and the character of the lu ding ?ill oompire favoi
ably with thai of soy other establishment in the li.it? d
States. Tbe quantity of work executed during the
year ? nd-ng on the -Otfa of September, 11*65. exceeded
that of the precediriir year: but, owing to h ?mili de
ci? aso in the price of material-, its cost did not increase
in a corresponding ratio. Thus, while the advance in
the price of labor haa increased in exactly the sante
proportion as in the printing department las shown ou
page 6 of ilns report),' and the cost of materials in a
still greater proportion, the quantity of Bir.diug exe?
cuted within the lett year has coit much less than it
would have cost under the oontrt-t system of previous

Raleigh, B.C. Jan. IS. 1866. J
aVo/or-OrseralO. O. HOWABI?, Co?iffllllti_,?r;
i, : si ii ii. : I bare the honor to transmit herewith my
repi.rt of ibu tanoni operations of this Burean for the
quaitcr ending December H, 1MB The Inures and
facts speak so plainly for themselves that I need add
but very few remarks. Defoctive ns our orcanixati.in
is in some respects, affected by Its dependence upon and
suijection toother branches of the ?Var Department,
yet having got established, and its machinery put in
motion it is doing its woik wlthvl.or and success.
Many changes among my subordinate ullin r* have been
canted by the mu?ter-ont of the regiments, lut the
ioH.es sustained bave In*, ii partlullv compensated by de?
tail? from the Veteran Rc?erve Coipt. My effoiis lo
secure the services of cititeus ss sgeuts of the Bureau
bavo not met with snecetts.
Immediately ufter your visit here In October, I ad
ilres?ed s note to each member of the Constitutional
Cm vention, requesting him to give me the name of
some ?unable persons in his own countv, to be ap?
pointed to this office. Hut though so mtt.-iy promised to
vou their lienrty coo, er.itmn la organising this ageucy.
not one replied to my request I have, however, l>v
other menus found a few who were willing to accept
the position, and some of them have: done good service.
Others have proved unlit for the dutieg required, not
being able to comprehend that a negro can bo a fiee
man. or can have an) rl-rhls which a white man is
bound to re'pt 11. My exp?rience io far It againat the
appointment of any other than military officer?.
Even these, after being m.itered-oul*, are not sa effi?
cient as when in the military service. Tiny fail to
command respect. They do not icapiro the freedmen
with confidence.
As the vear has drawn to a close, all the officers ot
tbe Bureau have been bn?y settling un claims for lsbor
Baring the psstsessnn. The old story nas been repestetl
thousands of time?: Me definite bargain made?no
wages promised, bat " ?nats? said stay till the crop is
made, snd be would do ?bat was right." On that
point, "?lint i? right." Brisca the dispute. But when
the (i ut,-.-a can bo brought together, and all the l?c?a
heard, it is in mott cases easy to make s satisfactory
decision, (.'apt. Kvana repoitoi] thnt as many ?? 150
claims and difficulties of this kind were brought befoie
bim in Warren County al the cloie of the ?ear. So loi g
as these clems and questions of wage? were unsettled,
It wes natural that the freedmen should refuse to tnter
into any new controctafor another year. They wanted
a little experience to give them faith. And It gives me
great pleasure to state that in a large majority of case*
a talr s'-ttlei- ent bss been effected.
I bare put the question to officer? in all parts of the
State, "How Urge a proportion of the white people are
willing to tren the negroes with fairness I" The
su??cr is, 'From three-fourths to four-filths.'' The
other fourth or fifth wou'd oppress them and defraud
then!, if permitted i perhaps a larger propoition might
show a disposition to do this, wera it not for the
restraining pretence of a military force. One silting a
few (lain in one of our offices, and listening to com?
plaints from morning till night, might suppn.? that the
?hole laboring population waa unsettled: but ?neb is
not the case. The great mass bare made tb?ir bargains
for the coming year, and trains are seen moving from
the towns to the farming districts. Ho generally have
the freedmen ?ought employment, snd obtained it. that
tbo demands for laborers cannot be easily supplied. If
in some instanoes they leave their employer?, it is no
more then we should expect, and often it will not be
difficult to diie.over a good reason. By an arrangement
with L. P. Olds ?V Co., land agents, I bavs an intelli?
gence office in nearly evi ry county.
ile expectstion that lands would be grsnted by Gov?
ernment, a hope fint kindled by Rebel politicians in
their efforts ''to fire ths Southern heart," and afterward
increaard by the confiscation set. has now pasted sway.
All officers ot this Buresu disoonntenansed auch hopes
by public addresses and circulars widely leaner,-.! but
?o fixed had they become before the war close*!, tbat It
wa? not eaay to eradicate them. When, however.
Christmas setually passed, asd the year ended without
any gifts of the kind, it was admitted that we had told
ibem the truth, and that they had been deceived by the
tslk of their former roasters. So, also, on the other
hand, have the idle and cnnscience-Degotten fears of
insurrection passed away. The holidays have gone by,
and no outbreaks hare occurred. All admit that a more
quiet and orderly Christmas bas never been enjoyed In
this region, l.lie blttory of the world may be chal?
lenged for another instance of such good conduot In
similar circumstan oes as tbs fceedmen have thus far
maintained.
During the quarter 37 cases of violent assault upon
freedmen, or other criminal act?, bave been reported to
the military authoriUea for trial or such sctlon as might
be deemed proper. Of these 37 cases, the only oues
brought to trial, to far as this Bureau bas Information,
are those of " isaao and Wiley, freedmen of the town
of Saliabury, Rowan Countv." on the charge of "lar?
ceny," of which they were lound "not guilty," and di?
charged. Several oaiet reported daring the prevlout
quarter have been tried, aud amone them are:
1. Kmanucl Hatter (colored;, "sstault with intent to
commit rape," not gnllty.

