RECORDS OF LABOR
By Circular No. 5, I empowered the As
sistant Commissioner to do everything
possible to "quicken and direct the indus
try of the refugees and freedmen, that they
and their communities may do all that can
be done for the season, already so far ad
vanced, to prevent starvation and suffer
ing and - I ). omote good order and pros
perity. *
"Negroes must be free tuchoose their own
employers, and to be paid for their labor.
Agreements should be free, bona fide acts,
and approv d. by proper officers, and their
inviolabih enforcea on both parties. The
old system of overseers, tending to compul
sory, unpaid labor, and acts of cruelty and
oppression, is prohibited."
in consequence of the varied operations
of our armies, detachments of troops mov
ing over nearly every county of the insur
rectionary States, carrying to the negroes
the knowledge of their freedom, the whole
SyLtuieru country, even in the interior, had
its labor more or less deranged. I received
letters from every part of the country urging
me to try and settle this question, by fixing
• prices and exercising power, in one way or
atif(ittirr, over the laUorer, to the end that he
might Ce forced to work.
I aid not assent to tnese propositions, but
gave in Circular No. 11, dated July 12, 1865,
more specific regulations with regard to
contracts. I did not compel these contracts,
but advised them, hoping in that way to
secure quiet and order, and the necessary
sustenance. In this circular I cautioned my
officers against any substitute whatever fur
slavery; deprecated such public addresses
as werecalculated to create discontent, but
' required them to make a careful summary
of the principles, laws and regulations of
the Bureau, to be publicly and privately
read throughout their respective districts.
As a general rule, the circulars and orders
of the Assistant Commissioners were excel
lent, and in full accordance with the princi
ples I had enunciated.
With regard to prices of labor, as I antici
pated, experience has shown that ills better
to leave them to be regulated by the de
mand.
Minimum rates might serve to protect the
freedmen in many cases, but in scarcely
any place could he have exceeded those
rates after they were once established.
By fixing prices for itie auto owned, it is
impossible to discriminate sufficiently with
regard to the differences of sail' and ability
amongst that class.
Finding the plantation negroes inclined
to leave their homes and go to the cities, vil
lages and military posts, with no good pros
pect of work or support, I deemed it best to
have the agents at those places adopt a
system like the ordinary intelligence office,
and use every effort in their power to pro
cure good places where they could ffud sup
port, in whole or in part, for those who then
came together.
Industrial schools, established by benevo
lent associations, were encouraged to aid in
the absorption of this class of refugees.
Government farms, under charge of offi
cers of the Bureau, and those farms that had
been set apart or allotted, according to the
laws, have subservedllie purpose of absorb
ing the surplus population.
Still, however, there were authentic com
plaints of idleness, for which no rt - Mloll V
seemed to exist. I directed that thevagrant
laws of the respective States, so iar a., wey
applied to whites, be extended to fre-dfll.-41;
where this law authorized corporeal punish
ment, it was modified by the Assistant Com
missioner.
The wording of the law establishinz this
Bureau gave rise to the idea that the lands
of disloyal owners would be divided. autx - .1;
the freedmen.
Soldiers, colored and white, and others,at
one time spread, and doubtless magm, Led,
the same report, till the belief becarty , q
prevalent, in the interior of the Southern
States, that the government intended, at
Christmas or New Year, to effect this di
vision.
My impression is that many speculators,
- who desired to cheapen the lands, helped on
these stories. The freedmen., became sud
denly very averse to making any contracts
or agreement with the property holders for
the coming year, even the correction of false
reports does not always produce a willing
ness to enter into contracts.
My agents have striven to disabuse the
minds of the freedmen of impressions so
detrimental to their interests, urging them
to secure places of support, and aiding them
to get fair wages. My objection to the sys
tem I have' been obliged to adopt has been
its tendency to check individuality, not suf
ficiently encouraging self-dependency ; but
in process of time, as property shall change
hands, and the larger estates be broken up,
the necessity for so generally applying con
tracts will be obviated. Meanwhile, edu
cation unhindered, will work wonders to
stimulate individual enterprise. The re
sults of our present system of free labor will
appear in my remarks upon each State, and
pore fully in the reports of the respective
Assistant Commissioners. '
Of Schoola.—l found many schools already
in existence in those lmalities that had been
for some time within the lines of our army.
