expense of the white people Of the
North. The agents ofthis Bureau are
the most bitter and dangerous Radicals,
who spend all their time 10 make the
negro troublesome to the white and
worthless to himself. In any dispute
between the negro and the white man
they take the side ofthe negro and
punish tho white, no matter how much
he may be in tho right. They thus
encourage negro importance and lazI-
ness. Provided they can organize ne
groes into political Loyal Leagues"
and swear them to vote with tho Rad
icals oftho North, they are satisfied
with thOir business. This Bureau is
a terrible engine of mischief in the
Southern States as well as o costly
evil to the North. Its operations are
thus noted by q correspondent of the
Memphis Bulletin who has lately been
travelling in Arkansas:
"But the real and true army worm,
that will prove most destructive the
planter this season, are a lot of inca
oable, low and narrow.manded Bureau
agents, that are constantly inter
iereing with the negroes and prevent
ing them from working: And these
incapable satraps are more damaging
to the country than all tho attacks Of
the worm could possibly amount to.
Kept at an enormous expense, these
parties, through their ignorance and
malice, are oyerrunnlng and destroy.
ing every thing, and every prestige of
the principles of honor in the South.
IAN instance of of one these worth
less was called to nv attention at Lake
Village. Chicot County, Ark. 1t adj
pears two negro orators, of tho Fred
Douglass and Stephens stripe, hailing
hom Little Rock, came to enlighten
their brethren in the grand scheme of
c~oniEcation. The Bureau man, G. W.
5. Benson, repaired TO Mr.. Hunnicutts
house to procure entertainment for his
would>be orators, and demanded lodg-
ings and accommodations at bis pr-
vate residence. He, as any gentle
man would do, resisted tho insult Of
negro equality, and very justly told
Mr.. would-be- controller Of Southern
rights and Degroequality, that as he
had sent for his burly negroes, Steph-
ems and Phillips, that he himself was
the proper person to provide for them.
Some OF the citizens, on hearing Of the
outrage, gave Messers. Stephens & Co.
to understand that they did not wish
nuy enlightmeht on the subjects they
were to speak on. They left for Mr..
Benson's house and once inside, com
menced preparing Tor an attack; aud
as some of the citizens were passing
the place, the Leaguers, fearing that
they were coming after them, com
menced firing. When the citizens
returned the fire, they made q grand
sKedaddle for the woods, from which
they have not yet emerged. THIS so
enraged his Highness, that he ordered
the arrest of Mr.. Hunnicutt, who was
in bed asleep, when the FREEING was
going on, and many other respectable
citizens, and sent for IL guard Of Uni.
