and that they must not be found on the
premises on the following morning; but rs
they had over five months pay due them,
they seemed inclined to stay until they
could obtain the same.
The injured parties went Immediately to
the registrars and made known their case,
as tile agent of the bureau at this place is a
man IN whom they have no confidence, as
he appears to take more interest in the
planters than in the freedmen. In this
case he told the men that if they
persisted in going at that time he
would see that they should not get the
money due them for the hard labor they had
performed. He further told them that they
were getting those papers only for their
own ruin-meaning the certificate Of regis
tratiOn.
1t is indeed painful to see an officer of the
United States government so fallen from mis-
high estate as to become the champion OF
those who so lately strove to overthrow our
glorious nation at the expense of those help
less ones he is employed to protect. 1t is
high time such cases were looked to, as this
kind of conduct has become so common
that it is in the mouth of nearly every one.
The registration of this parish is going on
quite briskly at present. The number regis
tered so far is l069 out of which number
there are pa white persons.

l have recently noticed two articles in
your paper from this benighted parish

matter of much speculation, but there is no
denying that he is knowing TO the many out

Willauer, of the freedmen's bureau, was
Justly due that official, and great pity it
was not given sooner. Already has that
official awakened to a sense of his duty, and
peniteurly repenting the negligence of his
past duty, ready and willing is he now to
hear and act on the complaints of the
freedman. | understand he has already
made considerable concessions to the
| aggrieved parties. 1t is to be hoped his
future course may be in accordance with
| his new promises.
The recently enfranchised citizens have
organized several Republican clubs in this
| parish, and much credit is due them for their
indefatigable labor in the great work toward
reconstruction. They all appear to enter
tain the right views as to who are their
friends, and irrcfutable arguments do
many who are not able to read advance in
support of their views.
The weather for the past week has been
warm and dry, such as the planters were
much in need of, and vegetation is putting
forth very rapidly, and many are the in.
quiries for additional laborers with liberal
wages offered which, by the way, is as
clear a demonstration of the argument of
the Southern planter being the .colored
mans best and only friend AS the water OF
the river which flows by this place.
