THE NEW FREEDMEN's BILE.

Special Dispatch TO the Cincinnati Gazette.l
WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-The new Freed
mems Bureau bill, introduced by Mr.. Elliot
has received the sanction of some gentlemen
who are popularity supposed to be in general
harmony with the President. The provis-
ion in respect to military jurisdiction is as
follows Whenever, in either of the said
States or districts, the ordinary course of
judicial proceedings has been interrupted
by the rebellion, and until the same shall be
fully restored, and until such State shall
have been restored in its constitutional rela-
tions to the Government, and shall be duly
represented in the Congress of the United
States, the President shall, through the
Commissioner and the officer of the Bureau,
and under such rules and regulations as the
President, through the Secretary of War,
shall prescribe, extend military protection
and have military jurisdiction over all cases
and questions concerning the free enjoyment
of such immunities and rights, and no per.-
atty or punishment FOR any violation of law
shall be imposed or permitted, because of
race or color, or a previous condition of
slavery, other or greater than the penalty or
punishment to which white persons may
be liable by law for the like offense;
but the jurisdiction conferred by this
section upon the officers of the
Bureau, shall not exist in any State
wherein the ordinary course of judicial pro-
ceedings has not been interrupted by the re-
bellion, and shall close in every State when
the courts are not disturbed in the peaceful
course of justice, and after such State shall
be fully restored in its constitutional rela-
tions to the Government, and shall be duly
represented in the Congress Of the United
States" 1t will be seen that this section is
so drawn as to obviate many of the objec-
tions argued against the former bill by the
President The new bill further provides
that "the Com missioner Of the Bureau shall
at all times cooperate with private benev0-
lent associations of citizens in aid Of the
freedmen, and with the agents and others
duly accredited and appointed by them, and
shall provide proper sites and buildings for
the purpose of education, ,lwhenevers such asso-
Citations shall, without cost to the Govern
ment, provide suitable teachers and means of
instruction and he shall furnish such pro-
lection a. may be required for the safe con-
duct Of such schools, and said property shall |
be and remain the property of the United
States, until the sales thereof shall be author
lied" 1t will be observed that this section
also obviates the objections urged against the |
former bill with respect to schools and asy-
lums. The bill, however, retains the Sea |
Island section, and the section reserving |
lands in Florida, Mississippi, Louisiana, Ala |
bama, and Arkansas, for sale TO the freed |
men, and will, even if passed, probably be |
obnoxious 10 the President.

A STRIKING PARA ALLEL---ANDREW
JOHNSON AND ANDREW JACK
Upon the subject Of the recent speech Of

Upon the subject of the recent speech Of
the President, the New York World says:
Wedo not enter into tho feelings of the fasidious
people who complain that ths Presidents speech
on the I'D wanted dignity. He wal not speaking
as Presidents but as . private CITIZEN. a lew rev
gress arrnigned him for remarks made in private
conversation with Senator Dixon, and was inso-
lent enough TO suggest that the President deserved
beheadng for expressing his opinions. When the
leader of the House of Representatives speaking
in his official capacity, thus denies 70 the Presi
dent the most ordinary rights Of q citizen, he II
justified in practically asserting his rights in
pretty strong form. He Is too strict an observer
Of decorum TO overstep the reserve Of official
forms when speaking rs u public officer; but a.
simple citizen, addressing his fellow-citiIens. he
showed his practical contempt for the Congres-
sional denial of bis right 10 say that his soul y his

The Tennessee Live stock Insurance
Company.

Frem the Gallatin Examiner.l
We have previously alluded 70 the open
ing Of the "Home" office of this company at
this place. and as it is destined TO extend its
operations to every portion of the State and
South, it IL but due to it that a more extended
notice should be made Of its plans and OBJ
jects. 1t is working under an act Of incor-
poration from the Legislature, with a capital
stock of $50, 900, and under the management
of the following officers :-Chas. NJ. Parker,
late Clerk and Master of the Chancery Court,
President; Joseph NJ. Robb, Vice President;
j. III. Conklin, Secretary; Jno w. Head,
former Attorney General Of the State, Gen
eral Agent. The company have the right TO
incsease its capital to $500, 900, As its extern
sion may render necessary. The organiza-
.tion is sound one, and thorough sys-
tenn Of detection has been devised by which
the operations of the company can be rem
dered almost absolutely certain. Ii proposes
to accomplish by systematic organization
that which cannot be done by individual
exertion, and, il il fails, then to indem-
nifty the assured and loser with the casH
All human experience testifes TO the SUI
periority Of organized efforts over single in
dividual enterprise, and this company is de-
signated to fill a want in society long
desired, and TO occupy the same relation 10
the stock interests Of the country which Fire
and Life companies do to their respective
objects. We do not possess any means Of
stating with accuracy the amount Of annual
losses Of stock by theft, but it is undoubtedly
heavy. The dockets Of our courts, which
only exhibit the cases which have been de-
tected, alone, comprise large aggregate Of
crime, while the number OF cases which
wholly escape detection are innumerable
We will not, at the present, mention the
plan by which the company accomplishes
It's objects. 1t is sufficient to state that they
are cunningly devised, but if they
fail, the company planks up the money 20
the party assured This Is all the
public wants. IL the animal stolen
Is not returned within thirty days, the loss is
made good. We may state that all stock
insured is branded ON the right fore hoof,
and that when sold or transferred the buyer
obtains certificate Of transfer from the for
mer owner. Any proposed sale of brand
ed horse without proper papers at once
arouses suspicion and leads TO detection.
There are other features, in the enterprise,
both novel and effective to which il Is not !
necessary to allude. The public may rest
assured that the company is in proper aands.
