NEW-YORK DAILY TRIBUNE, and that it was simply the abuse of this | forbearance that compelled the loyalists to seek legal security in an amended Constitution, The lawful- ness of the Convention is sustained by the Governor, who yet admits that the question was for the Courts to decide, but does not yield to the judgment of a | mob. He emphatically declares that the riot was | prearranged by the leading Rebels, Mayor Monroe | included, and holds justly that security of loyal men, and the peace of the Government depends upon im- partial suffrage. The resolutions of the Saratoga Couvention are but empliatic, They fully indorse the Presi- dent’s policy, and deprecate the action of Congress. At the same time, with au inconsistency which we de plore, they express joy at the restoration of Tenn see, which was a Congressional act, and understood to be deprecated by the President, Congress showed no reluctance to admit Tennessee, after she had proved ber loyalty, as the almost unanimous vote has proved. Another resolution declares that the resnlts of the war have decided the questions out of which it arose, but the results of the war have been so far nullified by the results of the President’s policy very questions are again gent law before the country. Senator Dovlittle’s speech at Saratoga is entirely based upon a misrepresentation of the Union party. touching picture of the rflin of Charleston to show that the sufferings of the Rebels were commensurate with their crimes. But that is not the question at 1¢, and Mr. Doolittle has profited little by the de- bates in the Seuate if be does not know it. The Union poliey is not to inflict yengeance upon the South, but to establish justice in all the States, We may sympa- as deeply as Mr. Doolittle, with the misery of outhern people, witbont sacrificing the results of the war, The truost kindness to the South is now to save it from its own folly and injustice, P S —— THE TRUE BASIS, The Times says, with reference to the axiom that “ Governments derive their just power from the con- sent of the governed,” that “Tae Trmt x& wosders why we do not attempt to show that its pusition is wrong." —0no! What we challenged you to do was to “ attempt to show either that our Rerolutionary fathers icere wrong, or that we have misapprebeaded and misapplied their doctriges. We are open to conviction. Where is the argument calculated to produce it? Were our fathers right or wrong in proclaiming and staking their all on the proposition that ‘“Governments derive their just power from the consentof the governed 1" If that was | true in '76, then it has not been made false by the cannon of Grant or the saber of Sheridau, The Times says: It was not only ¢ people of Sowrhern people, but all t o deck ether the ornot.

The *“ harp of a thousand strings™ played on by the Disunion con- | spirators was ** coercion "—Northiern threats to sub- jugate aud bold the South in vassalage. Had it heen clearly proclaimed and understood that the North left the South at perfect liberty to go ot stay, the Dis- unfonists would have been paralyzed. But speculation is idle, The Secessionists were beaten in the votes of the Sonthern Whites at the elections called by their leaders in the Winter of 1260-61. The votes are on record, though the con- spirators shirked popular clections wherever they could. It is demonstrated that a majority of the snthern Whites were against Disunion down to the “ firing of the Southern heart " by the bombardment of Fort Sumter, By thus initiating War, the conspirators secured, what they had never before had—popular support. Under the ery of * Defend your homes and families:” * Lin- coln hag invaded the South—be is waging unprovoked war upon us!"—they overawed and crushed out all overt resistance to their schemes. From that hour, the overthrow of Slavery, the recoguition of the Blacks as mombers of the budy politic, became a Na- | tional necessity—as it till is. On the great principle afirmed by onr fathers, the right of the Union in the South depends on her Four Millions of loyal Blacks, without whom that section is preponderantly, im- placably Rebol. As Canning “‘called into existence & new world to redress the balance of the old,” so it Dbecame necessary to the Republic to recognize and chamwpion the manbood of her Black freedmen. Their perfect enfranchisement is as vitalto the Union &5 to themselves. Without this, the South is a source not of National strength, but of National weakness. —We cannot give space to an exposure of The Times's dexterous juggling a3 to our," urging” Mr. Lincoln to offer terms of peace; nor is that material, ‘We deal rather with what is living and essential, It Rays: * THe TRIBUNE now denounces as Copperheads and trai all who advocat the right of the Southern States to reprosen tation in Congrese, unless they will first consent to surreader wholly the representation of their colored population.” ~No, Sir! just the contrary is the trath, We de- sire the Southern States to surrender nothing, but to ak up both | to work out the right, accept representation—instant and ample—for all their people.—But again: Carll, st the north-west corver of Courtlandt and Washington- | Was sustained against the more recent facts asserted sta., wnd s0on became engaged in & row, during which the pro. | Ly Prof. Adams, The Academy will remain in session prietor was shot by MeCormick. ‘The entire party then made | ¢i]| Saturday. thoir escape.

