THURSDAY,.26, 1865
Our Agenti in New Orleans.
Messrs. Gardkeh * Co., New«paper Advertising
Agent«, No. S, Commercial Place, New Orleans,
are tne duly authorized Agents In that city for
the OateUe ami. t 'omet.
Ey*Mme. Marceline Hiriart,
aged 76 years, departed this life in
the parish of Iberville, on the 20th
instant.
§Mme. Hiriart was the respected
relict of Sebastian Hiriart , who
died many years since in West
Baton Bouge, after a long, useful
and honorable career. His son, Dr.
P. L. Hiriart , of Plaquemine, is
the only survivor of the family—one
of the sons, Edward , died from ex
posure while in the Confederate ser
vice in 1862—and another, Emile,
died in New Orleans on the 11th
instant.
Thus, one by one the links are
broken which bound together in af
fection's chain one of the oldest and
most highly esteemed of our Creole
families.
All Saints Day .—The Romao
Catholic portion of our residents, are
preparing to celebrate in due form All
»Saints Day, which comes on Wednes
day next, the 1st proximo—a day
dedicated by the churo^ to religious
solemnities and festivals in honor of
all the saints in the calendar. *
We may expect to witness as usual,
an occasion marked by numerous in
teresting ceremonials, commemorative
of the day and object.
ry The chief sensation here of
late has been the Circus. "Circus
on the brain" is never at fault in de
veloping itself whenever and wbere
ever an opportunity offers. It is as
tonishing to see what multitudes al
ways flock to witness the equestrian,
acrobatic and harlequin sports of the
ring, and to mingle in the amphi
theatre where "people most do con
gregate."
A pretty correct idea of the num
bers constituting the population of
our towns and rural districts may be
obtained by visiting a Circus.
EF*John W. Overall , Esq.,
editor of that excellent literary pa
per at New Orleans, " The South"—
is announced in the True Delta as
an independent candidate for Con
gress from the Second Congressional
District.
Mississippi Senators .—The Leg
islature of Mississippi have elected
Hou. W. L. Sharkey and Gen.
James L. "Alcorn , United States
Senators from that State.
iyMr. R ozieb having declined
to run for Congress in the Second
District, that "old man financial,"
Jacob Barker , has been nominated
in his stead.
A Steamer Burned .—The steamer
Majestic, from Shreveport, was burn
ed at Point Coupee Post OfBce, last
Sunday morning at 9 o'clock. The
fire originated in the hold. No lives
were lost, but the boat and her cargo
of 660 bales of cotton and sundry
merchandize were totally destroyed.
A uumber of the passengers were
taken on board the General Quitman
to New Orleans, and received at the
hands of Capt. Cannon and his offi.
cers the kindest treatment, which they
acknowledge in a card which we find
in the Times of Tuesday morning,
furnished us by Messrs. Archer &
H enderson of our city.
fy Mr. A. Deslonde , an ancient
Creole gentleman, of distinguished
worth of character, died last Thürs
day afternoon in New Orleans- He
was 82 years of age. Among his
sons-in-law are Gen. Beauregard,
John Slidell , II. W, Adams , Mr.
GuYOL and Mr. Seixas , all men of
mark in their respective spheres.
IMPOBTANT DOCUMENT.
We make room below for the Ad
dress of General Fullerton , the
newly appointed Chief of the Freed
men's Bureau for Louisiana. The
highly important character of the
Address—the most sensible and
practical that has ever emanated
from the Buieau in this State—
prompts us to insert it in full to the
exclusion of other matter of a mis
cellaneous nature which we had in
tended for our present issue.
The address deserves to be read
attentively by all :
OFFICIAL..
Heidqcakteks Bosias or Rwuotis,
rimumix and Ab ASUOKSD L a SDS ,
New Orleans, Oct. 20th, 1885.
To the Freedmen of Louisiana.
A change has been made in the Office of
tbe Assistant Commissioner of the Bureau
of Refugees, Freedraon and Abandoned
Lands tor the State of Louisiana. Mr.
Conway has been rolieved, and I have
temporarily assumed the duties of said
oftico. Before progressing further in my
work, I wish to address to you the follow
ing plain words. The remarks will, per
hups, properly apply to but few, for I be
lieve that nearly all of you understand the
rolation in which you stand toward tho
Government and the white people; that
you endeavor to observe that rolation, and
that you are in the main industrious, hon
est and frugal.
Tho Government has made you free.
You can now work for such employer» a»
you may desiro. You can control and use
your own wages, and you can sue and ob
tain justice in the State court» a» other
freemen did when you wore in a ntale of
slavery. For what more can you ask ?
