and unconstrained, We feel like mngling our
tears with those of the disconsolate Fullerton.
Well, as Slavery is really abolished and there
is no way by which Fullerton can possibly re-
store to the masters the care Of the negroes IN
"sickness and in old age" he proceeds to
lecture tho freedmen, As the masters cannot
take care Of the negroes, the negroes must taae
cara Of the masters. His first instruction Is
"that freedom does not mean liberty TO be
idle, "This is mistaken notion" says Fuller
ton. elders and vagrants will not DO toler-
ated." From this remark one would suppose
that tho industrial interests Of Louisiana were
TO be assumed by Fullerton, and that Oil lhie'
ness and yagrancy would be stopped by TINS
Dogberry in epaulettes. This is mistake Our
Norberry does not find warrant to "compre-
hend" White vagabonds-but only those VINO
are Black. The White vagrants-men who,
according to Harry T. Hays, now member OF
the Democratic Committee OF LOUISIANA.
formerly General under Lce-are lett
by the war Gas charges upon the charity OF the
country" are to be given employment IN Ma
tional Express Company. Fullcrton's autnor'
ity does not permit him to send from his bureau
the begging whites, refugees and unrecon-
structed Rebels who live on Government ra'
tions; but has the negro only. II the whto
man wants work, he either hunts 1t or starVes.

words, Fullerton, speaking to the negro In the
name of the great United States, wearing the
nations uniform and carrying its sword, draws
that sword and says to the negek Of Louisiana;

freedom you accept its duties and responsible
ties--I command you TO abandon your freedomi

TO take care of you in sickness, and make you
work, make this sword your master, and you

States once said to the negro race he would be
its Moses. What would Moses have done if
one Of his satraps he'd undertaken 10 order the
people Of Israel back to Egypt
Having found man Ike Fullerton, the
Rebels coddle him. Mobile newspaper finds
that he i a gentleman, and unlike that "yile
Yankee" Conway. Another newspaper, edited,
we are told, by "a Rebel General, says that I'VE
learned on Friday with great pleasure that
preparations for public dinner to Gen. Fuller
ton ore now making by number OF our
prominent citizens. By his jndioions- and con-
oiiiafosy course the General has won goide"
opinions among our people, and Is highly de-
serving Of the proposed compliment" AZ If to
pander 10 this feeling, Fullerton writes letter
declining 10 attend meeting of compliment
to Mr.. Conway. He will not 60. He Is an
officer and must obey "orders and instruc-
tons" He Will dine with the Rebels, and
"wallop their niggers" foT them, and see that
the freedmen stay on the old plantations, but he
cannot 90 to "a grand mass meeting OF the
colored population" No such associations for
this military popinjay, if you please. lie is in

pleased 70 dine him is likewise pleased 10 sing
