OTTAWA FREE TRADER: SATURDAY. AUGUST 81. 1857

SPECIMEN OF BUREAU JUsTICE--The
Nashville Union says that the State law of
Tennessee requires all abe-bodied men In a
road district to work on the roads in their
respective districts certain number of DAYS.
In obedience to this law the negroes in Shell.
by county were called upon TO perform their
proper work on the roads, but they refused to
do so. and appealed to the Freedmcn's Bureau
to sustain them in their refusal to obey the
law. The officers of the Bureau actually sus-
tanned the negroes in their illegal course and
decided that they should only be compelled
to work the roads about their own property.
Brownlow's election law DISTINGUISHES eight
tenths of the white men who are compelled to
work the roads, and the Bureau, which the
people Of the North sustain at vast expense.
cxempts negroes who do nearly all the voting
from working the roads. This is a specimen
of Bureau justice. The negroes and the bond
holders are a privileged class; they use the
roads which are kept up at other peoples ex-
pense

RED TAPE ILLusrRArED.-A Prussan officer,

RED TAPE IILusTRATED.-AP russian officer
inspecting military post found sentry leisure,
~ walking his beat before dilapidated ana
empty store-houso No one could give him any
information as to why the sentinel was. there
except that it was 'custom of the post His
curiosity being aroused he examined the records
Of the war Office, and in an old report dated 1870
wears before found that once the door OF that
store-housc had been painted, and guard placed
there to warn persons of the wet paint. The
officer in charge ordered away, and the store
house guard became traditionary and punctu-
ally performed duty Of the post. ..
This auecaotc is matched by one that is told OF
the English service. Many years ago dctach-
ment Of troops was ordered to some out-oi-the-
way place in india and requisition was nude
for clothing and medicines for tho use OF the
soldiers In short time thepost was broken up,
but as the orders for supplies had not been ooun-
fernandez they were sent regularly every year,
for rood portion of II century in perfect official
oblivion Of The TACT that thero were no troops

ALABAMA.-The registration of Alabama is
completed and foots up So PAS black voters to
,2,14, whites. 1t seems to be the settled pur-
pose Of the whites in that as well as other
southern states to let the blacks have at least
all the Congressman. Their intention is,
probably, to make negro suffrage odious by
fillng'Congress with a full delegation of ne
groes from the South. This it is thought will
so degrade that body that the people will get
sick Oft. But the grave question arises, is it
possible to degrade Congress below its present
level!

The condition of affairs in Tennessee seems to
me to be worse than ever. There is more en-
FILTERED state of feeling than has existed since
the surrender of the rebel armies Especially is
| this the case as between the negro and large
majority of the white race. AS ] have before
stated in this correspondence, most kindly and
cordial feeling had grown up between the colord
man and his former master. The latter with
| but here and there an exception, had risen above
all prejudice, and was extending to the former
every facility in his power to improve his stua-
ton This friendly feeling must have contn-

races, but for the impolte and unfortunate &c.

A Collection of.Wondars.

A marvellous collection of o5jcts
d"H and gems is now on private cXhi.
bition in Paris. Connoisseuys onino
that 80 large number Of uniuuo and
magnificent valuablcs have never been
gathcrercd together in any country,
and Prince, whose taste is as proven
bial as his wealth, recently declared
that he never even suspected tho cx-
lstcncc of such marvols. Itwould bo
impossible to cnumeratc the clements
of onc-fourth of tho collection, but wo
can mention a few of the wonders
without attempting to give satisfac-
tory description of any. First comes
little basket carved out of single
emerald, which is as largo as good
sized apricot. There are portions of
the apricot which have been cut
through, and other parts have been
sculpturcd en- relief 1t is said that tho
work on this little basket required an
outlay Of time equal in duration to the
lives of several men. Then tho con-
nosSSeurS arc shown vase made Of q
singular turquoise in tho form of a
goblet, about thirty ccntimetres in
height, and surrounded by garland
of gems
Experienced appraisers who were
called upon to estimate tho value of
this wondrous vase, failed to agree as
to the figure, but all admitted that il
exceeded l4,000,00O francs. A small
boat carved out of jade. and tcnantel

can only make general montion Of
caskcts filled with unset precious
stones, worth from 100000 to l,OOO,-
600 francs, Of forty snuT-boxcs of tho
most magnificent description, and of
quantities of bracelets, rings and car
rings, set with rubies, turquoiscs,
omeralds, saphircs, and diamonds Of
every color, for an enumeration of all
those curiositics would require moro
space that could be given it. Tho
most singular feature of tho oxhibi-
ton, however, is tho simplicity which
chnractcrizcs tho actions Of the exhibi-
tor. The gentleman who docs tho
honors of the place allows the visitors
10 admire, touch and pitiaro all tho
valuablcs displayed, ana unun ulIrUws
tho entire collection into brokon

turns tho key in u rustcd lock, and

Tho arrival of tho Sultan in Paris
gave rise to many anecdotes in the pa
pcrs. Among thom is one to this Of
fcct: NJ. Leopard Dc Moycr, tho
pianist, was callcdupon to play before
Abdul Aziz. In order that no injury
might bo done to the beautiful mosaic
floor, tho piano was placed on tho
backs Of five Turks then when NJ. do
Meyer desired to sit down, liz was told
that no one was permitted to be seated
in tho presence of the Sultan. Final
ly this difficulty was got over, and tho
professor was accommodated with II
chair. The Sultan expressed himself
as highly delighted with the perform
ancc, and then asked tho pianist to
dance,
