The Freedme ems Bureau Bill.

The New York Commercial Adrertiser,
one of the ablest conservative repub-
lican newspapers m the country, gives
its opinion of the Freedmen's Bureau
Bill as follows:
The new Bureau may spend hun
dreds of millions, and the bill gives
unlimited power of expenditure to the
Secretary of War in the issue of sup
plies. A leak, like q crevasse, is made
in the Treasury.
The phrase dependant on the Gov
eminent for support" prevades the
whole bill like miasma, and for such
freedmen and refugees" there is
spread table amply supplied with
food; there is opened a warehouse
stored with clothing, while schools
and asylums take up the American
citizen of African descent, already fit
for freedom and suffrage, and put him
through the curriculum of the alpha
bet, the three RS, the humanities, and
the use of the globes, or foster and
coddle him in the most approved
eleemosynary manner. Why is not
the white man also made a ''man
and a brotherp" Certainly if the
schemes of the Freedmen's Bureau are
to be carried out, the relief and edu-
cation should come from the State
concerned, and not from the Federal
Government. Far better and more
rational would be the aid of voluntary
associations. The War Department,
has no more call to instruct negro
in the Everglades than it has in the
Five points, and if the colored mar
ever expects to be anything more thar
a ward or a waif, he would do well tt
resent the interference. We do no
wish to be misunderstood. We advo
cate all rights for all and demand en-
tire equality before the law for thu
black man and entire abrogation o
all laws based on race. caste or color
For this reason we repudiate and op
pose this special legislation for tn
negro, as we would repudiate and op
pose special Legislation for any colo
or race, and we ask only common
sense view Of the relations of the free
negro TO the Government and 10 hi

AGRICULTURAL CONVENTION. The Ex-
ecutive Committee of the Michigan
State Agricultural Society have called
convention Of all citizens of the
State, interested in agricultural affairs
to be held at the city of Jackson on
Wednesday, the 2lst day Of Febru-
airy, 1866. The convention is expect
ed to be held for three days, during
which the following subjects will be
brought before it for consideration:
/. Sheep breeding and wool grow
ing, including all subjects connected
with this great interest, and especially
those connected with the improvement
of the hocks Of the State
9. Cattle and Stock breeding. The
relations of neat stock to tho farm,
and the experience of farmers in using
them to ameliorate and improve land.
3. The economical use of pasture
and grass lands, and their relation to
the Successful and profitable growth
of wheat and other grain crops, to-
a-nthnr with tha;r ,.-~:.~..el ;,anyova-
ment by means of drainage, ditching,
top dressing and other work.
4. The orchard and its treatment,
and the general subject of fruit grow
ing throughout the State.
The Supt. of the Michigan Central
Railroad Company, has consented to
pass all citizens to and from jackson,
attending the Convention, at half fare.
1t is to be hoped Saginaw County
will be represented in this convention
if for no other purpose than to dispel
in measure the too prevalent notion
that weAhave no agricultural interests
worthy of respect or attention. We
publish the notice in the hope that
our leading agricu'turalists will take
the matt, into consideration and so ar
ranue that some of their nuuahar will
surely attend.

The CINcINNATI Commercial (Rep.
states the position of the Radicals as
follows:
The policy of Charles Sumner and
Thad. Stevens, which the radicals are
all braying it is treason to oppose,
comes to this-that in the States late
ly in rebellion, the whites shah be dis
franchised and the blacks enfranchis-
ed; that these States shall not be
admitted to the privileges of the Union
until their governing the class is black.
This is the actual issue the crazy,
hairy, headlong fantics are trying to
force upon the country, and which
they are not loudly but deeply cursing
the President for opposing. while they
are hypocritically fawning upon him,
and vociferously protesting that it
must be impossible that he can disa-
gree with them, for they are the only
opponents of the immaculate in poll
tics, and the authorized expounders of
law and gospel, vested with the exelu-
sive prerorgative of separating the
sheep from the goats in this world.

