THE FREEDMAN's SAVINGS BANK.

Affairs at the Freedmans Savings Bank, In
Blocker street, are at q dead standstll, no de-
posts being received nor payments made, yet,
strange to say the depositors, composed though
they are OF the poorer class OF people, appear to
manifest but little alarm. All day yesterday the
doors OF the bank were open, but the number OF
callers was small, and these all seemed
satisfied with the encouraging statements that
government, would "fx things all right"
This institution is one OF thlrty-two Char
tered by the government OF the United
States, under the title OF the "freedmans
Savings and Trust Company" and Is the second
largest In amount OF deposits its depOsttOrs con-
sistlng mainly OF negroes The manager or the
bank is samuel L. Harris, OF Brooklyn, and the
cashier John j. Zuile, venerable gentleman OF
color with short curly hair and most courteous
manners. An interview was obtained with THIS
gentleman last evening upon the bank steps,
where he stood, digniQed monument OF the
Civil Rights bill. Mr.. Zhilie asserts that the
Institution Is by no means in @ collapsed
we're made in Washington, and that the
institution has had enemies Tor friends, but It Is
his i'm OF esson that ninety-seven cents on dollar
can be paid to-day, and dollar for dollar few
months hence. When asked the cause OF the
banks suspension, he stated that despatch was
received from washington DAY before yesterday
ordering the refusal OF all deposits and the stop
mage OF all payments. The trustees are holding
meeting In that city, and In all probability further
orders will be received to-day. In the meantime
the creditors are comlorred with the assurance

MR. BANOROFT'S PRESENTS.
From the World.1

The HERALD calls attention to q notice IN the
London Telegraph Of a rumor that Mr. Bancroft,
upon his withdrawal from the American legation
at Berlin has received "a number ofimperlal pres.
ents Of great beauty and value,n and asks with
much simplicity whether 1t has "become custom
airy for American Ministers to receive imperial
presents Of great beauty and value" It is quite
certain, We believe, that all Imperial presents'
OF whatever beauty and value made to an Aneri-
can Minister are understood to be made to the
American government and are accordingly always
forwarded to the Patent once at washington.
Both the Emperor William and the Empress Augusta
OF Germany have many thousands OF admirers in
this country who will look forward with pleasure
and interest to the opportunity OF examining IN
the Patent once the tributes OF respect and appre-
citation paid by these exalted personages, through
Mr.. Bancroft, to the United'States. 1t would have
been extremely rude on the part Of Mr.. Bancroft
to decline to receive these tokens OF esteem for
his country, and we may confidently expect that
he will accompany them wnen he SENDS them TO
Washington with an elaborate panegyrlc on the
Imperial donors, in which we hope he will have the
good taste to treat the ''effete monarcniesn OF
Europe somewhat more tendery than he did IN
that too celebrated address OF his at washing ton.

OF having been invited to dinner only TO be dosed

Brokerage Case-ssCould Not Sec It.''
Before Judge McAdam.
Morris Jacobsen vs. Andrew Lester.-This action
which is an advance sKirmish in a heavy land suit
soon to be tried in the Supreme Cours had rather
q dramatic termination. 1t was to recover $40
brokerage commissions for the sale OF West
chester land. The plaintin, who is a voluble old
gentleman, and gave his evidence as II summing
1t up swore that the agreement to pay the $40 was
IN a paper which ex-Mayor Hall, the counsel for
defence was using in cross examination. "Point
it out" said the counsel But it not being IN the
paper the witness SAID 1t had been there and
erased and pointed out where the supposed
erasure was. Judge McAdam brought his keen
eyes to bear upon the spot, the jury pulled out
spectaces and bystander supplied pocket
microscope. The paper was thin letter, but no
marks OF erasure were visible. Whereupon, as
the Judge assured the Jury, the agreement having
been put in writing could only be proved BY the
writing, and as piaintin was positive the words
were written in It was for the Jury TO ind them
or the place OF erasure before plaintiff could re-
cover. Despite sharp eyes spectacles and micro.
scopes the Jury without leaving their seats found
they could not 'see it' and rendered verdict for

AN EX.BANK PRESIDENT IN
DICTED.

