the BUREAU AGENT AT PULAsK1.-The
people Of Pulaski have shown the most
remarkable bitterness and contemplate
| meanness in connection with Capt. judd,
the Bureau agent there. They have actu
ally combined to ostracise him from the
community. Himself and family have
/ been turned OF from every boarding house,
and he is now compelled to live as best he
may in his Office The Freedmen's Bureau
! is no State institution, mind you, but e5-
tablished by the Federal Government. The
! copperheads Of Pulaski, in common with
those OF Sumner county and other sections,
/ profess the dearest, all embracing love for
the Federal Government, why we suppose
great many Of them are like old ExG Gov.
Fuote; they "adore the old flag, and vet
here they are, fighting against an institr-
/ ton Of that Government The fight, too,
is pushed by them in The very spirit of
contemplate, sneaking meanness. We are
glad to say that the Sub-Assistant Commits
sioner of this District, Capt. Walsh. will
investigate the case during the course of
tour commenced yesterday. We should
like to give the world the names Of those
sneaks who went around to private houses
to persuade the citizens DOT to board Capt.
Judd. VIII some one send US a list 2"
The Nashville Banner. of the same date,
answers most satisfactorily all of the above
article that refers TO Judd, when it says
"The real truth of the matter is that Judd
has, in every possible way, made himself
SO odioas to the people of Giles county
that he cannot find even a boarding place.
He has stirred up the League to all sorts
Of mischief, and whatever bad feeling ex-
lists between the bin, ks ard whites, is at
/ tributable to his mpchications. ."
We have been acquainted with the boar
ding house troubles of this ''ostracised"
pet of the Press d Times from the first,
and although he has frequently rendered
himself so odious that he could not be re-
tanned at either of the many boarding hou-
ses into which lie has been admitted, yet
we as the reporter for public Journal,
have not thought it incumbent upon US to
enter into an exposition Of the facts and
circumstances connected with each case.
and have heretofore studiously avoided
mentioning Che subject. We have never
noticed Capt, Judd in these columns except
in connection with some Of his official or
public actions. He very well knew this
when he made the remark the other day,
/ after being turned off from his last board
/ ing place, that he wouldn't mind it if il
wasn't that Frank McCord would get hold
of it and make a big blow" He had no
right to suppose that We would ever refer
t, the matter. We had said nothing about
his outrageous conduct at a former board
ing place, when he cursed the landlady and
even laid violent hands on her. leaving
the black prints Of his brawny fingers up
oil her person. We should not refer to this
business now if it hadn't become matter
of notoriety and official inquiry.
Capt Walsh, the Sub Assistant Com
missioner of this District, came down last
Tuesday night to investigate the matter,
and look up boarding place for Judd. He
went to Mayor Balenline and inquired why
it was that his pet couldn't be entertained
in this town. The Mayor told him that
that was a private matter which he hadn' t
felt it his duty to investigate. and could
not enlighten him. The Sub-Ass;staut
Commissioner then asked the Mayor "wbat
was the difference between Mr.. Frances
McCord and Capt Judd" The Mayor
didn' know there was any misurderstand-
ing between US. Capt. Judd and ourself
never passed harsh word In fact we
don't pass words at all. Who informed
the Commissioner that there was any diff
ference between US? There is marked
difference between US in one sense, and we
hope by the grace of God - preserve it,
but this doesn't concern the Bureau De-
partment.
Capt Walsh was informed at another
boarding house that if Capt. Judd was re-
ceived all the rest of the boarders would
quit the house. The Captain then called
upon the proprietor Of the last house that
Judd was dismissed from, and demanded
to know why he had been turned out. He
was promptly informed that that was none
of his business, and was peremptorily inyj-
ted out of the house.
The Commissioner left without procur-
ing q boarding place for Judd. but said that
it was a military necessity for him to re-
main here, and that he would have to press
boarding house for him. Wonder if Judd
will accept boarding house under such
circumstances?
If this man Judd had gone along quiet
" aud attended to his official business alone,
