THE FREEDMEN's BUREAU AND
THE NEGRO.

From the report Of the proceedings of
meeting of freedmen, which was recently held
near Old Point, and which has been extern
sively copied by the press, North and South,
it would seem that our colored brethren in
this neighborhood. have ignored the advice and
experimenting efforts of the Freedmen's Bu-
reau, and have thrown themselves upon their
own resources, and the aid and comfort of the
Peppers and the Baynes -t tF
These freedmen are either the wards of
the Government" as are the Indians, or they
are not They can either be moved from
State to State, or from Territory to Territory,
like the Indians, or they cannot be so moved.
They have ignored the authority of the Gov
eminent to move them, in the instance we
have mentioned above, and hence they must
revert, as other citizens, to the jurisdiction
of the State Laos. In this, is their safety and
refuge from a1nihilation, and the sooner the
fact is recognized at Washington, the better il
will be for all parties concerned

is the conclusion that strikes this gentleman
who is seeking to cast bis lot with us Why,
that if Norfolk is such a miserable one-horse
town as to be unable to do such job printing
as the specimens before him, it's not the place
for him to invest his money in commercial or
any other kind of pursuits. He, if an intel
ligent man, appreciates the full meaning of
the words, "The Art Preservative," and con-
cludes if that master art is at so low an ebb
here, it is no place for him. And who throws
this stumbling block in the way of our city's
prosperity Why, the very gentlemen who
should seek to remove distractions of all
kinds from the path to our city's progress.
We consider this matter of sending Job
work abroad as stab to the character and
reputation of our craft" What customer
from the country, coming here to get job
printing done, and seeing what our bank Off
GERS and others are doing in that line, but
would be induced to send his work off North
also and who could blame him, when he has
such high authority as bank officers to guide
him +? How can we appeal for custom to
people from the surrounding country, while
our banks and some of our merchants, are
setting them the example to have their work
done at the North
We suggest to these gentlemanly bank off
GERS that, possibly they are using two-edged
sword in fostering such notions in our people
as it might occur to them one of these days
that it is absolutely necessary for us to send
North and get officers to fill the positions in
our banks that they now fill, rather to the
detriment of the interests of our industrial
branches

the dissensions in our own ranks weakened US
a little in some localities In most of the town
ships, however, the Republicans made a very
clean record. In localities where the opposing
candidates lived, as was expected they run
ahead of their ticket The contest was bitterly
fought on both sides and gloriously won by the
Union men. The democrats can not complain
that their full strength was not out. They poll
ed every vote within their control. including the
deserters. They had in hand their whole party
strength and they had the benefit Of every vote
they were entitled to. On the other hand,with-

seemed disposed TO create dscord, and to such
an extent had this been carried on, that many
votes We're lost to us entirely N the township
