ES According to report trrm Washing
ton an ingenious New England investigator,
who has been examining the Congressional
C1obr, finds that one half the space Of that
record is required to print the remarks Of
Massachusetts members alone. This gentle
man, who is Representative. has started a
novel idea of reform. He proposes to divide
the cost of printing the Congressional record
among the Congressional districts, apd to
credit each member with his Prorortion and
charge him for the actual space used Any
excess of space over due proportion is to be
paid for from the members salary, ard when
the allotted space is not u.ed member Is to
have the money value Of it placed to his
credit Silence would literally be golden
then. We should have condensed speeches
and few of them. and the sessions of Congress
would be delightfully short

R9- The United States Supreme Court de-
cides that the confiscation of the Slidell prop
erty in Louisiana, ''passed only life estate,
and did not affect the title of Mr.. SIidel's
children as heirs" This decision establishes
a very important point. Suits to recover con-
fscated Southern property will now be in
order

THE FREEDMAN's SAVINGS BAHK.-The
cashier of the Richmond branch of the
Freedman's Savings Bank and Trust Com
pany has received no intelligence from WASH
ington concerning the orders sent him to
pay or receive no deposits" The deposi-
tors are exceedingly dcsirous to hear some
thing authentic about the financial condition
of the institution. Nearly every colored So
ciety in Richmond had something to its credit
in the bank here, and hundreds OF colored
dcpoSiLors had in it the savings of four or
five years.
According to the charter of the bank,
every dollar beyond what was necessary for
daily business was forwarded from Rich
mond to Washington to join the common
fund for investment. 1t ought to have been
invested ouc-half in Government securities
and one-hslf in real estate, but the late in
yestigation developed the fact that the mana
gers Of the company had frequently violated
its charter, and in many instances invest
mcnts were made where it was notorious
that the security was wholly Insufficient.
The parent bank at Washington did not
close its doors until Wednesday, although 1t
instructed Mr.. Spencer, the cashier here, 10
stop business Tuesday morning.
