Woae Hampton on the freedmen.

There is Stale Fair now in progress at
Macon, Ca, and it appears to be attended
with considerable success. The agricultural
and labor interests OF the Slate are largely
represented there, and they are not merely
confined to Georgia, but extend over all the
Southern States. Many of these fairs have
been hold Of late, ami the effect has been gen.
orally good, predicting largely improved
condition of the whole South and showing the
advance made In material progress since
the disastrous times Of tle' ciaii war.
General Hampton, who has frequently
exhibited his wise appreciation OF the
existing condition of things, and has
given many sensible ideas concerning the
new relations between the North and the
South, expressed himself with some force on
the question Of treating the freedmen for the
mutual benefit of that class and OF the South
ern States also. He urged tho necessity of
cultivating patriarohai and friendly feeling
with the colored freedmen md the improve
ment Of their moral and intellectual status.
This is what the South requires. The South
ern people know that the freedmen are there
among them; that they IRE there by law estab-
llshed, either as an incubus to be carried or
| the shoulders Of Southern industry or an ele-
ment to be employed for its benefit Wade
Hampton evidently sees the matter in this
light, and he advises his people well npor
this subject. The South is gradually reliev-
ipg itself from the effects Of the late war, ant
perhaps there are no means which it car
employ better calculated to assist the ISSUE
than the ;udicious use OF the negro element
| as suggested BIZ Wade Hampton.

Tho Frcedmen's Durenu-Gcncrni HOwnrd's
Report.

Report.
The report Of General O. o. Howard,
Commissioner Of the Freedmens Bureau,
presents an encouraging review Of its opera
tons and influence during the past year and
of the improved condition OF Southern freed
men. Its statistics are remarkably interesting.
One year ago there wero on duty in the Bureau
ono hundred and forty-one commissioned
officers, four hundred and twelve civilian
agents and three hundred and forty eight
clerks. Now there are but fife officers,
seyenty-one agents and seventy-two clerks
The clothing and rations then issued to the
destitute cost on an average $03, 700 per
mo th. Now no such supplies are issued
except to the sick in hospital Instead Of
twenty-one hospitals, forty dispensaries,
eighty-fve surgeons and five thousand four
hundred patients, there are now but two
hospitals, no dispensaries, FIVE surgeons and
five hundred and forty-one patients. Trans
portation and stores were then furnished at q
cost Of $24,s40 per month; now no transpor-
taton orders are given. So long as the
educational and boun y divisions Of the Bureau
continue it will not be practicable to make
further reduction Of the force. The only hos
pitfalls now kept up are those at Richmond
and Washington. The special relief
fund was drawn upon during the
year to the extent Of $252,547 for
clothing and food. The great mass of freed
people are now self-supporting, and many
have gone into business on their own account.
The hostility to schools ana teachers has in
great measure ceased. Official reports give
Ais schools, @ 455 teachers and ll4,5 22
pupils within the jurisdiction of the Bureau.
It is striking and significant fact that the
freedmen themselves raised and expended las.
year for school purposes alone not less than
1920, 900.
General Howard shows that the entire cost
Of the Bureau since It's organization has been
but $l3, 1929, SIG. He recommends that the
bounty aud educational divisions be continued,
and that the work they are now doing be trans
terred TO other departments ii the Bureau is
closed and concludes by ASSERT lg that the
law of selfpreservation will justify Congress
IN establishing general sysleA Vi Tree
schools throughout the South, If the States
themselves do not furnish them at an early
day, 80 that the children may receive such
teaching as will at them to discharge in.elli-
gently the duties Of free American citizens.
1t is assuredly gratifying to learn from the
report Of General Howard that the Freedmens
Bnreau has been instrunen tai in ameliorating
to 50 high degree, within 30 short period
since the close of the war, the condition Of the
colored people in the South.
