of races, or any Of the other evils Wis
which the diseased INA inati On ct
frightened old fossils is continually
painting as the inevitable results of
equal suffrage. This was not "a white
mans government" when it was form
ed. and nevertheless it was pretty
good government Most men believe
that it was better than any we have

secession. The Republican, party
proposes to restore the government

rights was with them both principle
and practice. The sooner we initiate
their eSanlpley the sooner will the long
contest caused by inequality of rights,
which has kept us in a constant tur-
'moil for nearly half century, reach
a final settlement, the sooner will the
questions growing out of the war be
forever disposed of, the sooner shall
we have peace and order, and oppor-
tunity to devote our attention to other
matters that already demand it.-Mis-

The Freedmen's Bureau.

The much-abused Freedmen's Bu-
reau is proved, by recent report to
Congress, TO have been managed with
careful economy, and in view of the
great good it has accomplished, to have
been remarkably inexpensive. 1t is
almost exclusively under the control
and management of military officers
whose Salaries are not inere -.sed by
their present duties. At the time of
its organization it received no APP
preparation from Congress for its sup
port, but it obtained from various
sources, up TO- Oct!!1, 1868, the sum Of
1901, 1886. OF this only SITS, 1863 were
expended in 1866, the principal items
being labor, 1927, 097; clothing, sub
sistence, &C., 75,504, and schools,
81, 819, of, the balance v$115, 236

which furnished the revenues, of the
previous year, s706, 1888, which, with
the above balance, made the total re-
ceipts $1.020,7 84. The expenditures
tor the same period were $3.50, 400, the
principal items being 1926, 918 for la

Der of rations issued from June, 1865,
to March, 1866, both inclusive, was
1,973,528 to white refugees, and s.

report shows how fearfally thegopera-
tions of the bureau were misrepresentJ
ed by the Democratic party during the
last campaign. Instead of being an
extravagant and corrupt institution,
1T has, without sensibly burdening the
Government, been of immense service
in restoring, at least . semblance of
order IN The South; In relieving the