10. Guion Earp (white), "maltreatment of freedmen

Some of ths eases reported during the last quarter s re
as follows:

PHILHARMONIC SOCIETY OF BBO?iKLY_.
The third concert of tho ninth MaM? of the
Brooklyn PtiUhai monia Society took place at the
Academy of Music on Saturday eveuing. The attend
atace was large and bullum, though not so numerous
ss we hsre seen on similar occisions on Inclement
nights. The programme wss ss follows: Mozart's
Third Symphony; Beethoven's Overture to E-imout;
Mendelssohn's music to Mid-Summer's Night Dream;
Mondrlssobn's Concerto, in O minor, snd Wallace'?
Fantasia on themes from Maritana, performed by Mr.
li.chart] Hoffman, and the Scent from Der Freyschuu
and another selection sang by Mi?s Mary Loui-e Segur.
The orcheitral performance wa?, throughout, admi?
rable, only a little less than perfect. It wss grind iii
Iti proportion?, sod under the clear, Intelligent snd
magnetlo lead of Mr. Carl Bergmann, it exhibited au
attention to detail, a delicacy, a preciaion and a refined
tono of coloring, which few orobtatri-t in tho world
co ild equal. Mo/art's third symphony, a work beauti?
ful ia ita proportions, strong in its tieatuent lull ol
i. ?? i.'-? of refined thought, now bold. ?iiictful or ten?
der, and always replet? with expreitiou, wa? superbly
p rform ,]; every man seemed lu.pired to do hu best
with tho part confided to him. The performanco
was to truly fine throughout that it would lie In?
vidious to single out any movement for special
t miment. It was read with such infinite Jadg.icut
and so congenial a feeling by Mr. Bergmann, that
tr.gr.? was little left to be desired. It was a perforo?
ance of which the artltta and the Brooklyn publie may
well be proud.
Beethoven's overture to Egmont met with equal Jus?
tice from the htn.s of both orchestra and conductor;
it? bold, broad measure? standing out in grand relief,
while tiie Midsummer's Nli?bt Dream jnuilo vu played
with exquisite delicacy, all ita fanciful and deiicioutly
dreamy imagiulngt being rendered with a poetical ten
dernei? rarely to be lound in the concerted efforts of
any body of musicians. It was truly a perfect luxury
to I,?ten to euch a composition, played lu a manner so
entirely beyond reproach. At the riak of being con
?idered hypercritical in onr estimate of excellence, we
feel constrained to single out for prune Mr. liergner's
'cello bits, and Mr. Riet.el's beautiful snd finished elo?
cution in the scherso. It ranks him smong ths best
or. litetr.l flutists.
The vooalltt of the evening was Miss Mary Louiso
Segur, ?hodsbiited on the occaiion. Soe Is quite a
novice, and is still studying her profession steadily and
earnestly. Her voice, which ia sot yet fully developed,
gives evidence of afine and available quality, but re?
quires equalizing snd strengthening lu the middle
register. Her style is good, she hs? s most prepossess?
ing appearance, end seems to take well with ber ti,ii
enc?. Her selection of songs was too ambitious for her
present powers; still ber efforts mot with the sympa.hy
of the majority of the audience, and the sp'riauss ?ras
very genersl and lavish. Miss Segur has excellent
nstural qualificstloos, snd nseds only patience snd in
telliseut study to schiers s good position.
We recognized with exceeding gratifiost'ou Mr
Richard Huffman's artistio perfection la the school of
piano-forte music be affects, while hs performed Men ?
delssobn's concerto Lu G minor, snd noted, with the
whole assembla ge, the sbsolute perfection which
marked that performance In erery movement. We
bave oPen had occaalon to speak in warm terms of Mr
Hoffman . execution of concertos with orchestral ac
eompaniments, snd thoss requiring not merely technl .*
es1 proficiency, but intelligence, taste and sentiment;
yet he has never quits equaled his triumph on that oc
ossion, for a flaw could not be detected In sny part of
the performance. The enthusiasm it crested, in which
ths musicians joined, wss quits unphilhsrmonio lu its
character. His second solo wss plsyed in the same
styls of quiet perfection, irreproscbahls technique, and
pars tests and sentiment, and won a tumultuous en?
core, ne wss ar-eompanlod beautifully by the orches?
tra. The piano used on the occaiion wss a Chioksr
Ing Grand.
By general cornent this concert vu pronounced tbe
most successful, lniU-tnsntBlly. that ths Philharmonic