The TERRIBLE Hoo DISEASE. Hon.
w. w. Murphy, of Jonesville in. this
State, now Consul-Gencral of the
United States at Frankfort-on-the-
Main, in recent letter in speaking of
the hog disease says: "We have a
disease here among the hogs that Gre
ates great CONSERVATION, which the
Germans call Tryschenen. 1t is lit
tie insect which is, perhaps, swallowed
by the hogs, and gets into their stom-
achs, and seems to propagate there
by millions. 1t follows the muse les
of the animals particularly. 1t is SO
small as TO be hardly seen by the
naked eye; but we have them exhib-
tied under a microscope of six nun
dred magniiying power. There are
all sorts of rumors of deaths of per-
sons eating pork. The disease has
not come within one hundred miles of
us.
The little insects are reported by
some to exist in the lower part of the
sugar beet which is fed to hogs
Some of these insects have been
thrown into ali sorts of chemicals and
lived in them. They have been found
alive in bold ham where the hot water
Germany you are aware that ham is
eaten quite raw. Death is reported
to have been caused by eating sausage
when the insect was living, the meat
not having been sufficiently smoked.
The disease commences in the human
being with q severe cholera morbus,
which soon results in death. Some
allege that the cholera that has been
reported was the result of this disease.
AT any rate pork is now very cheap
and is only eaten by poor people. All
other meats have rizen largely in con-
sequence. Our city authorities have
appointed a commission of dozen
scientific gentlemen to investigate it,
Professor Vircher of Berlin, the cello
brated scholar, has made many ex-
periments, and SO have other scientific
men. They differ much in their con-
illusions. 1t is ruinous thing to the
farmers, who raise PORK in that neigh
borhood very extensively. i think the
disease was first known last winter,

BLAsPHEMY RUN RIOT.

BLASPHEMY KUN RIOT.
In the Rochester BoeJdchter, of jan
uary 9Th, occurs the advertisement
filling whole column, of Turner'S
Masked Ball and Carnival Festival, to
take place in that city. The adver-
tisement indicates, as does the title, a
scene of extravagant merriment, in
Guiding harlequins and buttons, and
especially a character called Bedini,
2nd, who bears prominent part in
the mock solemnity and farce. In the
Second Part occurs this scene Of hor-
rible blasphemy:
GREAT LoRD's SUPER (AbendmahD
PoLoNAIsE.
After this, the distribution of the
Lords Supper to all religious sects,
nationalities, and old and young COM
municants.
The conservation, if the same shall
be desired, will be held by Bedini.

as this translation. King Gambrinus

After the Lords Supper (NatehmahD
has been partaken of by all, dances

is it possible that blasphemy should
90 farther than this-the turning of
that solemn ordinance, dear to all
Christian hearts, which commentaries
the sacrifcial death of the Son Of God,
into the grossest ribaldry and farce?
1t is little relief to be assured by q
well-informed German that this out
rageous proclamation will be as shock
ing to Germans generally as it is to
Americans. Do they not owe it to
themselves to repsdiate with scorn and
horror this blasphemy of their coun-
trymen? We used to have, and we
think have now, statute in this State
Furnishing blasphemy. Indeed, the
courts Of New York have punished
blasphemy as an offence at common
law. These Turner's may be infdels, if
they choose. They are responsible for
that TO God. But infdelity becomes
a civil offence when it shocks the de-
cencies Of society by public exhibit
ton which outrages the moral sense
of the COMMUNICATIONS Paper.
II is fact worthy of attention even
i'll this season Of general heedlessness
this time, as they have had for some
years, complete control of this country,
are, New England Puritanism, of "the
most straightest sect" and the worst
phase of Red Republican, Hair-lipped
German Infdelty; most infamous
yet not altogether unnatural alliance,
like one of poetic imagining, where
And every creature couples with its foe"
Yet these work together tremendously
for the common purpose of keeping
the States discovered, discordant,
belligorent until plan can be de-
vised which will, by constitutional
provision and statutory enactment Sc
cure permanently in power the cohorts
of radical republicanism, their heirs
and assigns forever. The "sober, Sec
ond thought OF the people, which is
always right" will by and by take
cognizance of these matters and then
will come regeneration which will
sweep away at once and forever these
elements of discord, fac
ton and fanaticism.
