The report of the Commissioners who are
winding up the affairs Of the Freedmen's Bank
was accompanied by statement of its transac-
tons and assets, showing the reckless manner
in which the concern was managed. The Bal
timore American says: Thousands upon
thousands Of dollars were loaned to the District
Ring upon almost worthless securities; COM
paratively small portion of the loans has ever
been repaid, the collaterals will not realize any
where near their real value, and the men who
have got the money will never return it unless
compelled BY suits in Court or some other pro-
cess of compulsion.

the Civil Rights bill under confederation yester-
day, together with amendments reported by
subcommittee, which recommended the strlk-

that the penalty with regard to schools shall
not be enforced where an equal grade OF schools
are provided for both races. A proposition

WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER l6.

The Joint special Committee on Constitution
al Amendments of the Legislature have report
cd the first series of amendments proposed by
Them to the State Constitution. They refer 70
the exercise of the right Of suffrage and are
dependent the one npon the other to some de-
gree and can therefore be voted upon 10 the ag-
grepate. The correspondent of the Petersburg
News :-'They propose to make the pre-
PAYMENT of the poll tax condition prerequisite
to voting and that the whole sum thus raised
be devoted to the public school fund, and that
the provision now requiring tax OF one mill
on the 800 value of property be stricken out
It is beiieved that the rate of 81 per head, the
poll tax, will raise annually s450,O0O, If not
$500 900, which is largely In excess OF the pre-"
sent revenues OF the schools. The other amend
ments 10 this group refer to the abolition OF
the ballot system and the substitution of the
viva voce system the abolition OF the present
system of registration, and the adoption of the
capitation lists of the assessor as the legal re-
gistry, DR.. Rutfner, the jealous guardian OF
the rights of the public schools wishes the
adoption of the poll tax amendment, because
it will aunihilate the last vestige OF opposition
to the SYSTEM by shifting the burdens from the
property holders to the body Of the people.
