We lay before our readers the following
mond papers Of the I'd:
BUREAU OF REFUGEES, FREEDMEN AND !
ABANDONED LANDS, HEADQUARTERS ASSISTANT :
COMMISSIONER, STATE OF VIRGINIA,
Richmond, Va, September 81, 1865.
Each Assistant Superintendent Of this Blu
reau will invite the citizens and freedmen
within his sub-district to select leach class for
itself from among the citizens a suitable per-
son to act as agent of the Bureau. The As
sistant Superintendent, with the two agents
thus selected, will adjudicate upon all diff
culties that may arise between the whites and
the freedmen, or among the freedmen them
selves, including crimes committed by the
coed Imprisonment at hard labor for period
of three months, or a fine of one hundred dol
lars. All other cases will be referred by them
to competent military authority
These agents will aid and assist the freed
men in making contracts for their services
during the coming season, aud will see that
all able to work are properly and proftaby
employed, .. Brown, Colonel,
Assistant Commissioner.
CONTRACTS BY FREEDMEN--THE TENEMENT
SYSTEM RECOMMENDED The following time
ly circular has been issued
Bureau OF REFUGEES, FREEDMEN, &C., }
Hp'ToRs, ASST Con-, STATE OF VIRGINIA,
RICHMOND, Va, Sept. 20, 1865.
Reports have been received at these head
quarters that the freedmen in some parts of the
State refuse to enter the just and reasonable
contracts for labor, on the account of the be-
lief that the United States Government will
distribute lands among them, superintendent
and agents of this Bureau will take the earliest
opportunity to explain to the freedmen that no
lands will be given them by the Government;
that the Government has but a very small
quantity of land in the State, only enough to
provide homes for few families, and that
this can only be secured by the purchase or
lease. They will also explain to them the
advantages of at once entering into contracts
for labor for the coming year, and that the
system of contracts is in no way connected with
slavery, but it is the system adopted by free
laborers everywhere. 1t is believed that the
renting of small tracts of land by the farmer
to his laborers would be mutually beneficial.
The laborers interest in his crops and i'm prove
ments would attach him to the plantation,
counterfeit any temptation to break his con-
tract, and, by furnishing employment for the
more dependent members Of his family, in
crease their contentment and their comforts.
The plan for renting lands on shares to the
freedmen has been successfully tried in some
parts of the State as is believed to be worthy
of more extended trial, Superintendent
will counsel with and assist both parties in
making either Of the above arrangements.
