The Ereeomen's HANK IN worse
Condition Than Supposed
WASHINGTON, D. c., March 1.-THE
Freedmen's Bank is in a worse condition
than heretofore supposed, and, therefore,
the commissioners, CreSsWell, Leopold and
Purvis, have asked to be relieved from any
further responsibility for or on account Of
said trust, provided their bond may lie re-
leased from liability after their retirement,
and rev commissioners substituted in
their places. They assign as the cause of
their action, the failure TO obtain from Con
gress such legislation as they deemed eS-
sential 10 the proper and speedy execution
of THE trust IepOsed in them.
AIeOrn Gone Over to PInehbaek.
Senator AlcoTn, Of Mississippi, to day
says he had changed his mind, and will
vote for the admission of Pinchback to a
seat in the Senate.
A Cabinet Talk With Regard TO APP
POIntments.
The Cabinet session to-day was of two
hours duration. The principal subject
under consideration was with relation to
appointments of persons to Office after con-
firming few nominations.
The Programme OF the Senate.
The Senate, in executive session this af-
ternOon, discussed for more than an hour
the order of business, and agreed to the
following arrangement: The Ha-
waiian Reciprocity Treaty shall
be laid aside until Wednesday
next, on which day its consideration shall
be resumed. The Senate is to meet to-
morrow and proceed with the consideration
of the Pinchback resolution, with a definite
understanding that a final vote shall be
taken on it next Tuesday. After that the
Hawaiian treaty is to be disposed Of, and
it seems TO be the general understanding,
though not a matter of positive arrange
ment, that the special session shall termi-
nate at the end of next week, without any
action on the second Louisiana resolution,
namely, that for the recognition of the
Kellogg Government.

End OF the Arkansas ImbrOgIlO.
The President has directed all Govern
