The Freed M ems Bureau.

It has been already mentioned that
Generals Steedman and Fullerton
had been sent South by President
Johnson, for the purpose of investi-
eating the operations of the Freed
mems Bureau, and reporting upon
the social and political status Of the
Southern States. They arc repre-
sented as being fair-minded and cour-
teous gentlemen, who will give n true
and faithful account Of the condition
Of affairs at the South. Their mere
appointment by President johnson is
sufficient evidence that he has conf
dence i'll their honesty and sincerity.
They have probably arrived at Will
mington, N. c., by this time.
The Fortress Monroe correspond
ent of the Norfolk Fnyinian writes
the following:
II have been given to understand,
on good authority, that the opinion
formed by these commissioners is,
that the Freedmens Bureau ought to
be Immediately and universally abo-
lished, If its maoaus operandi is SINH
larly conducted, and productive of
similar results as characterizes the
administration of its affairs in this
District. From it's control over the
negro population, now over-crowding
the lands of the Peninsula, and the
false teaching of many of the officers
lof too radical proclivities, holding
important positions, and exercising
an almost monarcbical influence in
its jurisdiction, must be attributed
the growing evils of laziness, vice,
theft, and host of other unmitigated
annoyances which are daily becoming
more and more alarming
There is little doubt but if the
freedmen i'll many localities were not
interfered with, they would do much
better than they do under the admin
istration of the Bureau The States
being restored, we think the utility
of the Bureau will have passed away

MIR. Orth las introduced into the
United States House Of Representa-.
tvcs Joint resolution which, in view
OF the present and prospective trou-
hirs of onr sister republics on this
continent, assumes more than an or
binary importance. 1t provides that
the Secretary OF War and the Secre-
tary OF the Navy be authorized and
instructed, under the direction of the
President, to sell and transfer, in
such number and quantity rs they
may deem advisable, any of the vcs-
sells, arms and munitions of war be-
longing to the United States, to any
Government on the American CONT
nent holding diplomatic relations
with the United States, and to receive
payment therefor in coin or in the
bonds of such Government. This
resolution is supposed to have refer

peling Maximilian.

sSs The New York. pspers of Thursday
say that. the cholera SIS. still raging
with undated yigor ON board the
hospital ship. Notwithstanding the
efforts of the medical attendants OH
board the Illinois, the disease con-
tipues every now and then to attack
sol he one Of the passengers, and. in
consequence, a boat is kept constant
ly plying between the hospital ship
and this vessel in readiness to carry
of the ts'new cases" Seven new
cases occurred on board the Illinois
on Wednesday. ...-r
Mr.. Reardon, one of the party who
volunteered to go ON board the Eng
land at Halifax, has since sickened
and died Of the cholera; and DR..
John Slater health officer of the
port of Halifax, who also volunteered
to attend the sick on board the ship,
has fallen a victim to the disease.
The Herald, of the 2Sth, says the
cholera is abating at the Lower Qua
rantine, and no new cases have been
admitted on board the hospital ship
since the last report of the Deputy
Health Officer.

The New Programme.

The telegraph announces the new
programme of tho Reconstruction
Committee. OF course, the meagre
sketch given by a telegram is scarcely
sufficient to warrant any lengthy com
ments. According to the heads given
in the despatch, this proposition is
simply what correspondents of news
papers have already foreshadowed-
giving equal protection by law to all ;
representation according to the num-
Der of voters in each State; repudia-
ton of the Southern war debt, &c.
But the most important feature of
the report is the disfranchisement of
every male Southern citizen from
voting for members of Congress and
Presidential electors; that is, no per-
son can vote in such elections who
voluntarily adhered to the late insur-
rection, or gave it aid and comfort.
This is more sweeping than the test
oath now requisite to hold office
under the United States Government.
President johnson will squelch such
bill if it shonld pass Congress.
They have said nothing about ne
gro suffrage, thinking, probably, that
by not insisting upon this, they
might rope in to the support Of the
measure some stray conservatives,
and possibly obtain the sanction of
the Executive. But we predict tha,
a measure embracing such an absurd
proposition ms that alluded to above
will be failure.

Rico Culture.


The subject of labor for the pro-
duotion of rice is attracting much
attention both South and North
Rice is great staple of the world,
and the prevailing opinion, even here
where the experience of many years
have contributed to the formation OF
that opinion-is that white laborcan-
not be made available on the rice
fields of the South.
Newspapers in the Northern as well
as the Southern States have been
discussing the feasibility of intro
ducing coolies for the special purpose
Of eultivating rice. A year or two
will decide whether any reliance can
be placed upon the freed negro labor
in raising rice. The Norfolk Ni,'-
Si,,iaaa goes in for the introduction of
cooie labor. 1t says:
''The malaria of the rice fields is
fatal to the Caucasian, and no more
certain death can be incurred than
that which follows exposure on the
great plantations Of the Pee Dee and
Savannah after dark. It is equal to
prussic acid-9ot SO swift, but as in-
falible:
''There is race, however, which
can be made available for rice cul-
ture, and it will not be until the
: Orient has been made tributary to
our necessities that this great staple
can again be grown to any considera-
bic extent. The coolies are the
people who can do this work; who
can stand the climate; who will do it,
and gladly too, for o compensation
far below that of half the crop, which,
to them. would be what the posses
sion of Aladdin's lamp or roc's egg
would have been to us-the reaiza-
ton of 8 fable-the substantiation of
magic. They are Injured to burn
ing sun; they are docile, and easily
subsisted. Contracts could be made
for theirimportation."
So far as we have heard from the
rice country, and this opinion is for
tilted by the observation OF DIR.
Irving, who recently visited the plan
tations, that the freed labor cannot
be relied OH for the production of
anything like full crop of rice. We
also learn that similar condition of
things exists in our neighboring
States of Georgia and North Carolina
This condition may improve as our
political relations get more settled,
but it might be well to prepare for
the worst, and at least make the ex-
pertinent in coolie labor.

aroused by the cry Of fire, and went into

could not get within twenty feet Of the

Will be mado immediately for proper
