The conference which has for some
time been in progress here between the
Prussian Government and Hanoverian
notables, has resulted in the appointment
of Baron Won Bismarck to preside over

Osterwald, in Hanover, which he has
made his habitual residence for many
years.
BADEN, September 5.-The Inter

cherish, protect and defend the Consti-
tuition as the only rightful government;
acknowledging the Supreme Court as the
only arbiter in all conflicts Of powers un.
der that instrument; that each State
has exclusive right to prescribe the
qualifications of voters, etc. The Con-
vention offered resolution of its own,
expressing an intention to cultivate re-
lations of harmony between the two
races, to deal justly with blacks, to aid
and instruct them in duties TO them
selves, to society and their country, and
appealing to them to place trust in those
whom they know to be honorable, and
deal cautiously with strangers, who
bear no evidence that they are honorable,
until better known.

FREEDMEN's BUREAU.

The Freedmen's Bureau was estab'
lished, at the public expense OF very
many millions, professedly for the bene-
fit and protection of the blacks. If it is
proper and justifable establishment, it
should govern as well as protect, it
should punish the crimes Of the guilty as
well as feed and clothe the innocent, and
its utility should have appeared before
this time. What has been the result,
but to encourage the false idea in the
mind of the negroes, which was always
peculiarly their own, that liberty con-
sists in Licking lassss and swinging on
n gate p Labor is their aversion, and
they prefer slavery, without labor, to
liberty with it. That man who will
not work shall not eat, and that labor is
the law ofSthe universe for white and
black is not in their bible. And they
will never do half the work voluntarily
that white men would do in the same
circumstances. And this very material
fault in their character the Bureau has
encouraged by clothing and feeding
them in idleness, when less physically
able class of poor whites, who would
work, were suffering aud dying for want
of the same succor. Stephen Girard was
a philanthropist whose experience
taught him that Except in extreme
cases money was never we'll expended
for anything but labor compensation,
and he accordingly once required a man
10 wheel brick back and forth to no pur-
pose as the only course to render his
beneyolence real and effective. Have
the blacks been really benefited by all
this2 Is it not in fact the very worst
thing you can do for an able bodied man,
black or white, to feed and elothe him
IN idleness
And how has the Bureau system
worked as TO another matter-that OF

information, from orders to the depart
ment, states that Mississippi, which has
enjoyed the reputation of being the most
turbulent of all the Southern
States, except Texas, is now

brought to punishment larger number
Of criminals during the past two months

it is known that in the interview between

for thereby ten organized States had
