FRErDMAN's BANK BUSINESS Washington,
August 1.-THE commissioners appointed
70 wind up the affairs Of the Freedman's
Rank sent to each OF the branches to-day a
prepared blank, which is to be filled up and
returned. showing the. balance due TO de.
nositors in each case. This is to embrace
also the special deposits made between June
ood ard july 18th, and which the commits
,ioners are now settling as rapidly as posi-
ble Depos:ors still persist in their refusal
to surrender their pass-books, and thus stand
greatly in their own light, because the ousl-
ness cannot be settled up and dividend de-
clarcd until after all these books shall have
been surrendered.
At first the commissioners intended TO re-
tain these books, giving receipt for each
one. Two reasons impeled them to do this
one that it would more clearly enable them
to correct errors that might have been over
looked in first examination, and the other
that il would prevent the holders from ma.
king sale of them at sacrifice. Many OF
The holders, however, refused to surrender
them ON these terms, and in order to get
them in the commissioners agreed to return
them as soon as an examination had been
made. Bat even this has failed TO facilitate
matters in way the commissioners hoped
il would. Mr.. Leopold, who has special
charge of this business, is devoting seven
and eight hours day TO the work OF ascer.
tanning the exact liabilities of the instltu.
ton, and if depositors in the different
branches would respond more rapidly a
dividend could soon be declared.
