PARIS, June I'm. Ollivier's book in
defence of the ministry, of which he
was the head on the breaking out of the
Eranco-Prussiun war, has appeared. 1t
declares that Prussia, by her insults,
really declared the war; ibis ministry
cannot be held responsible for entering
upon the conflict, for the act was unani-
Legislative body; nor is it responsible
for the military organization, which was
the work of years before it came into
power. III Olivier claims for his minis
try, that in n few months after its organi-
cation it Ind calmed the pubic mind
and restored the authority of the Co.
vernment, without employing either cor
ruption or intimidation. He publishes
letter from the Emperor, written after
the fall of the ministry, expressing con-
tinued confidence. In conclusion, NJ.
Olivier urges the Bonapartists to help
the present Government maintain peace
and respect the Constitution, and when
the opportunity comes for revising the
Constitution, then claim nm appeal to the
ple6iscte.

sioneEs of the Freedman's g Savings Bank,
having been unable to obtain release
from their sureties, are going forward in
their efforts to unravel the affairs of that
rotten concern, and save as much as
possible of the assets for the depositors.
They believe that by next winter, two
years after the INSOLVENCY of the bnnk
was disclosed, they will be able to distri-
butte first dividend of twenty per cent.
to the depositors. This will amount to
100000, and will be mostly realized
from the investments made here in
Washington. The investments mt the
Southern branches are in almost every
case n total loss. The Commissioners
think that ultimately second and DOS
sibly even third dividend of twenty
per cent. may be paid but this will de-
pend upon their success in compelling
the borrowers of the bank to pay their
linbilities. At present the Commission
ers have over 100000 collected, which
is lying in the United States treasury and
drawing no interest, on account Of the
