THE Freedmen's BureaH.

what less Objectionable III InanS VI
;ts features than the one vetoed by |
President JOHNSON has been passed
by the congress aud now awaits
the Presidents signature, 1t proposes
to keep the Bureau in operation three
wears longer and thus prolong the oppor-
tunjties for plunder that are so highly
relished by the New England patriots
who run the machine In the lace OF
the disgraceful outrages and wholesale
robbery of the government exposed by the
recent report of Generals STEEDMAN and
FULLERTON, the congress has resolved to
continue the system three years longer.
Our readers may expect to see another
of ANDY JoHNsoN's mastery veto mes
sages in few days.
In relation to the whole Freedmen's
Bureau system, the New York Journal Of
Commerce has the following just and
forcible remarks: The idea of the
Freedmen's Bureau is in effect to substl-
tute for the old slavery TO master,
new slavery to government officials Ii
all government officials were virtuous,
all free fro%l any possible reproach on
the grCund of self interest, we should
STU see plainly that the relations when
they sustained to the freedmen under
their charge were wholly inconsistent
with American principles The very
theory of the buTeau raises an antagoh-
ism between black and white races, III
is founded on the assertion that such an
taponism is natural and necessary. But
no such state exists now. nor did 1t ever
exist The relations of the Southern
masters and slaves have always been OF
the most kindly and affectionate sort.
There is no better evidence of this needed
than the fact that during the whole oil
war the slaves remained faithful TO then
masters and did the great amount OF
Southern labor, not under compu!sion,
but cheerfully, during the absence oil
their masters, and when Southern homes
were inhabited almost solely by white
females. No instruction marked the
history of the rebellion. The TACT Is
most instructive. Nor is there any truth
in the stories, which often OBTAIN cltcu-
lation through radical papers, to the
effect that there is now bitterness
between the whites and blacks in
the South, except just so far as the
Freedmen's Bureau produces that very
bitterness. Wherever the people are
out of reach of the influences OF that
bureau, the blacks are becoming con
tented, and learning with commendable
rapidity the ways of labor and liberty
Wherever the bureau extends its inter
ferences we hear of trouble a very ex-
tensive correspondence throughout the
Southern States confirms this view as
true Of every portion. What Is, then
the course OF wisdom There Is butte
answer: Remit the local government OF
the states as rapidly as possible TO the
people OF The SeYera' states .Aboish
