awoke in time to get glimpse of wolf
which with long strides and plunges, dashed
by the side of him, and disappeared in the
obscurity. This unexpected presence had O
spectral look to it, not calculated to make a
man feel at home and comfortable.
One time during the night, a party of Kay
otah Indians came within brief distance OF
his resting place, and uttered a yell which
made the very grass vibrate through all that
midnight region. They finally went away,
unconscious that there was Congressional
scalp within the reach of their knives At
another time during the night, drove of
stampeded buffaloes swept over the plain; and
it was q matter of doubt, for several minutes,
whether the rushing column would wipe out
the solitary horseman or not The buffaloes,
however, had respect for valuable human life
and Numbered away TO the west without in
fiicting damage.
AT nine o clock next morning, after passing
night of ehilliness, peril and loneliness, Mr.
X. met train, and dispatched couriers to
Gen. Dodge to assure him that the camp and
not the Congressman, was about to be found
1t was the conviction of the General and 9TH

charge with the buffaloes and that his body
was already furnishing the wolves with

BY TELEGRAPH,



Gen. Howard, Commissioner of Freedmen s
affairs, on the 18th inst, in an address ex-
planatory of the objects of the Freedmen's
Bureau and his present visit to the South,
delivered in the presence of Mayor Macbeth,
the common council and prominent citizens
of Charleston, have some announcements of
importance. The General spoke of the hos
tile feelings toward the Bureau in Charleston,
and the General acknowledged it, and says he
had no hope for the country until civil law
was restored. He said that the clamor of
the politicians was all they had 10 contend
with, that he had generally found the planters
favorable to the Bureau, and that he himself,
as well as the President, was anxious that civil
law should be again untrammeled by military
law. But the negroes, having lost the protec-
ton of their masters. need some guarantee
for the safety of their interests and until the
State allowed the Freedmen TO testify in its
courts, he was free to say the Bureau would
continue. The President, he stated, would be
very charry of surrendering the State to the
civil law, until stop was put to the outrages
on the blacks. He gives encouraging replies
to those planters who are seeking the resto-
ration of their property, and says he hopes to
soon see wholesome laws guaranteeing the
rights of Freedmen passed BY the legislature
and the present difficulties between the two
races settled. He announced his purpose of
establishing courts to consist of an army officer
and two citizens, to make rccognizance for
the present, of complaints by or against the
coored people.
Gen. Howard subsequently addressed the
negroes along the coast, and then took his de
parture for the State capital to confer with
Gov. Perry.
Gen. Bennett, commanding the department
of Charleston, has issued an order directing
the military to surrender 10 civil tribunals
where the officers Of the former are duly
qualified, the adjudication of legal matters,
except such as relates to property in the pos
session Of the national Government, and
cases in which negroes are interested.
There have recently been extensive resto-
rations to citizens of Charleston, on property
seized by the Government. Nearly all the
wharf owners, and several Of the larger pro-
perty holders of the city have again unre
stricted control of their former possessions.
The South Carolina Legislature assemblies
in extra session to-day.
The State Conventions Of Florida and
Georgia meet to-day.

The Future.

None OF the recognizing conventions thus
far have ventured to enact TINS fundamental
principle of justice part of the organic law
of the State. Alabama, has to be sure, order
ed the continuance of the arrangement which
already existed between Governor Pars ons
and Gen. Swayne, permitting the testimony
of negroes before the civil courts, undl the
Legislature shdlin,cet. Yesterday stelegfaphic
dispatches, meanwhile announced the triumph
in Mississippi of those candidates in the late
election who were most emphstically opposed
to doing this plain act of justice, and cpnfer-
ring this plain right of.all freedmen up6n the
negro. The Ne,cs, therefore, in saying the
people would repudiate Gov. Sharkey' proc
lamatlon, spoke truly.
All these indications point distinctly enough
to the results that will crowd promptly upon
the removal of martial law in the South. The
Freedmen's Bureau will become instantly
powerless to furnish either assistance OF pro-
lection to the colored people, and will speedi-
" follow the departure of martial law. The
colored schools will disappear like wreath
of yapor in the sun. The enforcement Iof la
Dor contracts will be possible only on onf side.
No legislature in the South will enact the ne
gro testimony law, provided the State can re-
gain its old position in the Union without
such concession. The madness will be GER
tainly perpetrated of attempting TO hold the
entire negro population as permanent out
casts, barbarians and paupers. Practical re-
enslavement, or wild and bloody anarchy, will
be the inevitable consequence of such an at
tempt. A people that cannot tolerate negro
testimony and the pre- emnently humane and
Christianizing operation of the Freedman 8
Bureau, viii not tolerate any efforts on the
part of the negroes to educate or elevate them
selves, nor any efforts to the same end on the
part Of volunteer philanthropy from without
Neither will they tolerate free discussion of
these topics in their midst. But it is just this
state of things which the North will never
tolerate the re-establishment of the late rebel
section. Politicians may plot, and editors
may buster about the intermeddling and the
despotism of a centralized government to the
top of the bent. The loyal people of this
country are not going to be caught again sub
misting to such farce of democraey-such
satire upon liberty and law as the slayehold
ing States have presented hitherto Aside
from al, philantropic considerations. their op-
position on selfish and polite grounds will be
obstinate and unconque7able. They mean TO
have too right of way and liberty of,speech in
the South to the full extent these are enjoyed
in the North. And holding the power now to
provide fer the ample and permanent security
OF these, they Will use it IS long as the neces-
sity constitutes. And they will see TO ii that
the South has full time given her to get healed
of her Improbable infatuation.-Louisri

Nor Losr.-Hon. Jno. 4. Kasson has re-
turned 10 his home in Des Moines from his
Western trip. In ehronicling his return the
i2eaister tells the following pleasant little story
of the distinguished member of Congress from
the Fifth District
He does not confirm the report that he was
lost on one occasion but acknowledges, with
that candor for which an honest hunter is no.
ted, that the camp at which he was expected
TO arrive. was lost instead of himself, and it
cost him infinite difficulty and peril to find it
He was out on a buffalo chase; aud about
noon of the day wherein his tribulations com
menced, he was seen peppering buffalo with
remarkable precision and effect. The animal
was considerably tenacious of life, and lum
bered away over the prairies with several shots
in his body. Mr.. X. pursued. His blood was
up. His horse had great endurance, and the
race was kept up in spirited and magnificent
style. The hunter. after expendng every
shot in his possession. had the misfortune to
see the buffalo, although perforated in divers
places still alive. The wounded animal, ind-
ing himself at bay, and staggering with ex-
haustion, bethought himself at last to make D
charge on his enemy. He did so with amaz-
ing power and momentum; and but for the
o,..ivity OF the horse, the 9Th District of Iowa
would, isen and there, have lost its Repre-
sentative in t6ngress..
Immediately asipr this grand charge, Mr..
K. having no more shots Stth which to pepper
the buffalo. began to indulge the esuspicion that
be was not only alone in his glory away out on
the plains, but that his ensamhme len, aSes lost.
The afternoon was spent inithe seMSff to fnl

but still experienced much trouble in discov

exhausted by the chase and excitementp
