These Commissioners are authorized to employ agents, and pay them a reasonable compensation out of the funds of the said company, and "the said Commissioners shall retain out of -said funds a reasonable compensation for their trouble, not ex- 3dmg threo thousand dollars eacu per annum. That act was. signed on the 2d. of $ une, 1874, and in less than ten days th doors of the bank were finally closed, although Fredericlc Douglass, its. last President,; a few weeks before declared solemnly .5 that it was sound, andt Mould pay dollar for dollar, if not pressed. h i According to a preconcerted programme three Commissioners were chosen by the trustees, vizi J. A Csesswell, late straw-bid postmaster uenerai, 1 ana. now .Li 0.rSiRned a ship1 in Ithe Treasury for this more lucrative place. They started out by assuring the deposi- tors that everything was safe, and that only time and patience - were needed to secure .them- against loss. These false representations were made for a partisan purpose and to keep "the negroes in line. Their own; peculiar representative, Purvis, was most conspicuous in giving pledges, by the which were flatly contradictedi books, accounts and so-called as sets. Now,, these; same Commissioners have made a formal, report; which convicts them of niisrepresentatfou heretofore and with all their efforts to put the best face on a bad matter, shows how utterly rotten is the whole concern They, confess bv restraint under an imepndlngc threat of in vestigation, what .Dbuglads ana . Purvis must have known when they ;made their rose colored statements, by which 72,000 depositors of their own rce "were cruelly and shamefully deceived.
