To the credit of the gantlemanly

WAR DEPARTMENT, BUREAUl
R., F. AND A. L.,
Washington, May q, 1866. J

" Nnrrr @1~NHE
In order 10 answer numerous in
quiries from officers, agents and
others, and II possible prevent mis-
understanding with regard tochange
Of organization in this Bureau, this
circular is issued.
First-The commissioners recon-
mended some time since that the
functions Of the military command
or of the State and Assistant Com
nllssiOnerS be performed by the
same officer; wherever practicable,
this is being effected, as In Virginia
and Mississippi.
Il Is not done in condemnation of
the Assistant Commissioners, who
have labOred hard and succes sfuliy,
but to secure the more prompt en-
forcement Of administration than
can otherwise be done.
SeeOnd-The Commissioner calls
attention to all officers officially to
the reports in circulation as to the
acts of severity and cruelty toward
freedmen on their part.
AS to the carelessness In return
ing their monthly accounts and 9TH
or offences every officer or agent al
ready accused shall have the oppor-
tunity Of a thorough vindication
before q cOurt-martial, but the oc-
casion for such trials are to be de-
precated, and they must be FORE
stalled by a thorough system of in
spectiOn and . prompt removal Of
every unfaithful officer.
Third-Special attention is again
called 10 the difficult duty Of caring
for the INDECENT. Where intense
anxiety prevails to get rid of the
Bureau, surely State aud County
officers viii make some arrange
ments 10 relieve the General Gov
ernment Of this expense. If the
County oiicers will adOptmeasures,
the Government farms which are
now 60 much complained Of, can bo
dispensed with. "
In l6rderto meet an emergency In
which ne whols system Of labor
was defangUd, the Commissioner
urged the forming Of joint. compa-
Hiee for the encouragement of the
emigration Of those accustomed to
ftpe labor, 20 "a TO afford promptly
as many examples as possible Of the
successful employment Of negroes
under a Jffee system. Apparently,
