The Errcdman's savings Bank.

The special committee investigating
the Freedman s Savings Bank will soon
present report to the Honse, which
will contain some interesting disclo-
sures. The committee has succeeded in
at last in fastening a guilty response
bility on several of the late officers of
the bank, including the former actuary,
Colonel Eaton, now deceased; his sue
cessor, G. w. Stickney. and colored
man named Boston. who was for some
time cashier Of the bank It is proved
by the committee that the actuaries
were in the habit of allowing ring con
tractors. who had no funds Of their own,
TO use the funds of the bank to carry out
their contracts. The profits derived
from the contracts were shared with the
actuaries. The colored cashier Is
proved to have been one Of the worst
offenders. 1t IS expected that the result
OF the report of the committee will be
that such of the parties as are accessible
will be punished. The investigation is
not yet concluded.

Relics for the Centennial.

The st. Louis Globe Democrat Of Friday says :
Yesterday, n most valuable and interesting
collection of ancient pottery and human bones
from mounds in Southeast Missouri. was reoeiv-
cd at the Centennial Office, 404 Walnut street.
The specimens are nearly one hundred In num-
Der, and consist mostly Of eating, drinking and
cooking vessels, very queer in shape aud curious
in their ornsmentation. Some have inscriptions
upon them, but a second Champollion might be
required to make sense Of these inscriptions
Some OF these bones indicate that "thsrs were
giants in those days, and the skulls are Of =
thickness to bid defiance to anything less forci-
BILE than mimic ball.
The explorer Of these wonderful mounds say
the skeletons seem to indicate the distinction Of
sex, the larger skeletons having on each side Of
the head an eating and . drinking vessel, while
the smaller ones. answering tn the woman, were
honored with nothing better than = small pot or
stew-pxn. Those American PharoAhs had ovi-
IDENTIFY vegy poor notion Of womsn's rights.
Most of the specimens are on . large table 1t
the Centennial office ct the Southern, and scen.
lists and others are invited to inspect them.
The work Of exhumation il still going on, and
large additions will be made to this department
at the Missouri Centennial collection. There 10
also great activity in every part of the work, and
the Secretary is receiving daily additions 70 the
store OF products from the m,nes aod farms of
Missouri. Four boxes, filed with valuable speci-
mons, were received from ono road yesterday.
