Our misfortUnes have made an assign.
menr necessary. Ou affairs have gone,
to a very great extent, out of u hands.
We are bankrupt. Though our assignee
are not of our own choosing, il is not the
less cur duty % give them all possible as
sisraucc, so that they may make a fair
and honest settlement of our affairs and
obtain for rs the best possible terms from
our creditors. Our mfOrtunste specula-
tons have placed Us largely indebt to the
United States Government; the radicals
are pressing bogus laimsupon rs through
means indirect but powerful the State
Government Is doing nothing toward our
relief and the negro is our small creditor
who's annoying and peTpiexing us at
every turn.
President JOHNSON has our affairs in
charge. Cnder his administration
national claims against Us are

STAYED OF, 50 thar though they annoy US
and Creaue u~nessiness, they do us no
present hnrt; but acting by himself, he
Is not competent to protect Us against the
claims, clamors and annoyances Of our
small creditors, the negroes.
Were the State relieved from marshal
law, and the conservative views Of her
citizens reflected by her Legislature, we
would have but little trouble with the
negro. The general impulse is to do him
justice, and help him in his unfortunate
position. He has lost the claim he has
had upon Us from childhood, and l.
thrown upon the world bereft Of his
birthright-the care Of his master and
the protection Of laws, especially made
for his happiness. We are in his debt 10
this extent, and we would gladly pay him
his mes Of p0trage were we able; but our
blrthright has temporarily been lost and
we look for its restoration through Presi-
dent JOHNSON. We have at present but
little power 70 help ourselves; but there
are potent agencies 0fmischief which are
partially within our control, and it is our
duty 10 look squarely into the face Of our
troubles and our dangers.

Bad men have undoubtedly found places
"a the Freedmen's Bureau. Il Is the in
Of our bogus creditors, the Radi-
Gals, that bad men should be in the Blu
resu. They, however, are losing their
power, and here at least the affairs Of the
Bureau are In the hands Of a soldier and a
gentleman. He, In arms fort the interests
