each territory one representative Frederick Doug
lass, B. K. Bruce of the District OF Columbia, and
Col. Wm Murrell, Of Maryland, were elected men,
bers OF the national committee from the country at

The committee on the Freedmen's bank made a
final report, memoTalizing Congress to reimburse
deposttOrs and denOuncing former act OF Congress
In creating commission at 5000 year each to
settle the affairs OF the institution.
In support OF the adoption of the report, Mr. Mur-
rell said that ''the FreedmenS bank was the most
disgraceful and sinful sw1ndle that ever
stained earth or shocked high heaven. The COM
mission appointed at S. 600 year each, WAS like
hyena devouring q carcass, and then like a lion
smashing its bones and sucking the marrow there
from; and, furthermore, republican Congress
made the commission the pall-bearers Of this same
carcass" The committee adjourned to meet in