While the United States District Attorney was
investigating the case which Charles Calender,
the ex-bank examiner. was charged with receiy-
ing prbe in his o11cial capacity. he became pos
sessed OF information which led TO the finding Of
an indictment against George Ellis, formerly
President OF the late Commonwealth National
Bank, charging him with making false entries IN
the BOOKS f.that bank and Incorporating about
$50, 900 OF its runds II Is charged that the acts
complained OF were committed IN december, 1872.
The allegation Is that he misapphed the money or
the bank BY using IL to buy stock of the bank
which stock he afterwards deposited with the Sc.
curity National Bank to obtain credit on, drawing
against the value OF the stock so deposited: and
that false entries were made to cover thesetrans-
actions, which are MADE criminal offences under
the United states Banking act.
He was arrested on Tuesday evening last by
Deputy Marshals Crowley and Robinson, at his
residence, in Tarrytown. He was brought TO the
United states Court building yesterday, and up TO
late hour was endeavoring TO obtain bail Tor trlal.

THE YoNKERs SENSATION.

Critical Condition OF tho Wounded
Man-The Prisoner Fully Committed
for tho Action OF tho Grand Jury.
The attempted murder of James r. Sanders in
che City Court room az Yonkers on Tuesday alter
noon was almost the sole topic Of conversation
among the excited residents Of that place yester-
day. An animated business was done by the news
dealing fraternity, as BY ten O'Clock in The morn
ing not o copy OF the HERALD was for sale within
the city limits. While discussing the entire
absence Of provocation on the part OF
the wounded man, few OF the citizens
advocated the expediency OF INJECTING summary
punishment on the would-be assassin rather than
risk the possible interpostion OF so-called legal
obstacles or the suspense engendered by 'the
laws delay.n Those who INDUCED In this intern
perate strain, however, were in such hopeless
minority as to exclude the possibility that the
course OF Justice would be tnterfered with for q
moment During Tuesday night and up to yester:
day morning Mr.. sanders rested tOlerabfy well
under the influence OF opiates As the
patient does not appear to suffer acute pain
physicians are still encouraging the hope that the
bullet did not pass through the intestines 1t is
perfectly natural Tor doctors to disagree however,
and some Of the medical profession shake their
heads ominously and try to look wise when ques-
toned as to the probable result Of tho wound In
the abdomen. There Is no doubt about the
CONDITION OF THE WOUNDED NAN
being extremely CRITICAL, as change at any mo-
ment might blast the hopes OF his physicians and
friends should no change for the worse ensue to-
day the chances for his recovery will have matsrt
ally increased.
Long before eight O'Clock A. NJ, the hour set
down Tor the examination Of August Lachaume,
the would-be murderer, who appears to be about
sixty years OF age an immense crowd had
gathered in the City court room and In the en-
frances thereto. The prisoner was brought into
court handcuned. By Captain ManGn and Ser
what DEFIANT looking Frenchman murmur OF
SUPPRESSED INDIGNATION
could be heard among the numerous auditory,
which did not, however, disturb the stolid pla-
cidity Of the prisoner. After City Judge Baird had
taken his seat on the Bench the charge OF assault
with intent TO kill was read to the accused by the
Corporation Counsel, N. 81. Ellis, and to the usual
interrogatory Lachaume, through his counsel,
waived examination and was accordingly
action OF the Grand Jury. The prisoners wife,
who was also In court, appeared as Indifferent to
the surroundings as was her husband, VINO looked
as though he would no: turn on his heel to save
his liie.n Before being taken to Court, the pris-
Oner mildly protested against the handouts being
used, informing Captain Mangin that he did not
care how soon he died. as he had no further desire
To live.
