C,, Feb, 1.—Following is tho report of the German Natlonal Hank Investi- yatlug Committee, submitted to the IHotse this morning by Mr. Price. Mr. Price begins with quoting the resulution of the Mouse unger which the Committee was organized, and anya: “Tn compliance with which resolution the Subs Conmittee, consisting of Buekner, Lounsberry, and Price, visited Chlengo on tho Ith day of October, 187, Mr. Edinund Jissen appeared a8 nttorney for the petitioners at whose Instance the fnvestigation was usked for, James M. Flower, Recelver of the German Nation! Bank, and Henry Greonebaum, who was President of the ink before and at tho timo of the failure, wero also present. Tho Commuttec remained in seasion for several duys, exatnining withesses in refer- onee to all matters complained of, and also in examluing the books of the bank, in which ex- amination tho Committee wis assisted by nn exe .Pert accountant.” The testimony of all .wit- nesses domonstrated very conclusively that great irregularity had been practiced in con- dueting the affuirs of the bank, and that the man= ner of keeping books bud been of such a chir- neter as to muke it very aliicult for even an ex- pert nceountunt to ascertuin tho nature of tho transnetions, Tho irregularities wero #0 nu- merous nid so great as to iinpress the minds of the Comunittes with a suspicion that THEY WERE INTENTIONAL, Tho language of ono of the witnesses who was introduced as an expert bookkeeper, is: *1 think they huve been kept Ina very Joose mane ner, and inmaking tho examination we have found many entries of a blank character’ Again this witness says: ‘Only a party familiur with the books could trace many of tho entries.’ Agnin ho says: ‘As orute the entries ure of such w bilnd charactor that it Is with great difi- culty that anything could bo traced to ita true origin.’ « “Your Committea also find that good assets were used ufter fullure of tie bunk to pay preferred creditors, which was clenrly in violatlon of Inw. 8v far as the nets of tho Con- troller of tho Currency and of tho Receiver are concerned, the letters putin ovidence and tho testinony of witnesses on the stand Indicate a disposition on the purt of those officers to pro teet the Fhe: of the stockbolders and creditors of the bak, Possibly u litte more vigilunes and energy might have been exerciged ty Kood pur- pond. And in the opinion of your Cominittes a ‘ar construction of Jaw would have authorized and Justitied these olticers in adopting more btringont measures towards the Directors and iuanuging olicers of the bank, for the testimony: DISCLOSES THY FACT that transfers were made on the books of tho bunk by which good nsseta wore used to pay preferred creditors of tho bauk, Such vninafers are clearly under law not only vold- able but absolutely yold. At tho time of tho {nlluro of the bank, in Deceimbor, 1877, {ta at- fairs, 08 uppears froin testimony, were put Into. tho Bandy of a managing. comiilteo, consisting of Henry Greonabaumn, President, with the Vicu- President and Cashier of tha bank, and this Committee hud entire control of its ulfalrs until Deceinber, 1878; and during allof this gents ae appears from the testiminny, Honry Greone- bum was really tho managing man and con- trolled the assets of tho bank, and it was during this timo that the assets of the bank shrunk from what ho sald was 80 or 00 per cenit Rg ea stance tho testimony of Sir. Flower is, 10 ‘bank lost $20,000, aid that Henry Greenctaum fet the money. The overdrafts of persons dolng: business with tho bank were allowed to run up sometimes to nearly $100,000, for which there was no security, and in addition to this memorandums or slips of puper, made by Henry Greenebaum, amounting to $15,000, word count- ed na cosh, THE WHOLE SECRET of tho troublo with the German National Bank of Chicago, us disclosed Wy testimony, hus arisen from the fact that the Directors, whose aworn duty it was to watch over and quurd the Inter- f the stockhuldors and creditors of the bank, have utterly fulled to