THE FREEDMEN's BUREAU.
Important Order by General Howard.
General Howard yesterday issued the following

Important Order by General Howard
General Howard yesterday issued the following
order:
WAR DERARTMESr, bureau Of Refugees, Freedmen
and Abandoned Londs, Washington, May 2l, 1885,
Circular, No. An order to answer numerous in
quries from officers agents and Others and if posi-
bic prevent misunderstanding with regard to the
change Of organization in this Bureau this circular
is issued.
l. The Commissioner recommended, some time
since that the functions of Military Commander of
State and Assistant Commissioner be exercised by
the officer. Wherever practicable, this is being
etfected-as in Virginia and Mississippi. 1t is not
done in condemnation of the Assistant Commission
who have labOred hard and successfully, but to
secure more prompt and effective administration
than otherwise be DONE
II. The Commissioner calls the attention of all Of
icers officially tG th2 reports in circulation as to acts
part as to carelessness in rendering thair month
ly accounts, and other offences. Every officer, or
agent already accused shall have the opportunity of
thorough vlndicatlon before court-martial. But
the occasions for such trials TO be deprecated and
they must be foresaed by thorough system of in
spection and prompt removal OF every untaithful
officer.
III. Special attention is again called to the diff
cult duty of caring for the INDECENT. Where intense
anxiety prevails to get rid Of the Bureau surely State
and county officers will make some arrangement to
relieve the General Government of this heavy ex-
pense. If the county officers, OK pVerseers of the
poor. will adopt the proper measures, the industrial
and Government farms which are now so much com
planned of can be dispensed with.
In order to meet an emergency, when the whole
system of labor was derangcd, the Commissioner
urged the forming of joint companies, the encour-
agement of the immigration Of those accustomed to
free labor, as to afford promptly. many exam
pies as possible. of the successful employment OF
negroes under free system. Apparently in keeping
with these regulations few officers have invested
their means, jointly with citizens, in the plant
ing interest. know of no law or regulation of the
army, of this Bureau against this, yet it will al
most inevitably lead to corruption, it has already
to bitter accusations. Hereafter such investments
within their own jurisdiction, by officers duty in
this Bureau, are strictly prohibited.

they will not. The of the defeat of the Span

twill be remembered that last year Gen. Hashem.
accompanied by Colonel Romero and the United
States Consul at Tunis, Mr.. Perry, paid visit to
this country, and were few days the recipients.
while in Boston, of the hospitalties of Mayor Lin
coin and members of the city council The following
extract from private letter written by Boston
lady now absent abroad gives some interesting de-
tails relating to Gen. Hashem. Writing from Tunis
she says:
Gen. Hashem was so pleased with his visit that
learning that some Americans were here, he first in
vited the gentlemen of the party his house treat
ing them very handsomely, and then he extended
the invitation to the ladies' You must know this is
special attention, as family matters are strictly
secret. Mr.. Perry, though knowing Gen. II. init
mately. was surprised when we told him we had
seen the generals three wives for he did not know
he had more than one. We took French woman as
interpreter for the General speaks only Arabic and
with Mr. Perry's servant and our guide Hamet, we
started; at To-. ,.o.;ro, .. 49,
was in ne00se of crimson satin. He escorted US to
| the principal room. which was magnifcently fur
nished with crimson damask divans and seats where
three beautiful Moorish ladies of perfect COM
plexons, black eyes, and the whtest of teeth and
| with them were two children. The ice was soon
broken, and We complimented them according to the
custom of the country, by touching and admiring
their dresses and bracelets They wore heavy bro
cade yellow satin sacques, which reached to their
knees with blue tin brocade trousers and low-cut
black shoes. The front hair is square with the
lower part of the face; the back hangs intwo long
braids behind tied with long ribbon three-cornered

muslin or blonde lace sleeves, with golden necklace

The elder wife. who always retains her authority,
took her suite of rooms where servant brought

glasses of syrup and water and dish of jelly. After
brief repast servants brought us water in dishes

other suites the last belonging to the stoutest wife
embonpoint being considered sine qua of beauty
We inferred she was favorite. Her rooms were
very elegant adorned with pictures vases, and satin
covered furniture, and the general insisted that we
should be seated while cafe noir was served in the
pretty little Arabian cup. He showed us the photo.