Slavery has paBsed away, and you nre now
placed on trial. It i» for you to prove
that you aro able to take care of yourselves,
and that you deserved to bo made free. In
the abrupt change brought about by the
sudden passing away of slavery, you re
quired some assistance—some power that
would take care of you for the time, and
that would properly direct you in a new
path in life. Therefore the Bureau of
Refugees,Freedmen and Abandoned Lands
was established. But you must not mis
take the objuot of this Department. It is
not tho intention of this Bureau to nurse
and pamper you, to feed and clothe you, or
to give you any privileges that other per
sons do not enjoy. Neither will you be
shielded or protected when you do wrung,
but you will be placed lu tbe hands of the
military authority or in the civil courts
for trial. The object of ths Bureau was
merely to protect you when you were de
barred from the benefits of the law. and to
teach you how to live and lab«r as free
men. You cannot always have this help,
which a generous Government has offered
you. Soon it will be witn lrawri, and if
you cannot then live without it you do
not deserve to be free.
You are now working for yourselves and
you have every inducement to be industri
ous and tru^al; faithful to your employers
and honest. By so doing you will soon
uaiu the confidence of the community, aud
all men will respect you and treat, you
I a i r I y and kindly. You must now try and
lay by as much of your wages as possible,
and thus you will soon become able to buy
land and establish yourself in business;
and then, when old age comes, you will
have the means to live in peace and com
fort. You must remember that you have
no master now to take oare of you in sick
ness and in old age. Some of you have
the mistaken notion that freedom means
liberty to be idle. This is a great mis
take. There is work lor every person in
the country, and Idlers and vagrants will
not be tolerated. Those of you who have
5one to the cities and cannot get work to
o, must leave them and go back to the
plantations, where all men can be em
ployed. Do not fear that yon will not be
paid for your labor, for the law will pro
tect you. The planter» will give you good
wages, and your work will be of benefit
both to them and yourselves. There is no
way for you to live but by hard work. I
believe now that you are free you will
work better than ever; but if you do not
work of your own accord, or if the law
cannot compel you to work, then you
must leave the country, and the good op
portunities that you now have of gaining
a living and making yourselves indepen
dent will be given to more deserving per
son». I advise you all to return to your
old plantations, where yon have been
kindly treated, and there you are known
and there you can gat better wages. Yon
must not suppose that your former masters
have become your enemies because you are
free. All good men among them will
properly recognize your relations towards
them as free laboiers, and you can gain
the confidence and good will of all others
by being industrious and faithful, and by
living up to your contracta.
Neither fear that you will lose ymir
freedom, for your former masters acknowl
edge it, and it will bo defended by the
Government.
This thing you most learn above all
others : a contract must bo sacredly ob
served. If you engage to work, and then,
through no fault on the part of your em
ployer, you do not do so, or cease to work
after having commenced, or do not work
well,your employers will lose all confi
dence in you, they will notthen be obliged
to pay you yonr wages, and you will not
again be hired. In the absence ot civil
law, regarding agreements between the
whiten and yourselves, contracts for hire
have been made for you by the agents of
thi» Bureau and by military officers. For
the present your wages are secured by a
lieu on the crops which you aro producing,
but as the civil law cannot afford relief to
the planters, tbey have no way to make
you perforin your part of the contract.
Instructions will therefore be given to all
officers and agents of this Bureau, to com
pel those of you who do not do so, to work
and fulfill yonr obligations, unless you
have been unfairly dealt with by your em
ployers. As soon as these coo tracts ex pi re
you must make new ones similar to them
for the coming year, for yon mutt remem
ber that you are now working for your
selves, and if you do not renew your con
tracts and live up to them, you will have
no means of liviug; for in that case you
will be able to gel assistance from no
person.
You must not beKeve tbe idle and mali
cious stories that have been told you by
bad men as to whut the government in
tends to do for you. Ail has been dona
for you that yoft con expect. Neither
rations, nor clothing, nor mule», nor work
ing implements will be given to you here
after. The most that will be dons by the
Government will be to furnish assistance
to the aged and infirm—those who cannot
work ; and this assistance will not be fur
oiahed when the State can take care of such
person*. No land will be given to yon
Alreadv a large quantity of the land that
was held by the Bureau has been returned
to the owners, and even had it not been
returned it would not have beer, given
you or divided amongst yoa. Theie is no
possiblo way by which yon can procure
nouses or land for yourselves, but bv work
ing land and saving your wages, then yon
will have the means to purchase such as
other persons have done. The Govern
ment will not do more for you than for
the white laborers who are your neighbors,
and it is not proposed to divide up the
lands in the South for them, nor do they
expect or demand such action.
