RUN ON THE FREEDMEN'S BANK
| The reports of the controller of the cur.
rency and the national bank examiner upor
the condition OF the FreedInen's saving and
trust company of Washington city, was in
tended to furnish Congress information
with reference to technical violations of the
law under which the institution was or.
ganizrd. The panic which caused run
upon the Washington savings bank seems
to have reached this city. and some eager
ness has been manifested to-day on the
part of depoSitors in the Freedrnen's saw.
ings bank to withdraw their funds from
that institution. About 81 900 have been
drawn out.
On the first of March the deposits
amounted in the aggregate to $4,000. As
soon as a disposition to withdraw was man
ifested. the officers of the bank teleg' aphed
to Washington, and funds to meet all
demands were placed to the order of the
bank.
We clip the following from the Washing
ton Star Of yesterday evening. Its perusal
will probably tend to allay the excite.
ment which Misrepresentation has occa-
stoned:
ION entering the Freedmen's savings
bank this morning our reporter found
about dozen persons at the counter, some
depo>iting money, and lew presenting
checks for payment. Six or eight colored
men were leaving, and one having Just had
an interview with Mr.. Alvord seemed well
satisfied, saying: Its all right, my
hard earned money is safer here than
in my pockets" His companions seemed
satisfied too, and they lett with light heart.
In the back office were Mr.. Stcknev, Mr..
Alvord, and others, and the latter having
had an interview with the controller of the
currency in the early part of the morning
was husily engaged in sign ne and prepar-
my for mailing the following cucllar:
&C. The security upon which the loans
were made is considered by the control.
lei and the examiner, with few exceptions,
as good for the amount loaned. There is
nothing in the reports which convey the
impression that the bank cannot respond
to the demands of the deposit 'rS.
49, The examiner states that the execu-
tive officers are. in his opinion, men of the
most undpubted integrity of character, de-
voted to the best interests OF the institu-
ton, who have educated themselves to a
practical knowledge of the business of the
institution, which promises a prosperous
future for it.
80 The controller Of the currency states
that the bank will be able to correct the
mistakes already made, and Continue a
business Of great usefulness to the class OF
depositorS for whose benefit the institution
was organized"

TEMPERANCE LIBRARY.-The efforts
of the temperance men of the city to es-
tablish free library should be promptly
and generously seconded by our citizens.
Books, magazines, &C., are much needed, As
well as cash donations. The collection al.
ready made, though small, nevertheless
forms creditable beginning. ESPECIALLY when
we consider that it is due to the liberality
of only few persons. We beg those who
are able to give the library material aid,
and thus supply the means for intellectual
eni ,ytnent and improvement.

SOUS:
LIST. Because thiee-fourths of the jury

fur his immediate pardon, state that 'whle
liz offence came within the letter of the
av, yet the circumstances justified the
lnliIction of the m,ldest penalty onl, )" aud
"wlth that view we fixed the term Of i'm
prisonment at the shortest me allowed"
and that "had the law fixed the maximum
term for the offence ut less numb r of
years, we should still have brought o, r
verdict down to that term, giving the SAID
Thomas R. Bird the benefit of the shortest
term.o
2. Because of the many extenuating cir
cumStances in behalf of the petitioner, and
the fact that he has already been imprson.

a switch near the head of Browns Wharf, so
as to connect another set OF rails leading d
lectly from their Maple street depot to the Com
mercial street tracks
In the early evening of yesterday rumors of
various descriptions were ahOat concerning
what the Eastern Road would d. or what the
Boston and Maine would do. but after all very
few people were aware of what really had been
done. 1t seems that the Boston and Maine
officials sweE the city during the afternoon
and engaged abont one hundred of the toughest
characters to be found, men who were note for
their fighting pr pensites. Arrangements
were made to feed these men at the Walker
House depot and some of the upper rooms of
the building at the head of Smiths Wharf
were thrown open and occupied by these men.
An engine with platform car in front of it
stood on thu Boston and Maine track, near
Commercial street, headed towards the frog.
A large number of citizens were present on the
street, noting all the signs of warfare, and
eagerly listening to what every man had to say
But all their waiting was in vain. The East
ern officials decided yesterday afternoon, that,
considering all the circumstances of the case,
their wisest course for the future would be to
let the frog remain where it was and turn their
attention to the courts. The police force on
that beat was largely increased, the Marshal
himself experimenting their movements.
1t was reported at midnight, on good author
ity, that the Portland Saco and Portsmouth
