nation, Gen. Howard appointed me a
Special Agent OF the Bureau to
aid in meeting the extraordinary
difficulties which seemed likely to re-
suit from the State election. [ accept
ed the appointment temporarily, per-
formed the work required, and again
resigned. If Gen. Howard ever ex-
pressed one word against me it was
owing to the false representations
made to him by Fletcher.
So far as Fletcher's article relates
to me, as lawyer in this city, | scorn
to notice it. I have referred to him
as a public man and politician, and
no entleman will descend to the petty
malice and spite which exc out of
every line of his letter.

rowed a coat of a neigh Dor to wear to
town, and these, said he, pointing
to the shoes on his feet, " | borrowed
from a black woman" That he spoke
the truth | knew. 4 friend of his
had brought him to SEQ Gen. Gillem,
and the next day he rode 19 miles on
his way home in cotton wagon, and
walked four miles, the balance.
Another doctor, living in the same
town, had a bill of about $3.50
against one of the largest planters,
and after vainly trying to collect
it, told the planter if he would give
him a barrel of -four and key of
lard he would receipt the bill; but
that proposition was not accepted, for
the planter had no money and could
not get credit for that much.
But to further illustrate, let me
quote from a letter sent us by the
owner of large plantation: Please
stamp the enclosed letters and mail
them for me; [ have not stamp in
the house and not cent to buy one"
That's the case literally with many of
them. They are selling their mules
at from $50 to $50 per head, according
to the quality of the animals and their
press for funds. A great many mules
have been bought at these figures,
and shipped to st. Louis and points
North.
We have in store twelve hundred
Calhoun plows. the most popular pillow
that comes to this market, and | doubt
if we sell enough to pay the insurance
on them. Last year we sold hundreds
of them. Boats are coming down
here laden with stuff. Much of it
will find no market, and much of it
will get into hands who will never
make returns for it-some because
they cannot do so, and others because
they won't try. But in any case, this
is no time or place to expect to realize
a fortune from the products of the
North
AS I said before, the freedmen are
the greatest sufferers. In this connec-
ton [ may state, what | deem to be
fact, without intending to touch on po-
litics-and that is that the freedmen
have not labored as it was thought 10
the beginning of last season they
would, and they are thus far Gin crea-
ting a want of confidence in them)
responsible for their present condi-
ton. In very few instances have they
earned the supplies they have con-
sumed, and it is not only not profta-
BILE to employ them, but generally a
great loss. | think they would have
done better but for the fostering care
of the Government, the silly teachings
of adventures, the defective freed
mems bureau or its defective manage
ment, and their belief, from these
sources, that they would be pro-
vided for at all hazards. That
they must be regarded as paupers
a little while longer, and fed
by some one. is plain fact,
but the doctrine that they must earn
their living should be taught them,
and some provision should be made
