Somebody says veto, veto OF what is called
the Freedmen Bureau billf can tell you
what il is. Before the rebellion com ,senced
there were about four millions OF slaves and
about three hundred and forty thousand
white people living in the South. These
hitter paid expenses, bought the lands and
cultivated them, and after the crops were
gathered, pocketed the profits. That's the
way the thing stood up to the rebellion. The
rebellion commenced, the slaves were hber-
ated, and then came up the Freedmen Bus
rean bill. This provides for the appointment
of agents and sub agents in all States, conn
ties and school districts, who have power to
make contracts for the freedmen and to hire
them out, and to use the military power to
carry them into execution. The cost OF this
to the people Was twelve million dollars at

be greater. and you are to be taxed for it

But, on the contrary, has it not done every
thing to prevent it.