attond to thoir duty, but have ullewed one or two men to mane ago ity afilrs and bandle tts funds us thoy saw proper and if the creditors of a National bank ave not the right of ction at comtnon law or ae equity aguinst the Board of Dirpotors, who, wrong , action or neglect oo. 1,000 duty, cause loss to stockholders or +) creditors, thon the law should bo so changed ua to give that romedy. As an ovidonca that thore was groas nogiizence on se prt of those whose sworn duty tt was to suo that tho bank was conducted uccording ta Inw, If, indeod, it didsnot amount to eriminal wrong, your Committee cull attention to the fact that on tho €th of December, 1877, tho books of the bunk did not show any overdrafts, while ‘a_bulunce-sheet or statoment of affiirs of the bank on the sawe auy abowed an overdraft of $02,050. The grounds or t MAKING THIS INVESTIGATION by Congress, us disclosed by « petition preronted tothe House, presupposed milamunnigemont, if not criimingl management, of the affulrs of tho bank by some of {ts otlicers, us well us a charge of tutlure on tho purt of the Controller of the Currency to initiate # criminal prosecution of the allegod, Cea tare and wn Hag fasatdien, on tho purt of tho Recelver to do bla duty in the premises. It uppours that when application wag niade to the Coutraler, Seta the charges ayulnst the officers of the bunk, that be prompt- ly referred the mutter to the Solicitor of tho ‘frousury, und that he, with the assent of the Attorney-General, directed tho United States: Attorney for the Northorn District of Milnols to luy the imatter before the Grand Jury; but atthe tine this order was imade there was no Grand Jury in session, und shortly thereafter theattorney for the Government resigued bis position, and A successor Lud been appointed Ube short timo bofure the Cominittve met at Chicugo. No proliminary examination of tho cburwes against the bank oficers hid been made, nor hud any arrests beon made with & view to such prolliiioury examination; but your Com Tulttoo havg learned that since the investigation these churgos ayuinat the iate President have fia RESP GP GE le order of jeltor of tho ‘Treasury was received, and THAT AW INDICTMENT UAS DEEN FOUXD and tho oftiger thus indicted bas been hold to it ala an ad FEBRUARY 1 bail, and his caro will be reudy for trial at the nextlertn of court, Your Conunittee reaitirin that the leading andprinclpal cause of the fall- ure of this bak fx the fact that tho Directors 1 terly filled In thelr duty to watch over the nf+ fniraof the bnnk, a we recommend that the Nationale Hank act be ao ninended isto hold toa ore strict accountability nll Directors, and also thnt stockholders, whose business It [8 to elect Directors, should in no cnse be retleved from personal reaponalbility to tho creditors of their hank until thoy shall have paid not only the amount of stook held-by thet, fi ditional aum eqttal to sald toe CONTROLLER KNOX is not in the city, and his opinton of the eritle. fins upon his course contained $n the report. of the Banking and Currency Comunittee on. the Gerinan National Bank cannot be nacertained, Mr. Knox watchod tho progress of the Investl- gation, however, and It is very evident that he will take issue with the Cominittee that his inne suement of the afairsof that bank was In any way Inx, WASHBURN—DONNELLY. THE FOUMIER TO BE UNRATED, Spectat Dispatch to The Chicugo Tribune, Wasntxaron, D. 0., Fob. 1.