Bosnan Kerr and other national men. He became prominent as a lecturer on belles lettres, and emiment 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 be accompanied George Bancroft, the | historian, to Washington, and associated himself with “Father” Ritchie, the teading journalist of that day, with bis co-laborer, the elder Frauk Blair, in editing the Washiagton Union, filling the place and playing his part with distinction, is wilt be remembered, was the second busband of tho actress Mrs, Anna Cora Mowatt, née Ogden, tired from the stage on ber marriage with Mr. Ritchie, to the regret of her admirers. So soon as Historian Bancroft became the Secretary of the Navy Mr. Eames was proffered a position in government affairs at Washington, which he held til promoted to a still higher post ut Venezuela, south America, aa United States Miuister. Pending this de- parture his daughter, the fair bride-elect, Frances Campbell Hames, was born in the bistorie and univer- sally known house of the now Signal Service Bureau, on G street, Washington, which was owned by tho family of the grandmother. Mrs, Eames, the mother of the young flancée, is the daughter of the late Judge James Campbell, Surrogate of New York, in which city her parents dwelt during her childhood. She has two sisters, Mrs. Samuel L. Gouverneur and Mme. la Baronne Gau, wile of the secretary of a former Prussian legation, Mr. Gouver- nour 1s of the noted fasnily of that uame of New York's old Kniekerbocker descent, and kindred of the Ogdeus, for whom the city of Ogdensburg was named. The family orest was an oak tree beside a lion’s den, from whieh the name—originally Oakden—is corrupted, or moditled, into Ogven. Mr. Samuel Ogden, the auditor of New York customs tor wany years, is the nephew. The silver plate 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 REMINISCENCES, Mr, and Mra, Eames returned from South America in 1865 or 1866. While erecting their present handsome mansion on the corner of H and Fourteenth strects, they occupied a modest brick cottage un Fourteenth street, between F and G streets, adjoining the Scotch florist's greenhouso whose gardener was the central figure of a little Wuite House gossip io Mra Lincolu’s time—a harmiess episode paring with Queen Victoria’s and her attendant John Brown’s, which so alarmed the aristocratic Briush etiquette, and aroused the commonalty to un expression of opinion, Iu this modest house like many another occupied by queens of society and diplofuuts of Muropeun late, in the decade before the | War (it Was then customary to ignore the exterior shell for the real gist of enjoyment; the kerne! from which rocveded the feast of reason and flow of soul), Mrs, Hames entertained every Sunday might.

The Senate Committee on Banks met yesterday morning at the St Nicholas Hotel, Senator Coleman in the chair, to resume their investigation of the cha:ges: of culpable negligence preferred against Bank Super- intendent Ellis in reference to the affairs of the Me- chanics and Traders’ Savings Bank. The examination was long and tedious, no very startling developments having been drawn trom the witnesses’ testimony. The most important testimony elicited was that of Mr. Bellamy, 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 hot begin till about half-past eleven. THR EXAMINATION. ‘The first witness called was Mr, J. M. Jackson, of Brooklyn, @ real estate expert connected with the Lorillard estate. He bad tn 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 itg neigbborheod; witness didn’t know very much about the value of property in the neighborhood, not being interested in the property near there; real estate values began to decline in 1874; they bad gone down very materially, from forty to filty par cent; there were but few sales of real estate except those made under foreclosure 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 stops for the protection of the trustees and depositors; they brought him a statement purporting 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 a8 follows :— The following table correctly states the items incor- rectly stated in schedule G :— Eacess A Excess of Cost Over Mar- Murket Value ket Value, ‘Vver Cost. Stocks of other States, , $249,439 25 Stocks of counties, cities and towns. = $11,903 50 Real estate, - 9,092 25 Total . $20,994 75 Total depreciation ory fs eeeeee ss $228,444 50 Witness saw air. Ellisin bis office in Albany; told tho latter that he had come at the request of two of his clients in reference to the atfuirs of the Mechanics and Traders’ Savings Institution; showed bim the paper showing the bank to be insolvent trom $180,000 vo $200,000; said that his clients thought the bank should be closed up; the complaint was compared with the report of the bank examiner; 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-examinution Mr, Bellamy said chat ho had presented the papers to Mr. Fairebild at the Attorney General’s office; Mr. Fairchild said he had evory con- Udence in -Mr, Ell ud that way action tn regard to the bunk should come through Mr, Kilis drst; the uext duy witness saw Mr. Eilts, The summons und com- jaint in the action were drawn up, with a view to Feving the Attorney Gencral procesd’ ip the matter, but the latter would not act on those papers. The main points 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 uigher igure, Mr. McKeon next gifered in evidence part of section 6 of the act of incorporation of the Mechanics and ‘Traders’ Savings Institution. It stated that moneys might be received on deposit “or the purpose of being invested 14 government securities or any public syock Greuted under aud by virtue of any law of the United States or of this State, or in any stocks or bonds of any city, authorized to be issued by the Légisiature of wis State” Mr McKeon claimed that this section restricted the bank from going outsiae of New York State tor tts securi- ties, except in the case of goverument bonds, He also offered in 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 time of such invertments the stuck or securities wero at or ubuve par value. A long discussion ensued be- tween Mr. Chapman and M cKeon as to the admis- sibility of these documents as evidence. Mr. McKeon urged that they Were public acts, After some deliber- ation