REPORTS from Texas recently received by
General Howard, state that the condition Of
the freed people is improving. though great
numbers OF them enjoy no more liberty than
they did during the existence of slavery. The
reports say that an officer of the bureau is
very much needed at Anderson, Angelina,
Houston, Leon, Sabine and Freestnne coun.
ties. Some complaints are received from
freedmen that they are not paid justly. In
all such cases, where the planters have been
found to be in fault, one-hat of their pro-
duce has been seized and held until the
laborers were paid. In other cases, planters
who failed to pay their hands. were smmoned
to appear before the superintendent at an ap-
pointed time, where they are obliged to pay
their hands.
