The Freedmen’s Bureau Commis
sion.
The Constitutionalist of yesterday
contains an interesting report of the
proceedings of a meeting of colored
citizens, held at Springfield Church, on
Sunday last, called- at the instance of
Generals Steedman and Fullerton, the
Commissioners appointed by the Presi
dent to enquire into the affairs of the
Freedmen’s Bureau.
The Churih was crowded to over
flowing, and was redolent with the
odors of “Lubin’s Extracts;” while
the choir filled the vacant space with
sounds melodious. General Steedman
proceeded to address the meeting,
stating the object of his mission, and
requesting some of the .colored people
present to givo him their views in re
gard to the operation of the Freedmen’s
Bureau.
In compliance wilh this request, Rev.
Mr. Drayton. Moses Gardner, Charles
Frazier, Robert Kent, and Dave John
son, all American citizens of African
descent, proceeded to give their views,
which covered a very wide range, ex
tending not only over the entire surface
of the Bureau, but taking in the rich
and poor, the Recorder’s Court, the
Police, and the region of Dublin, “so
called,” because of the large number of
respectable and industrious Irish citi
zens who live there and thereabouts.
’ Ope of the speakers, Moses Gardner,
very ungratefully, said that the United
States-Government- had not freed the
negro because they wanted to do so, but
simply as “a war measure.” Now,
although Mose may have been, ns we
have said, ungrateful, yet we admire
candor and truthfulness; for the Eman
cipation proclamation did only give the
negroes their 'freedom conditional upon
the continued obstinacy of “the Rebels”
t> yield to the United States Govern
ment. That contingency existed—the
obstinancy continued ; and the negroes,
consequently, became free. They owe
no thanks to the Government, therefore,
but are really and truly indebted to the
people of the South, the so called
Rebels, who persisted m their resist
ance to the Government. When we
say, therefore, that Mose was ungrate
ful, we must be understood as meauing
that he was ungrateful to his white
fellow citizens of the South, in neglect
ing to acknowledge them as the real
authors of his freedom.
Moaes also gave it as his opinion that
the better classes of white people were
disposed to do right by the blacks, while
the poor people were guilty of injustice
to them. In answer to a question from
General) Steedman, he said that “the
better classes” did not rule the city,
but that Dublin did, on Election days.
The Rev. Mr. Drayton was of the
opinion that the whites would have to
be educated up to the point of adminis
tering impartial justice to the blacks.
The entire proceedings seemed to
show that the Negroes present did not
understand the situation’properly, but
that they spoke or answered questions
according to their prejudices, and with
out any regard to facts or the issue be
fore them. ’ They appeared to labor to
convince the Comraissiou that the white
people would not give them justice,
while distinctions were made in this re
spect with regard to' the white people.
Now, an inspection of the Records of the
Courts will show how groundless is this
imputation. One of the speakers, Dave
Johnson, said that a colored man and a
white man had been brought before the
Recorder’s Court for keeping open their
establishments on Sunday; that the
white man had been dismissed,, but the
colored man was fined. The facts in
this instance are that the colored man
was found to be guilty, while, in the
other case, there was no evidence. Did
Johnson think that the colored man
ought to have been discharged, and the
white man fined ? That may have been
his idea of justice, but it is not the style
of administering it, either in the North
or South—neither in the Freedmen’s
Courts uor in the Civil Courts. There
are several cases where Negroes have
been dismissed, and white men found
guilty; and the disposition of the Courts
seems to be te give the negro all the
jeniency possible, but where there is any
guilt of a serious character, whether in
black or white, to punish it severely.
Johnson might have stated that there
vh a colored woman convicted recently
in the Recorder's Court, for some offence,
but as she had a family of small
children to provide for, who could not
subsist without protection, ho required
the prosecutor to provide for the chil
dren'during the woman’s imprisonment,
or she would be dismissed. This was
an act of humanity, which the speakers
did not mention. It is useless to say
that they were not aware of it, because,
if they desired to do justice it was their
duty to enquire into all tbo facts, and to
make a plain but full and impartial
statement.
In regard to the vote of the meeting
upon the action of Gen. Tillson, in re
ference to the negroes attempting to
strew flowers upon the graves of the
Federal dead, we have but little to aay.
That officer having done his duty, and
received the approval of his superiors,
need trouble himself very little about the
opinion of others. It was merely, we
suppose, as an act of courtesy that he
asked for “a show of hands” upon the
occasion refered to, and though the
meeting seemed to be pretty equally di
vided, it was, as Mr. Toots says “of no
consequence.” So far as the Mayor of
the city is concerned, we know he is de
termined to protect the negroes in all
their rights, and to see that they are not
imposed upon. We presume these facts
have all been properly laid before the
Commission, and we simply state them
here, to correct, as far as possible, the
false impression which the speeches, to
which we have referred, may possibly
create abroad.

Southern Medical & Surgical
JOURNAL I
Third series—
EDITED BY
JOSEPH JONES, M. D-;
Professor of Medical Chemistry in the Medial
College of Georgia, at Augusta; and
Formcrkt Surgeon in the
Provisional Army of the Confederate Stela.
The SOUTHERN MEDICAL and SUR
GICAL JOURNAL, of Augnsta, Georgia,
was established in 1836, by the late Professor
Miltou Antony, the illnstrious founder of
the Medical College of Georgia, and bus al
ways commanded the respect and patronaga
of the Profession, not only as one of the
oldest and largest American Periodietls,
but chiefly those valuable original com
munications, contributed by the most emi
nent, scientific men and practitioners of the
Southern States, which have enriched it!
pages during the past thirty years. The
volumes already issued, embrace over six
teen thousand closely printed pages, con
taining more than six hundred original
communications from professional men
throughout the Southern States, besides an
immense number of valuable articles, select
ed from its ample list of American and
foreign exchanges.
During the recent civil war, the publica
tion of tho SOUTHERN MEDICAL AND
SURGICAL JOURNAL was necessarily sus
pended. At tho close of a bloody and dis
astrous war, which has ended in the destruc
tion and surrender of the Southern armies,
and in the destruction and capture of the
archives of the Confederate Government, and
of tho immense stores of medical facts and
observations accumulated by the Medical
Officers of the Confederate Army, under the
direction of their intelligent and efficient
Surgeon General, it is believed by medical
men of the highost standing in this sectiea
of tho fcouth, that it is important to estab
lish at this time a Medical Periodical of
sufficient size to furnish ample room for the
publication of the valuable experience of the
Medical Officers of the late Confederate
Army.
It will be the earnest effort of tho Editor
to sustain the former usefulness of this
Journal as a medium for the communica
tion of tho discoveries and advancing doo
trines ofscienco and of all the department#
of Medicine, and of the facts and discove
ries tending to develop tho material pro«-
perity of the South, and especially of tho
valuable Medical statistics and observation!
of the reoent disastrous revolution.
In view of tho good accomplished in timoi
past by the publication of the SOUTHERN
MEDICAL AND SURGICAL JOURNAL,
the Editor feels no hesitation in urging ill
claims upon its former patrons and friends.
The SOU THERN MEDICAL AND SUR
GICAL JOURNAL will bo issued every
TIY 0 MONTHS, commencing let of July,
1866, and each number will contain ONE
HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-SIX PAGES
of printed matter, (octavo); the yearly
publication will therefore number One
Thousand and Fifty-six pages, and be equal
in size to the largest American and Euro
pean Journals.
