The Freedman's Bank, says the
New York Star, was n special and
unique crei ton, officered and directed
exclusively by the truly loyal, and of
course, the patrons deemed it as se-
cure as the United Smtes treasury.
But the institution inglorously burst
ed and the unlucky depositors are yet
whlstling for seventy per cent. of their
hard-earned savings.
y year ago a committee Of the Sen
ate was appointed to examine into the
condition Of the wreck. The committee,
Republican in texture, with the color
ed Bruce as chairman, has just COM
pleted its report, which, Judging from
an advance abstract printed in the
Tribune, will fully confirm the worst
that has been said Of the mismanage.
ment Of this bank. Not only did the
officers violate the charter, but they
prevailed upon Republican Congress
to amend that instrument so as to af.
ford greater scope for squandering the
money of their gulled depositors. In
reference TO several historic transac.
tons, headed by the Seneca sandstone
contract, the report freely AYERS that
large sums were loaned, not only on
inadequate security, but "in accord
ance with corrupt agreements between
the officers Of the bank and the bor-
rowers."
Moreover, the expenses of winding
up the collapsed concern during the
past four years have been $685., ,994,
and it appears TO be as far from wind
ing up now as it ever was. The COM
mittee thinks that the faithless trus-
tees and officers cannot be reached by
legal proceedings, for they took par
ticular care TO give no bonds for their
faithful discharge of duty, and by n
singular coincidence the charter en-
braced no penal provisions to punish
their infdelity.
As Kadicaiism used The money OF
the colored man in this organized
swindle, so it is using his vote and bis
alleged grievances in politics, and
many colored men, both north and
south, are shrewd enough to see it.

SENATOR EDMUNDs, of Vermont,
may expect some day to be President
of the United States, but he should
reflect that there is one impediment in
the way which he will never be able
to overcome, and which will be for
ever a bar to the realization of his
hopes in that direction. He was one
of the infamous eight of the 8 to Z
electoral commission who voted TO set
aside the will of the people as ex-
pressed at the ballot box in 1876, and
install a fraud in the White House.
Such a man will never inspire the
American people with sufficient conf
dence in his integrity to induce them
to elect him President. The Presi-
Dental theft of 1876 will never be
forgotten. The infamy of that deed
will stick like the poisoned shirt OF
Nessus to all the actors in it through
life. They will never be able to
shake it off.

the constitutionality of these laws.
This decision would command more
respect were it not notorious and
undeniable fact that the majority of
the court as now constituted never
decides political question against its
party. On no occasion has any, one
of that majority ever been known to
sink the partisan in the judge, and it
cannot be expected that the judgments
of such tribunal upon political issues
will exert very powerful influence
over the public mind. OF course with
this judgment of the court, so long as
these laws remain upon the statute
book they must be regarded as valid
and binding, and until the time comes
when they can be repealed must be
obeyed, but it does not follow that
Democrats must believe they are right
in principle, or necessity of the gov
ernmcnt any more than they did be-
fore the decision of the court was rem
dered. The laws must therefore stand
until repealed. This cannot be done
so long as the Fraudulent Hayes re-
mains in the White House, and the
best that Democrats can therefore ex-
pect is TO make them as little obnoxious
as possible. This was the secret of
the amendment recently passed by the
Democrats of the House, against u
united opposition, placing the appoint
ments of marshals in the courts and
providing that they shall be selected
in equal numbers from all the politi-
cal parties. We expect but little
from this proposed change. The radi-
calls Of the Senate, determined TO keep
in their hands an unjust advantage
for the benefit of their party at the
next election, will fight it bitterly, and
ins the end Hayes will probably be
fokced to send in veto. The disguise
WI be thrown off. so that no one can
sdarbt that the only object Of radical
ism Is a determination on their part
to control elections by foul means, and
make the people pay for being cheated
out Of their rights.

Gently before Judge Pearson, in the
Quarter Sessions of Dauphin county,
it will be remembered that Petroif was
convicted by the jury of the crime of
corrupt solicitation, and that pleas of
guilty of the same crime were entered
in the cases of Kemble, Salter, Craw-
ford and Rumbarger. The parties
were under bail, and by agreement
sentence was suspended by the Court
until last Monday. In the meantime
the parties appeared before the Board
of Pardons, asking for pardon in adj
vance of sentence. They were heard
by the Board on last Saturday, and
their petition was denied, the Board
being equally divided upon the lues-
tion, Secretary Quay and Secretary of
Internal Affairs Dunkel voting in ia
vor Of recommending the pardon and
Attorney General Palmer and Lieu
tenant Governor Stone voting against
the recommendation. 1t is understood
that the Attorney General and the
Lieut.. Governor, refused to permit a
pardon until the sentence of the law
had been carried in effect by the fine
and imprisonment of the defendants,
and in taking this position they un-
doubtedly will be sustained by public
opinion. With this refusal perished
the last hope of executive clemency
before sentence. When Monday ar
rived the parties were called by Judge
Pearson to receive the sentence of law,
but none of them appeared and all
that could be done was to order for
feiture of their bail bonds and issue
bench warrants for their arrest. The
Harrisburg Patriot remarks that now
these men "are fugitives from justice,
but what they hope to gain by at
tempting to evade the penalties of the
law is not easily discerned. They
must live in constant dread of rear
rest, and perpetual exile is hardly
preferable to few months imprison-
ment. The fact is that if sentence
had been pronounced at the time of
their conviction they would probably
by this time have been in fair way
of reaching the board of pardons with
out encountering the opposition which
their recent attempt to forcstall the
judgment of the court aroused against
them. The delay of sentence there
fore cheated not only the law but also
the defendants"
