THE DIPLOMATIC SERVICE. DEBATE IN THE HOUSE. Wasuinatox, D. C., March 27.-The House this morning, in Committee of the Whole (Con- verse in the chair), considered the Consular and Diplomatic Appropriation bill. Mr. Blackburn, of the Appropriation Commit- tee, stated if the bill were not modified and ma- terially amended he could not give it his sup- Port, for in its present shape he considered it a crude bill. Qhere werea number of clauses in the bill, the necessity, advisability, and reason for which he was totally ignorant. He protested he had no blame or responsibility for the bill. The Consular system needed to be revised, enlarged, and encouraged, and he was willing to take tho aggregate amount appropriated by the bill end expend it, every dollar, for: the ex- tension of that system. He _ protested it was neither American nor was {ft republican in its instincts or its teachings to copy the pa- geantry and mimicry of Royalty by seeking to foist upon a foreign Court a tinseled representa- tive of effete practice, thereby serving only to play the role of shoddy, in imitation of mon- archical Governments, which rested for main- tenance not on popular approval or Individual rights, but on arbitrary power and bayonets which ever surrounded the throne of tyranny. MR. WASHBURNE'’S RECORD. Mr. Robeson, in reply to Mr. Blackburn, as« serted that the American diplomatic service had. been as respectable and as successful as any that the civilized world had ever seen, and it had contributed more than the People seemed to realize to the progress of American history and to the safety of American institutions. In all the records of our diplomatic history there is no nobler career written than that which Washburne ful- filled when he was American Minister to the Court of Paris. We all know when the war be- tween Prussia and France broke out the Capital of Imperial France was filled with the élite of European diplomacy. The roll glittered with historic names, and was rich with the blazonry of arms and ot orders. Amid them all the un- pretending name and simple character of the American Minister were not at that time likely to challenge the attention of the thoughtless or proud, but during the year of that war France and Paris became the theatre of scenes which commanded the attention of the world, and tried the qualities of all who were present or had part in them, and when that year was passed ‘ THERE WAS BUT ONE NAME ov all that proud roll which seemed to ve written in letters of living light, and which stood out to challenge the respect and command the admira- tion of the world. He was at once the repre- sentative of the liberal ideas of our Govern- ment and the progress of our people, the repre- sentative of liberty and of luw, of progress and of clvizilation. The forms, traditions, courte- sies, secrets of diplomatic association were swept away amid the wild confusion, but he supplicd arms by ideas, traditions by actions, cournge, until he was made to stand before the nation: amid the wreck of governments and the ruins of society, a8 THE SOLE REPRESENTATIVE OF CHRISTIAN CIV- ILIZATION, while the élite of European diplomacy was dwarted and belittled before the stature (onl, life-sized) of American manhood. (Applause.! Mr. Orth defended the diplomatic and Consui- lar system, which bad met the upproval of the Government under every Administration. Mr. Townshend (I,) thought the necessity for diplomunic service had entirely passed. Fore Hesiaes were asyluins for played-out poe Mr, Monroe instanced the good offices whica Gen. Schenck bad performed when Minister to England from this country. By his frequent conversations with Lord Granville he had suc- ceeded in yaining the contidence of England, and to a great degree aided in having the ques tion of indirect damages brought before the tribunal at Geneva, and there decided in a yery satisfactory manner to the United States Gov~ ernment. ‘The bill was then rend by sections for amend- ment. Mr. MeMillan moved to strike out the clause appropriating $4,000 for Charges d’ Affaires ad interim and diplomatic officers abroad. Pending a vote, the Committee rose and the House adjourned. THE FREEDMEN’S BANK. A NEST OF FRACDS. Spectal Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune, Wasmineton, D. C., March 27.—The story of the swindles perpetrated upon the freedmen is atlast told. The Freedmen’s Bank Investigat- ing Committee, of which Bruce, colored Senator from Mississippi, is Chairman, to-day completed itsreport. The reportis 2 plain statement of fact, free from partisan bius. The purpose of the investigation was to ascertain the causes of . the failure, and to ascertain if a more econom- ical method of management could not be intro- duced. In accounting for the fatlure, the Com- mittee refer it to a misapprehension on the part of the Trustecs of the character and purpses of the avniluble fund, the Committee hold- ing that under the Churter that fund was intended simply to such depositors as might wish to withdraw their deposits, and employés of tho bank. The Trustees construed it to authorize them to set apurt one-third of the deposits for ORDINARY BANKING PURPOSES, and went intoa very extensive discount bust ness. Another cause of the failure is alleged to have been the transfer of the control of the funds and investments thereof from the ‘Trustees to's Finance Coninilttes ‘and ‘to an Actuary.” Under the practical operations of the: institution three of the Finance Committee and sometimes the Actuary alone performed the functions which under the charter could only be performed by at least seven affirmative votes on the part of the Trustees. The Committee suggest as another cause of the failure that the provisions of the charter forbidding any officer or employé, directly or in= directly, to bea beneficiary or borrower pf the bank was repeatedly violated, the officers some- tmes: borrowing, sometimes. negotiating. their. - own paper ostensibly for. others, sometimes act- .. y ing as indorsers, and frequently making -tcans __ to corporations in which they were stockholders, * ANOTHER S¥CTION of the charter provided that the Preaident, View
