Society, alway! eoatacios over the affaires du caur of celebrities, particuiarly those of belles of the period with men of foreign vsnk and title, has revelled tor weeks past over the approaching nuptials of a happy pair whose marriage ceremony takes place at tho Charch of the Epiphany bere on Wednesday next, at 8P.M. The élite of the national capital will bo pres- ent The family history of the public’s idols of a brief hour at its zenith is ever interesting, avd for this Feasop a review of the facts and surroundings of past and present may be acceptable, TUR BRIDE'S PAMILY, ‘The late Hou, Charles Eames was a native of New Braintree, Mass, and educated at Harvard University. He formed there a Iife-long (riendship with Charles Sumner, Hoo. Bosnan Kerr avd other national men. He became prominent as @ lecturer on belles lettres, and eminent as an author of works on international law, which are looked upon as standard authorities, During James K. Volk’s Speakership of the House of Representatives he accompanied George Bancrolt, the historian, to Washington, and associated hiaselt with ““Pather’’ Ritchie, the leading journalist of that day, with his co-laborer, the elder Frauk Blair, in editing the Washington Union, filling the place and playing his | part with distinction, The sou of “Father” Ritchio, is wilt be remembered, was the second husband of tho actress Mrs, Anna Cora Mowatt, née Ogden, who re- lred from the stage on her marriage with Mr. Ritchie, bo the regret of her admirers. So soon as Historian Buncroft became the Secretary of the Navy Mr. Eames was proffered a position in government affairs at Washington, which ho held til promoted toa still higher post at Venezuela, South America, as United Statea Miuister, Pending this de- purture his daughter, the fair bride-elect, Frances Campbell Eames, was born in the bistorie and univer- sally known house of the now Signal Service Bureau, | ou G street, Washington, which was owned by tho family of the grandmother. Mra, Eames, the mother of the young flancée, ia the daughter of tho late Judge James Campbell, Surrogate of New York, in which city her parents dwelt during her childhood, Sho has two sisters, Mrs. Samuel L. Gouverneur and Mme. la Baronne Gau, wile of the secretary of a former Prussian legation. Mr. Gouver- eur 1s of the noted fa,nily of that uame of New York's old Knickerbocker descent, and kindred of the Ogdens, for whom the city of Ogdensburg was named, The tamily orest was an oak tree beside a lion’s den, from whieh the name—originally Oakden—is corrapted, or moditied, into Ogden. Mr. Samuel Ogden, the auditor of New York cusioms lor wany years, is the nephew. The silver plute of Mr. Samuel Ogden, the founaer of Ogdensburg, was considered to have been among the | richest and most beautiful of any of the old stock of the New York families and the largest in quantity. SOCIAL REMINISCENCRS, Mr. and Mra, Eames returned from South America in 1866 or 1866. While erecting their present handsome @ansion on the corner of H and Fourteenth strects, they occupied a modem brick cottage on Fourteenth street, between F and G streets, adjoining the Scotch florist's greenhouse whose gardener was the central figure of a little White House gossip fo Mra Lincolu’s time—a harmiess episode com- paring with Queen Victoria's and her attendant John Brown’s, which #0 alarmed the aristocratic British etiquette, and aroused tue commonalty io ap expression of opinion, In this modest house like many another occupied by queens of soviety and of Luropeun tame, in the decade before the then customary to ignore the exterior shell real gist of enjoyment; the kere! from which wocveded the feast of reason and flow of soul), Mra, James entertained every Sunday night.

