FREEDMEN's BUREAU.--The House
Committee on Freedmen's Affairs has in
instructed its chairman to report against
ali projects for the further extension of
the Bureau They are Convinced that the
reconstruction laws give the military
commanders power to extend all necessa
ry protection to freedmen, and while they
apprehend that not much can be done du-
ring Mr.. Johnson's administration, they
are certain, from conference with Gene
raj Grant, that when be comes into the
White house, the colored people will have
whatever is needfull done for them. For
this reason the committee are against the
bill in question. They will, however, re
port favorably on a bill continuing the
freedm ems hospitals at Washington, Rich
mond Vicksburg, and New Orleans for
another year. 81 h@se ahtsaL atD 1850 3

TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD


correspondent In last Sundays HERALD, re-
ferrng TO your assertion that f there is no revealed
religion then Christianity is lie, and the churches
are swindling institutions one and ALL" fully en-
dorses the sentiment, and adds that mo sensible
man but Will conscentiously subscribe to these
views" Now profess to be a sensible man" and
yet cannot subscribe to the "views you have taken.
| think you are both wrong, for the following
reasons There is q wide difference between a lie
and mistake; both are deceptlons, but the former
wilful deception, while the latter is not: Now
Christianity Is q system Of religion believed to be
true by majority OF Its teachers and followers, and
hence 1t is not 'ie," but only "misake," even II
the entire system be false. IL the ministers OF
Christianity are sincere and In the main belleve
what they teach, they are not liars nor are their
churches 'swndling Institutions" Admitting, then
tnat Christianity Is only "nappy deluslon," nave
the charity to believe that majority Of It's votares
at least believe II to be true. NlNDEA.

BROOKLYN CITY.
THE COURTS.
United STATES DISTRICT couaT-M BANKRUPTCY.

Baker a Tradesman Within the Meaning Of
the Bankrupt Act-Decisi0n.
Before Judge Benedict.
IN the Natter OF John T. Cocks, Banhr,pt.-The
following decision was rendered in this case yester-
day.
This case raises the question whether person
whose occupation Is that Of a baker and who buys
hour which he converts into bread and then sells the
bread to daily customers, Is TO be deemed trades
man within the meaning o. the twenty-ninth sec
ton OF the Bankrupt act, and therefore
not entitled to discharge where it appears
that he has kept no books OF account what
whatever. AS neither counsel has referred to any
authority bearing on the question am justified in
assuming, for the purpose OF this case, that no
authorities exist, either In this country or In Eng
land, which throw any light upon the subject. In
absence or any light from authorities 1 incline to
the opinion that the petitioner must be held to be
tradesman, and therefore not entitled TO dis
charge, for the reason that 1t appears that he had
Kept no books OF account. l shall be ready to re-
consider this conclusion with the aid OF authorities
If counsel shall desire to present them for my con-
5iderdtlOn.
