The Freedmen's Bureau in Florida

MACK" the very intelligent and OBJ
serving correspondent of the Cincinnati
Commercial, has the following in recent
letter from Florida:
While was in Jacksonville a negro
man called on me one night to complain
about the Freedmen's Bureau. He intro
duced himself by saying he supposed l
was from the North, to which respond
ed in the affirmative. "Well," said he,
"de black ones has been lookin' for some
one from de Norf to find out about dis
Bureau here" He then went on to tell
me his grievances, which he said were the
grievances Of all the blacks in Jackson
vile. 1t was impossible, he said, to col
lect debt through the Bureau without
losing more than half of it in costs, and
what he wanted to know was whether
Col. -, (the Bureau agent at Jack
sonville, was paid by the Government,
or was sent down there to "liye off the
blacks" | told him certainly the Gov.
ernment paid every Bureau officer
"Well," said he, Its mighty queer
A man owed me thirty dollars and
wouldn't pay me- l went to the Bureau
and asked them to collect it; they charged
me fifteen dollars for getting witnesses,
and when the case was finished | had
only ten dollars left" He assured me
that his case was no exception-that the
Bureau was constantly extorting money
from the negroes under one pretense or
another; and concluded long tale of
the woes and sufferings of his race by
saying that de black folks is wuss off
under de Bureau dan dey was under sla-
very Personally, Of course, know
nothing Of the truth or falsehood of what
was told to me, but repeated observations
Of the workings Of the Bureau in the
South have convinced me that while with
out some such protection, as it ought to
afford, the negroes would fare badly; so
many abuses exist under it that in many
cases it is source of injury rather than
of benefit to those whom 1t is designed to
shield from wrong and oppression. 1t is
something that needs constant watching
from its principal authorities, lest the
subordlnates who deal directly with the
negroes betray their trust and only pro-
tect the freedman from the unjust ag-
gressions of his former master to make
him the victim of their own selfish pur-
poses. Better no Bureau at all than one
which merely substitutes Northern Gu
pidity for Southern cruelty; and of the
latter l am confident there would be very
little if it were not stimulated, as in a
great measure it is, by the mismanage-
ment Of the Bureau, which, in many in
stances, encourages the negroes to do
wrong.

forcing growth of hair upon the face, it has
no equal. 1t will force the beard to grow up
on the smoothest face in from five to eight

say. how are we to distinguish the genuine
from the spurious? 1t certainly is difficult. as
nine tenths of the different Preparations ad-
vertised for the hair and beard are entirely
worthless. and you may have already thrown
away large amounts in their purchase. To
