the Froedmen's Bureau.
^ Generals SUdlmmi and Fullerton
btre at length made their report of the
working of thin institution. The re
port ielong and very interesting, giving^
lb fail account of the i||epeet1on made
in the Sutea of Georgia. AUhamx.
Mie^iaaippi, fjotii-nana and Vr
condense e* tract a from the report:
A great reduction in U?e expense* of I
. the.tSurqau. and a .reform which would
tender it far lew ohjec'ionable th ?n it

This would reduce the expense* flu

Ac., the fallowing amount* ;
Georgia. $34,584 per annum ; Ala

Louisiana, $55,984; Texn*. $l($89d ?
making; a total of $105,052 per annum.
All the labor performed by these employees,
except, perhaps, the occasional
cervices of a contract surgeon, migln
be discharged by details from thn
troops. In previous reports we have
recommended the merging of the diniv*
of the Bureau and the military. We
would agajn respectfully urge this amal
gamation. and that one'.set of officer?
ctioutttbe required to perform tb? jnin>
.duties thus avoiding "he expert** of
? maintaining two establishments.
The Bureau in. Georgia, under the
tnanagemeil of the present aide and
efficient assistant commissioner, JlrcCet
Major-General Tit-on. brut been bpne*!
ly .tdministered, and has accomplished
ell the good of which the system is ca
pable. It has l>?en assisted by the
Governor, the Judges of the Supreme
Court, by the civil authorities, and to
onto extent by the citizens. The
mended Uws of Georgia are fully as
liberal as those of any Northern S'.ate.
fnd place the negro in all respects on
peifect equality with the white man
- as to bis.civil eights. - *

General Swayne, the assistant cotuiuif
ioaer, ha* pursued a di crcet rtJjd ?n*
lighted policy ill adininieteriiig the affair*
of the Bureau, laboring on all occasions
to secure the .co-operation of
- the civil authorities.-and to obtain from
the judicial machinery of the State a
recognition of the right* essential to
the security ami well being of the freed
people. This policy of General Swavne
nas produced a tpttoli m->re kind j feel
iog toward* the Bureau than exis's
where its agents have us.-utned to exercise
judicial power*.

rule are kindly treated and fining
well. In this, a* in others we have ?jested,
the officer* of the Bureau formerly
imposed and collected fine*, ami many
kept no record*. We found a marked
ir stance of (hi* kind at Grenada, where
a former agent of the Bureau, Chaplain
Livertnore, did a thriving bunne** in
the way of collecting fine*, nailing ratios*
and Government horses and
. mulo*. This officer seem* not only to
ftare collected fines ranging from fifty
cents to fivedoilare from tha freed men
for marrying them, bin al*o attempted
* . to exact feet from resident wl?ite ministsr*
for giving them permission to mar-'
ym.- wj ireeamen. ? *
", -f zm S* \ . la cn^es. where the negroes were tin
*? " . able to pay the rum demanded of them
ft?r approving ikeir contract* of marryipg
them, the Chaplain levied on their
personal property, in ony c*"e seising a
negroV empty wallet and jack knife
for a balance of fifty cents, Thi? i-kxe
driving ii?"]trobably tcfbe accounted.for
by the fact that Chaplain Liverinnse
?>peniy expressed hi*, intention ,lr> return*
to Illinois with.(10.000 in hit pocket.
After he had b? en removed from hipost,
he offered a military. officer (SOfor
his influence to retain him in hfc
position. Chaplain Livertnore h-ft no
/?. ffieial papers behind to show the di*
petition he had made of the fund* re
reived. A farge amount of innney was
i?o collected by the fliet two agents at
Columbus, in -the shape cf foes 'and
fines, and, so far &* we could learn, no
, account was ever renrlered of it. This
class of officers Lava lately bean usustared
out. or have dinappearjd. Under
tbe present administration, the agents
?ierci?e no judicial powers.
Louisiana.?The Bureau in t^ts de
partment hi more in need of retrenchment
and reform, than in any other
State wa have visited. More inonev
has been collected, and more money
has been squanderer] in Louisiana than
in any other three Southern States.
The expenses of the Bureau,-as account
ed for. for the fiscal year, emlirig the
1st of June, 18U0, were over $.100,000.To
meet this- eajreuditure, there asere
collected in taxes and rents the follow.

The expenditure of the Bureau, on
ider the present adrfiini*trath>n, foi
agente, civilian cleik* and employee*,
about it* headquarter* alone, amount to
j not le** than $40,236 a year, exclusive
J of the pay of ifarff officers and orderlie*
in Hie military service.
A la jp* proportion of Hie money efc
pemled ihi tho freedmen school*. under
die adiuiui*tration of the Rev. T. W.
Conway, the late nwdatant commission
er. we are satisfied was squandered. Mr.
Ma'hew Wliilden, formerly chief clerk
in the echool .department?in evidence
before us?stated that in Sepletnlier,
1805, Cnot Pease. t)m school superintendent,
reported officially that there
were forty reboot* in operation, and in
a flourishing condition, when, in fact,
there were .but two.
From The sworn testimony it will be
seen that Capt, Morse, appointed provost
marshal of the Bureau,by Mr. Con
way, made the provost inanhal'* oftico
a slave pen, arresting freed men ami selling
them to planters at $5-a head, and
sharing the proceeds with his special
p- liceinai\~ who made the arrests This
officer further collected a large-amount
u$ money from freedenfti ar.d white per

nays $10,000 or $15,000a year a- rent.