CONTINUATION OF THE INVESTIGATION BY THE SENATS COMMITTEE OF THE CHARGES AGAINST BANK SUPERINTENDENT ELLIS. The Senate Committee on Banks met yesterday morning at the St Nicholas Hotel, Senator Coleman in the chair, to resume their investigation of the charges of culpable negligence preferred against Bank Super- intendent Ellis in reference to the affairs of the Me- chanics and Traders’ Savings Bank. Tho examination wus long and tedious, uo very startling developments having been drawn from the witnesses’ testimony. The most important testimony elicited was that of Mr. jellamy, counsel for Messrs, Floyd & Gregory, who in 1874, on their request, presented a complaint to the Bank Superintendent and demanded that the bank be closed in the interest of the depositors. The examina- tion will be continued to-day. The taking of testimony did not begin till abont balf-past eleven. THR EXAMINATION. The first witness called was Mr. J. M. Jackson, of Brooklyn, # real catate expert connected with the Lorillard estate. He bad in 1874 appraised the bank building at $50,000; three weeks ago he valued the building at $30,000; there was very little real estate sold in its neighborbeod; witness didn’t know very much about the value of property in the neighborhood, not being interested in the property there; real estate values began to decline in 1874; they had gone down very materially, from forty to fitty per cent; there were but fow sales of real estate except those made under foreciosure or mortgage. Mr. Frederick P. Bellamy, counsellor-at-law, of Brooklyn, was next called. In September, 1874, he was retained by William Floyd and Ira Gregory, trus- tees of the bank, to look into its affairs and to take steps for the protection of the trustees and depositors; they brought him a statement parporting to show that the bank was largely Insolvent; witness prepared a summons and complaint against Mr, Ellis, This paper was offered in evidence, The most important item it contains reads as follows:— The following table correctly statos the items incor- rectly stated in schedule G :— Eecea of Bacess of Cost Over Mar. — Market Value ket Value. ver Cost. Stocks of other States,. $249,439 25 Stoo! of gounties, cities and towns... - $11,902 50 Real estate.....-..-006 = 9,092 25 Total...... ++ Total depreciation. Witness saw Mr. Eilisin bis office in Albany; told the latter that be had come at the request of two of his clients in reference to the affuirs of the Mechanics and Traders’ Savings Institution; showed bim the paper showing the bank to be insolvent from $180,000 to $200,000; said that his clients thought the bunk should be closed up; the complaint was compared with the report of the bank examin called the Superintendent’s attention speciaily to the Southern securities; Mr. Ellis said he did not approve of the bank being put into the bands of a receiver, but he would come to New York to examino the matter; ho went down with witness to New York the samo day ‘the latter had the interview with him, On cross-examination Mr, Bellamy said chat ho had presented the papers to Mr. Fairchild at the Attorney General’s office; Mr. Fatrobild said he had every con- idence in ‘Mr, Ellis, aud that uoy action In regard to the bunk should come through Mr, Kilis drst; the next day witness saw Mr, Ellis, The summons und com- laint in the action were drawn up, with # view to Raving the Attorney General proceed in the matter, but the latter would not act on those papers. The main poiots of difference between the complaint and the directors’ report were the values put on the South- ern securities, In the reports of the bank they were placed at 4 much bigher tigure, Mr. McKeon next gifered in evidence part of section 6 of the act of incorporation of the Mechanics and ‘Traders’ Savings Institution. It gtated that moneys might be received on deposit “tor the purpose of being invested ia government securities or any public s\ock created under aud by virtue of any law of the United Btates or of this State, or in any stocks or bonds $20,994 75 +++ +$228,444 50 of any city, authorized to be issued by tho Légisiature vi this State” Mr McKeon claimed that this section restricted the bank from going outsive of New York Stale tor its securi- ties, except in the case of goverument bonds. He aiso offered im evidence the act of April 15, 1853, which bad been repealed Muy 17, 1876, This wet permitted tho buying of tho bonds of any State, provided that at the tome of such investments the stuck or securities wero at or above par value. A long: discussion