FULLERTON-TuE BUREAU.

The letter which we print in another column con-
corning Gen. Fullerton will probably be accepted as
conclusive evidence Of the unftness Of that officer for
a mission OF investigation into the Freedmens Blu
reau We can vouch for the writer as thoroughly n-
formed aud Trustworthy. His statements do not diff
fer materially from those published az the time In the
columns Of this Journal and which neither Gen. Full
lsrton nor anybody in his behalf denied. On the
contrary. Gen. Fullerton justified his conduct By
clamlng-whether truly or not we have no means o.!
knowing in all he did he merely carried out the
order Of President Johnson; that Inc in fact sent,
to put in force in Louisiana experiment of Presi-
Dental policy.
The journals which have favored us with elaborate
criticisms on our comments of Wednesday, assume
that we desire the perpetuation Of the Bureau. Our
opinions on that point have been stated before. We
regard the Bureau temporary organization for the
protection of the negroes. We think it will bo
required long as the Rebel States per-
sist in refusing to their coored citizens
the means of protecting themselves, and of securing
their own rights TO life liberty, and property. Abol
ish to-day the Black Code and all laws based on dis
tinction Of race or color, and we will advocate
tomorrow the abolition of the Bureau. II is urged
that the white people Of the Southern States regard
the Bureau with dislike and hostility. We fear it is
too true, unless we except the hungry ones who find
their account in Bureau ratiOns. Ii is equally true
that they show degree of dislike and hostility to
their black fellow citizens which makes the Bureau
a necessity for the time being. While black man is
shut out from the courts, forbidden to carry arms
denied the ballot loaded with penalties for breach of
his contract for the commission of crime, debarred
from free choice Unemployment, punished as vagrant
ifho refuse to work for his old master at nominal
wages and may be sold into slavery for using dsre
spectfu language. We do not see how the Freedmens
Bureau can be dispensed with. The faith Of
the Government is pledged to maintain the
freedom of the men whom it emancipated
BY help Of the Bureau il does this in very i'm
perfect way but without the Bureau we fear the
freedmen would be little better OIL than when Slavery
had an existence in law as well as in fact There
mistakes in the management ofhe Bureau, perhaps, as
there are mistakes in all human instuons-in church
government and education and even missionary
work The of things which requires the continu
ance of such an organization will come to an end
either by national guaranty of the ballot and all
other rights to the negro by voluntary concession
of them on the part of the States. The enemies Of the
Bureau can hasten its disappearance by advocating
either of these methods of Acknowledgement for the
blacks Let the South do justice to the negro, and
enable him TO protect himself and we shall gladly
surrender the Bureau and take comfort in seeing its
officers go to blowing.

Mr. Charles s. Spencer is a gentleman with whom
we have quite generally agreed in politics, and on
most questions; yet we were not aware that he had
given much time thought to the study of reconcile
topics of potico-socal economy. Yet, in one report
of the proceedings before the Police Commissioners in
the Of Mrs. DR.. Walker, we find the following:
Mr. Spencer reterate what said beore-that any
woman or man who might dress IN manner that Woud a.

Mr. Spencer is a counselor learned in the law
whereof we know very little; so We must presume

unarodaby from these beginnings She was overcome
and has submitted But will The TRIBUNE. or will anybody
viewing the matter without prejudice or passion tell Us IN
what Virginia was wrongf
Ansrer.-The Virginia Convention was abomnably
wrong in not recognizing the right Of The Nation to eris
That right inheres in the very nature Of government
and no special charter or permit is essential TO IT'S
exercise South Carolina had said, months before
II will destroy the Union no matter though every
other State should protest; for will secede, and
there is no power to eoerce NE; and then-the
Union being dissolved by one State-the others
can have no choice but as to which fraction
they will belong to-" Virginia, in full view of this
action of South Carolina elected, by great popular
majority. a Convention to maintain the Union.
That Convention was bullied into betraymg
its trust; and then her people were told
"You may vote on the question of Union or
Secession; but, if you vote for Union, you vote to
betray your Southern brethren, who have come here
at the invitation of your authorities, to protect aud
defend you" IF you vote for the Union and are
oyerrued, you must leave the State, said Senator
James NJ. Mason. Let us all stand together
said Alex. II. III. Stuart, land then we can make
terms between the belligerents" Eve give the idea,
not the words.) Thus the people of Virginia were
swindled into voting Secession By deceiving AS
suranoeS and misleading issues. On fair, square
issue and hearing of both sides, she would never
have voted herself ont OF the Union. We have heard
that The Wing was bought over to the side of Dis
union but are not sure as to that We know, how
ever that the Secession of Virginia was the product
of violence and fraud-oi deception and terrorism.
1t has been terrible lesson. If her fault was grev
Gus, grevously hath she answered it. Henceorth,

MILEAGE.

