VACANCY m sOuru CAROLINA.

The Assistant Commissioner OF Freedmen's
Affairs in South Carolina. In his dispatches to
the Chief OF the Bureau, says there are good
many vagrant Freedmen in the district OF Col
umbia, 3 G.. and there seems &c be 3 disposi-
tion 70 avoid work and violAte contracts among
them. The outrases committed by this class
Of freedmen are numerous, There are also a
great number Of idle whites in the district who
are generally responsible for the oatraees com
mittsd upon the freedmen. ana In the cases of
violence charged TO the freedmen, he has
usually found white man was AZ the bot
tom.
disposition has been manifested, he states,
among a number OF the planters, who are
eyIlly disposed 10 take advantage Of the freed
men by driving them away from the planta-
tIoss on frivolous charges, about the time
when the crops are matured and ready for
gathering, thus securing 10 themselves the
share that woulo, other wise, fall TO the freed
man. He states that the officer WHO nov nils
the position OF Provost Ma snal, before whom
these cases must be adjusted, also occupies the
position of Post Adiutant and commands a
company. which prevents his giving as m uch
attention 10 these matters as they require He
recommends thai instead of a Provost Court a
Eresdmen's Cour; be established by which
means justice can be more speedily scared.
