Mr.. r. PurTis thought the institution had been
badly managed in the past, and thus the charter
had been violated in very many particulars His
associates he thought were thoroughly in
sympathy with the depOsitors and were doing all
in their power to realize all out Of the assets Of
the bank possible. He paid q special compli-
ment to his colleague Mr.. Leopold as q man of
energy, and laboring hard for the depositOrs. He
also spoke very highly Of the inspector Of the
bank, Mr.. Sperry. Remarks were also made by
Prot. Green, Mr.. Thomas and several Others
Mr.. Hilliard thought the community at least
should know who were responsible for the bad
loans. He also wanted It to be known that the
rascaIity was not confined to the white men en-
pIOyed in the bank.
Resolutions were drawn heartily indorsing and
thanking the commissioners for their efforts in
behalf OF the depositOrs and referring with favor,
confidence and special mention Of Mr.. Robert
PurTis as q faithful commissioner Of the 'Freed-
mans trust"
Also, eendemning in the strongest terms the
defaultfng cashier and all who, In their official
connection with the bank, were endeaYoring to

statement from the commissioners in regard to
the true condition Of the Freedman's bank. Prof
John P. Sampson presided, with DIR. S. r. Watts
as secretary. The chairman briefly stated the
object OF the meeting and said there were OFTEN
business matters Of public interest that required
courage and sterling manhood on the part OF
those who would stand out in behalf Of the right;
there were thousands OF honest colored men In
the South who live not by politics, nor specula-
brow in the fields, in the workshops and at the
anvil. They denied themselves Of the ordinary
comforts Of life in order to get homes for their
wives and children. They had entered into
large contracts for farms and landed property,
and then, governed by our advice, deposited their
money in tins bank, expecting BY 1t 70 meet their

the untimely death OF one Of the gOs-

despair that she had not been able to
cook the goose Of her Billy with six
shooter, shuffisd Off this mortal coil with
the assistance Of poison. But it is not to
this ssd event, nor to the "Blue Goose"
itself, that We desire 10 call psrticu-
Tar attention, but to the fact that
the leading enemies Of Arkansas, were
recently in caucus, With Morton, Of In-
