OLD SLAVES AFTER PENSIONS.
Persons Pretending to BE Govern.
ment Oficinls Fleeing Them.

ment Offcinls Fleeing Them.
Replies are being received by the pension
office from some of the agents of the Ex-
Slave Pension Associations in the south.
To all of these letters the department is
replying in no uncertain terms. The fol-
lowing letter, which is given in part, il
lustIates the position of the pension office
upon the subject:
"Inasmuch as this bureau has received
numerous complaints to the effect that
certain parties have been travelling through
the southern states and representing that
the bill in question had actually become a
law, that an appropriation of s99.OOo.OO0 had
been made for the purpose of paying the
pensions granted thereby, and that they,
the said agents, were officers of the gov
ernment, authorized and empowered to en-
roll ex-slaves for pensionable purposes, it
is deemed proper to suggest to you that
you advise your agents to carefully refrain
from making any representations whatever
to the effect that they are officers of the
government, and that this bureau will
make every effort in its power to prosecute
any man who. under the cover of repre-
sentations that he is an officer Of the gov
ernment, shall collect any money or other
things of value by pretending that he is
authorized and empowered to place the
names of ex-slaves on the pension rolls"
The latest adviceS received by the pen
sion Office in this matter of pensioning the
cX-slaveS came in the form of printed
hill, calling for meeting at the court
house at Murfreesboro', Tenn. 1t sets forth
that for 224 years the negroes have en-
dured untold miserieS, and did more for the
development of the great resources of the
country than any other people in it. That
all political parties claim that the govern
ment owes the ex-slaves a pension, but
whatever may be the facts in this regard.
it was their purpose henceforward to vote
fer measures and not for men. 1t SAYS
The pensionirg of the ex-slaves will re-
deem our men and women, and let the
Watchword be pension for ex-slaves Hew
down the mountains of opposition and
place the right foot of justice with power
on the giant wrong"
Concluding. it says: "a negro who is not
for his race is a fake and fraud in our
race. Perseverance is the price of liberty