—Tho people of Miunesota will doubtless be greatly surprised to. learn that the Democratic majority of the Sub> Comuittes of tha House Committee on tlons, to which was referred the contested case of Ignatius Donnelly against W. D. Washburn, of tho Minneapolls District, hus decided to ro- port to the whole Committee In favor of unseat- ing Washburn and of seating Donnelly, on the charge of bribery on behalf of Washburn at the election, Tho people of Minnesota and of the country, and tho fair-minded men even in the Democratic party in Congress, will be moro sure prised to learn that tho Democratic muJority of this Sub-Comtnitte Is already engaged in pre- paring a draft of a report IN FAVOM OF DONNELLY, although there hag nover yet been n meeting of the Sub-Committes proper at which the Hepub- Henn mombers of the Committee were present to consider tho cnse, except to heur arguments, At least, tho Repubhodn members of the Sub- Committee do not know that tho case has ever been considered for action in Sub-Committee. Yet it Isn fact, which Representatives Manning of MississippJ, Armfeld of North Caroling, and Belahooyer of Pennsylvania will scarcely ques- Uon, that the three gentlemen named havo de- elded to report In favor of unseating Washburn and of seating Donnelly. Unless tho three gen: tlenen change thelr minds, there will never have been a more consplouous Instance of par. tlsan uction In tho bistory of American politics, NO INTELLIGENT DEMOCRAT Jn Washburn’s district for « moment supposed that the clulm of Donnelly, that he was elected to Congress, was nnything more thun a piece of trumpery devised either to give Donnelly some additional notoriety or to help defray his cx- ponses for the winter In Washington. Least of ail are the people of Washburn’'s district pre- pred to believe that even n Democratic sub- committes of Congress would report that tho mujorlty of moro’ that 3,000 honestly enst for Washburn was securod by bribery on the part of Washburn or his agents. Such, however, is the fact, IT REMAINS TO i BEEN whethor the Domocratle majority of the wholo Committee will Indoras this uction of its Sub- Committvo and take -still nnotbor step toward stenling the Presidensy In case there should be noeleetion by tho people. Tho unseuting of Washburn and the seating of Donnolly, In tho event of 1 contest for tho Presidency in the House, would deprive the State of Minnesota of the vote of its Republloan majority. Washburn has been unwilling to bdelleve, that any such action could be taken, and It seems so utterly incomprehenslble and, indetensiblo that ke can scarecly bellove it now. But it isufact. Tho only question In doubt about ft fs, first, whether theaction of the Sub-Committee will be upproved by the full Committee; and, second, whether, if 80, the full Cominitteg will report te the House until atter the Presi¢fatial election. It soums, howover, to be the DEMOCIATIC PARTY POLICY tohold the cases of McCabe against Orth and of Donnelly against Washburn iit reserve for use in any contingency which may. buppen after next November, Tho Minnesota delegation now stands two le- publicans and one Democrat. Should Wash- burn be rejected and Donnelly seated, it would atand two Democrats and one Republican, This would gly@ the vote of tho State, which has 20,000 Kepublican majority, for u Democratle President in tho event of the failure of the Electoral Colleyo to cleut. It is manifest that the deep purpose of the Demoerncy, which wus revealed inthe attempt: to steal” the State of Malne, tg agin disetosed in this cifort to rob the people of Minnesota of their rights, IP 18 NOT HE INTENTION of tho Bib-Committes to make a roport in writing, but cach mombor will submit his views orally to the whole Committeo, Such a report. inight not be u pleasant campaign document in possession of the Republicans. A Democratic miember of the Sub-Committee characterized the case nga very ditieult and perplexing one, and hoped that tho netlon of tho Cominittes would commend itself to tho lovers of good government and fair dealing throughout tho country, It 1s uscertuined that It is proposed to reject 1,700 votes of Washburne's 3,012 nnjority by throwing-out the entire poll of Minneapolis. THE PONCAS, TESTIMONY BEFORE A COMMITTEE. Spectat Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune, Wasistnaton, D. C., Feb. 1.—Tho Special Son- ate Committees of which. Gov. Kirkwood Is Chairman began this morning the examinetion of Standing Bear, the Ponca Chief, with regard to the hurdships auttored by hla people in consu- uence of thelr enforced ‘removal to the Indian Territory.

