THE FREEDuAN's BANK.
The Comptroller Of the Currency Fa
vOrs the GOvernment Assuming
Hts Liabilities.
lBy telegraph TO the Dispatch.

WASHINGTON, December I6.--The Speaker
laid before the House to-day a report from
the Comptroller OF the Currency, er OficiO
Commissioner OF the Freedman's Savings
and Trust Company. on the aft airs OF
that institution. The report shows that on
December the 18th there was balance on
hand of SLID. The Comptroller makes
strong plea i'm favor of the assumption by
the Government Of the liabilities Of the ia
stitution TO its depOsitors. lie quotes at
length the reports OF his predecessors
on The subject, and says: More than $1,000
depositOrs had at their credit at the time OF
the failure Of the bank only IS or less each,
and it may be necessary that these should
be sought out and paid with as little cost TO
them as possible, while thousands OF others
have still at their credit amounts so small
a. TO be entitled TO Ike share OF con>idera-
ton. He SAYS II would seem proper To
allow nj least three years for the presenta-
ton and auditing OF these claims, aud sug-
costs January !, 1890, ~ the time OF final
liquidation. He is inclined to think that
the estimate OF his immediate predecessor
that II ,0O0, eco would be sufficient TO settle
all demands likely to be proved Is correct.
In his report the Comptroller reflects
strongly on the former managers OF the in-
.titution. He says tbat the congressional
investigation in 1879 revealed nothing but
hopeless tangle Of involved and disputed
reck0nings. Nearly every man OF position
and means had withdrawn preparatory to
the collapse IN 1874, and the few that re-
NAMED had never given adequate Affection
to the concern. Some OF the active mana
gers. the Comptroller says, come under
strong suspicion OF dishonesty, yet no
criminal proceedings have ever been taken,
nor has recovery been attempted through
procpss of law

BIG RAILROAD SUIT.
ANTICIPATED PIERCE CONTEST OVER
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS.
Complaint Served In New York Against tho
9. andO. Railway Company to Restrain
Hisappropriation Of Revenues.
IBy Telegraph 70 ths plspatch. |

Ngw YoRg, December 1G.-The first step
In what bids fair 10 be along and fiercely.
contested suit against railroad company
was taken to-day by Abraham Wormser OF
ibis city. and Isaac McConihe, a prominent
citizen Of Troy, N. Y. Millions Of doilirs
are at stake, and the suit Is certain to be
met with Gerce opposition at every point.
Ia some parts the case IL identical with the
recent actions which have been decided adj
yersely to the Wabash road.
Louls II. Sch-am, as attorney, and Judge
ArnouX, ~ counsel, have to-day served
complaint in the Supreme Court Oh behdi
Of Wormser and McConlhe against the
Chesapeake and Ohio Railway Company
sud the Central Trust Company OF New
York. The action Is brought for the pur-
pose OF restraining the railway company
from applying its revenues to the detrinent
Of the holders OF the bonds Of series "B"
81 the company.
The facts upon which action is based are
substantially AS follws: In July, 1873, the
Chesapeake and Ohio Railway Company Is
sued its trust deed 10 secure seventeen mil
hon dollars OF its bonds. Two millions
were called Series ga" and fifteen millions
were Series "B." These two series OF
bonds were by the terms OF the trust deed
TO be upon an equality as to lien and pay
mcnt OF interest and principal, except that
for the first five years the interest OF the
"B" bonds was payable partly in script.
The complaint charges that the railway
company .wroDgfully discrlmnates against
the "B" bonds by paying their interest
only partly IN cash, while the " A y inter-
eft was beng paid in full. Ii is further
claimed that the officers OF the road III
vited the "B" bondbolders to scale their
interest from 6 to per cent, aud that 4
per cent. per annum was being paid to the
consenting bondholders, while those who
did not consent received only a fraction OF
their interest In cash.
The plaintiffs further say that the rail-
road company Is annually paying a large
amount In the shape OF interest on the New
port News extension bonds out OF the earn.
ings that should he applied 10 the interest
on the "B" bonds, 10 the prejudice OF the
"B" bondholdeis.
A claim Is put forward that II the affairs
Of the road were properly conducted, and
the income distributed as provided in the
membranes the "Br bondholders would
receive their interest In full.
The complaint seeks an Injunction to
prevent the abuses complained OF, and a
preliminary restraining order VIII shortly
be- applied for. Besides this suit an action
at law on unpaid coupons has been begun
against the company at Troy, n. T., put
the attorneys in that case are not connect
I'd with the new action on the part OF the
"B" bondbolders. In the latter case the
Central Trust Company Is the only party
pro lorna, for the reason that they are the
trustees named in the mortgage on which
the bonds were issued.
