The Freedmen's Bureau.

We are 100 much restricted in space to
allow the publication in full of the final
report of Generals Steadman and Fuller
ton, upon the condition and practical
working of the Freedmen's Bureau in the
Southern States The report is replete
with interesting statements of facts, that
are surely sufficient to convince the most
scepticaI advocate of the Bureau, that it
has not only long ago ceased to be of any
practical benefit to any one whatever, eX-
cept dishonest Bureau officers and their
partners in speculations, but that its con-
tinuance in nearly every locality in the
South, is positive curse to both whites
and blacks The Commissioners have
made honorable mention Of the honesty
and efficiency Of the very few officers Of
The Bureau who were found entitled to
such commeudation but for the most
part-in fact, in nine-tenths of the cases
inyestigated-the Commissioners have
been compelled to report a criminal reck-
Iessncss in the transaction of business, or
positive and APPALLING frauds upon both the
Government and the freedmen.
The report shows, beyond cavil, that
whatever Of good there may have been in
the original establishment of the Bureau,
it has long ceased 20 be useful, and has
degenerated into a simple instrument for
the enrichment of unscrupulous agents
1t is shown to have become a pregnant
source Of local strife, serious obstacle
to the social advancement and self-de-
pcndence Of the freedmen, and generally
a means Of imposing upon them system
of oppression infinitely worse and more
onerous than the slavery from which,
through the fire and carnage of civil war,
they have been emancipated.
This statement Of the condition of the
Bureau IS calmly and dispassionately
made by officers peculiarly competent to
form correct Judgment in the premises.
The careful perusal Of their report must
carry conviction to the mind Of every
honest friend Of the freedmen, that the
Giscontinuance of the Bureau is impera-
lively demanded by every consideration
7 of right justice and humanity. It was
already apparent to every true lover OF
Z
ness, that the institution had become a
frightful incubus upon the Government, a
source of plunder to greedy and dishonest
officials, and curse more withering than
slavery itself to all classes of people ii
the South, without distinction Of color
but particularly TO the Freedmen, whose
benefit IS made the pretoxt for the main.

of cattle belonging to the ranchman, one
mile from the fort, have been driven off
by the Indians; also, that they have

IMPORTANT Postal CHANGES The
law Of Congress, approved June 18th,
1866, and which went into operation on
the 1st inst, makes several important
changes which we note below:

order to return, if not called, are returned
to the writer free Of charge-such let
ters have been charged three cents hereto
fore.
2. Letters forwarded from one post Of
fee to another are not charged additional
rates Of postage, and are returned to the
writer from the dead letter Office free of
charge. Heretofore letters forwarded
were charged a single rate Of postage from
each post office from which they were
forwarded to him from the dead letter
Office.
3. The sum for which money orders
can DO issued has been raised from $50
to $50, and the rate hereafter charged
will be 10 cents for all orders under $50,
and 20 cents for all over $50 and under
$50. Also, that any money order shall
be valid and payable when presented to
the deputy postmaster on whom it is
drawn within one year after its date, but
for no'longer period, and in case of the
loss of a money order, a duplicate thereof
shall be issued without charge, on the ap-
plication of the remitter or Payee, who
shall make the required proofs and post

hereby authorized and required to admin
lister to the applicant or applicants, in
such cases, the required oath or aflirma-

A GEARY FIzzLE.-On THURSDAY week
Geary meeting was held in Shipaens

no speaking was had until the eymin-,
when a small crowd was present TO hear
Geary "speak little piece Of some
twenty minutes in length. Our informant
assures US that there was not the slightas.
enthusiasm, and that Geary's speech in
blackguardism and want of sense was on
par with that delivered by him at York.
Compare that meeting with the meeting At
fredericksburg III the same county, if you
wish TO know how the masses are feeling
and thinking. The rumor prevails exten-
sively that Geary is to be Withdrawn IN
favor Of some man who can make de-
cent appearance before the people of Pcn8-

the Republican party are convinced that
his nomination was terrible political

THE TARIFF.-The new tariff law,
which goes into effect, according to a de
cision of the Secretary of the Treasury,
on Friday, August 10th, and not the 1st
Of August, as heretofore reported, besides
specifically advancing the duties on cigars
and all articles into which spirits enter,
increases the advalorum duties on all kinds
of goods, by adding to their value. At
present these duties are calculated upon
the actual cost Of the goods, but the new
law provides that to the actual cost IN de-
termining the value shall be added "the
cost Of transportation, shipment and
traushipment, with all expenses included.
From the place Of growth, production or
manufacture, whether by land or water,
to the vessel in which shipment is made
TO the United States; the value of the
sack, box, or covering Of any kind in
which such goods are contained commits
sion al the usual rate, but in no case less
than two and a half per centum ; broker
age, export duty and all other actual or
usual rates for putting up, preparing and
packing for transportation or shipment. -
The only exception to this rule is 'Iong
eombed carpet woods, costing 2 cents or
less per pound, unless the charges added
shall carry the cost above y cents, in
which case one cent per pound is to be
levied.

Resignation Of the Chairman Of the

GENTLEMEN After a careful review of
the political situation of the country, l
feel that justice alike to you and myself

man of the Republican Union State Cen

Professional engagements rendered it
impracticable for me to be present at your

made for State Convention. Soon after
the call was published / wrote to James
p Root, Esq, Secretary of the Commit
tee, pointing out what L regarded as an
Objectionable restriction, whereby a large
portion of the Republican voters Of Hi
nois were excluded from participation
in the Convention.
The manifest design of that call was
70 exclude those who approved the Presi-
dents plan of restoration, and to include
only those who approved the Congression
al plan Of reconstruction AS between
the two plans | am entirely in favor Of
the Presidents and against the Congress
ional The former ignores secession and
assumes that State once in the Uniou
cannot voluntarily go out, nor be involun
tariy thrust out by Congress-the latter
denies the right Of States to secede, but
assumes that Congress may ratify secess-
ion by holding States as conquered PROV
