Press was received on Saturday:
..-.. - WASHINGTON. March 8. Z
The Railroad bill has passed as amended
by the Senate. The construction provision
was stricken out, and other important pro-
visions were made. ~..--.-
The bill alluded to, we suppose to
be the one granting four additional sec.
tioas of land to all the railroads in this
State, excepting the St. Paul and Lake
Superior road, which already has ten
sections,) and extending the time tor
their completion eight years. The con-
struction clause which was stricken out
was as follows:
"There shall he constructed and compile
ted in running order, on each Of the lines
and branches mentioned and referred to in
this act, twenty miles of railroad in each
and every year." ="

THE FREBDMENs' AID SOCIETY.

This society was established in this city
some time ago, as is already.known to most
of our citizens. Its object is to aid the
Freedmen who are striving to work planta-
tions on their own account. They say that
they mean to secure education to them but
as this is already done by the Board of Edu-
cati on we need not look to this new organ
ization for much in that line. It will do to
talk of. But the work Of helping Freedmen
in working plantations is commendable.
This is done by individual members making
loans, the same as merchants are in the habit
of doing. The society does not do the work.
The Freedmen who thus receive funds are
to pay them back with interest. This is
fair, but it is as much an aid to the lender
as to the borrower. We wish the Society
much success, and the BLACK REPUBLICAN
will watch its progess.and note its useful
ness with the deepest interest. As it is in
tended to put this paper on every plantation
in the Department Of the Gulf, the Freed
men viii be apt to learn what is being done
for them by this and kindred associations.
Most of the members of this Society are the
wealthy colored men of our own city.
The Black Republican., 1865-04-15
THE FREEDMEN OF THE DEPARTMENT
OF THE GULF.

We are informed upon inquiry at the
Bureau of Free Labor, that not one freed
man has been employed directly by that
Office to the planters during the present
spring. They are so far advanced beyond
their condition last year that they employ
themselves. This will surprise many men
who are carried away with the fallacious
notion that everything to be done by our
brethren is prescribed at that Office. We
are glad to know that the Government sim
ply furnishes certain forms, on which the
freedmen make their own contracts, and
that the Government one is only adopted in
the case of such as do not make one. The
Bureau of Free Labor manages the planters
more than it does the freedmen. These men
need lust such a tribunal to control them.
We all know that not one in a hundred of
our brethren on the plantations would ever
receive his just earnings if the planter were
left to himself He must pay what he
agrees To obtain this result the most
strenuous efforts are put forth by the
Bureau, and the good results could be seen
by any who would take the pains to ac-
quaint themselves with them.
The Black Republican., 1865-04-15
LIEUT.. COL, GEO. B. DRAKE.

1t will be seen by the order published
from headquarters that this officer has re-
signed his position on account of impaired
health, and we understand will soon leave
for the North. Col. Drake was among the
earliest Of the young men of Boston to en-
ter the United States service, and was first
commissioned as Lieutenant in the famous
18th Massachusetts regiment, raised and
commanded until his death by Col. Fletcher
Webster, son of the immortal statesman of
that name. Col. Drake was for long
time connected with the staff of
Gen. Hartsuf, and served with
that brave and distinguished officer
through all the battles in which the Army of
the Potomac were engaged, until the great
contest at Antietam, where the General, by
severe wounds, was compelled to retire from
active service. Col. Drake has been in this
Department something over year, and the
complimentary allusion to him in the order
of Gen. Hurlbut, with the regrets expressed
upon his retirement, viii be responded to by
the many citizens of New Orleans who have
met him within and out of office. His uni
form courtesy at his desk, his gentlemanly
qualities and bearing, have won him hosts of
friends in this Department; and in leaving
us for other duties in life, he bears with him
the hearty well wishes Of the people of this
city and State.
The Black Republican., 1865-04-15
THE SUFFRAGE QUESTION.

Five thousand colored citizens petitioned
the late Legislature for the passage of a
law granting them the right of suffrage. 1t
was well known that the.right could only
be given to persons having certain qualif-
cations, as the Constitution limits the
power of the Legislature III that respect.
Had the Legislature given it to such as had
the fitness prescribed in the Constitution,
large number Of our population would
then have enjoyed it. We desire to
see our population put upon no restric-
ton not imposed upon others in this re-
spect, and we hope the time for that is
near. But the Legislature adjourned
without taking any action on the subject.
This viii be remembered in future as a
sign of the unfaithfulness of that body.
The men who sent the petition, and those
who encouraged them to do 50, have done
their duty. If rulers and law makers viii
not do right, they are accountable TO the
Judge of all the earth. But the people have
done their duty. If another Legislature
were to assemble tomorrow, and if it were
worse than the last one, we should encour-
age the repetition of the same measures. It
is natural to ask for what we want. We
win say more. It is the duty of citizens to
keep asking Of their Government till
justice is done. But the question re-
verts to the inquiry Was that
our Government ?" To this a very
simple answer can be given. 1t made laws
and the people have to be governed by
them. 1t appoints judges and they rule in
the courts. The man who calls the Govern
ment of the State a bogus concern will
soon find himself in jail if he violates any of
its enactments. 1t has all the force of any
Government, except a military arm. That
is wanting by the State, bnt is supplied by
the United States. The course of our popu
latiOn is very clear. We must ask and ask
again. We must accept the right of suffrage
when we can get it. We must strive for it
till it comes. "The Lord is on the giving
hand" and He will give us this blessing
with others if we are true to our mission.
