ment of the Carelinas, having insisted
that district commanders should report
directly to him Of the Freedman's Bu-
reau as we'll as the Military affairs.

His appeal was sustained by Generals
Grant and Howard, which establishes
the fact that the bureau is still dis

rection of the War Department, and.its
officers and agents being subject to only
ters pertaining to the bureau, they
cannot be required to report on sach
matters to military commanders, unless
they are named in the orders agents OF
the bureau. The within instructions Of
General Howard are therefore approved.

As the Legislature and Convention

fering among both whites and blacks,
in various portions of the State is being
gradually relieved
