ten months pay in accordance with reg
ulatiOus Of this Bureau that is, from the
tW6urY-sleOud OF February, eighteen
hundred and sixty-fiye, until the close of
the year-and as evidence of such pay

Respectfully returned. with the iufor-
nation that it is the duty Of Superin-
tendents 70 see that the freedmen are
honestly and fairly paid for all labor per-
formed since the twentv-second Of Feb
ruary, eighteen hundred and siNtv-five-
the day on which they became in this
State legally free. With the couse-
Uuences of freedom 10 white persons. and
the numerous nice questions OF law that
viii arise, they have nothing 10 do.
Whether Mai. Vim. Coward is 10 collect
the 0Ill amount Of the notes, given by =.
A. Thompson, is a question for the civil
courts of Tennessee 10 determine. IL is
precisely similar 20 another question that
has arisen: whether notes given for the
purchase of a slave, or slaves, and not
paid before the tweuty-second of Febru-
AIRY, eighteen hundred and siNty-tive, are
C0liectable. The Circuit Court, in this
city, has decided that thes are; that the
slaves were bought at the risk Of the pur-
chaser, and that he must he the loser.
But that Is a question between white
men, % he determined by the civilcourtS
and can have no possible effect upon the
Freedmen. They are made free, and
must be paid from the dsy oftheir eman-
clpatiou.