These were - established and , maintained, to
,a great extent, by benevolent associations
of the North. There - ccere, however,
inex
tensive government schools several of the
Southern States. Both classes have been
encouraged and aided as far as it was possi
ble, and a large number of self-supporting
schools -established by, the °Dicers ,aitd
agents of the Bureau. [Under the head, of
"Organization," I gave the method of super
intending the schoohi that was adopted by
the Bureau.
In many parts of the country the %hosti
lity of the white people to the schools' has
been undisguised, and every effort has
been made to get the 'buildings used for
school purposes away from the teachers. It
is difficult to describe the odium with which
the excellent self-denying school teachers
are met; doubtless the treatment to which
they are subjected arises in part from the
feelings engendered by war but it is mostly
due to prejudice against- educating the
blacks, and the belief that the teachers are
fostering social equality. , It is right, how
ever, to say thap i there re many Southern
mea who earnestly advocate the introduc
tion of schools, and several churches have
established them in connection with their
organizations.
Of Quartermaster's Supplies.—From Sect.
2 of the law establishing the Bureau, speci
fic authority is derived for issuing certain
quartermaster's stores, such as clothing and
fuel, for the destitute; these were furnished
upon my requisition by the orders of the
Secretary of War.
During the war many of the officers of the
Quartermaster's Department were detach d
as Superintendents of Freedmen, account
ing through their Chief to the Quartermas
er General. These officers were, many of
them, transferred to me with the public
property they had on hand.
I deemed it best that the Quartermasters
detailed should keep up a connection with
their own departments, as is done in the
Ordnance 'and Engineer Corps, but this
system has not worked well at a distance
from Washington. My officers and agents
have complained everywhere of their ina
bility to procure offices, fuel, quarters,
stationery and other stores upon their re
quisitions, without the special order of the
Secretary of War. This embarrassment has
arisen from the absolute dependence of this
Bureau upon other btreaus of the War De
partment, there being no appropriation of
funds.

I recommended the meeting of the wants
of the destitute refugees and freedmen by
the issue of such Quartermaster's stores as
were on hand and could be spared, upon
which request was based General Order No.
147, War Department, current series, con
fining the clothing and equipage to those
unfit for use to troops. This order will re
lieve the assistant Commissioner of much
difficulty, and atford a partial remedy for
the great destitution without special cost.
The great proportion of supplies to the desti
tute have been furnished turough the Com
missary and Medical Department.

In .order to systematize financial m itters,
I placectitt'the head Ottilil3 division, Lieut.-
Colonel George W. Ballocb, detailed from
the Subsistence Department. In addition to
bis duties .as chief financial agent, he had
aided me in commissary matters. I take
pleasure in embodying his clear and able re
port in my own, as follows :
Congress, when it created the Bureau,
made no appropriation to defray the expen
ses; it has, however, received funds from
miscellaneous sources, as the following re
port will show:
In several of the States, Virginia, North
and South 4atina, Georgia, Louisiana,
Mississippi, T•xe nessee, Kentucky, Arkan
sas, Missouri, id the District of %ioluinuia,
the interests ofthe freedmen were under
the control of military officers assigned by
the War Department, previous to the organi
zation of the Bureau. Their accounts be
came naturally absorbed in the accounts of
the Bureau, and the following report em

dirlary means of self support, they will
doubtless secure the necessary aid.