the commitice, decided to receive such parts of the acts ay related to the case. VALUKS OF SOUTHERN ATOCKS, Mr. John B, Manning, a banker aud broker, was next culled as an expert to give the value of the bonds heid vy the bank on Uctober 7, 1874. Of South Caro- lina bouds there were three classes, the old South Caro- liuas, (he January and July and the non-fuudable bonis, Un Usctober 2, 1874, the old vonus wero quoted ut 20, the January und July at 17 und the nya fundable atG On Ociober 7 these prices were 2: 17% ana 6% respectively. Of North Carolinas tuere were thirteen kinds, five of which kinas were held by the bank, Of those held by the bank the ante-war bonds were quoted at 20';, the Nortu Caro- lina Railroad bopds at 42, the 1864’s at the "69's at 14 and the new bonds at 1234. Of the kind of Aia- bama bonds held vy the bank witness had never seen but one recorded sale, that was at 96, shortly alter their issue. In October 1874, there was no sale jor them; witness did not be.ieve they would bring ton cenis on the dollar, The Tennessee bonds held vy the bank were quoted at 54, Witness took his quotations from the registered stuck list issued by the New York Stock Exchange, which wag betore him and copies of which be Lad preserved in bis oilice. RRAL MBTATE VALURS. Mr. John F, James, real estate agent, of Brooklyn, was called a8 ap expert to determine the value of the bonk’s real estute, situated at Nos 30 aud 32 President street, Brooklyn, No. 30, the corner piece, was worth about $14,000, and the other, ut No. 82, was worth about $5,000; the cost of those buildings was much more; the bank building must have c $30,000 ; witness differed fiom Mr, mute; be thought that the depreciation in real bad bequa tar bagk as 1872 ; the depreciation had been fully 33 per cent. Mr. Chapman on cross-exam- ination put some questions trymg to show that the vstimates of the vulue of the building were merely mutters of opiuion. Mr. Willlum J, Best was again called to the witness chair, The question Urst asked vy Mr. MoKeon was, “Cun you state what was tue condition of the bink when you became receiver?” and the ext, “What Chapman at vance —_vujected aud u long argument was entered 1uto between counsel. Mr, McKeon urged that he had a rignt to show the disastrous couseqaences of Mr, Eis? uegiect, While Mr, Chapman said that the 1aquiry should be re- stricted merely tu the question whether there was any hegivet between Lhe Hine when Mr. Eilis made the first exuiination and the Gime When he bauded the inatier over ty the Attorney General. The commitiee decided that the question Was ivadmissible, ‘The examiwation was then continued, Mr, Bese said that there were Were about 3,800 depositors in the stitution, be bud aid SIXty-fiVe per cent of Lhe deposits and bad assets jeft in his bauds still, These assets sted of bonds tyayes in process ut of real estate (bank buildiy Forty-tith street, No. 30 President street, Brooklya, und No, 34 President sirect, Brooklyn)--four pieces, all they bad in 1874; Of Vous, Alabamus, $166,000; North Carolina, $113,000; ail the Tennessee bonds nad been wuld; the rest of the assets were oflice fixtures and about $2,000 in cush.

AN INTERESTING COMMUNICATION ON THE AMOUNT O¥ MONEY COLLEOTED AND WHAT DISPOSITION 18 MADE OF 17, To trax Epiron ov tus Heratp;— Charity 18 @ noble virtue, but the essence of its merit 18 that it 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 ig in any sense an exer- cise of the virtue of charity, nor are criticisms of its workings to be resented as indicating hosulity to voluntary charity however profuse, focre {8 ap immense amount of moncy raised by taxation ip this city lor a great variety of charitable Purposes, and the amount go raised is increasing, and threatens to continue to increase every yeur. Forthe yeur 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, 1s, as the law stands 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 and Correction the sum of $1,200,000, ‘The aggregato to be raisod for the relict aud support of (ne poor oxceeds $2,600,000 Ot the $970,000 first mentioned $250,000 are for the Catholic Protectory, $240,000 for the Foundling As; lum at Eighty-tiret street, and $106,000 for the Cbil- dren's Nursery, to Filty-lret street, ‘The remainder ig divided among 4 long list of private associations, Kuch ove of these associations has at differeot mes within the past ten yoars procured the pussage of an act uf the Legislature directing the payment to the association of a certain amount per capa tor each child or person maintained iu tho assuciation. The payments at first are tor & moderate namber, but the humbers increase imoxorably every year. Theotty now gupports over two thousand children at the Protec. tory, u like number at the Foundling Asyium, over one thousand at the Nursery, and about two thousand more at ofher iustitations, 1m all at least seven shou- wand chiluren, Now, this is a large tamily to sup- and ag it appears to be growing rapidly every ‘ear it js Certainly time tousk ourselves whether thi expenditure of 80 mucu money lor these purposes is juuicious, There are several particulurs ty which the laws relating to these associations ought certainly to be amended. in the tirat place there is bo provision in apy of tho laws by which it can bo satistuctorily as- certained that the children in any of these institutions are children whose support ougiit, under any circuin- ces, be chargeavie to this city. With a littie man- ugement children trom any part of the State, and frow uny of the adjoining States, can be got into these different ingututions, and immediately become active factors in increasing the amount of our anoual taxes lo the next place juere is Ho provision limiting the period during which the city can be made to con- inivute for the support of a child once admitted. It is evidently utterly wroug to leave children who have parents or counexions, Who ought ta be chargeable with their support, to remain tor an Indefinite period of years at the charge of the city. In respect to the jouadiings, @ very large number can be disposed of vy udvption, und it is manifestly injadicious to pus tho entire burden of their support for au indefinite period on the city, There seems, algo, to be no limit to the that succeed in getting bills e.
