TIE CONDITION OF AFFAIRS N SOUTH CARO-
11NA-RELATIoNs BETWEEN PLANTERS AND
FREEDMEN.-General Howard, Commissioner
OF the Freedmen's Bureau, has received re-
port from Brevet Major-General r. X. Scott,
Assistant Commissioner for the State OF South
Carolina. In tho Charleston District much
complaint has been made against the negh-
gence Of the freedpeople as laborers; that they
would not do the amount Of work they should;
that they absent themselves to attend re-
ligious and political meetings, thus losing
themselves, and causing the planters to lose
also. In many sections they have worked well
and given general satisfaction, but the opera
tions of the Union League have been
detrimental to them, as it takes them from
their work, which is more important to them
than politics, and they often receive bad ad-
vice through the league by designing men. In
the Darlington District many planters COM
menced with nothing, and their credit had been
pushed to the utmost. The labor was terribly

BUREAU R., F. AND A. LANDS,
WASHINGTON, D. C.; January n, 1851.
Breuet Major General r. 4. Scott, Asslssdn'
Commissioner Of South Carolina:
GKNE,,aI-Your Circular Of January 16, 1858,
is recei, ed. The only thing fear ls that an
impression may get abroad that q greater
amount Of supplies are to be rurlnsne1 tnan
the funds am able to devote to the relief OF
destitutlon will warrant. -.
With the understanding that there are put
two States where there is likelihood OF famine
without assistance from some quarter, ard that
South Carolina, owing to providential causes,
has larger number Of destitute than an1 other
State, I have allotted o larger proportion OF
funds to South Carolina than to any other, YET
the amount even for South Carolina is small:
In addition, we have dessicated vegetables
and dessicated potatoes, which may be Used SO
as to remove the possibility OF starvation.
These supplies must be used IN such way
that the sums expended will be secure and be
returned to the fund from which they came.
To this end take liens upon realty and the
growing crops, where it is practicable, and
where not, upon the growing crops AID per-
sonal property Of the recipient.
You will find it necessary to be exceedingly
careful that men who have or can get means
do not step in before those who are really III
need. The whole subject 's stated IN your
last clause, ''these supplies are only intended
by the government to relieve extreme cases OF
destitution."
Supplies must not, however, be furnished In
way to promote idleness. I fear thu chsrl-
ties OF last year from benevolent associations,
and to some extent from the Bureau, in some
localities, have had this tendency. Your expe-
rience in the past will enable you to take
methods to acid this difficulty the coming
wear, so that You may never aid people who
are not honestly and iEdnstTious!y engaged In
securing for themselves competency.
Very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,

creditors have been loud in their complaints
and have appealed to the military to as 'ist them

sections OF the State, asking that Provost
Courts be re-established, in which judgments
can be obtained against the dsbtor, and where
executions are allowed. These petitioners wish
70 obtain their money by the shortest possible
method. The legal civil process, hedged in by
the stay laws, is too lengthy, and these credit

A Poru1AR REMovA1.-1he dilapidated old
wooden building on the south side OF Broad
street, near Church, Is gradually disappearing
before the attacks Of the workmen. The atten-
tion of the civil authorities has been frequent
" called to the condition Of this house, but no
action was taken, and the public became grad
ualIy reconc:led to its dilapidated appearance,
ana considered it one OF the permanent eye
sores Of the city. Yesterday the visitors to
Broad-street we're surprised to see workmen
busily employed in tearing down the old struc-
ture, and on inquiry the information was OBJ
tanned that it was to be levelled to the ground.
The house is the property Of the Wilson estate.
It has long been mere shell, and was recently
purchased by Mr.. Jas. A. Sanders, principally
for the lumber it contained. The debris Is
now being rapidly removed, and in a few days
Broad-street will be relieved Of disgrace, and
pedestrians can pass along the south side with
out fear Of being buried in the ruins.