The medical officer , of thistßureau, at the
best, eau afford but partial relief. •
Of Justice—As all Matters relating to
refugees and freedmen were committed to
my seperVision - ind ma.nagerttent by the
law, and as the oldcivil codes in the several
insurrectionary States had 'becOme practi—
cally null and void so far as they related
t i
to the' negro, it b came necessary to lay
down some gener , rule for the officers of
the Bureau, concer ing the administration
of justice. At firs I confined. myself to the
following instructs ns :
- VI. Simple good faith, which we hope on
all hands from those concerned in the pas
sing away of slavery, will especially relieve
the Asststant Co9missioners In the dis
charge oT their duties towards the freed
men, as well as to promote the general
welfare. The Assistant Commissioners will
everywhere declare and protect their free
dom, as set forth in the proclamation of the
President and the laws of Congress.
VII. In all places where there 4 is an in
terruption of civil law, or in which local
courts, by reason of the.old codes, in viola
tion of the freedom guaranteed by the pro
clamation of the President and the laws of
Congress, disregar4ed the negro's right to
justice before the 1 ws in not allowing him
to give testimony, the control of all subjects
relating to refugees and ffeedmen being
committed to this Bureau, the Assistant
Commissioners will adjudicate, either them
selves or through officers of their appoint
ment, all difficulties arising between ne
groes themselves, or between negroes and
whites or Indians, except those in military
service, so far as cognizable by military
authority, and not taken cognizance 9r by
other tribunals, civil or military, df the
- United States.
On the latter paragraph was based the
reference of freedmen's eases to provost and
freedmen's courts.
The provost courts were established gene
rally by the Department Commander, and
cases passed through him for revision. In
the great majority of instances that have
come to my knowledge, these courts have
decided fairly; but there are some excep
tions,where officerscomposing tbeni,having
the infectious prejudice against the negro,
have discriminated very much against his
interest, and meted out to those wno abuse
him, either by extortion or violence, pun
ishment in no way commensurate with the
offences.
The freedmen's courts have been consti
tuted wholly or partially of officers of the
Bureau. It was impossible to multiply such
courts, on account of the Scarcity of oilicers.
I therefore resorted to the practice of asso
ciating civilians with these officers for the
settlement of minor cases, arid with limited
powers as to punishment, in no case exceed
ing one hundred dollars tine, or thirty days
int prison nien t,
In Alabama the offer was extendeaby the
Assistant Uotninissi,,ner to the Provisional
Governor to Ihrthe of the civil Courts of his
appointment fieedman's courts, provided
the Judges would at,..ept such re,:ogintion.
'early all in the State did so. I approved
of this action, belieVing it to be necess iry to
test thecivil judges ;is to their disposition to
do justice to the freedmen. The agents of
the Bureau were required to act as fur as
possible as the advueAtes of the freednaeu
in these courts, and the right to withdraw
recognition was in he hands of the Assis
tant Condnissionbr
Favorable reporti have come from nearly
every quarter us the State, yet grave anuses
have been eomplatiLed of from the courts in
the northern 6ectioLis bordering upon Ten
nessee and Georgia:
By the means referred to, the freedmen
have been allowed suits anti testimony in
Alabama. A similar course was pursued
in Mississippi, but with partial succors. In
Louisiana suits and testimony were al
ready allowed under the State government,
and the civil courts have hem' tried to same
extent in that State. Recently, civil magis
trates have received recognition by We A -
sistant Commissioner in tieorgia. with simi
lar direLtions and restrictions to those in
Alabama. In South Carolina the Military
Division Commander, General Meade, took
the matter out of my hands, making an ar
rabgethent with toe Provisional iiiiveroor,
that freedmen's cases should be brought
before proVost courts. In Hp. other States
action has been much . the scone as in Ala
bama and ississippi, excepting in Vir
ginia, where the State officials could not,
under their State constitution, serve as
United States officers.
I would call your special attention to
these courts in the several insurrectionary
States, called into existence by the pressure
of necessity, and easily transferable to State
tribunals as soon as the States shall have
met the requirements of the general govern
ment, and become prepared to administer
equal justice. It would seem just, however,
to have some provitsion of law extending
United States jurisdiction to the freedmen
while they remain wards of the government.
