FROM THE SEA ISLANDS

The Acting Assistant Commissioner NJ
Freedmens Affairs, Oh Wadmalaw Island IN
his report for the month of June. gives a much
more encouraging account Of the condition q,
the freed-people on the Sea Islands than have
lately found their way to the public. He
thinks that all who are able TO work viii,
make enough during the present year to com.
fortably clothe and support them until they
can make new contracts for the ems uinp wear
Many of them will make from four TO eight
hundred dollars if no accident happens to the r
crops, and about one half OF them will in ad .
dition TO their cotton crop, raise provisions
enough to support their families during the
next year. As general rule the freedmen are
working for one-half the cotton and the
whole OF the provision crop. tnouab
there are number of contracts made ON
each of the Islands that give them still better
terms. In the past spring there was m ch hos.
tile feeling evinced towards each other nv
both whites aid blacks, but no " the plan 70 rs
show disposition TO treat the freedmen with
just consideration, and the latter are softening
IN their feelings towards the planters, con yers
ing with them freely, and taking their advice
with regard 10 planting. There are abont 2no
Old and crippled freedmen and orphan chill
dren on EdIsto, wadmelaw, Johns, and James
Islands, who sho uld be cared for by the State
A few ratiOns have been issued to these peo-
pie, but in order to avoid subsi.ting those who
were not deserving of 1t, it was found neces
sary TO require the other freedmen TO supnort
them this season.

INCONSISTENCY

The restoration policy of the Administration
How does their own record stand For four
years they urged vigorous prosecution of the
war TO restore the Union, but at the close of
hostilities suddenly changed their tactics, and
opposed the admission OF the Southern States
until certain conditions were complied with,
ore OF which was the adoption of negro suf-
1rage- They stood by this principle only until
they found longer persistence would weaken

Treasury at once million of dollars, and en- :
tails upon our heavily taxed people an addi-
tional annual burden. We might multiplv
these instances of glazing inconsistency, but
shall content ourselves with a reference 10

10 the position OF the excluded States which,
says the New York Times, lat one time thew
have treated as States, at another as Terrific
Tiesi as States when appealed to in their SOW
ereign capacity TO ratIfy a Constitutional
Amendment, as Territories when refusing to
recognize their constitutional right to repre-
sentation." The Commercial AIrertiser retorts
BY saying THE President has acted with
equal or even greater inconsistency"
Now, the President has this excuse: His
course has been forced upon him IN conse-
quence OF the anomalous condition of the
southern States, which could be restored to
their practical relations to the Union only by
the proper action of Congress, to the necessity
for which he repeatedly called their atten
ton. The admission OF the southern States
would afford instant remedy for many of the
troubles which still distract the country. Had
l.ouisiana been State in the Union, there
would have been NO riot at New Orleans.
