sionts Of the Froedfnen' : Bureau, lately
issued q series of papars. adyisorily. -
One point wassihat the land owners
here should practically acknowledge
the freedom of ihe freedmen. Ifgahe
General could have stood upon the
streets Of Winnsboro from the first Of
December until the present time, he
would have found his advice upon the
point in question perfectly superAuous
in its application to the citizens of Fair
field.
The fact is the land. owners OF this
District have erred in conceding more
freedom TO the freedmen than to white
man. Here is tho proof Of it. In De
cember there was a strong effort by both
Fairfield. planters and those (or. their
agents) from Florida, Texas and Missis
sippi, to secure sufficient labor for 1867.
The competition was fairly carried on !;
so fer as we know, not a single instance
occurred where the freedman was not
lSit SHlfcIN iIeo tO CtOOSe SUplOJ6fS
where he. .preferred. But upon the first
Of January, hundreds Of contracts had
been closed between employer and la.
horeri the District. And what fol-
lows ? Simply this-land-owners or
their agents from other States have come
and many Of those contracts have come
to grief from the fact that the freedmen
have been prevailed upon to 60 else-
where for higher wages.
= Now we put this simple question to
all whom it may concern. II, instead
of these freedmen violating their con-
tracts, the violation were committed by
the employer, would we not have the
Freedmen's Bureau agents down upon
us like duck upon June bug2
Is there no protection to the employ.
err He is compelled to forfeit con
siderable portion Of his income by such
a violation Of the contracts, while the
laborer fo,ftits nothing.
s. General Scott makes another point ir
his voluntary advice. 1t is as to the
duty Of impressing uron the freedmen
respect for law and duty. Now it hap
pens that the way things are working
in this section, law and duty are bes'
respected in their violation than in .thei
observance.

is to be hoped, however, that the state

COMMERCIAL FAILUREs.-In The New
York Times We 6nd some interesting
and significant statistics with reference
to the commercial failures at the North
for the past year, as we'll as for the pre-.
ceding wears.
In 1862 The aggregate liabilities Of
those who failed was, in round numbers.
$2J,oo0,O0o in 1909 tho aggregate
was $S,oOO,OO0 in 1864 il was So.
100000 in 1865 1t was $17,50o 900,
while in 1866 the aggregate was SAL,
100000. Itthus appears that the aggre>
gate of liabilities Of those who failed in
1866 is snearly six times as great as in
1862, and nearly three times rs great as
in 1865. This Is frightfol increase,
and indicates that the termination ol
the war was but the commencement oi
financial troubles. =.

SOUTHERN YouNo Man - The young
men Of the South haveit in their power
to make a new Son,h of the old. They
have shown their energy and self denial
in war, and if they exhibit anything
like the same qualities in peace, they
will build up their section beyond the
powers for mischief Of their bitterest
enemies. The way TO do this is simply
TO avoid politics and 60 to work; to ap.
ply their whole souls to the work OF
creative industry to work in its forms,
whether The field or the shop, whether
agricultural or mechanical. Let them
rise above the absurd predju udices
against manual labor. There is no form
Of labor which is degrading, and if they
were willing TO perform manual drudge
ry in the ranks for the sake Of the South,
in war. .Slet Them be willing to do the
same in the ranks of peaceful industry,
and the salvation. Of their section is se>
cure.-Bditimore Transcript.
