THE Pittsb1rg Post puts it this way:
The Philadelphia Press has Just dis
covered that the Centennial as an in
ternational or even a national exhibi-
tion, has died of an overdose of Came
ron and the Philadelphia Ring. The
moment Cameron, Stdkley, Leeds, and
the Mysterious Pilgrims undertook to
speak for it, paralysis seized upon its
vitals and it died. We have hitherto
advocated this enterprise, but must
confess our sympathy for Philadel-
phia since the recent election has weak
ened to such an extent that we don't
care whether Judge Reed takes old
rye IN hjs Schuylkil on that occasion or
not"

OF the Bank and its Numerous
Branches-AIIeSed Serious DeEaIca
Eions.
From the New York Tribune
WASHINGTON, March 9.-The House
Committee on Banking and Currency be-
gun to-day an inquiry into the condition of
the Freedmen's Savings Bank and its num-
erOuS branches, in obedience TO a resolution
adopted on motion Of Mr.. Bromberg, of
Alabama, some weeks AGO. The members
of the Committee say that the proceedings
thus far are preliminary, and they wish it
understood that the fact that the
investigation is taking place ought not to
alarm the depOSitOrs in these institutions.
The resolution instructed the committee to
report whether any legislation is necessary
TO secure additional protection to the de-
positors. The Freedmen'S Bank was es-
tablished in March. 1865, under the name
of the Freedmen's Savings and Trust Com
pany and Under a charter obtained
from Congress. The ayowed pur-
pose of its incorporators was to encourage
the freedmen to save their earnings and
cultivate habits of thrift by afiording them
an opportunity Of making a safe investment
in a bank having the sanction of the
national government. Branches were soon
established in all the principal cities of the
South, and also one in the City of New
York. These branches are not authorized
by the act of Incorporation, and not Oper-
ating under State charters are exempted
from the safeguards thrown around other
savings banks by State law. They are, in
fact. subject to no control or supervision
except that Of the parent bank in Washing
ton. There was no provision of law for
an examination of the affairs of the parent
bank until 1873, when a general act was
passed authorizing the Comptroller of the
Currency to overhaul all the banks in
