The Freedman's Bureau Fraud.

1t is reported that Senator Bruce says
the work of his committee in the in
yestigation of the Freedmen's bureau
frauds has so far adva need that he will
be enabled to make a report to Congress
when it meets in December. 1t is
pretty well understood that the disclo-
sures will be more startling than any
thing yet reported about the gigantic
swindle.

KINDS CoUNTY.-The Democrats

The Census.

Mississippi will be entitled to three
Census Supervisors, who will be APP
pointed by the President during the
next session of Congress. A district
will be assigned to each of these, and
they will appoint the county enumera-
tors. The census will be taken in June.
In order to facilitate taking the census
and to insure accuracy, attention has
been directed to the provisions of the
act relating to agricultural products.
The crop reports must be for the preee-
ding year.
A question will be asked a planter
how many acres did you have for the
year in cotton, and how much did you
make per acre, DC.
Such questions relate to the year
1879. 1t will be necessary for the
planter then to know how many acres
he planted in the spring of 1879, and
how much cotton he picked this fall.
To promote accuracy in the answer of
these questions we are asked to direct
attention to the subject. All of the
crops raised in this State fall under the
head of these, for which report is to
be made for the year 1879.

In its recent opinion upon what is
known as the Thurman sinking fund
act, the Supreme Court of the United
States held that railroad company is
subject to legislative control when its
stockholders appropriate to their own
use that which in equity belongs to
others, and that an enforcement of this
doctrine does not deprive the company
of vested rights.

SENATOR CHANDLER, of Michigan,
was found dead in his bed at the Grand
Pacific Hotel in Chicago few mornings
ago, the result of sudden congestion of
the lungs. He was the most bitter and
vindictive of all the partizan enemies
of the South; but remembering the
inirmities of human nature, her people
will bear him no malice, and will cover
his crimes against them with the man.

THERE is promise of an enormous
wheat crop next year. Never before
in the history of the country has there
been planted so large a crop as there
has been in Southern Illinois, Indiana,
and Ohio, where the seeding is just
completed. This is pleasant news to
the people of the cotton States who find
it cheaper to raise cotton and buy -four
than to produce the latter. An abun-
dant crop will give large supply and a
full supply will secure low prices.

Is rolling in twenty-five per cent. faster than

SENATOR BLAINE ridicules the idea of
intimidation by troops at the polls in
New York, because the soldiers number
but two to three polling places. 1t is
not the number that alarms anybody,
but the fact; for if they may place one
soldier at the polls, they may a thous-
and. If there were but one soldier to
the whole State of New York we would
object to that one. The civil law is
supreme, and it can and should maintain
its own position.

THE New York Tribune, one of the
Republican organs of the stalwart sort,
tells the colored voters in the South
that in some respects "they have done
much worse than their. friends hoped.
They have elected a great many worth
less men to office, and thus have bur-
dened themselves and the taxpayers
generally with load of debt and taxa
ton which has formed the chief excuse
for a powerful reactionary movement"
That is all true, and many of the more
intelligent of the colored voters know
it to be so, but when the powerful
reactionary movement" came which
threw out of office the worthless set
who had burthened the Southern people
with taxation, the Tribune and that ilk
raised the false cry of bulldozing.

THE Washington Post boils the
exodus agitation down to this great
truth: "White labor has produced
half the great cotton crop of Mississippi,
and large percentage of that of other
States, the blacks are needed in the
South, and it will be for their interest
to stay there. But if Northern mis-
chief makers lure them away, their
places can and will be filled. When
any man or class of men think they
can't be spared, great mistake is
generally made. There is no place
filled by any man that can't be re-flled
when he leaves it. Cotton will be
raised because it is necessary and a
paying crop. If the negroes will not
produce it, others will do that work. :"
