The FreedInan'S Trust.
REPLY re CIRCUMSTANCES FROM
WHITE DEPosIToRs.
RELIEF FOR THE AFRICANS
white Depositors Have No Claim Upon
the Bounty Of Congress and orust
Find Consolation in tho
cosnpany's Aseets.

WASHINGTON, July 25. Since the pas
sage by the senate of the bill to REIN
burse depositors of the Freedman's Saw
ings and Trust company for losses incurred
by its failure, the comptroller of the
currency, as ex- -officio commissioner, has
Issued the following circular in reply TO
remonstrances received from white de-
positors against that provision in the bill
which limits the relief to depositors of
African descent:
s'This bill does not in any way alter,
impair or affect the rights of any depos-
itor in the Freedman's Savings and
Trust company to his full share of the
proceeds of the assets of that institu-
tion. The corporation is in liquidation
and that liquidation will proceed, and
whatever is ultimately realized will be
divided among all depositors who have
proved their claims Iii accordance with
existing laws.
''The affect of the bill passed by the
senate will be, II it becomes law, sim
ply to make good to those for whose
benefit exclusively the institution was
originally designed, the difference be-
tween their share of the assets of the
corporations and the amount of their de-
posits. This is pure gratuity from con-
in their favor rests upon the un1ues-
tionnble fact that none but persons of
African descent had any right to make
use of the Freedman's Savings and Trust
company in any manner, or toacquire by
any means any interest whatever in its
assets.
Neither you nor any other white de-
positor has any claim upon the bounty
of congress. You were bound to know
the limitatiins OF the charter of the cor
poration with which you dealt, and,
therefor, to know that its officers could
not lawfully take your deposits. Itisnot
now intended in any way to infiict upon
s=5hite depositors any loss, any injury, or
even censure; they have been, up to thia
TIME, treated precisely like those depos-
jtors who could alone lawfully make use
OF this Institution, and know of no
reason why they should not continue to
be treated in the same way SO far as the
assets of the corporation are concerned.
Very respectfully,
4s'W. L. TRENHOLM, Comm'rn
