FREEDMEN's SAVINGS BAaK-iNcREAsED
PATRoEAGE.-A few days since William !.
Wilson (coloredl, the cashier of the Freed
mems Savings Bank ut Washington, visited
this city to endeavor to increase the in
terest Of that class of our population in
the institution with which he is connected.
He and others have made speeches at seve-
raj points in the city. As one of the re-
suits already perceptible, on Thursday
twenty-five new depositors put into the
bank over 81 900, and on yesterday twen-
ty-six new depositors put in $1,000. Last
night he and others held meeting ut
Chimborazo, and will hold another in Man
chester on Monday night, and no doubt
like results win follow.
Much of the money which has thus been
brought to light is gold and silver, which
has an old and musty smell about it, as if
many years had passed since it had ceased
to be, o circulating medium. The bank takes
this money at current value, giving the de-
positors certificates at currency valuation
Last month they received on deposit about
5000. This amount has already been ex-
ceeded this month, and will be largely in
creased before its close. The amount on
deposit here is about $50, 1000, on which an
interest of five per cent. per annum, COM
pounded three times during the year, il
paid. At the end Of every fourth month
the interest is computed and added to the
original sum. Such evidences of thrift
among the colored people are pleasing.

that you win talk like 6 man Of this world,

prose, a particular account of the very i'm
portant transactions to which you refer, to-
gether with the attendant circumstances.
suppose you have no thought of being taken
literally your description of Mr.. Stanton
conjuring demons is only o metaphorical
way you have Of saying that he frightened
certain bad men. I beg you to tell me who
they were, and how he scared them.
repeat that you are not charged, and, in
my opinion, could not be Justly charged,
with the great sin of fabricating statements
like these. You have, no doubt, seen or
heard what you regard as sufficient proof of
them. What fear is that you have been
nisled by the false accounts which partisan n
writers have invented, not to honor Mr..
Stanton, but to slander others. = 2.|
1t you had known the truth CONCERNING
his Conduct while he was Attorney-G General.
and told it simply, you might have done
great honor to his memory. He was at that
time regular-built, old-fashioned Demo-
cratic Union-saver. He believed in the
Constitution as the fundamental law of the
land, as the bulwark of the public liberty,
and as the only bond by which the States
could be rightfully held together. He re-
garded his official oath as solemn cove
nant with God and his country, never
to be violated under any circumstances
and he had right wholesome contempt
for that corrupt code of morality which
teaches that oaths are not binding upon the
rulers of free country when they find il
inconsistent with their interest to keep
them. He uniformly behaved with "modest
stiffness and humility" except when his
opinion was asked, and then he spoke with
becoming Difference to others. From that
part of his life at least you might, by tell.
ing it truly, have derived a "lofty lesson D
indeed. But this quiet, unpretending, high
principled, democratic gentleman is con-
verted by your maladroit oratory into o
hectoring bully of the abolition school
rampaging through the White House and
around the department, trying to frighter
people with big looks. -.
beseech you to resxamine your authorl
ties. If you still think them sufficient t
sustain you, l cannot doubt your willing
ness to communicate them for the scrutiny
of others who ore interested. If, on th'
contrary, you shall be satisfied that yo1
have made great mistake, then justice t.
oil parties, and especially to the subject O.
your well-meant but unfortunate eulogy
requires some amends to be made. 1t vii
be for you to say whether you will or vii
not ask the court for leave to withdraw tina
part of your speech from the record.

garded as public calamity, as it was one
Of the most fourishing institutions of the

and enterprise Of the proprietors IN so soon

a mass Of ruins arc worthy OF all praise,
and we trust they will receive from an ap-
preciative public the encouragement that
such energy and perseverance deserve. 1t
lis q fact well known that previous to the
,war the machinery of Talbot Brothers 8
make commanded premium In the south

SOMETHING VALUABLE TO THE LADlEs.-We

their attention to the Improved Common Sense
Family Sewing Machine, recently introduced
here. It has the very important advantages of
being light easily worked durable, and is sold at
about one fourth the cost Of the clumsy machines
now in use. In addition, the oldpedal attachment
is superseded by crank turned by hand, which
ta ladies who are in delicate health, or who from
other causes cannot use their feet in such work.

BOLD RoaUEs.-They have bold rogues
on Church Hill. On. Thursday lady living
on Grace street near Twenty-third, going
into her parlor, found two white men there.
They very politely explained the matter by
Saying that they had entered the wrong
house: The lady remarked that they
were late finding it out; whereupon they
left, making many apologies. When they
were gone it was discovered that several
valuable books were missing from the parlor
tables.
On the same day negro was twice de-
tected in attempting to enter the house Of a
wel-known physician residing on Broad
street. He boldly rang the door-bell, and
insisted that the door should be left open
while the lady of the house went up stairs
after the doctor.

CALL OF A PAsToR.-Rev. William A.

"The facts are simply these: A lady

was Mrs. Davis, opened conversation

her some manuscripts. In lieu of the light,
however, which they might afford, she pro-