ensued tween Mr. Chapman and Mr. McKeon as to the admis- sibility of these documents ag evidence. © Mr. McKeon urged’ that they were public acts, After some ueliber- ation the commitiee decided to receive such paris of the acts ay related to the case, VALUES OF SOUTHERN STOCKS, Mr. John B, Manning, a banker aud broker, was next called us an expert to give the value of tho bouds heid vy the on Uctober 7, 1874, Ot South Caro- liua boads there were three clusses, the old South Caro- \twas, the January aud July and the non-fundable bonus. On Uctober 2, , the old bonus wero quoted ut 20, tho January und July at 17 und the nvo tundable at6, On Vctober 7 these prices were 24, 17% ana 6% respectively. Of North Carolinas tuero were thirteen Kinds, ‘five of which kids were held by the bank, Of those held by the vank tne ante-war bonds were quoted at 20}, the North Caro. lina Railroad bopds ut 42, the 1854 42, the "63's at 14 and the new bonds at 123g. Of the kind of Aia- bama bonds held vy the bank witness had never seen but one recorded gale, that was at 96, sbortly after their issue. In October 1874, there was no sale for them ; witness did not bejeve they would bring ten cents on the doll The Tennessee bonds held vy the bank were quote 54, Witness took his quotations from the registered stuck list issued by the New York Stock Exchange, which was betore him and copies ot which be Lad preserved in bis oilice. REAL MSTATE VALUKS. Mr. John F, James, real estate agent, of Brooklyn, was called ag ap expert to deiermine the value of thé bonk’s real estute, situated at Nos 30 and 32 President strcet, Brooklyn. 3U, the corner piece, was worth about $14,009, other, ut No. 32, ‘was worth about $5,000; the cost of those buildings was much wore; the bank building must have cost at least $20,000 ; witness differed fiom Mr, Jackson's esti- mate; te thought that the depreciation in real estate ; the depreciation had been tuliy 33 per cent. Mr. Chapman on cross-exam- ination put some questions trymg to show that the vstimutes of the vulue of the buiidiug were merely inatvers of opinion, Mr. William J, Best was again called to the witness chair. The question rst asked vy Mr. McKeon was, “Can you stale whut Was the condition of the bitnk when zee became receiver?” and the vext, “What was the deticieucy ut the time you were made re- ceiver?” Mr. Chapman at once vujected aud w Jong argument was entered ito Letweeu counsel. Mr. McKeon urged that be had a rignt to show the disusirous cousequences of Mr, Eilis’ uegieet, while Mr. Chapman said (hat the 1quiry sould be re- stricted merely tu the question Whether there was auy hegiect between the Hae when Mr. Bilis made the first exuinimation aud the ime when he Lauded the matter over ty the Attorney General The commities decided that the question Was wadinissibie. Tbe exaunimation was then coutinued, Mr, Best suid that there were Were about 3,800 depositors in the institution, he bud uid BIXty-liVe per cent of the deposits and bad assets Jef 1 his bauds still. These assets cou.sisted of bonds gud mortgages in process of foreciosure, ubout $60,000; of real estate (bunk building, No, 227 Base Foriy-tith street, No. 30 President street, Brooklyn, und No, 32 President sirect, Brooklyn)--tour picecs, all they had in 1874; of Vonus, Aiabamas, $160,000; North Carolina, $143,600; all the Tennessee Louds nad been fold; the rest of the assets were ollice fixtures und about $2,000 in cus, Mr. Davicl A, sloran was the next witness. He testitied ag foliowy:—Am a broker vy trade; the list Of stocks presented im evidence ius ullixed to it their toarket values; this Was generally the bidding price; the difference between the buymg and selling price Tanges from one to tive per cent. Mr. Wilham J. Best was again called. rectad to look at @ minute Of the meeting Of directors, April 18, 1874. Mr, Chapman objected. “suppose,” suid he, ‘that there should be a paper put away in one of the pigeon holes showing the hopeless insol- Vency of the bank, is the Bunk Superinteudeut biamne- able it be should pot dod that paper?’ Mr. McKeon Oilered the minutes in evidence. Mr, Chupman made A proposition that himself aud Mr. McKvou shoula be aliowed to examine all the minutes of the bank and takes notes of what they wanted, having them read at Some other time, This was agreed to. Mr. Cbapman then suggested that us Mr. Klis? witnesses were not Teady ab adjournment would be necessary. 1t was alsy provable that the charges of neglect in regard to the other ten vanks, would be relerred to the same committee.

