees to loan on mortgage to the extent of one-half the amount of deposits, the value of the property to he double the amount of the loan. The first made of this power as to a loan on second mortgage bonds to the Maryland Mining and Manufacturing Company, better known as the Seneca Sand Stone Company. Cooke a large stockholder In the concern, and in coa- to the loan, violated the twelfth section of the bank charter, which forbade any officer or servant of the company directly or Indirectly, the funds of the corporation or its deposits, or in any manner using the same or any part thereof, except to pay necessary expenses under the direction of tbe board of July 25, 1870, tbe bank bought of the sandstone company of their first mortgage bonds at 90 cents.

At that time these bonds could not be sold on the street at 50 cents. Subsequently the finance committee substituted second mortgage bonds for these first mortgage bonds, Cooke, Clephane. Huntington ami Eaton, the actuary, being pitvy to the transaction. The bank, by a number of transactions, became possessed of of second mortgage bonds to secure a debt of 73, which, with interest, now amounts to about These second mortgage bonds are supposed to be worthless. Sand Stone Uomiianv, It will be re mtmbercd, eniliraced Gen.

Grant its stockholders, allliooata the had never invested a cent, Cooke carrying the stock for him, and publishing to the world that the President of the United States had confidence eno.ugh in the company, to invest $82,000 in its ob OtAer Worthless Between the time of the passage of the act incorporating tbe bank and its winding up, 1874, the iYashington office had made 570 real estate loans, aggregating of this amount, was outstanding when the bank closed. Tbe loans 284, and aggregated $438,537. Yfhen the bank closed, of this remained unpaid. All these loans were unwarranted by the charter, and much of the, security on, which they were based was utterly worthless. A long list appears with the evidence, and much of it is of such wild cat character, as Metropolitan Pavement stock, Christian Association stock, chattel mortgage on furniture In hotels, etc.

There are a lot of certificates of the Board of Public Works, some of them given in anticipation of not yet wade by Congress. The money, in fact, was advanced to help the board and its manager, Alexander K. Shepherd, out offinauclal difficulties. In effect tbe bank became a partner in tbe frauds that ran riot in Washington in tbe days of the old District Government. In this way the bank became loaded with all manner of bogus securities, such as deeds of trust on property with defective or spunous titles, overvaluations, real estate notes and second mortgage bonds.

In short, the history of the bank during these days of speculation is unparalleled in the history of The members of the ring having control of the institution did as they wished with the money of the colored people, who thought they had really trusted it to the care of the Government. Tlie Wbole Coneerm Corrupt. The corruption was not confined to the principal office at Washington. It extended to all tbe branch offices. The chances are that of the loaned at Jacksonville, will be lost, and that a similar fate will meet of the loaned at Beaufort.

It is the same story tliere as with the parent bank at asbington. Tbe employes were dishonest AH the trustees. At Washington T. S. Boston, the teller, forged to the amount and there is a discrepancy of between the ledgers and tbe At Atlanta, P.

Tbe Dowiifnll aud Exposure. The panic ot 1873 caiue and found the bank in this condition. It weathered the storm throughthewinter.bat in the spring of 1374 Congress took the m.magemcot of its affairs into its own hands, and June 20, 1374. appointed ex-Poblmastcr General A. J.

Creswell, Robert Purvis and R. H. T. Loipold coniiLissiouhrs to wind up the busines.s. The commissioners went to work and found facts, part of which haye been narrated above.

They found, also, that every had been made by the retiring officers ana tru-stees to conceal their wrong doing. Tliey found the of the mutilated, some leaves being cut out and others pasted together; and tliey found that the accounts had been purposely kept in order that tbe frauds that had been peryietrated might never come to light. The liabilities of the bank at the time of the failure amounted to 82, and the nominally, to $2,693,095 20. Novetnlier 1. 1875, a dividend of 20 per cent, was declared.

Of this there had been paid to tbe 31st of mouth, 39, leaving 91 stilt Ou March 1878, a.s second dividend, this time of 10 per was declared. Of this there had been paid to the 31-t of last month, 14, leaving 51 unpaid. The available cash in hand at present for another dividend is 56; about half enough for a dividend of 10 per cent. The commissioners think a total dividend of 50 per cent, may be finally paid, but not without a sale of tbe building and real estate. This cost and the building is now rented to the Government for the use of the Department of and Court of Claims for about $20,000 a year.

Of late the expeuses have about eaten up the Ibc ('riminals Will Fnoislimcut. The committee will probably recommend that the real estate be sold, and the proceeds applied to the payment of the creditors; and that the commissioners be discharged and the bill already introduced turning the business over to the Comptroller of the Currency be passed. Nocrirainal proceediugs can now be begun against the men who robbed the hank, for they are bound by the statute of limitations. This is the history of the greatest scheme ever devised by tbe Republican party for the care of tbo negroes. All those who ever engaged in these scandalous crimes were eminent in the Republican church, and, time and time again, such prominent members of their party as Senator 3Iorrill of Vermont, have declared them deserving of the penitentiary.

They will fiiialiy escape through a technicality of the law. but the party which connived at their wickedness ought certainly not escape at tbe hands of the people. H. L. N.

Cotton was the chief product of the Confederate States, aud the statute of 1864, which had beeu held coustitutional under a war substance, a bonus of 25 percent, for the privilege of puttiug i- u)'ou the market. Capt. Cutler was purchasing agent at New Orleans, oue of the ted places of purchase.

They that the proclamation of June 13, which removes all restrictions on trade and commercial intercourse ill the territory theretofore declared in insurrection West of the Mississippi River, in-ade the exaction of a bonus illegal. The answer to the claim, is that the restrictions outside, in the territory of the Mississippi whence tbe cotton came, were not removed until 24, when the President made another proclamalioii removing them; that the proclamation of June 13, does uot apply to that, no matter construction is put upon that proclamation.

The money was paid lit the regular course of busiuess witbout objectiou and without knowledge of the proclamation, at.d was therefore in law paid voluntarily, so it cannot be recovered. Capt.