to my knowledge; 1 thould not know her if I were to
tee her; I never had any personal relations with her; I
don't rcoolleot thst I ever knew of any such person
occupying one of tho houses ia Depau-row. Counsel
called witnesses attention to an article recently pub?
lished ia The ?V.-r-F-r* World, relating to the supposed
elopement of a Wall-st. bri ker with a French a-tr.ss,
sud asked witness if he ever saw thal article before.

" s loading representative of the plethotio wealth of
New York, is yet iu the full vigor of active busttess
life, ranking hardly second to any of our imperial pro?
prietors of fortune-, that his commercial relation? with
the principal business capitals of tue world are steadily
iuvoivmg importations on the most extensive scale;
that German industry, Brltiih skill and French taste
unite to pay trib?telo lils enterprise," which induces
you to believe Unit you are the person therein intended
to be reteired tot A. That is the principal atatemcut
which bring? the matter borne to me; al?o the allusion
to the ownership of the property in Depau-row ; I inter
that it was inteuded to reior to me Irom the general
tone and tenor of the urticle.
ii. Alter your attention was called to the article by

fendante to sustain tueir defense on the ground of Ju.it
in rill".i mav oover the widest grouud.
To this ilbor-l offer the counsel for the defenw re?
plied that, as the alleged libel.ms srticle contained no
reference to Mr. Stewsrt, eituer bv name or hy such
description as would be applicable aolely to him,'to the
excluii'in of auy other person, and that aa the ftlf?sd
ama allege t at the said srticle wss not Intended to
refer to the plaintiff, end us the plalutlff bud produced
no evidence to prove that the article in question was
intended to refer to him, that therefore, inthejudgment
of the counsel, suy further examination at this stage of
the proceedings w?s uiinect-sarr, and they thcreforo
declined to make any such examination.
The onus-' i .initiation thou continued.
Q. Have you not. since you lelt Dopau-row, rented all
the houses to vsnou? pers? ns! A. I have.
Q. Have you received the rents promptly! A. Gen?
era lv so.
Q. Havs you not heard since you removed from
