126 THE FREEDMEN’S SAVINGS BANK The several Comptrollers of the Currency who after 1881 had charge of the affairs of the defunct bank repeatedly recommended legislation in favor of the depositors. Comptroller John J. Knox declared in 1882 that the United States government had “assumed a quasi responsibil- ity” by its negligence in incorporating and after- wards in failing to inspect the bank, as well as by permitting a close connection with the Freed- men’s Bureau. He recommended that the losses to the depositors be paid out of the “overflowing Treasury” of the United States.® In 1885, H. W. Cannon, the next Comptroller, renewed his pred- ecessor’s recommendations and said, “It seems impossible for these people to realize that they are to be deprived of . . . a portion of their earnings, which years ago they labored so hard to acquire and save. Thousands of them to this day believe that the dividends paid to them by the commissioners are but the interest on their deposits, and that sooner or later their original deposits will be returned to them. No explana- tion seems to convince them to the contrary, and calls are made daily both orally and in writing for their money. Most of its branches were pre- sided over by the commissioned and uniformed officers of the government.” During Cleveland’s first administration W. L. Trenholm, southern Democrat, then Comp- claims, letter files, etc. They came from the branch banks at Wilmington, Charleston, Mobile, Savannah, Jacksonville, Tallahassee and Beaufort.— Repore of Thomas M.
