The labors OF Bruce's special Committee on
the Freedmen's Bureau will not begin until
after Congress adjourns. When 1t gets fairly
under way the sable Senator says that the
investigation shall not stop until he finds out
what has become Of the missing millions.
The colored people of Louisiana are interest
ed TO the extent Of several hundred thousand
dollars, and will watch the progress Of the
inquiry with lively concern. They probably
have long since given up all idea OF recover
ing any OF 1t, but they have very natural
desire to know what became Of their money,
and will feel much obliged to Bruce IL he sue
ceeds In his purpose and let's them know.

selfish should pass away so suddenly, and a
brave act which cannot be too highly COM
