missioners of savings Banks, whenever they
see occasion to do so, to limit AMI regulate
the time and amount OF payment of deposits
by any savings bank as they may think
proper. The orders made under it usually
prescribe that only "A certain percentage Of
his deposits shall bc paid 20 each dcpus-
itor. and that i'm the. event of the banks
being wound up, the whole loss shall be
borne prupurtionubly by all the dcpositurs
together. Even before this statute was
enacted, IL was the practice for the Commits
sioncrs, when they discovered a small dcii-
cheney in the assets Of a savings bank. to
enjoin the bank both from taking fresh de-
posts and from paying interest. II this rule
had been observed In the ease Of the Third
Avenue Savings Bank when it first got into
trouble five years ago, the bank might have
been saved, and at, least, the dcpositUrs at
that time would have got nincty-live cents
on the dollar all round. instead Of some of
them getting paid in full. while others have
got only sixteen cents on the dollar.
The whole subject, We are glad to SEQ, has
been presented to the Legislature of this
State. and it is to be hoped that some sub
stantial reforms in the manner of conduct
ing the business of savings banks may re-
suit from its consideration.

Let IL BE Well Done.

ton into the Florida frauds may be con-
Quoted, the duties dcvOlving upon the mcm-
bcrs Of such committee will he of tho
gravcst character The work Of the COM
mittee should be performed with such judi
cial fairness rs to challenge criticism from
the most violent Of partisans. No ground
of complaint should bc afforded to the most
captious. This will bc easy II the true pur-
pose of the investigation be kept constantly
in the foreground. Its purpose is to get at
the truth. II Mr. HAYES was lawfully
elected President, it is desirable, not only
for him, but for every one else. to
have that fact so clearly established
as to leave no further room for doubt about
his title to the Office And the committee
ought TO bc as ready TO arrive at the con-
clusion that Mr.. HAYES was elected, il the
evidence warrants IT, a. at any other. In
other words its whole proceeding should be
characterized by perfect fairness and indis-
rutable Importantly. II the charges Of
fraud cannot be maintained, il the Florida
confessions are all untrue, We shall be as
ready to recognize that state of facts, when
it is once established, n any other.
If, on the other hand. the frauds arc fully
proven, and the Florida confessions. after
the most searching inquiry turn out to be
true, the Americans are not such mean
spirited people that they will tolerate Mr..
HAYES in four long years of usurpation.
But whatever the truth may Toe, the great
dcsidcratum is that the investigation should
be 50 conducted that the conclusion to which
the committee shall arrive shall hc general
~ concurrcd in 10y the public. While the
committee has to perform, to some extent
the duties Of a public prosecutor, its mem
bcrs may we'll bear in mind that one of the
highest qualities that can distinguish pub
lie prosecutor is judicial fairness. The
primd tdci' ease against Mr.. HAYES seems to
IL remarkably strong; bat the vcriost
wretch who has himself confessed, if he af-
tcrward retract and plead Not Guilty, is en-
titlcd to an impartial trial.
