CONTRACTS FOR LABOR.-We would
call the attention o? those who have
charge of freedmen's affairs, to tho
following communication from one of
our oldest and most eminent jurists.
Neir Orleans Picayune.
General Fullerton, in his very sen?
sible and judicious advice as Assistant
Commissioner Bureau of Freedmen,
to the freedmen of Louisiana, seems
not to have been aware of the exist?
ence of certain provisl ~>ns of the Civil
Code of Louisiana. He remarks that
"in the absence of civil law regarding
agreements between the whites and
yourselves, contracts for hire have
been made for y ou by the agents of
this Bureau, and by military officers."
Sections two and three of article one
hundred and fifty-seven of the Code,
under the head of free servants, and
the articles following, regulating the
relations created between the master
and his free servants, under the con?
tracts between them thus authorized,
appears to furnish all thc necessary
civil kw on this subject. Those en?
actments were made for white as well
as colored persons, und it cannot,
therefore, be supposed they would
operate injudiciously to the colored po?
pulation. Under this law, as amend?
ed in 1826. tho freedmen may bind
themselves for a term not exceeding
five years, and minors may be inden?
tured for service until eighteen years
for females, and twenty-one years for
males. The most ample protection is
afforded to the servants thus inden?
tured or apprenticed. The contracts
may be reciprocally enforced, and
both parties compelled to the specific
performance of their engagements,
and the servant may be punished for
negligence or misdemeanor with mo?
deration, provided the whip is not
used. As this law makes no discrimi?
nation as to color, no valid objections
eau he made to calling it now into
operation at once, with the sanction
of the Freedmen's Bureau. Planters
thus engaging a sufficient force to re?
new tbeir planting operations, under
contracts for a term of years, will
have ii solid basis for the credit ne?
cessary to enable them to stock their
plantations, and obtain the necessary
supplies to commence with. These
laws, properly understood and en?
forced, will place the labor system of
the country on as favorable a footing
as could be expected, both as regards
the planters and the freedmen. It
may be of service to call the attention
of the commissioners and of the pub?
lic to these laws. Crvrs.
Slavery still exists in Kentucky and
Delaware, the proclamation not ex?
tending to them, and these States not
having taken any action on emanci?
pation. Slave population in Delaware
in 1860 w:us 1,800 ; in Kentucky at
the same time. 225,000.
Mr. HENRY N. McGOWAN desires t..
inform bis many friends and acquaintances
in lliis city and the adj.lining country, that
bc lass engaged his services with Messrs
CALNAN & KREUDER, wholesale and
retail grocers, on Gervais street, opposite
State Home, where he would bc pleased to
be called on by them and supply their
wants in tho grocery linc from an ample
