THK FREED MAN'S SAVINGS BASK.
A recent article in the Republican
shnwiug our need for a national bauk
has stirred up the righteous wratn or
the Reverend Sperry, inspector, etc.,
of the Freedman's Savings bank. Wis
fimusing card begins hy denying that
accommodations to business men are
refused by the bank, and in his next
paragraph he asserts that no more
money can be loaned in Beaufort. We
did not go out of our Way to attack the
present or past management of the
bank, cither here or elsewhere. We
stated what is true in regard toil, that
it is now of very little U3C to the business
community and that no assistance
can be expected from it toward bandling
our crops, or conducting our lumber,
phosphate, railroad aud commission
business this fall. Mr. Sperry admits
all that we asserted ou this point.
He wonders that we have not before
discovered something rotten in the
management. We reply that from the
time it passed under the control of Alvord
and b:s satelitcs, we have distrusted
it. Nor arc we tjie only once.
Started at a time when an} tiling lor
the aid of the frcedman enlisted the I
sympathy of good men, this institution J
drew, to it many of them. Where are
they now? Contrast the list of directors
and trustees now serving, with
those who originally held these places.

their names, disgusted and alarmed
at the character of the men who, by
pandering to tho vanity of colored men
and alliances with (-peculating phiianthroflrets
have usurped its management.
Cougi ess at its last session discovered
something rotten in its management,
and ordered an investigation, at the
same tirno passing an act forbidding
the use of the word "national" in connection
with its title. For rcfjiiULrio

of the results of'ihat investigation, the
Reverend Sperry withdrew his advertisement

Hark the fact that $1,794,478 of cap- (j
itai is here shown to have been with- f0
drawn from the South, where it is J
the one thing needful to our prosper!- ^
ly, to be loaned on Washington real
estate. Besides that it will be be seen ^
.that $470,053 is loaned ou a variety of tl
doubtful securities, among them was ].
$50,000 on the furniture of a Washing- f<ton
hotel, large sums were lent on bills
' e i;<
against the Board of Public Work? of n

w I)f
Bill Tweed's Tammany ring of New j;1

travagant expenditures; $85,000 was
borrowed to buy thirty acres of land Ti
near the Howard university for a real
estate speculation in which all the j'
" prayerful " were to ebare ibc profits {\
hut in which the bank was to take the l'
a
risks. 3'
"While these things were going on '
money had to be borrowed to pay in- <n
terest to depositors, and the only good *
securities owucJ by the bank, $100,000 cs
of government bauds, were pledged to
another bank iu order to get money to j<
meet the demands of thoso justly j".'
alarmed at its condition. If the loan a
has beeu paid and tho bouds recovered ?!
it lias been very recently. R
We uo not pretend to set up the R
Beaufort Branch as a model of sueccs- B
i'ul management, but vrc will wager ;;
that its loans are better than those of r.
i:
the parent bank and thattbo monej* of !:
our local depositors would be safer if it
had 110 connection with the so-called
Cf
"National" concern at \\ irshingtou. t|
It may as well be here stated that $
there is uo government aceurlty for
depositors in the bank, that there are
no stoekjmldc^__iha?ii i*a-a- ?t?t one {,
Hollar of capital, that there is absolute- ''
'y no other security than the judicious
management of the money of its cus ;
la
toiuers. This is fully appreciated by r,
the government and the officials here 1,1
were forbid to deposit public funds in it.
The personal reference In the Reverend
Sperry's card the v,Viler cannot
reply to. Gratitude so swells within 0'
him when he thinks of borrowing
money from a bank at rates running lj
from one and half to three per cent a j .,]
month that words fail him to cxpre-s it.
The introduction of gratitude aud its ,
kindred virtues, faith, hope aud churl- ' *
ty, iuto the business transactions of a xv
bank wo believed to be peculiar to the w
pious managers of Howard's institu- -p
tion. The proper place to run such a h!
celestial concern is in the New Jerusa- j,J
lem. it is too sublimated for this al
world. With its apostolic president, p
its angelic cashiers, its cherubic inspec- t!
tors, it3 devout depositors and its
"grateful " customers, a system such

We have never praised the former \
ufliccrs of the Beaufort Branch or "
)ij
found fault with tbo present incutubents.
We believe that Mr. cicovd ni
was a hard worked servant of the bank, ),!
and that his errors, if any, were those '
of judgment, not intent. In Mr. Lock- j ^
wood we recogoizo au upright, capaand
polite gentlemen. Is'or have
we directly or indirectly alluded to t!
Luc ilcvcrend Spcrry until now. iijn
assumption of e-itluU applied to
Howard and his missionaries is purely |J
gratuitous. As the* cap seems to please vr
him, however, we are content that lie

on th? regular :im>ropr.:ation3 el" this

mid last year. It does not include auy- w
thing for not bona fide pay certificates

U'c predict that the next tax levy ,
11 be double the la3t one, and that '
e assessment now going on will be <> i
l&nged as greatly to increase the '
xable value of the property of the ,
vie. We Bhall be surprised if one- '
ird is not added to the present list of

luted is at least 8:1,000,000 and they

A correspondent of the Char'cston

irdozo. In explanation of the pr. sunt
plction of the treasury he makes tlie
(lowing remarks:
[t is very easy tu account for the want of
onev in the treasury, for, to speak in
ritn?( numbers, I am called upon to pay
tun) of claims against the ?Stato
itli but a little over half thai amount in
ie treasury to do it with. Here, said
ic treasurer, handing me a paper, are
ie itemized appropriations for the curnit
fiscal year. The paj or reads as

A SOTHKIMWd STEAL.
Correspondent. What has lie done
villi the bonds purchased on account of ]
he sinkingfand, tlie urirriculturnJ college. (
vrip, and the six hundred thousand dolars
of the b5nds of the I'luc Kid&eJRail- l
road, which he held for the ?Stnte'(
Curdozo. My information is that every
me ? ! tiiOin was hypothecated for loans ,
in.-ylo in I'nrker's term, and the wliole of )
the on : hundred and niuety-ono thousand
dollars in the liunls of the State, in
which the nrgrienllural land scrip, or
rather the proceeds from the sale of it, 1
was invested, together with the two '
hundred thousand dollars of hoods purchased
with the proceeds of the sales of
the assets of the State l>y the sinking 1
fund commissioners arc a total loss to
the State, unless the oflhtials who illejnly
disposed of them can by held personally
responsible.
Here is more work for the Attorney
General.. This is no democratic sore*
headed Bourbon talking loosely about a
hateful radical, but a colored republican,
state treasurer stating what he officially
knows. Here is an enormous loss to the
state. If the moneycannot be recoveredearmot
the responsibility be fixed upon
some one. The administration must
luoc't this demand or be held equally
guilty with the men who so defrauded
the state.
Jt-.o'i M r. Cardozo says he paid ?400,
000 of printing claims of this year out of
the lands collected for deficiencies, thus
deferring for another year the same
amount of the real deficiency claims.
He says it is all the same to the state.
That it is only robbing Peter to pay Paul.
A first-rate filing for Paul, but how does
Peter like it. This is just where it becomes
evident how good a thing it is to
bo a treasurer. The printing claims
thus unjustly preferred, if not illegally,
by Mr. Cardozo, were selling last year
for twenty cents on the dollar. We know
where ?'.10,000 on them were put up to
secure lc.%s than ?20,000, and were forfeited
by the borrower. Lust winter they
were paid in full.
Pleased.
