The Committee on Foreign Affairs
has agreed to report adversely on the
resolution looking to a public recep
tion of Dom Pedro.
Davenport's testimony goes to show
that he commenced his system of reg
istration under the auspices of the
Union League. He had spent $10,000,
and was impoverishing himself, when
he saw Grant at Long Branch, who
said he would recommend the matter
to Attorney General Williams. He
received in all, $34,000, a part through
Akerman and a part through Williams.
He never considered that there was
any corruption in the matter. The
witness prepared a number of affidavits
in relation to the frauds for which he
was paid as any other United States
Commissioner. In 1872, witness issued
1200 warrants. . The committee ad

Boutwell hopes to leave with his

House. The House took up the bilj
reported by Douglass, of Virginiar
Chairman of the Committee on the
Freed man's Bank, to amend the char
ter of that institution. Douglass said
he did not care to address the House
now, but would yield to his colleague,
Bradford, of Alabama, who desired to
offer some amendments to the bill.
Bradford offered a substitute for the
3d section. The substitute requires
the Secretary cf the Treasury to ap
point a good and competent man to
take charge of and wind up the affairs
of the bank. Tne Secretary is to re
quire a general supervision of the
Commissioner. It .differs from the
bill of tbe committee in this respect :
That the latter only provides for the
appointment of a single Commissioner
in case of the death or resignation of
each of the present three Commission
ers. Mr Bradford addressed the House
insisting that acticTn on the subject
was due to the sixty odd thousand de
positors of the Freedman'a Bank, who
were principally colored people living
in the Southern States. That was a
duty which Congress ought not longer
to shirk, particularly in view of the
fact that Congress was to the sole ex
tent responsible for the losses of the
depositors. He traced the downfall of
the Bank to that amendment for its
charter which permitted the Bank to
make loans on real estate security in
stead of as before on the United estates
bonds. He argued against the views
of the majority of the committee who
hold that the present Commissioners
cannot be removed by Congres3. He
could not conceive how this office of
theirs was a property. 'They had no
beneficiary interest whatever in the
property or rights of the original cor
poration. He propped to relieve two
of these officers and have one man ap
pointed on whom the colored men
could rely with greater security. He
declared that for the year and a half
since these three Commissioners have
been in existence, they had expended
$150,000 and had only declared a divi
dend of 20 per cent. Two of them per
formed no duty whatever and paid out
of their salaries $500 each to com
pensate Mr. Leoald who discharg
ed all tli e duties of the three,
and his conduct he (Bradford)
would recount to the House. He as
serted that no such stupendous fraud
as this Freedman'a Bank had ever ex
isted under the protection of a govern
ment and it seems wonderful to him
that such a fraud could have existed
in Washington unchallenged by the
authorities and especially by those
who had taken the colored people un
der their special protection and care.
He quoted an extract from the testi
mony of Anson M Sperry, the bank
examiner, and other witnesses, as to
frauds, Ac, committed in the man
agement of the Bank. Some of the
testimony was in elucidation of a
transaction by which the bank lost
about $100,000, with the famous Seneca
Stone Company, which he character
ized as a bogus institution in which
several distinguished gentlemen com
mencing with the President and end
ing with Caleb Cushing, were stock
holders. He quoted from tbe testi
mony of a prominent physician of
Washington, Dr Purvis, one of the
trustees of the Bank, to tli a effect that
''the cashiers at almost all the branches
were scoundrels and thieves and made
no bones of it;" and that almost all of
them were ministers with large Sun
day schools. He declares that the
administration of the Freedman'a
Bank had been parallel with the ad
ministration of the government in the
Southern States ever since the so-called
rehabilitation of those States. In his
own State, the District and Circuit
Courts of the United States had ty
ranized over the people without re
gard to their rights of person or pro
perty, and yet the people of Alabama
would abide by the adjustment of 1868
whereby a new civilization was im
posed upon them. It was slanderous
to charge the people of the South
with any idea of impairing the obliga
tion of the national debt: or of disre-
?e
gatdiog the claims ot the maimed sol
diers. The people of the South were
no longer Confederates. The
Confederacy was dead long ago,
and nobody thought any longer about
it, except as an unfortunate incident,
in history. He declared that the peo
ple of the South never expected to be
paid for any of the losses sustained by
them during the War, and although a
few such claims had been presented,
there would be no concerted attempt
to press their claims for settlement.
Such claims would ever be supported
by the Democratic members from the
Sooth. He appealed to the members
of the House to do Justice to the
South, and no longer to believe the
people to be outlaws or hypocrites.
Let them have a good government and
a wholesole administration of justice
and they would be as true friends to
the colored people as could be
found on this continent He did net
believe that there was any purpose on
the part of any considerable portion
of the Republican party to vitiate the
rule that existed in the South since
1868. It would be a calamity to tbe
whole counUj. and especially to the
South, J il another administration of
the same sort were to control tbe gov
ernment for fouryeari to come." No
action was taken.
