The Freedmen's Bureau MT Richmond.
II is understood that General Mulford, who acted
commissioner for the exchange Of prisoners during the
war; had furnished At the request OF the President from
time TO time accurate and reliable reports Of the opera
tons Of the Freedmens Bureau in Richmond and other
parts Of Virginia These reports were based upon an
impartial view Of the in which the affairs Of the
Bureau administered, and are understood to be
generally in conflict with the reports Of General Terry
and his subordnates the relations existing between
the whites and blacks General Muford's proverbial
fairness and mpartalIty pointed him out doubtless
officer who could report the state Of affairs in
Virginia without prejudice or improper political motive
He been noted for his humanity and kindness while
acting commissioner for the exchange of prisoners,
and II IN very certain that nature thus constituted
would DO likely withhold from the President any
Of cruelty towards negroes which might under
his attention. Tho President, doubt, had q proper
appreciation Of the Generals reports II appears
least from the favorable change which he has made In
the department Of Virginia and North Carolina.
