TrcMlraen’s Unri-nn—Conlliiucil.
the war and for some time alter the ces
sation of hostilities, the Freedmcu’s Bu
reau did good. The peopledf the bouth
having at first no faith in the negroes
working under a free labor system, were
desirous of getting rid of them, and dur
ing the summer of 18G5 judicious Bureau
and military officers did much toward
restoring order and harmony, and indu
cing the people of the South to resume
the cultivation of their plantations by
employing the freedtnen. Before the
close of 18C5 there was an entire revolu
tion in the sentiments of the people of
the South with regard to negro labor. A
feeling of kirldncssspraug up towards the
freedmen, resulting, perhaps, mainly
from thO conviction that his labor was
desirable and profitable, and the only la
bor to be had. The necessity of the Bu
reau then ceased. Since then, it has been
productive, in the aggragate, of more
harm than good.
The best protection the Freedman has
in the South is the value of his labor in
the market, and if he is left free to dispose
of this, at all times, to the highest bidder,
unshackled by contracts made for him by
Bureau officers, no apprehensions need be
felt for his safety or his success. If the
freedmen could at this moment demand
the wages which the high price of the
products of the South Would justify, one,
dollar per day and board would be the ru
ling wages, instead of ten or twelve dol
lars per mouth, the prices now paid. But
they cannot take advantage of the de
mand for their labor; they are bound by
contracts, enslaved for twelve months,
through the agency and influence of the
Freedmen’s Bureau. The hands on the
Mississippi River steamboats were not
required to make contracts, and they are
getting $4O per month and their board,
for labor less exacting than that of a plan
tation negro. Tire freedmen of the Oge
chee and Savanah-Rivets are getting on
the rice plantations from $lO to $l5 per
month, under contract fortire year, while
the laborers employed o« the Georgia Cen
tral Railroad, which runs between these
streams, are getting $l. 50 a day. Some
complaints were made to us by the plan
ters on the Savannah River that their la
borers were discontented, and did not
work as required by their contracts. One
of the planters,, a practical, liberal-mind
ed man, explained the cause of discon
tent to be the low wages at which the ne
groes were hired. He. said, •' I can get
hands enough, and good work done, too,
by paying a dollar a day and rations, and
I am paying that and expect to pay even
more. The negro Is going to make all lie
can.out of his freedom, and ho has a right
to do so.” • The enlightened policy advo
cated by this gentleman—a policy, strong
ly in accordance with justice and sound
political economy—is defeated by the con
tract system inaugurated and forced into
§ radical operation by the officers of the
'reedmen’s Bureau. We met with in
stances of freedmen working for ten 'dol
lars a month and rations under yearlv
contracts sanctioned by the Bureau,
while in the same field doing the same
work, other freedmen not under contracts
were getting one dollar a day and rations
lu.all of the large towns of the Mississip
ni-valley, during the months of May and
June, planters were offering one dollar a
day and rations for freedmen, while un
der the sanction of the government, given
by the officers and agents of the Bureau,
thousands of freedmen were working
■under contract for ten dollars per month.
If the freedmen are left free to contract,
the demand for their, labor and competi
tion among employers will secure them
good wages and treatment.
Weare unable to discover why the sim
ple rules which regulate and control the
relations of labor and capital in theNorth
em States should not obtain as well in the ,
South; why the national government
should permit the laboring men to sell
hi? labor to the highest bidder in one sec
tion of the country and appoint an agent
to sell it for him in another section. It is
undoubtedly true that if the freed people
of the South were not bound by contract,
their wages would be at least fifty per
cent, higher at this time than they" are,
and there would be Jessdiseontent among
the freedmen than now exists, and far
less for the agents of the Bureau to
perform. It must not be inferred form
what we have written that we are opposed
to tbefreedmen contracting with the plan
ters. By no means. We believe the very
lest thing they can do is to make con
tracts, either for a share of the crops or
liberal wages; but we are opposed, to
agents of the national' government assu
ming to hire them out, prescribing the
twin of service, and stipulating for the
wages to bepaid thorn. They are not free
so long as any such, control is exercised
over them, nor can they ever-receive just
reward for their labor while t they are
compelled to hire within a given time for
a specified term. In Mississippi, and oth
er States, freedmen were compelled,-by
orders from officers of the Bureau,, to .en
ter into contracts within limited periods',
which enabled all who wanted hands'to
get them, at low wages, while, If the freed
meu had not been interfered with, the de
mand for labor would have enabled them
to secure just remuneration.
THE CONTRACT SYSTEM A NEW SI.AVE SVS-
TEM,
The system of > contracts now existing
in the South, aridenforced by the Bureau,
is simply, slavery in a new form. What
is the differenceto the negro, whether he
is sold for live, dollars,. or.five thousand
dollars for thirty years to thirty masters,
or for thirty years to no master ? It is in
voluntary servitude in either case, and a
practical defeat of the emancipation pro
clamation of President Lincoln. If the
freedman leaves work to seek employ
ment at' better wages, he is arrested ns a
vagrant hy order of the Freedmen’s Bu
reau, and put to' labor on the road with
ball and chain, is as provided by an order
recently issued by General Scott/ Assis
tant-Commissioner for South Carolina.
If,.faligued from overwork, he desires to
rest dbr.a day, if he leaves the plantation
toylaitarelatl ve or friend, it is made a pen
al offense, and a fine of $5O is imposed, as
will be seen by circular INo. 4, of Gener
al Kiddbo, Assistafit-Commissioner for
Texas, a copy of which is hereto annexed,
marked “ E.” If he refuses to contract
at all, he is arrested by;tlie Bureau pro
vost-marshal and sold for a few dollars to
the nearest planter, as in the case of Cap
tain Morse, of New Orleans,! already re
ferred to. The freedman has nothing to
sell but his labor, and we are strongly of
the opinion that he oughttobe permitted
to obtain for It the highest price it will
bring. If he is a freedman, it is neither
just nor lawful for any person to assume
control of him, and certainly not more
just or lawful for an officer of the Freed
man's Bureau to do so than for a South
ern planter..
Very respectfully, your obedient servants,
James B. Steedman,
Major. General Volunteers.

Chaining.—After haying aud/fiarvest
is a good time to reclaim swamp land by
cutting a surface drain, or by laying tiles.
We have great faith In good surface drains
to carry off the great amount of water
that fails, and it has the advantage of be
ing cheaper than tiles.
ll@“Horses and cattle should have free
ventilation. Let. the cow houses and
stables have a free current of air, and your
stock will be healthy. It is a good plan
to keep them up during hot days, and
turn them out at night.
Rainy D?ys.— Harrow wheat and bar
ley stubble, and when the weeds get a
start, plow them under; they will help
to enrich the land; but do not let them go
to seed.
Seed Wheat.—Select the very best por
tion of your field for seed ; taking the larg
est and finest heads, will greatly improve
the quality.- Take care to .have them as
tree from weeds as possible.
