COTTON STEALING-COMMENT OF
HON. WILLIAM BURNETT, OF CINCIN?
NATI.-In a letter to Senator Scbenck,
Judge Burnett thus comments on tho
refusal of the United States War De?
partment to publish the Investigation
Report of Gen. Smith and Hon.
James T. Reade, of New Orleans:
If it is compatible with the public
interest, that treason or fraud of the
darkest and most revolting character
should be screened from exposure,
and their perpetrators not only shield?
ed from punishment, but promoted to
posts of honor for "distinguished
services," then the decision of the
War Department may bc right, and I
was mistaken when 1 said to General
Smith, in New Orleans. "Let me say
to you, sir, that you cannot find on
on the face of the footstool, two more
atrocious villains than Maj. Gen.
Dana and Brigadier Bray man, and
every hour they wear the badge of the
War Department and wield the
authority of the Government is a
damning disgrace, from which, until
they are punished and dismissed, it
cannot and ought not to recover.
Whether I was also mistaken wMen I
said to him, ^This investigation will
amount to nothing; the charge against
them will be either .whitewashed or
suppressed," remains to be seen.
But if the public honor demands
the exposure and punishment of those
who have prostituted the authority of
the Government, and tarnished its
record wherever their infamy is
known: if tho public interest requires
that the insatiable plunderers be
made to disgorge, then it is not only
eminently but imperatively proper
that, the facts embodied in that report
should be communicated not only to
the House, but to the world.
GEN. HOWARD AND ms BUREAU.
Gen. Howard seems to be, in a cer?
tain sense, a good mau ; and in calling
upon the President to remove him
rJ^he head of the Freedmen's
teau, as wei did several days ago,
we did not meuu to imply that he was
a corrupt or wilfully dangerous of?
ficial. He is, however, a rabid fana?
tic; and all fanatics are dangerous
men if in official positions. It mattera
not that he believes himself to be up?
right and conscientious; for if he is
.eally one of these monomaniacs, he
.viii certainly do acts which a mau of
cleax'intelleet would shrink from. AVe
jopy from the Philadelphia Press, of
the 16th, the following paragraph,
which the reader will be nble to
weigh for himself when told that
Forney is responsible for its appear?
ance:
"Information upon which full re?
liance, can bo placed, proves that
Andrew Johnson is resolved to re?
move Gen. Howard, the Christian
chief of the Freedmen's Bureau, ii
he can find an excuse for so doing.
The report of (ions. Steedman and
Fullerton was made to suit Johnson's
veto message of the Freedmen's Bu?
reau bill, and to fulfill his predictions.
Their reporter was a correspondent of
the New York Herald, who, while at
Xewbern, offered to suppress his re?
port if paid by the agent of the Bu?
reau. This reporter is paid by the
H-'i-alil and by the Government for
hil work. (;otigress will probably
"appoint a committee to follow and
correct the dangerous statements of
the President's favorites. The de?
struction of the Freedmen's Bureau
is demanded by the traitors, though
it feeds more whites than blacks. "
A new species of shale has been
found in Antrim County, Michigan,
which, while it possesses idl the
qualities of bitumions coal, leaves a
residum of sandstone with a metallic
lustre. It burns mor?! readily than
cos?, and its immersion in boiling
water in no way injures its combus?
tible qualities.
A difficulty occurred in Washing?
ton, on the 15th, between a number
of Irish strikers and several freedmen,
who had been put to work in theil
places, in which the latter were badly
beaten.
The Tammany Society of New
York organized, on Saturday, by
electing Mayor Hoffman Grand
Sachem.
In Philadelphia there are upwards
of 4,000 places where ardent spirits

M & * m mM
TJtr Negro mid hi? Guanllsn Angeli,
The recent developments relative
to the practical workings of that na?
tional humbug, the Freedmen's Bu?
reau, in North Carolina and Virginia,
show a conditio u of affairs which will
put honest men to thinking seriously
upon the subject of the negro and
his guardian angels of the Freed?
men's Bureau.
Tho commission recently charged
with the duty of investigating and
reporting upon tho freedmen's affairs
j have honestly discharged their trust,
I at least in the States named, and the
exposure of the delectable system of
slavery which has taken the place of
the old style of involuntary servitude
can hardly fail of impressing the
negro himself with tho idea that his
old condition was the better one.
Under the flimsy pretext of pro?
tecting tho freedman in his newly ac?
quired rights, Seely, at Newbern, N.
C., gets their best services as labor?
ers for nothing, while the Rev. James
turns thei unmerited punishment to
good account by making them ditch
and till his plan tnt i (m. Again, a
young man named Fitz is placed in
charge of a colony of negroes in
North Carolina, and, in order that
his ma#r, Seely, may not be disap?
pointed in the monthly reception of
that "$1,000," the most unheard-of,
cruelties are practiced upon the poor
negro to extort from him the few
stainpsMie has earned or stolen from
the whites in and near Newbern. It
does not appear for what considera?
tion this monthly payment was de?
manded. It could not be for the rent
of the land upon which the settle?
ment is built, for Seely did not own
it, and the gentleman to whom it be?
longs has often demanded it in vain,
notwithstanding the order from
Washington for its restoration has
been exhibited repeatedly. In con?
nection with this North Carolina
wing of the Freedmen's Bureau, the
Commissioners might have made
some interesting discoveries had they
probed just a little the affairs of the
Freedmen's Savings Bank there. The
negro is naturally credulous, and it is
not a very difficult matter for his
"best friends" to show him the ad?
vantages of laying up Iiis treasure.
The workings of the system in
North Carolina, according to official
report, have succeeded in accomplish?
ing tin; debasement of the negro,
and in removing further from him the
friendship of those who best under?
stand his nature and his wants. The
officers, instead of protecting him and
striving to ameliorate his condition
by harmonizing the conflicting ideas
which govern the two races of people,
have widened the breach, injured the
ward they were appointed to protect,
speculated upon his ignorance, and
destroyed lils usefulness to the coun?
try. They were drawing pay from
the Government in the meantime.
This is certainly true in regard to
Virginia and North Carolina. The
Commissioners are yet to report from
South Carolina, when-, it is sup?
posed, the affairs of the negro bureau
arc in a condition equally deplorable.

