CONTRACTS FOR LABOR.-We would
call the attention Of those who have
charge of freedmen's affairs, to the
following communication from one of
our Oldest and most eminent jurists.
-Ne,c Orleans Picayu,e
General Fullerton, in his very SEN
sible and judicious advice as Assistant
Commissioner Bureau of Freedmen,
to the freedmen of Louisiana, seems
not to have been aware of the exist
ence OF certain provis. ons of the Civil
Code of Louisiana He remarks that
Sin the absence of civil law regarding
agreements between the whites and
yourselves, contracts for hire have
been made for you by the agents of
this Bureau, and by military officers"
Sections two and three of article one
hundred and tifty-seven of the Code,
under the head of free servants, and
the articles following, regulating the
relations created between the master
and his free servants, under the con-
tracts between them thus authorized,
appears to furnish all the necessary
civil law on this subject Those en-
actments were made for white as well
as colored persons, and it cannot,
therefore, be supposed they would
operate injudiciously to the colored po-
pulation. Under this law, as amend
ed in 1926, the freedmen may bind
themselves for term not exceeding
five years, and minors may be inden-
tured for service until eighteen years
for females, and twenty-one years for
males The most ample protection is
afforded to the servants thus inden-
tured Or apprenticed. The contracts
may be reciprocally enforced, and
both parties compelled to the specific
performance of their engagements,
and the servant may be punished for
negligence or misdemeanor with mo-
deraton, provided the whip is not
used. AS this law makes no discrimi-
nation as to color, no valid objections
can be made to calling it now into
operation at once, with the sanction
OF the Freedmen's Bureau. Planters
thus engaging a sufficient force to re-
new their planting operations, under
contracts for a term of years, will
have q solid basis for the credit ne
cessary to enable them to stock thei1
plantations, and obtain the necessary
supplies to commence with These
laws, properly understood and en-
forced, will place the labor system Of
the country on as favorable footing
as could be expected, both as regards
the planters and the freedmen. II
may be of service to call the attention
OF the commissioners and of the pub
lie to these laws. CIyIs.
