receiving their legitimate reward. The

them to the city. We believe this rule
is not universal in it's operation.

The Freedmen's Bureau.

By law OF the last Congress tie
Frcedmen's Bureau is now confined
to an educational work among the
blacks of the South. The report of
the Bureau for the fiscal year just
ended will show a steady and graft
flying advance in the cause of educa-
ton there. During the past six
months there has been an increase of
$50 schools and over 1,400 pupils.
At the close of the spring term there
were known to the Bureau 4,424
schools of all kinds, $50 teachers,
aud 256, 1853 pupils, and besides these
there are multtudes of small schools
scattered in the rural by-ways of the
South, that are not included in this
report, and not enrolled on the books
OF the Freedmen's Bureau. Seven
teen OF these schools, with $50 pupils,
are industrial, teaching labor as well
as knowledge; there are about
thirty-nine high and normal schools,
with 1877 pupils training to be
teachers most of these scholars are
teachers in small villages among the
blacks during their long vacation.
There are six colleges where fair
classical education can be obtained,
and at the Howard University there
are between fifty and one hundred
scholars in the law, medical and
theological departments 262 schools
are entirely sustained by the freed
men, and 1899 in part OF the 250,-
600 pupils, over 1872, 900 were slaves
before the war 759 school buildings
are owned by the blacks themselves,
while in Washington, Georg etown,
Petersburg, Wilmington, and other
places, the free school system is fair
ly carried out to blacks as we'll as
TO whites. The educational expenses
OF the Bureau for the past six months
have been S43, 800, while the blacks
themselves and the various benevo-
lent societies have raised $50 900
more since the lst of January last.
DR.. Sears has made an arrangement
with the Bureau that they should
a certain share of the
Peabody fund during the year the
Bureau has made q reduction of
three quarters of all the agents, and
over 100000 in expenses its affairs
are now conducted with the closest
economy, and it's etfortst are chiefly
confined to introducing schools into
destitute and rural portions of the
country where the blacks are unable
to originate schools without foreign
aid
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1869-10-19

s&- Isaac VFowler, formerly post
master in New York city, died in
Chicago, September 10Th. In 1860
it was reported that be had become
defaulter in the amount of $40, 900
and had left the country. The Post
office department sent special agent
to New York at once, who took
possession of the office, and instituted
a rigid examination into its accounts.
# was discovered that the misap-
preparation Of funds had commenced
as far back as December, 1855, and
had been partially known to the de-
partment from that time. The then
Postmaster General had refraned
from prosecuting Mr.. Fowler in the
expectation that be would adjust his
accounts. He became more and
more involved, however, and in May
1860, the facts could be no longer
concealed. Suit was brought by the
Government against Mr.. Fowler's
bondsmen, George Law and Gustavus
FL. Conover, bat the Government
failed to recover, on the ground that
the Postofiice bureau had been cog
infant of the fact that Mr.. Fowler
was defaulter, and tnat, therefore,
there was an assent, on the part of
the plaintiff, to his course. Fowler
wandered in exile from Cuba to Mex
leo where he lived six years. In
1868 a notle proSeqW was entered in
his case, aud he returned to the
United States

Anna Dickinson on the Mormons.

Miss Anna Dickinson is giving the
people of San Francisco her impress
ion on Mormonsm. The Chronicle
of that city, gives full report of the
lecture, from which it appears that
Miss Dickinson likes Salt Lake City,
which she calls the Sodom of the
Plains, quite as heartily as she de-
tests it inhabitants. The streets are
wide and clean, the buildings are
beautiful, and the scenery around it
is picturesque, but the men and
woman that inhabit it bear on their
faces the stamp of brutality and de-
basement and even the little children
that play in the streets are wretched
and unhealthy looking with counter
ances that reflect the most brutal
passions of man. Miss Dickinson
visited several Mormon families, and
conversed freely with the women
concerning their condition. None OF
them, she says, are happy. They
wear "debased servile air." and
look more like tolerated slaves than
companions. Many of them are
worn and faded and sickly-made SO
by excessive collaborating, nearly all
the middle-aged women having borne