AN INTERESTING COMMUNICATION ON THE AMOUNT O¥ MONEY COLLECTED AND WHAT DISPOLITION I8 MADE OF IT, To tax Epiron ov THe HeRaLD:— Charity 18 a noble virtue, but the essence of its merit 18 that jt 1s voluntary. Compulsory charity may be advocated for the suke of the social order which It protects or promotes, but it cannot be defended or maintained on the idea that it 1@ 1 any sense an exer- cise of the virtue of charity, nor are criticisms of its workings to be resented as indicating boswiity to voluntary charity however profuse, ‘Tnere ts an immense amount of money raised by taxation tn this city lor a groat variety of charitable purposes, and the amount av raised is increasing, and threatena to continue to increase every your. For tho year 1877 the sum of $970,000 is to ve collected from the taxpayers of this city and distributed among various private charitable associations, In addition to this amount the sum of $350,000, beiug the proceeds of the Excise tund, 13, as the law stunds to-day, to be distributed by way of gratuity to similar associations, aud finally there 18 to be raised for the use of the Pub- lic Department of Churities aud Correvtion the sum of $1,200,000, The aggregato to be raised for tho relicf aud support of tne poor oxcevds $2,000,000, Ot we $970,000 first mentioned $250,000 are for the Catholic Protectory, $240,000 for the Foundling Asy- lua at Eighty-tiret street, and $106,000 tor the Chil- drvo’s Nursery, to Filty-ret atreet, ‘The remainder 18 divided among 4 long list of private associatious, Each ove of these associations has at different inca within the past ten years procured the pussage of an act uf the Legislature directing the payment to the association of a certain amount per capita tor each child or person maintatmed iu tho association. The payments at first are tor a moderate number, but the humbers increase inexorably evory year. Theoity now supports over two thousand children at the Protec. tory, a like number at the Foundling Asyium, over one thousand at tbe Nursery, and about two thousand more at ofber institutions, 1m all at least seveu shou- wand chiluren, ow, this 18 a ljarge tamily to sup- port, and as it appears to be growing rapidly every year it js certainly time tousk ourselves whether the expenditure of 80 mucu money lor these purposes is juaigious, There are several particulars ty which the jaws relating to these associations ought certainly to be amended. 1m the first place there 1s no provision in any of the laws by which it can be satistactorily as- certained that the children in any of these inatitutions are children whose support ought, under any cireun- ances, be chargeavie to this city. With a littie man- ugewent children trom any part of the State, and from any of the adjoining States, can be got into these different institutions, and immediately become active factors tn increasing the amount of our anousl taxes lo the next place (here is no provision liming the period during which the city can be made to con- inivute for the support of a child once admitted. It is evidently utterly wrong to leave children who have parents or counexions, who ought ta be chargeable with their support, to remain tor an Indotinite period of years at the charge of the city. In respect to the foundiings, a very large number can be disposed of vy uduplion, upd it is manifestly injudicious to put the entire burden of their support lor an indelinite period on the city. There seems, algo, tv be no limit to the number of institutions that succeed in getting bills passed to provide junds for their waiptenaace. During thie very session, in the face of the prevail- ing demand for retrenchment, two bille of this charac- ter have alteady become laws—one relating to the In- fant Asylum, one to the Foundling Asylum, and a third ono for the benefit of the Women's lo- firmary 18 stil pending, lt is pot relevant to the question of the propricty of these laws to say that the objects are commendable, The city cannot affurd to support theso imstitutions simply because their purposes are praiseworthy. lu this connection J desire to call public attention tou bill now pending relating to this subject and to aayo- cate ite passage. | refer to Assembly vill No, 317, By {ts provisions all per capita allowances are Uxed at tho untiorm figure of $2 per week. This may not in all causes be suflictent to pay the entire expenses of the istituuon, but those which can do nothing toward supporting themselves ought not ‘to be muintained. ‘The bill algo transicrs the excise fund from the field of gratuitous distribation into the body of the tunds Taiwed by taxation, where i. prover belongs. It also limits the period during which any private institation miuy charge a per capita allowance against the city to three yeurs, aud requires returns under oath of the persona for whose account per capila charges aro made, The bill 13 a step in the right direction, snd I hope 16 will pass.