Freedmen's United States Courts, to exist
for a term of years, would be a veryeffec
tive instrument to relieve these people from
the ;,justice incident to a forced etnaticipa
tion; 1 Mean on the part of those who
fought against emancipation, and are too
full of prejudice and ignorance to believe in
freedom.

I have interfered as little as possible with
ex, L.a. cis like marriage, paupers,apprenti
ship of orphan minors, etc., yet have
directed the Assistant Commissioners to
i-3, , tncl the State laws made tOr the white , ,
as far as practicable, to the freedmen. I u
t, it Is the easiest and best way p
to so've every troublesome problem ”r
posed, relating •to negroes by the time
honored rulesestablished by wise legislation
for other people. Marriages have been
carefully registered in every State, and
quite a large number of orphans have been
apprenticed in different parts of the United
States to people of good , character, and
under humane and liberal ,regulations.
Should the care of all the paupers of freed
men be thrown upon the general Govern
ment, it will be necessary to use some of the
public lands for relief farms, and to rent or
purchase farms in the counties or districts
inhabited by the freedmen.
Eventually the freedmen themselves will
be able to sustain this expense, but not
now. Without doubt the property of the
district, county, or town, should by some
means be made to defray it. I urge attdn
tion to this subject, especially as there is
danger that during the coming winter a
large number of dependents, old men,
women, and children, may be left by former
masters to shift for themselves, and, unless
allowed to suffer, become a tax, to the
general government.

- There are hospitals .- in Washington and
Alexandria, and at Freedmen's Village,
where all patients absolutely destitute
are treated. Outdoor physicians attend
those who can be partially bared for at their
homes.
Five intelligence offices are in operation,
where unemployed freedmen are furnished
situations. A great number have thus
found employment.
Many complaints have been received of
abuses committed in Maryland. The ap
prenticeship laws of that Suite allow many
harsh proceedings, as the law does not ad
mit colored testimony. that could be
done has been done in these cases. The
government farms in Maryltuid have been
successfully managed. Thirteen hundred
acres have been cultivated! Wheat, corn
and tobacco comprise the principal crops.
I do not feel that the difficul,t problems
given me have been solved, hor do I hope
fOr complete and satisfactory results in the
work of this Bureau. Yet I, firmly believe
that the same just God that conducted us to
reedom will so continue to direct us that
we shall be able to keep the pledge we have
MISCELLANEOUS
made, that that freedom shall be a substan
tial reality..
Very respectfully, your ob't serv't, •

A RUNAWAY RAIMIOAD TBArx.—The first'
instance that ever came to our knowledge
of a train running away from its conductor
occurred yesterday on the Erie road, at
Avon. The morning (train from this city
stopped at Avon to dine. While the con
ductor, b . rakemen, and some eight or ten
passengers were at the table, the engineer
took his signal to start from the wrong per
son, and went on his-Way towards Corning.
As the train approached Livonia the signal
was given to brake, but was not responded
to and the train ran by the station. The
engineer backed up and went back to see
what was the matter. He found the train
was without conductor or brakemen. He
received a telegram from the conductor that
he was following with an engine, and waited
accordingly. Misfortunes do not come
singly. The engine which the conductor
bad procured at Avon to convey himself
and passengers to Livonia broke down soon
after starting, and the party bad to return
and get a carriage, with which they drove
to Livonia. The result of the mishap was
that the train reached Corning nearly three
hours behind time.
One of the passengers who was left with
the conductor eating his breakfast, hail
$17,000 in a satchel which he had left in the
car, and a lady had money and valuables to
the amount of over $2,000 in her satchel.
These passengers were extremely anxious
to overtake the runaway train, and were
much relieved from anxiety when they se
cured their satchels all right. It was a mis
hap that might not occur again in many
years.—Rochester (N. Y.) Union.
TITE sentence of Wilson, the murderer
of Mrs. harshen, at Kingston, New York,
has been commuted to imprisonment for
life.