Hatbaway was the Democratic candi date for Judge in Daviess Connty, Ky., at the recent election, and we presume is chosen. He came near being beaten, Lowever, by a report set afloat by some adversary that he had not been true to the Rebel cause in the late struggle. But Mr. Hathaway met the calumny promptly and squarely in a circular, wherein he say “X heand with falsehood a report set in circulation, which the article below will show to be as malicious, as mean and as false as foundationless, By some one, it is necdless to say wcho, it has been reported that T deserted the Southern Army and persuaded my sons to do likewise.

I'thought Mr, Hathaway too old to go into the army as a private, and [ knew that bo could not live in the South with- out means, and I advised Mr, Hathaway to return home and do the best ho could.

Much depeads fnall | tho States upon the success of this year's crop. Bat little oncouragement bas been given to the operations of the Burean | by the citizens of any State, except Alabama and Georgla, in which the Assistant-Commissioners, Wiison and Swayns, have removed much of the prejudice sgainst tie Bureaa by securing the coiperation of the civil antlorities, A reduction in expenses of the Bureau renders it far less objectionable | than it isnow, The discoutinuance of paid employés not in | the military service of the Goveromest woold reduce ex- | penses for clorks, contract surgeons, hospital astewards, &c., 0 the following amonats: Georgla, $31.5¢4 per aonum; Alad Mississippi, 830,276 per annum; Lou) nam; Texas, §10,%96 per sunum, Total, $163, All the labor performed by these employés mizbt be dis- charged by dotails from the troops. Ia previona reports we have rocommended the mergiag of the duties of the Barean and the military. We would sgain urge this amalgamation. Oae set of oiticers should be required to per- | form the joint daties, ‘We bave stated our opinion of the effect of the oparation of the Bureat on the labits of freedmen, and thetr disposition to labor and sopport themselyes. We Bave seen nothing in sud- sequont fovestigations to induce usto chasge the views ex- pressed in past reports, We now speak in detall of the Da- | reau in the States we havo visited.

It has been assisted by the Gov ernor, Judges of the Supreme Court, and civil aatborities and to some extent by citizens. The amended laws of | Georgia are fully as liberal as those of any Northern | State, Notwithstanding this fact, we | have found | that agents of the Bureau have takon cases out of the hauds of the civil authorities, and disposed of them in a manner never contemplated by the laws of the State. Tho freedmen of (ieorgia, where we went through the State, were geverally at work, and wherever their wages were remunerative and regu- larly paid they were contented and doiug well. In Alabama Major-Gen. Wager Swayne, Commissioner, has pursued a dis- creet, libera), and enlightened policy, laboring to secare the codperation of the civil authorities and to obtain from the Jjudicial machinery of the State @ recognition of the rights ‘essential to the well-being of freed people. Sabordinate agent Lave been guilty of considerable irregularities. The following named officers and agents are engaged in planting . A. A. G, G. A. Harmoant, agent at : Metiogg, sgent at headquartors, late Chief Quartermaster, C. W Buckly, Superiatendent of Educat- ion; 8. S. Gardener, late agent at Selma. Our attention was called to the allsged miscondact of the agent nt Greenyille, in selling Government rations, but as Gen. Swayne himself had undertaken to investigate the matter, we did not inquire into the case. We found the | froedmen in Alsbama working well on the planta | , but | the beavy raius bad swollen the streams out of their banks, doing immonso damage to the crops, and some approbensions were felt that the freedmen who were working on sbares would lose their labor, and would ot be able to make subsistence for themselves and families. In Mississippi | Major-Gen. Thomas J. Wood has improved upon the admiais- tration of his predecessor, Col. Samuel Thowas, whose policy was not calenlated to produce hirmony between tbe races, “There is still more ill feeling existing between the whites and blacks in Mississippi thau elsewhers, There are causes oper- ating in localities beyond the control of tLe Bureau, producing antagonism and bloodshed. At Grenads an organiz»d band of desperadoes have, for some time past, beld the town in terror. In April last they murdered Lieut. Blanding of the Buresu. The rospectable citizens strongly condemn the crime, and sought to Dhave the mor- derers brought to justice. At Meridian a condition of things nearly as bad prevails. Mojor J. 7.

Al tho very lowest estlmate, the property takow possossion of as confiscated or abandonsd amousted in valus 10 810,000,000, and the rents returned as above mentioned are less than one per cant on the entire value, The expecditure of the Barean under the present admisistration, for agents, cirilian clerks, aod emplojés about its headquarters alove, amount to wmot less thau 10236 a year exclusive of the pay of staff officers and orderlies in the military service. A large proportion of the money expended oa the freedmen’s schools, under the administration of the Rev. W. Conway, the late Assistant Commissioner, we are satisfied, was squandered, Mr, Matthew Whildes, for- merly in the School Department, stated in Seplember, 1865, that Capt. Pease, Superintendent, reported officially thers were 10 achools in operation snd in flourishiog condition, whee act there were but two, and that_the books and records were destroyed in Capt. Pease's office and others substituted. We 50 o object tor the fabrication of this false report, unless it was to mecount for paywents made to persons whe were uot engaged ia teaching. Capt. Morse, appointsd Provost Marsbal by Mr, Conway, made bls office a slave pes, arrestiog freedmen and selling them to planters at five dollars abead, and sbaring the proceeds with bis special policemes, who made the arrests.

