Tha Fraadman's Bank.

The refusal of Secretary BRIsTow 10 re-

phase of Tue history Of that remarkable IN

1t ts quite remarkable that gentlemen

nav well conclude that the affairs OIL 'he
Freedman's Bank are complicated by 0sIs'
,nsnaeement and official iaitblessness to de-
gree that makes the office OF comm'ssaonel
most disagreeabe. The three commissioners
named are believed to be gentlemes OF ID
teyritv. They losthe the heap OF corruption
that they have been appointed 70 examine'
and want TO avoid the painful task
The reports OF the condition OF the oanh
have continued to grow worse, and no"
there is wide scope for apprehension.
Early in the proceedings Of negrophlllsm
for party advantage this Freedman's Bank
was instituted. 1t was essential 10 conpiele
the round Of Radical measures TO make me
most Of the negro. 1t gave his prolesseu
Radical friends the opportunity to handle Ms
money and turn it to the best advantage.
We all Der how it was hailed as the sure
depository of the results of negro LABOR ,
which was to increase and prosper
a. negro industry became well regulated ana
Welded rich rewards. The poor African
looked to FRED. DOUGLASS, who stood at the
HELM of the institution, and they thought
insured the integrity of its management.
But the African has never won reputation
for administrative ability. The associates OF
FaEa. pulled wool over his eyes, and

Unlike the necro-mancer, FRED. being merely
a " negro.mancer ",ceuld not compel it to re-
appear.
The condition of the bank-the savings

appointment of commissioners to settle up

died. and there was a dreadful shrinkage OF
them. At first it was stated that there would
be q loss to depo>itors of ten per cent, then
of twenty, then of thirty, and SO on, until
nobody undertakes now to say what 1t IS,
and the commissioners are undertaking TO
give up The Dank to others.
To this pas has the affair come. 1t is for
the negroes to consider. They behold the
end OF one of the great Radical schemes for
their good. II they do not detect in it
scheme to rob them they are very obtuse, even
for negroes.
