A Reason Why the FIeedmen's Bureau
Should Not be Abolished.

"WILMIEGToN, n. c., January 23.-The Sampson
County Court arrested negro on the charge of
drawing pistol on white man, and sentenced
him to be sold into servitnde. Major WICKER
SHAM, of the FIeedmen's Bureau of this District
ordered the Court, and all the parties concerned,
to be placed under arrest in this city.
''The matter will be Immediately investigated
THE most cogent argument that can be
adduced in opposition to the dscontinuance
of the Freedmen's Bureau is furnished by
the dispatches we give above and similar
one from Raleigh, in the same State, what
appeared probable two weeks since. The
mere evidence of fact is much more effective
than any syllogism erected upon theory
While. therefore, Governor WORTH is assuring
us that the State courts will do full justice to
the blacks, and that the existence of a semi
civil, semi-military system is detrimental to
the advancement Of the Commonwealth,
more truthful debater than even an ex-Rebel
Governor tells us that if State court is will
ing to sell into serVitude, in direct opposition
to the supreme law Of the land, a negro for
drawing a pistol on a white man, who may
have been rutfian maltreating him, then, under
such condition of society, we cannot, we dare

blacks from slavery unto freedom, and having
induced them into the belief that, having given
them liberty, we would guarantee it to them and
their posterity, it would be an act of criminal
treachery did we now abandon them, inexpe-
rienced and helpless, at the mercy of those who
look upon them only as so much capital sunk in
a bad investment If there was no other
reason afforded for the continued maintenance
of this motley creature, half soldier and half
civilian, than the one given in the briet
despatch we quoted, that in itself would be
enough to induce us to favor an even more
vigorous system for the protection of black
industry and black lives. The feeling in the
South among the better classes is in favor Of
accepting Mr.. JoHNsoN's policy in good faith
and acting in accordance with the new sur
roundings; but the better class Of the late