The Government has made you free, and
it will protect yon in your freedom. It
will do nothing more. Tho only change
that you must expest next Christmas and
New Yeur'a, is that you must then make
now contracts to work and for hire for the
coming year.
I have addressed yon thus plainly in
ordor that you may all understand what
I say.
Now let me repeat, that you need hove
no foar of being again reduced to slavery.
The Government will protect you in your
freedom for all time to com3, and in re
turn for this groat boon do not disappoint
those who expect to find you industrious,
enterprising and honest.

HENRY W. ALLEN.
This estimable gentleman, now in
Mexico, who was successively Colo
uel, Brigadier General and Governor
of this State in Confederate times,
has been put forward in New Orleans
aud the Bed River parishes as a
candidate for the office of Governor
at the approaching election. We
have not heard that his wishes have
been consulted in this matter, but do
not think they have ; and until this
is the case, the act placing him be
fore the people as a candidate looks
premature, to say the least of it,
Nevertheless, the movement is per
sisted in by numerous friends of ex
Gov. Allen who are anticipating
his return home, and who seem to
think he will accept the office
elected to fill it.
Could it be positively ascertained
l hat the nomination would be accep
table to him, he would make a very
strong run, notwithstanding the or
ganized support pledged to Gov.
Wells by the National Democratic
ane Conservative Union parties of
the State ; and there would be
probability of his election, so securely
are his name and fame anchored in
the hearts of his people. Two such
popular candidates as Wells and
Allen are seldom seen running for
the same office

Public Meeting.
The most important public meeting that
lias taken place here lor several months
was held yesterday, on the subject of the
President's restoration policy, which was
fully endorsed.
Beecher o» Reconstruction.
Henry Ward Beecher, in a sermon yes
terday, made an unqualified endorsement
of President Johnson's reconstruction pol
icy. He urged forbearance to the South,
insisting that thoy must regulate negro
suffrage for themselves.
He discountenanced military interfer
ence, and said we must have confidence in
the loyal professions of the South, and
that their self-respect must not be offen
ded.

Gen. Grant recommsnds ths mustering
ont of all Major Generals and Brigadier
Generals in tie volunteer service, except
those disabled in the service.
Leading Generals, including Gen. Grant,

N ew P ress in L afourche .—The Thibo
deaux Sentinel of the 14th says:
We have been shown by its energetio
and inventive engineer, M. L. Boudreaux,
the cotton press of his invention, built on
the plan of tbe printing press, on the
knee joint lever principle. This press is
attached to the cotton gin recently estab
lished by our feilow townsman, the enter
prising Mr. F. Riviere. The mill works
finely and is kept incessantly working,
which goes to prove, that in spite of tbe
adverse elements, cotton is not a failure
here. We compliment Mr. R on the suc
cess of his enterprise, and oar community
ou the addition to iti means for prosperity.
TRIBUTE OF REoPECT.
Whkebab , It has pleased Almighty God
in His Allwise Providence, to oall from
our midst onr worthy and highly ssteemed
Brother, Hibax R. Moktsith —therefore
be it
Rfolvtd, That we, the nndersigned
Committee, on behalf of the Brethren of
St. James' Lodge, No. 47, A. F . and A.M.,
do hereby tender to the widow and family
of our deceased Brother, our sincere con
dolence and heartfelt sympathy in ths
irreparablo loss tbey have sustained in the
demise of one who was apparently so de
voted to bis family and so much admired
and esteemed bv all who knew him, for
his moral excellence and the noble traits
ot character which he possessed.
Jteiolved, That in the death of Brother
Monteith , our Lodge has lost one of its
most zealous and faithful members. In
the daily transactions of life he was al
ways just, upright and honorable toward
his fellow-men, and aa a Mason, he was
ever ready and willing to discharge the
duties that devolved upon him. May his
praiseworthy example of morality, honesty
and charity be followed by all those who
knew bim, and may his noble spirit have
sscended to Heaveu, there to nuite in the
everlasting praises of the Omnipotent and
Omniscient God.
Jiesolved, That in token of our love and
esteem for the memory of our departed
Brothor, that St. James' Lodge, No. 47, A.
F- and A. M., be draped in mourning and
that the Brethren wear the usual badge
for the term of tbirtv days.
Iteeolved, further, That these resolutions
be spread upon tbe minutes of our Lodge,
aud that a copy of the same be transmit
ted to the widow of our deceased Brother,
and that tbey be published in tbe Baton
Rouge papers.
