We had hoped that the military
government of the Southero States
would be conducted in u manner So
clement, and in such conformity to
the spirit of our formerly free insti'
'tutions, as to be borne with patience
and without complaint, while il
might speedily perform its mission,
and give place to the mild sway ola
good civil government. In this,
however, we fear we are TO be sadly
disappointed, both in the clemoncy
of the military government and tho
character of tho civil government
which is 20 take its place when il is
suspended. Atprescnt the life and
property Of the white man is com
pletely at the mercy Of illeterate
and vicious freedmen, since the
Freepmen's Bureau is The only tri-
bunal of justice in the country
which retains any vitality and be.
fore this court the white man gen
orally has to submit TO thedcmands
of tho Negro, as his word is held in
higher estimation than that Of his
white neiphbor. The military in
many places are careful to restrain
the whites with rigid orders and by
the infection Of heavy penalties,
while the negroes are protected, not
in the enjoyment Of liberty only.
but in the exercise of an unbridled
license. The result is, we are now
suffering the ills of the worst gov
eminent that over cursed an en-
lighted people, and the indications
are that our situation may yet grow
worse. We hope, in that event, that
our people will be able to summon
to their aid an amount Of endurance
adequate TO the occasion but we
have grounds for fear that they will
not be able patiently to endure, and
may he driven to such desperation
as will lead to a condition of things
truly distressing. Our people are
patient; they are prudent they
are wise but we may not hope that
they possess these virtues in 80
large degree as to endure all
things.
A number of frcedwomcn were
drunk on the streets on Monday
morning, and guilty ofindecent and
turbulent conduct and language,
committing numerous assault upon
each other. During tho same day,
a freedman, residing near Blacks
stable, administered a castigation to
his wife, who was drunk. aA
The Messrs. Chancey, who were
arrested some time since and are
now held in custody by the military
at this place, have been able to pro
duce the freedman whom they were
charged with killing, alive and un-
injured. The proof was, we under
stand, Conclusive against them until
they produced the living freedman,
