FIEKDMES's VILLAGE.-An investigation of
affairs at Freedmens village was recently
made by a board of officers, who submitted
report to General c. II. Howard, assistant COM
missioner ofs the District Of COLUMBIA, from
which we take the following extracts: ssrhe
result of the census taken shows that there has
been no oyer-issue of rations to dependents
The total number of adults emitted to ratious as
dependents is $751; the number of dependent
children (whe draw half rations) is 1O6: making
a total OF dependent rations 65l; which, together
Win nve ratIons issued to white employees,
makes total of $50 rations daily. The DO ard
Were Of opinion that a large number of the
freed people now residing in the village classed
as dependents, are able to provide their own
support. Some of these are children of de-
pendenIs, who have become Of suitable aga to
care FOR themsel yes since they were sent there:
others were sick and have recovered, others are
the wives OF permanently disabled husbands.
As matter OF economy, the board respectfully
recon- mend that the asylum OF Freedmans
Village be discontinued as rapidly as pract-
cable; first closing the hospital by removing
the sick to Freedmeu's Hospital, Washington
-. o.; secondly, transferring the minutes 70
tenements adjoining Freedmen's Hospital,

disabled by age or disease.
THE GREAT EUROPEAN CIRCUS, which gives
Its last performance in this city this evening,
on the lot at foot of Eleventh street. is in ex.
tent, the splendid character of it's appoint
ments, and the excellence of its performances
the best and most satisfactory exhibition of the
kind ever seen in this city. A larger and more
fashionable as3emblage was never gathered
under circus tent in this city than that which
attended the performance of last night. Among
those present we noticed the English Laga-
ton, seated in a reserved space, carpeted aud
nneIy decorated with American and English
hags,) a portion of the Chinese Embassy, ia the
same seats. and numerous members of Con.
gress and other distinguished citizens. The
