After reading your sta‘- utes and toflectirg somewhat -t arefully upon the subject, L have decided to nsk the titato authuruiv to ii struct t-uch of the Justices of the Peace lor the militia districts, and Ordinaries of the counties, us 1 may select, to act to the extent of their jurisdiction as a gents of the Bureau. And l tell you 1 candidly, that should my reqm st bo •granted, I shall Ic guided solely in iny selection by the considerations of competency and fitness, without the slightest reference to the political op.a* ions or past political actions ol tlic.se officers. If so be they are honest, conscientious men, and will do simple justice to all persons without ref ‘it nec to color, then they will answer the purposes ot the Bureau uduiirabdp. 11 this arrangement cm be cm ■ nat.-d. it will enable the people to a jii't ai! minor differences, and maintain the poliecc of the country through the convenient channels to which they have been accustomed, and will, 1 hope, remove much of the irritati >n that now exists, and which so often breaks out into open violence. The officers and agents of the Bureau in this State will be particularly in. mructed and required tube patient, oblig’ng and forbearing. At the same time let me remind you, that when day j after day an officer has witnessed the j vvidences ot’ outrage® practiced upon these people, when tin y have been t ming, as they do come, one al cr another, with their backs torn to the lush, bruised, out, sbet, und maltreated, and when it would almost seem as though there was a ; universial disposition to persecute them, his sorrow and disgust m.y lurn to anger; and while in this mood, ■and boiling with indignation, a gentle man, who abhors such conduct towards the freed men a> thoroughly as himself, Ihav enter the office, and not be treated with the respect and consideration to ■which lu* i justly entitled. You certainly'will be willing to overlook ■such an accidental occurrence You will remember that Acre is no settled purpose o, reLriati n, but that there is a settled, well esfadlighed polej of conciliatioo. I know that officers have been found naturally cheap and contemptible enough, or o anxious to please and white people whose flattery they accepted, as to use their power ina tyrannical and oppressive manner towards the colored people. The white people may have used such men, but they certain-y despised them. I assure yn. tfcat if I have the mortification to find such an off eer in the Bureau in this State, he shall not only be dismissed but disgraced, if I can possibly have it done \\‘e mean to serve the people, and really hope to benefit them, but not at the expense of justice or manhood. There is no need of mistaking conciliation and kindness, imbecility or cowardice. Let us act with never so mud caution or care, we may We mistaken and may do wrong, but it will not bet intentional, and ifshwon, nothing shall be left un done to put the matter right or making restitution. The whole subject is surrounded by difficulties and even dangers, and nothin; will remove them, or iuiproove the condition of society but time, patience, kin Ine-s and forbearance wisely but firmly j applied. The wrongs and offences arc by no means wholly upon the one si ! e or the other. But 1 say frank’y, that ; from my experience, I antic pate much mure ‘difficulty will be found in indcing the ignorant freed people to become law abiding, peaceful and indu-trious citizens, than in compelling the white ! people to refrain from cruel tv and iujustic towards them. The latter understand tie Ai own interests and when once the present bad temper and irritation,’ which if 5 n dural enough, and to be expected, have passed away, j I have no dent that tin y wHI he govern ! ned in their intercourse wit *’. • freed people as their if ; * lictaKs, and this wall far : .wards removing ; the evils which r. w offlict society. ] let I know theuc arc a class of pers j Tons who can t nly be restrained fn>,u cru’ry by sheer force —who arc sj igi , orant and brutal, thst they even inta- Sine there is postive merit in bating, | despising and trampling upon an infer’ i r race, and who openly make a boast j !<t their o.vn shame. \ou cannot change the intentions and opinions of, these people, hut they can be made to shrink lroiu tlm quick, sharp, certain punishment of a military tribunal This is the only experience likely to 1 me fit or improve such persons. ‘1 he officers of the Bureau will b* lusher iustiucteJ, Gil no account to say any tl>in< r which will increase tile t.l feeling existing between the taccs, but ou the contrary ti do every ttnng in thoir p'rwor —to lose no opportunity ct ■ removing tl e prejudice of the one, and the suspicion of the other. This is the best and most certain mode of ameliorating the condition ol the freed* men and securing prosperity to the white man. There is no reason why a master who was kind and humane to liis'slaves, as l believe a large ma jority were, should not be trusted by , rlie freedman now no reason why an honest, industrious, wclliiueaninj IV ednian, and a just and honorable white man, however widely apart tlicir social con ditions, should not be real j friends,'interested in each other’s wel fare, and even ready to protect, main’ ta'n an 1 defend ench other’s right The interests of the people are not antagonistic; it is for the interst of the white man to secure reliable, ti u t wor thy labor —it is equally for the j interest of the freedman to become an I honest, industrious, and skillful work'’ j man. For the present certainly, and so far as human fores'ght can perceive for the future, the welfare of the two races is inextricably hound up tog< til er ; whatever hurts the one, jnjurcs the other; whatever benefits the one, helps the other, whoever stirs up j stritc and ill leeling between the races, no matter upon what pretext, is a pub j lie enemy, ands! ould be so reg uded j and so treated. Getting angry and ! using violence can only make matters worse, and an officer of the Bureau ! who is unable or unwilling t> accept facts as they really exist, and who is | bent on maintaining som particulai j theory can only do mischief, and is unfit'for his [dace, however honest in ! his co .victions, j The officers and agents of the Bureau in this State will be constantly reminded that above a 1 other things, ! they are to endeavor to do simple jus< i ticc. end to do even that as kindly, dis tinctly and pleasantly as possible un der the circumstances. The experi ment of free labor i3*yet to be lairly tried. In some instances it has suc ceeded admirably, in many others it has been a failure. Scarcely any* tiling else, under the circumstances, could reasonably have been expected. There is ro material object that can engage the people of this State, of such vast importance to them, as the success of this system. It is to be j hoped that the people, for their own , sakes, will not allow any passion or prejudice, however honestly they may entertain it, to interfor with, or prevent success. 1 have explained frankly the real objects and inactions of the Bureau. 1 cannot help feeling they will meet with your approbation and approval. There is nothing in iho act of Congress creating it, nothing in the policy of the I Bureau, or in the attitude ol the gov. , eminent, hostile or menacing to the people of the South. Vou know how i great the suspicion of the freed men,, j hoav thoroughly they distrust ihcir for ; mer masters, and h'ow readily they ! bcliive and confldc in the sttitcmcnts j and representations of officers of the Bureau, whom they justly regard as j their friends. You can rcadly under j stand, that it is in our power to be of great service to the people, and I can 1 assure you it is anxious desire to ren 1 dcr it. You have only to asccptinc’ | good faith the few simple, and cer tainly not hard or unreasonable, condi tions imposed by the Govermoot, by allowing the free dir. on fair coiupensa- 1 rion for labor, and just treatment and ! I promise you our heartiest, most cons* i . taut and most earnest co-operation in j j inducing and compelling the freed men to labor faithfully, and in restoring the j Suite to its Junior peace and prosperity (Tlk. ?otttlrnt .(tnkqubt .