Elsewhere our readers will find suggestive table
illustrating the proportions which mileage" has
assumed. The people will see how much it costs to
carry their Representatives to Washington and home
again. A New-York Congressman, for instance, can
only be transported for 1916. We send correspondents
many times year to the Capital, and their mileage
is not one-tenth the money. Why should the people
pay ten times as much for work done as private
merchants and business men dol California sent five
men to Washington, and their expenses amounted to
S537I9, which would almost buy a steamer, and
suggests that it would be economy to send home Cali
fornia Representatives in Government vessels. The
most fortunate man of the party seems to be an
Oregon Representative, whose Expenses" foot up
Sl253l 20 regiment might go to Oregon for
almost as much money
Let the people read this list, and speak of it, and
finally CONSOLIDATED public opinion that will suppress
it. They must speak loudy-for when money il con-
cerned men often deaf.

A Philadelphia paper asserts that the nomination
of Mr. G. G.. Fleurot as Consul to Bordeaux was re-
ected because il had been made at the instance oil
Mrs. James Gordon Bennett. The public will not
lightly credit such an imputation on the dignity and
honor of the Senate of the United States. We know
nothing whatever, save by rumor of the indictments
to Mr. Fleurots nomination; yet it Is but justice to
say that he has heretofore filed an important Consul
late. and, so far as we know, with usefulness and
credit. We are assured that he is in character and
manners gentleman; and we cannot believe that
the Senate either asked or cared who favored his
nomination. In the absence OF information, we pre-
sumo that he was rejected because the Senate con
Sjdered the Bordeaux Consulate well filed already,
and desired no change

Mr.. Hooper from The Banking Committee, has re-
ported bill to the House to amend the National Cur
rency act in important particulars. Power is given
the Controller Of the Currency to proceed summariy
against any bank guilty Of msfeasance, and each bank
is prohibited from lending money to any one
person in an amount exceeding one-tenth its
capital stock, unless on specified security. The
circulation OF all banks whose capital is
less than $780, 900 is reduced 10 per cent,
and bank circulation shall exceed 1900 900.
The reduction thus made is estimated at Sl5 OOO
but in its place additional authority is granted for
$4,000 600 Of circulaton half for the conversion of
State into National banks, and half for the Southern
and other States which have less than their fair pro-
portion Of capital. The total amount Of National
bank capital for the United States not to exceed the
present limit of $500, 10000
The bill proposes also to require all the National
banks to redeem their notes at New-York, Phladel-
phia, and Boston; with other important changes of
which an abstract is given elsewhere.

Mr.. Morgan, in presenting yesterday to the Senate
the memorial of the New-York Chamber Of Commerce
in favor of Bankrupt Law, expressed his hope that
the House bill would be reported from the Judiciary
Committee at early day. The country expects
this. The bill, rs it finally passed the House, had
been most carefully matured and needs little consid'
Grafton from the Senate Committee in respect TO its
details. 1t will not be fought in the Senate any
such ground Its enemies concedc that if any bill is
to be passed, this is good one but their opposition
strikes at the principle Of the BILL and is based the
belief that ought not TO have any Bankrupt Law at
all. We take leave 20 say 10 the Judiciary Com
mittee OF the Senate that such issue the strug
gle is to be made in the Senate itself, and not in
Committee, and there can be no reason why the
measure should be held back. II to be beaten,
We desire to be beaten in fair fight aud open
field and we ask the Chairman of the Judiciary
Committee to see that the friends Of Bankrupt law
have discussion and vote in the Senate without
further DELAY.

coycry Of perpetual motion till the circle had been
squared, till the Polar circle had been completely e1-

his amendment, and the Senate adjourned without
voting on the main question.

Mr.. Harris Of Maryland seems to be anxious for
another crown Of martyrdom, and invites the House
to expe him by proclaiming the most offensive dis
loyalty. He would have gone with the Confederacy
if Maryland had been allowed to go, says Mr. Harris.
We think however, it was wise to keep Maryland
even at the cost of keeping Harris. The only Won
der in mind is why Harris should have preferred
an election to the Congress at Washington when he
might have gone to the Richmond concern.
