them to make a living, no matter how hard
they might work the inadequacy of school
advantages, and fear that they would be
eventually reduced to system of peouage
even worse than slavery itself AS to the fu-
ture of the exodus the minority refer to the
testimony of many witnesses, who declared
that 1t has only begun, and that what we
have seen in part is nothing compared to
what has to come unless there shall be a radi.
cal change on the part of the Democrats in
the South. There is but one re emedy for the
exodus, and that is fair treatment for the ne
groes. If Northern Democrats would check
the threatened inupdation of black labor into
their States, they must recognize the facts
which have produced the exodus, and unite
with us in removing its causes"
The report is signed by Senators Window
and Blair, the two Republican members of
the committee.

BRATTLEBoRo, June 16th.-The rumors
upon which yesterdays dispatches were based
concerning the insolvency of the First Ma
tional Bank of Bratteboro are more than
realized. Although thorough investigation
has not begun at 2 o'clock, enough is already
known to warrant the statement that the loss
will reach upward of quarter of n million
dollars through the forgeries of President S.
NJ. Waite. who has undoubtedly left the
country, and, as the Directors believe, taken
alarge sum of money with him-how much can
onlybe determined by searching
which will be begun on the arrival of Rank
Examiner Hendree to-day, and who will act
as Receiver for the present. The forged pa
per includes the Connecticut River Railroad
r
600; Trenor w. Park, $4,000; Lyon &
cbmotive Works, about $4,000; G. J. Am
idon of Hinsdale, S15, 600; Vermilye & Co. Of
New York, some S75, 1000; and other names
will be made public as the investigation pro-
ceeds.
Waite has insisted on having no cashier, as
being an unnecessary expense, and has
otficiated himself as that officer of the bank.
1t is believed the frauds have been going on
for over ten years, and began when $40, 600
was loaned Waite's brother in Chicago to
help him out of difficulty in bank. He took
fraudulent notes as collateral for this debt,
and these he passed onItho Directors as assets.
Examiner Hendree first discovered the de-
Enouencies, and notified Waite OF his dis
covery, and it is supposed that he granted
Waite's request, and allowed him week to
w
the time by bidding his wife good-by on a
pretense of going to New York on business,
and he next wrote from Portland, "Shall
quit the country" The detectives believe
that he has committed suicide.
Certificates of stock have been issued, for
which as yet there has been no record found.
and double issue will undoubtedly be un-
earthed. The books of the institution are
badly garbled. The present Board of Di-
rectors consist Of S. NJ. Waite, j. NJ. Tyler
lat present member of Congress from this
district), +. A. Nash, w. +. Richardson, H.
C. Hillard of Brattleboro, Warren Parker of
Putney, Addison Whitehead of Vernon, w.
P. Richardson of Chester, and Co. iAmedon
of Hinsdale. Two of the members claim to
have never qualified. Suits have been
brought against these Directors by the stock
holders, who claim dareliction of duty. Sew
eral stockholders are known to have lost
their all by the collapse, and the feeling
against the Directors is very strong. 1t is
believed that some of the Directors are also
financially ruined, and that another county
bank suffers.
