CoNeREssMAN Lynch goes to work
in the House with the ease of an old
member. Monday he introduced a
bill to reimburse the depositors Of the
Freedmans' Saving and Trust Compa-
ny for losses incurred by the failure
Of that company. The dividend of Is
per cent just declared by Commission
or Knox, leaves balance of As per
cent unpaid. Of this amount, nearly
one half, the Commissioner states III
his notice of the payment of the pres
snt dividend. that only small final
dividend Of 5 per cent can be realized
from the remaining assets. This will
make the depositors lose 40 per cent
Of their deposits. Mr. Lynch will do
his race great serviceif he succeeds
in urging Congress to do its duty b
making good this loss. The name Of
the Government was virtually given
as . surety for the credit of this insti-
tuition and it is only simple justice
that it should now reimburse the loss
to the depositors.

Revenue Agent Marvin has been
overlooking the condition of the bus
mess of the Internal Revenue in
this District. Collector Rapier,
whose executive ability and general
business tact we have often taken
occasion to commend, has reason to
be proud of the report OF his office
made to Com missioner Raum every
man of our race who builds up such
a record for business does more to-
ward her solid progress than hun
dred croakers and chronic grum
blers about the situation.
The following letter to Mr. Ra-
pier should be as much appreciated
by the colored people generally as by
the person to whom it is addressed

WASHINGTON d. c.,

James T. Rapier Esq:
Sir-I have received the report of
Revenue Agent Marvin, upon exam
ination Of your Office made by him
on the lst inst. Although this exam
ination was made on the busiest day
Of the year, all reports of stamps
ior April were completed, all stubs
and coupon books exhausted last
month had been scheduled and sent
on and the business of the office was
free from confusion. This excellent
condition of your Office maintained
under pressure of extra work, indi-
cate a gratifying degree of energy
and zeal on the part of yourself, and
four assistants. Your grade is first
