Our Distriot and the Freedmen. t
Gen. I. K. Scott., Ass't Commis t
ionor of the Froedmon's Bureau,
lately issued a serics of papers, advi
sorily. One point was, that the land
>wners hero should practically ac-.
knowledge the froodom of tlie freed
men. If the General could have
itood upon tle streets of Winnsboro
fron the first of Dceombor until the
present time, lie would have found his
advice upon the point in questidn,
perfectly superfluous in its applica
tion to the citizens of Fairfield.
The fact is the landowners of this
District have erred inl conceding more
froodom to the freedmen than to a
white man. Ifero is the proof of it.
In December there was a strong ef
fort by both Fairfield plantors and
those (or their agents) from Florida,
Texas and Mississippi, to securo sufli
ciont labor for 1867. The competi
tion was fairly carried on ; so far as
we know, not a single instance occurr
ed where the froodman was not left
entirely free to choose employers
whore ho preferred. But upon the
first of January hundreds of contracts
had been closed between employer
and laborer in the Distriot. And
what follows I Simply this-land
owners or their agents from other
States have come and mitany of those
contracts haso come to grief from the
fact that the freedmen have been pro
valled upon to go elsewhere for high
or wages.
Now we put this simple question to
all whom it may concern. If, in
stead of theso froodmon violating
their contracts, the violation wore
committed by the employer, would
we not have the Freedmen' Bureau
agents down upon us like a duck upon
a June bug ? I
Is there no protection to the (m
ployor ? lIO is compolled to forfeit a
considerable portion of his incomo by
such a violation of the contract,
while tho laborer forfeits nothing.
Gon. Se itt makes anothorjoint inl
ditty of impressing upon the froodmen
respect for law and duty. Now it
hamppiis that the way things are work
ing inl this section, law and duty are
Iest, respected in their violation than
in their observance.
"The Constitutional Amendment" -Our
Correspondent "PhiOlip."
In theo NEWs of the 22iid appeared
a commnunication signedl "PhJiilip),"
relative to thle Consititutionlal Amend
Imont. From the length of the mann..
soript and our own debility, we did
not road either it or the proof sheots,
and~ hencie were uniablo to make any
allusion to its subjoet matter, Our
p Iositionl uipon the subject discussed by
fore we do not propose to re-discuss
thme AmenO~dmenot.
Bu we will briefny state a few
points of dIfference between the views
of "Philip" and those of others who
(do not see the thing ~i tile same light.
1. There is no guarantee that an~
adoption of the amnendmolnt would
benefit us5 one boa.
2. All thme mlagnanlimity shown to
tile South since the surrender, has
has come from President Johnson, who.
net only did nlot approve the anmend
mnent, but advised the Southecrn States'
not to do it. I
3. To accept the amendimient, is not
simplly disabling all the mon we have
trusted and hlonorod, It Is more ; it is
virtuaol conviction an~d con~demlnationll
beforo any trial has been granted,.
l'ho amnendmlent declares thleml unlft

midorse tile anmendmient, and of course

Elogging in Maesaohusetts-An Error
Common to the Press.
So many newspapers have gone to
he extreme in placing before the
public sensational paragraphs, that as
i consequence, the public have to a
great extent becomo disgusted with
'hei. Especially in a time of politi
3a1 excitement, is this error common
ivith the Press. The heat of partisan
ihip impolla many editors to rush be
yond the bounds of candor and jus
tice.
Such were the thoughts suggested
upon reading the extract below frum
the New York Wrl'id.
Tihe agent of the '/W,une's Boston
"hureau" comiuinicates to thit jour
nal the following frightful statisties in
relation to flogging in Massachusetts
"(,Mr. G corge 1. Emerson has been
calling attention to some of the de
fective methods of eduention in the
loston schools, and1.1 Dr. Ordway, who
is sidil to live i "hobby," and, there
fore, like all m 111 w Yh) lhai ve hIobbies, a
sort of rod spectra to fogies aw1l rou
tinists, has mado public some statis
ties in relation to flogging, or, to
speak more m ildly, corporeal punish
ImIent, in these samo it stitutionis. The
Doctor states, on the authority of tile
record kopt by the teachers, that there
have been thirteen thousand cases of
this sort of discipline inl nine months.'
Thirteen thousand floggings in nine
mlloiths ! Tho "Key to Uncle Tom's
Cain," whieh covers all the 011tra
gos" of this kind for a perlod of thirty
Vears in the Soiti, does not reveal a
tithe of such instances in the whole
slave record (if -the old slavo States.
If the Bureau has a particle of the

of the Bureau at onec, an1(d Senlator
Sunner should give the Senmato a two
day's speech on the "'Uarbarism of
Civilization in Massaelbuse Its.
Granting then that there were
13,000 cases of flogging in Ilinle
mioutlis in the public schools of Ilos
tOu-anid the number must be correct,
it is statistical-what is the inference
when all the facts are brought out
Let us adv~ert briefly to these.
In 1865 there were in the public
schools of Boston 26,961 pupils.
Nine months being 198 schools (lays,
there would be upon an average not
quite 66 floggings a day. Tha t is', out
of'20,96h pupils, only GG receivedl the
rod in one day13 1 .Now is that so as
toundling ?
TIake aunother f'aot. It is obligato
ry upon teachers in the public schools
of Mfassachusetts, ''to inf'orm some
"momnber of the School Conunittee
"ini wr-itinig inulnediately after the in
"flietion ofeorporal pun ishmient, giv
"ing the name of the pupil and thatof
"his parents, together with the amount
1'of punishment inflicted, rind the mis
1'coniduct which rendered it necessa..
ry." And this is why the world is so
well acquainted with flogging in the
schools of Massachusetts. All their
'eports arlo publishedl to the world in
arge well-bound v'olumes.
