Dr. Purvis as introduced and stated that he wae present in obedience to a —< sent to | all the Se = ees pag He spoke of the estal ment e = poo bank asa necessity arising out of the late and said that at the present time ithad 70,000 deposttorsin all its branches and at one time its deposite aggregated four million dol- jars. This, he said, was too tempting for the greedy rapacity of the American financier and as formed which was deziz- nated as the france committee, the members of which soon cooked it up. A voice.—Who composed the finance com- mittee’ Dr. Purvis.—Mesers. Huntington and Cooke. The commissioner continuing, said that the statement heretofore published and signed ofi- cially by all the commissioners, would be about the Statement of the condition of the affairs of the bavk he would, make to-night, but certain subsequent information received concerning the assets changed its character at the presont time somewhat. The amount of liabllities ag- gregate $ 898.22; aseets, $2.680,753.23. The commissioners have paid off all the bank's in- debtednese, such as pledged securities, which were taken out of the ik to raise money when the several runs were made on the insti- tution. If the commissioners could realize all that is presented on the face of the assets, they conid divide 96 per cent., but they could not owing to the character of the same, the larger portion being trust deeds on property, which sre not now availble. Of trust deed loans on property the bank has $1,301,928.53, Mr, Parvis said be had asked the actuary what he thought would be the loss upon overestimating property, e to which be replied abent $20,000, bat he (Pa vis) thought it would be aboat’ $40,000. T loans op personal securities amount to $317, A large amount of this was loaus on coliatera’ thet are not worth the paper they ere writien on. “I don’t like to mention names, and though I would like to allude to some I think it pru- dent not to.” A Voice.—Let's have them. Mr. Purvis.—No, no; I can’t speak ont. Not that I am fettered, for Ifear 10 man. Ths loans to the Seneca Stone company were made upon fecurities of no value. I asked Mr. Alvord about some of the securities, and he said he was blinded; that there was treachery in the camp. The loans made to this company for $70,000 are secured by second§ mortgage bonds, upon which there is a first mortgage of £100,000 outstand- ing. Nothing will be lost onthe bank’s real estate in this city, which is estimated at $i44,- (35. The furniture, safes, <c., of the bank ate estimated to be worth at forced sale $19,; ‘oO loss is anticipated on securities of the ‘District of Columbia held iy the bank,which aggregate ei The bank holds of North Pacitic bonds *45,19. They are the bonds of Mr. Jay Cooke, the pions money-changer, who thought he cond boild a great railroad by his own energy and enterprise, even if Uncle Sam had to be robbed of fifty-seven million through a credit mobilicr to contract s similar enterprise. You may con- gratulate yourselves that you have not any large quantity of North Pacific bonds. I don't think they are worth anything. In United States Treasury bonds there was only $400 left. It the deposits had all been Invested in theee seen ties the depositors could all be paid in gold, and there would be no trouble. There was a claim Of $1,094 57 against the firm of Jay Cooke & Co.,from which # small per centum would doubtless be received when that bank declared A dividend. The sum of $75,000 was loaned on the mort- age bends of the Maryland Freestone company. he loans of the several branches amounted to the enormous sum of $310,611.57, one-half of which will be lost. The great bulkof the money was tied up. The class of persons who came to the bank the most anxious were those who have borrowed small sums of money upon their prop- erty, worth five or six times the amount loaned; their notes were due, and they could not pay the principal, aud they did not desire to fure- close and sell the propérty, for not only the rea- son that property was low, but, in addition, to save the property to the borrower, who prompt!y paid the interest and had promised very soon to pay the principal. The Donger the matter was delayed the more money the depositors would get. After the close of the present month they would not have a single cashier or any of this horde of dependents to pay, whosg expenses required the sum of $10,000 per month. n conclusion he urged these present to bear with the commissioners, who were ever watch- ful of the interest of the depositors, and not to allow their fears to so infiuence them as to cause them tosell their bank books at a discount. RESOLUTIONS WERE ADOPTED expressing confidence in the commlasioners but condemning “the men who, in their official connection with the Freedmen’s bank, pro themselves recreant to their trust by defra ing the depositors of their hard-earned saving: by which the bank has become embarrassod.” error tmencb masses ELECTION OF OPFICEeRs BY THE SOHURTZ&N VruiENs.—The Washington Schuetzen Verein, yerierday, elected the following officers for the ensuing year: President, John L.

Savep From a Officers Ot «© 4L&® Srep.—On Saturday enry and Reardon, on duty at the Ohio railroad depot, interfered for the protection of a young girl of respectable family who was about to make a trip to Balti- wore with a young man named E. Peck. Peck appeared partially intoxicated, and the actions of the girl indicated that she accompanied him with some misgivings. The officers therefore made inquiry of her and ascertained that Peck had induced ber to accompany him to Baltimor. saying that they would return in the evening. When informed by the officers that the trip might terminate in her downfall, and that Peck was not in a condition to appreciate @ respec le lady's company, and using the more pow- erful argument that they should acquaint her parents with the fact of her going, she immedi- ately changed her mind and resolved to retarn home. Peck was abusive of the officers and wrote a letter of complaint to Major Richards, butthe latter held that they had only done their duty. Frre.—About 6 o'clock last night an alarm of fre was turned in from box “7, (corner of 7th and M streets,) for fire discovered in the bow window of Bogan & Wylie’s dry goods store, on ith street, pear New York avenue. Loss about $300; ineured. It is to be hoped that hereafter police ¢ficers turning im an slarm will etay at the box to direct the fire companies as they ar- rive as to the exact locality of the fire, or sta- tion some one for that purpose, as serions re- sults are likely to happen by neglecting to do so. In this case the tirst company to arrive at the box could not find the fre, and atter “sig- naling in” and getting an answer that they had gone to the box turned in, they returned home under the impression that another false alarm had called them ont.
