the kindness Of the intelligent people Of the South;
they regarded them as their friends, and had had
no complaints to make Of them, excepting OF 9
certain class in the cities whom they denominated
''roughs."
Judge Law spoke at considerable length. He
said the great desideratum at the present time is
the maintenance Of kindly feeling between tho
two mutually dependent classes; whatever tended
to produce the contrary state Of things was dele
terious and would cause "delay in the return Of
prosperity" The happiness OF the country de-
pends on their coming together ia their mutual
relations. There Was difference In their condi-
tions, social aud natural: We cannot expect an
o5teration Of this difference at once il ever but
mutual interests would inevitably bring them into
the kindly relations which had always existed
heretofore.
As for the results Of the operations Of the Bu-
reau, he knew only what his former seryants had
contracts, to wait for the Government land
bounties; and the consequence was that while he
and his neighbors had fifty or eeventy-ave acres
Of rice planted instead Of 400 500 eores. ss fr-
| merly, Northern men in the same neighborhood
had from 500 to 1000 acres under cultivation. with
plenty Of laborers. He mentioned tbs to show
that the Southern people would be compelled from
interest TO treat the freedmen we'll Meanwhile
| they should not be prejudiced against their old
masters nor the latter infamed against them by
outside pressure. Mutual dependence would
establish the true relations between the races Il
they were left to themselves. But the Bureau had
produced alienation on account OF the distinction
| which it made.
|. Gen. Fullerton inquired II any one knew OF any
instance Of malfeasance on the part Of any ofH-
GERS OF the Bureau such as accepting bribee
working plantations, demanding reoompense for
procuring laborers for planters, DO. There was
no response to this interogatory.
After this general conversation enaued, the
conclusions reached being that the tendency o.
the Freedmen's Bureau was mischievous in reoog
nizing the whites a. the enemies Of the blacks
and that II it we're withdrawn the responsibility
felt by the people TO protect and csre Tor the
| freedmen would bel ncreased.
The commission, after completing the investi
gstion of Bureau affairs In this vicinity will pro
ceed at oncs TO Augusta, lesving probably th
evening.