When ho did comprehend the questions he genticulated with his arms and fingers most vigorously at tines, Ho spoke directly to Sonator Dawes, and AEEMED TO WE STRUGGLING with tho conviction that, 1f ho only gesticulnted with mifficlont omphasis, the Senator would gathor his moaning directly from himectf and without tho ald of the Intorproter, Miss Bright Fyea comported herself with the salf-possesston and grace of a rotinod lady. The story, a8 told by Blanding Bour, In reaponse to Senator Dawes! Snquiry, is us followa; ‘There were ten Chicfa of the Poncas, of whom White Eagio was first and Standing Bear was tho second in rank, Their ancestors used to lve nour tho ocean, but wont, West and made their homed on the Niobrara many years syo, so muny that no ono can remember thom.” Ono day three mon, their Agent und two others, camo to thom and suid; “The Prosident says you must move.” ‘The Chlofa aaked whuro they should go, as tho land all about thom wus occupled, ‘Phey had grown old tn tholr presont homes, and hoped todio in thom, ‘To thistho white mon replied by oxborting them to talk ike men, Thoy promised to tke the Chlofs to anathor locallty, and show {t to tham, and. if it did not gult, they ugreed to take them to Washington TO SEK THE PRENIDENT. ‘Ono day thoy started.

To the Western Aitoelated Press, Wasnixoton, D.C, Feb, 1L—The Senate re- Jected ull the nominations of Consus Supervisors for tho elght census districts of Ohio, ‘This re- sult wus reached at the end of a prolonged ses« alon of three hours, during which the reasons for tho inajority’s netion on these nominations were distinetly atated und their purpose in ree gard to the remainder of the Supervisors nomle nations slguiticuntly forestidowed, Senutor Peudieton, Chiirman of the Census Committee, why reported the Ohlo naninatlons adversely, made the opening speech. He « plained thut the udverre report hud no reference the person churneter of tho nominees, but was bast solely upon the ground that the Pres: ident, in nominuting eight Hepubiicans, and not. 0 single Deinocrat, to Appoint enumerntors and supervise tho taking of tho vensugs In Ohio, hud violnted the spirit of the Census law and ignored the distinct understanding of both parties in Congress when the bill was passed, that tho Supervisors as well as enuimerators should be uppolnted INKESPECTIVE OF PARTY AFFULTATIONS, No explicit requiremont of this sort had been inserted in rej to Supervisors, as was the caso in regard to enumerntors, simply It was considered on all bands to be unnece: especialy In view of tho remurk made tho Republicans tn. the debate that. the Democrats could control tho confirmations by means of their aaceniency fn the Senate. Some showing of non-puetiaanship had been made in the uppointinent of Supervisors for some of the States, but in most of them the Deniverats have been wholly Sgnored by the Presittent, and this: case of Ohio was a xluring Instance of tho partisanship of selections, for, atthough about half the feonla of Ohio are Democrats, and the State hus two Democratic ators end eleven Democratic Representatives Inthe present Congress, the President had not Appointed ony Detnocratic Supervisor to assist iy tukiny her census, Mr, Pendleton argued that, in view of tho fact that this census will be forten years tho busis Tor the upportlonment of representation in Con- gressund intho Stute Legislature, it isof the NUchest Importance not only that tho Supervisors shall be personally competent, but that tho re- sulta of thelr labors SHALL HE ATOVE RUSPICION from any standpoint, political or otherwize. Senator Thurman also spoke at, considerable length In tho sume general line of argument us his colleague, Very little dissent was expressed on the Re- publican side of the Chamber in regard to tho correctiiess of the allegations or the soundness of the claims thus presented, but conalderuble time wus consumed in discussing a suggestion mude by Senator Edinunds In suine extended re- marks (which was warmly supported also by several other Republicans), to the eifect that the better und fairer way for the Democrits to uttain their. purpose would be tovontirm such proportion of the total number of appointinents us they deemed prop- er, und thon reject the less-deserving remaln- 0 | der, thus leaving vacancies to be filled here> fifter by persons ueeeptnbly to thom. ‘The reply to thia was thut tho mnjority could not intelifgently make the proposeil selection, their objcetions being to nominees collectively and not individually, and that tho President should bhnself revise his list. A voto was ‘thon taken on tho firat three or four of the Obtu nominations serlatim, aud thoy were BUCCRSSIVELY REIECTED 4 by a division of the Sonato on’ strict party lines, except that Hill, of tieorgin, voted with thp Republienns on ongor two of thom, und sttb- sequently withheld his vote.
