On Friday last, forty-fve pauper ne
groes were forwarded to Washington
by the Freedmen's Bureau authorities
in this city. sg.5r r .ss'.
Prior to this disposal of them, an at
tempt was made to turn them over to

On the first Of January, 1869, the
operations of the Bureau in this State,
except SO far as relates to the collestion
and disbursement of the bounties of col
ored soldiers and the management of
freedmen Is schools, ceased but Colonel
Runkle, Assistant Commissioner, find
ing that unless some action was taken
these people would be turned into the
streets to starve and die, procured au-
thority and purchased rations and fuel
sufficient to- last until April, 1859,
hoping that in the meantime the city
authorities weuld take some action in
the premises. No action being taken
by them, Col. Runkle, on the 31st of
March, wrote letter to the Mayor of
this city, setting forth the facts aud
appealing to him to make some pro-
vision for them. The Mayor returned
only verbal reply, which is understood
to have been that there was no hope in
that direction, as the City Council had
refused to accept the proposition made
in October, 1868, by Col. Burbank,
then assistant commissioner, who de-
sired to turn over hospital buildings and
property therein contained to the city
Reconsideration of the city relieving
the Government of the charge Of the
inmates of said hospital. The Mayor,
however, submitted Colonel Runkle's
letter to the City Council, with strong
recommendation that it be acted upon.
The Council accordingly referred It to
the Committee on Hospitals and Asy-
lums, and Immediately adjourned sine
die. Col. Runkle then wrote to the au-
thorities in Washington, detailing his
failure to secure aid from the local au-
tborities, and asking for instructions in
the premises. He received orders tC
