The progress Of reconstruction In the Southern

Congress on the real estate Of the South in
State bonds, or that delay Of paymen, may be

President and the Secretary Of the Treasury

~. JUNCTION, June 20.
The Fre~dme1 tn n '5'',' p.-
General Howard, of the Fr-. ullen Duiesu a.
has Just received a report from s'"P'a,n s' Az
Clark. an Inspector of the Bureau, o. ''s Upel'
lions IN st. Mary's and Calvert counts , Ni"iy
land. Captain Clark reports matters I'M b 'eiy
unsettled condition. The most eneoutas> pH
ature is the fact that considerable nUmoa
of coorcd people residing in the above-ndned
counties are owners and le,sees Of lends.
The wages paid laoorer, are, for women S.
per month for men SIS and S12, with rations
ard quarters. notwithstanding the negroes
work WE'LL yet bitter feeling still exists be.
tween the two races. No schools for tue freed
men have yet been established, the white citi-
zens being unwilling TO countenance them The
most general complaint among the freed people
is concerning the loose manner in which their
children are bound out.
Over 500 children have been apprenticed
since last November, and some planters have
as many as ten children bound TO them. A
Mrs. r. D. Sellars, living in Calvert county, has
three colored children bound TO her, one of
whom she hires out to a doctor, receiving com.
peusation for its services. The provisions of
the Civil Rights bill are entirely disregarded.
Judge William H. Tuck, at the May term of
the Criminal Court of Calvert county, sentenced
five men to be sold into slavery for periods
ranging from six to eighteen months. Isaac
Skinner, one of the five, was charged with
stealing a pocketbook valued at one dollar
He was sentenced to be sold into slavery for
period of one year. Oliver Smith and Ben.
Mackall were charged with stealing a lot of
tobacco aud we're sentenced to be sold into
slavery for term of eighteen months. The
others were charged with similar thetts.
On the 2Sth OF last May the sentences of the
Judges we're carried into effect, the five colored
men put upon the auction block, and sold by
the Sheriff to the highest bidder. skinner was
bought by one John Hotord tor S54. On the