j INHUMANITY ON TUE PART OP THE
I FREEDMEN'S BUREAU.-The Freed?
men's Bureau of this and other cities
are intended to give aid and comfort
to the negroes wherever it is required.
But in a case which came under the
notice ot the citizens of Memphis
I yesterday the officer attached to the
j bureau seems to have been derelict
I in his duty, and to have behaved in
! the most inhuman manner towards a
1 colored mau suffering from small-pox.
j The negro in question was well known
! in this city by the name of "Abe.''
i as he had worked for several of the
livery stable keepers. On Saturday
I morning he went to the Freedmen's
i Bureau, on Adams strei t, and repre
i st ilted to the officer that he was suf?
fering from U veiw severe attack of
small-pox, and wished to bo sent to
the hospital. The officer replied that
that could not. be done unless he paid
down ten dollars. As the negro had
not a cent in his pocket, he wandered
oil'and Uiy down in an alley between
Adams and Washington streets-to
. die. While he was lying on the street
information was sent to the bureau,
but at an early hour yesterday morn?
ing the poor fellow breathed his last.
In the afternoon he was buried nt the

T??J F?KIAI? OA-THER?NO.-The Fe?
nian demonstration, at Jones' Wood,
was not much of a shower after all.
There was a largo attendance and
some enthusiasm, but thdte was no?
thing like the excitement which mark?
ed the last great gathering of the
Fonians in the same place. Thc only
speech washy Head-Centre Stephens,
who frankly told his audience that
what he wanted was money. Ho de?
clares that there are 200,000 able
bodied'Fenians enrolled in Ireland,
and ready to take up arms; and that
of these, 50,000 aro in a state of splen?
ic 1 discipline, while another 50|000
are partially drilled and could- be
made effective in a short time.
How much truth there is in these
statements, no one knows hut Mr.
Stephens himself; but when ho goes
on to under-rate the military strength
of Great Britrin, and show how easy
\ it would bo to secure the independ?
ence of Ireland by fighting, he touches
i on ground upon which others aro as
well informed as himself. His state?
ments respecting the military weak?
ness of Great Britain are not true, aa
his own countrymen know very well.
We judge that Mr. Stephens will
find it up-hill work to revive thc
Fenian furore. A great deal of monej
has been paid out. and there is no?
thing to show for it; and if as much
more were contributed, there is nc
guarantee that it would help the causi
of Irish independence. The Ameri
can public, to some extent, sympa
thize with the Irish population ii
their desire for the liberation of theil
native land, but Mr. Stephens wil
hardly command their sympathies <>:
the support of the Irish in America
by mis-stating or under-stating tin
difficulties of t he case.

A METHODIST UNION MEETINQ.-A
! Convention of the non-Episcopal
I Methodist bodies of the United States
i (not as tho despatch of the Associated
j Press has it, of "the New Methodist
Episcopal Church") has assembled ut
' Cincinnati for the purpose of cftect
l-inga permanent union. At a preli?
minary meeting held last year, four
Methodist bodies-t-the American
Wesleyans, the Jfrec Methodists, tho
Independent Methodists, and the
Northern Conferences of the Metho?
dist Protestaids-were represented.
Last year the feeling among the meiji
her?s of Jihesc denominations was
unanimous in favor of a union, and
we believe such is still tho case. To?
gether, the four denominations re?
present a membership of about 70,
OOO. They all agree in an earnest
opposition to slaveholding, and tc
making any distinction among citi?
zens on account of color. The first
three have from the start made non
slaveholding a condition of member
ship, and the Northern portion of th?
Methodist Protestants have shared
though not the same legislation, a
least the same sentiments. Thc firs
three, we believe, have not a singh
congregation in the former slav?
States, and as regards tho Methodis
Protestants, only a portion of thosi
in Western Virginia have remainet
in connection with tho Conference
in the Northern ?tates. All the ethe
Southern Conferences have been an?
still arc; in full harmony with the sen
timents of the late slaveholders. Th
