How many households in Texas

But to my journey. | never once

So uncertain, so unsatisfactory
and so bewidering was the state OF
affairs in every section went to,
that the negro wants to get back
again to his "chagrined and lifelong
enemy"
AS the doctors bill, sustenancc
for his family and clothing forsame,
come up before him, and his own
prodigal taste leads him to waste his
money, he secs the end Of the year
drawing nigh, and old age creeping
on, and yearns for the good old days
of "Massa and Missus." D"
1t is strange that the frequent
murder Of these creatures did not
come under my notice. | think that
the murders must have been cXag-
gerated.
1t was noticeable and redeem
ing fact that the absence Of the
Agent of the Bureau was the surest
indication Of a good crop.
Where these agents went, in most
cases, they were worse than the ar-
my worm; for that destroys the cot
ton only, but the former not only
detroys the cotton but the peace and
happiness of whites and blacks.
Is this assertion unjust? | appeal
to the planters Of Texas?

ry which his comrades have accord.
cd to him he should prize, and his
wounds, if he received them in a
fair fight, and not while engaged in
burning houses, and stealing silver
spoons, and ARTICLES dies bejoux, he
should be proud of, for he received
them while discharging what he
thought was his duty; but let him
not tarnish his name by accepting
or applying for situation in an in
stitution which his President (sus.
tanned bv his idOliZcd leader, Gen
Grant, disapprovcs,-an institution
which has become such stencil in
the nostrils Of the public as to be
styled ~ nuisance" Rather retire
to private life and occupy the hum
blest station than live dctestcd by
whites and diStruSted By blacks
Patience, endurance, and Il desire
TO put up with this annoyance and
neglect, to bear all, if possible, is
the ann of the great mass Of those
met on my trip. TO keep their part
of the contract between themselves
and the freedmen is the determine
ton Of the planter, who feels that
all cases of dispute may safely b,
entrusted to the Judiciary. To crown
all, late order has been received
that the farmer must haul his cot
ton to some designated place in his
county, no matter what distance, tc
have it assessed. You farmers Of H.
linois, New York and Ohio, how
would you liko to haul your grain
hay, eggs, etc, to your county seat
and have it assessed before you OBJ
tanned permission to sell it, or if you
object to hauling, have to pay the
travelling expenses of Il deputy tt

THE ASSUMPTIONS OF POWER.

One Of the pending propositions in Con-
gress is bill to create National Bureau Of
Education. So bold and reckless are the
usurpations which have recently character
lied the legislative department at Washing
ton, that Mr.. PIKE of Maine, (himself a
Radical, has taken the alarm; add thus
in a few words, in recent debate in Con-
gress, exposes the reckless tendency of that
body:
81 ask whether it is not better that the
States of the Union should be left to have
something TO do? We have bills TO reor-
ganize the railroad system of the United
States. We have serious proposition that
all the telegraphic wires shall center here,
and shall be under the control of the Post
master General. And here we have, in
addition, scheme of Governmental control
of all the common schools.
"The gentleman from Massachusetts, Mr.
BANKs) says it is merely an initiatory mea-
sure. He means by that, suppose, that
this measure, which commences in criticism
upon the public schools of the country,
shall end in making direct appropriations
for that purpose. l think he said something
about the Government undertaking the edu-
cation of all the freedmen of the country.
If they would confne their efforts to that,
should not be so much opposed as l am TO
this measure. But now we have the initia-
ton of system. At another time it will
be more fully developed. The school-houses
of the country will go under the control of
the General Government. Churches, / sup
pose, are to follow next. So, taking the
railroads, telegraphs, school-houses, and
churches, it would seem Congress would
leave little to us but our local taxation and
our local pauperism. If they would take
them too, do not know as would object
''But / submit, in all seriousness, that
these matters Of education had better be left
to the States where they are much more eco
nomically managed, and where they proper
Nv belong"