The beadquartors of the Bureau are at Golveston. A fow agents are in most accessible and populous parts of the Stata, O the condition of affairs in the interior we were unable to obtain accursta intelligeace either from tho ageats of the Bureau or from ang other sources, Richmond and Houston we met several of the agents from several distriots. At Richmond Capt. Slosa the agent, is eagaged in planting with bis former clerk, Porter, and au ex-oficer of the Rebel army, Capt. Mito Capt. Sloan decied, nader oath, that Le was or ever bad Dbeen interested fn the plautation, but Major Pearwon, Commandast of the troops, asd Dr. Beard, Post- Surgeou, swors that Capt.

Hardaubrook, Agent at Peaumont, Jefferson Couaty, ated that the freedmen tere doing well, and tuat the sposiiion of the poople was vory fair, Most of the tieedmen were sugaged in herding stock, and are paid from $10t0 815 awonth in coin, He Lad receutly arrested Dr. Houstos, 8 citizan, on the report of a freedman, that the doo tor had said he did not regard his parols as bindtog, but fad ing it was impossibie to obtain evidence against his prisoser, be bad been oliged to release bim. We are satisfied that by was utterly incompeteat for Lis position. Tn the Breabam distriet, Capt. S. A. Craig stated tuat bis predecessor, Lisut. Argold, Twelfth 1llizois Cavalty, bad kept o re. cords, and had laft notbing fa the office bus a list of contracts and a fils of orders, and Le could give us uo information of hiy official mccounts. Burean agentsin Texas exercise judioia’ powers in both eivil and criminal cases, and in the discharge of these arbitrary and dangerous functions frequently ar. rest and imprisoa respectable citizeos cpon mers ramor, Capt. Stoan of Richmond, while at Galves- ton. out of his district, arrested a citizen and put him in prison on the pies that Le wanted him asa witoess in case, which ke only kaow from rumor would bo brought befors him. Ten of the 35 agents are citizsn planters. Onsof them, Col. McConnagles, agont ta Thoratoa County, was (oc- werly 8 Cologel inthe Rebel army, and was appoiated aa agent of the bureau by Gen. Gragory, then Assistant Comais, gioneer for the State, while still uopardoned. Whila we believe Gen.

Tu pursuing this iavestigation, which has now exteadad over four mouths, we have found extreme diffionlty Jo complying with thas portion of var isstructions whick requires us 4o re- port upon the operaiions of the Bureas and its mode of admin- istratign, The Burean has uo settled mode of admmafstration. jore is an entire absence of system or uziformity i its con. stitution. luoue State its otlicers exerciso julicial power; ta an adjoining State all cases are reforred to the civil anthor: ties; while ia a third State the Bureau officers coliect th cases and turn them over to tho military Provost Courts to poss of. Ta some Departments the oficars of the Bureau Lave attempted to reguiate the rate of wages. Oge frm o contract Letween employer and employed is preseribel ia one State, whils in snother a diferent form is adopted, In Louisiana the expenses of the freedmer's achools have heea wholly paid by the Goverament. Ia the other States the schools are selfsupporting. In some localitics the Burcau officers interfers arbitr between the plaafer and the freedmen, ta favor of the freedmen; fa other localitis the Bureau i3 used as @ meass of coerciog the freedmen i favor of the plauter, The expenditure of the Burean varice as much as its mode of administration. I one State the expecsss are over $300,000 a year; in amother State, with aa equal population, the expenses ar» uot mors than §50.000. Tn some States the expenses have bean me: by taxcs, levied and col- lected from tbe peopis; in other States the cost iseatirely borne by the Ugite! States Troasurs. We found it umpos: to iavestigats the acoonsts of the Bureau quartermasters, for the reason that when the fande were received from Texas, reats, finos, aud sale of abanioasd property, there were 5o weass of ascertaining the amoants except from the personal statement of the ofticers themselves, A quartermaster ia the armay drawiog his funde from the Government bas the amoant charged up to biw, aad s obliged to secount for it in his return; but the loosescss of the administration of the Quartermasters’ department of the Bureau, and the abeence of all check upon the officers, gi o security except the personal bonesty of tho mea themselves, We examined the acconuts of Brevet Brig.-Gen. Whittle- sey, Burean Quariermaster of the Departuent of Mississippl, who satisfiad us that be had bonestly administered the aftaire of his Department. and kad accounted for allof the money recoived by him; bt whether bis predecessor, who collacted a large amouut from taxes reuts and sales, pald over to Gen.

We do not make this statement to refiect upoa that officer, against whom there wore no charges, but to illus- trate the Jooseness of the system. The official report of Col.
