Sins—In compliance with request in your
le tter of this date, now before me, I have
tho hónor to make the following statement
of my views of the intended policy of the
Government as to the matters alluded to in
, ,sal¿ letter:
1st. I would direct your attention to the
following General Order:
Head QrAUTKits DrsT. of Tbxah, {
" \ Galveston June 19,18C6. j
{ General Orders No. 3.
«* The people of Texas are informed that in
accordance with the proclamation from tho
, Executive of tho United States, " all slaves
, are free." This involves an absolute equality
of personal rights and rights of property
botween former masters and slaves, and the
connection heretofore existing between
íh^i becomes that between employer and
,t hired laborer. •.<' ,t ,.U i g
The Freedmen are advised to remain at
thotr present homes and work for wages.
They aro informed that they will uot be al-
lowed to collect at military posts, and that
they will not be supported in idleness either
there Or elsewhere. By order of
M.'.j-Gkn. Granger,
(Signed) F.W.EMERY,

, 2d. As a result of Said liberation, persons
formerly slaves are guaranteed the right to
. make contracts disposing of thoir services
to their former owners, or other parties, but
with the distinct understanding that they
are employees, and shall bo held responsi-
ble for the performance of their part of the
"itract to the same extent that the om-
lyer is bound to pay the consideration
■the labor performed.. f.nvi;', ,■:>* vsjii
8d; Unless other regnJatlonR are promnl
d by the "Frecdmen's Bureau," the
unt and kind of consideration for labor
shall be entirely a matter of qontraot bo-
twpon employer and employee. *fi.g 
i 4th. All colored persons are earnestly en-
joined to remain with their former masters
: until permanent arrangements can be made,
and thuB secure the crop of the present sea-,
and at the same time promote tho in-
of themselves, their employer and
«o ''8th: Persons" formerly slaves will not be
•!i* subsisted by the Government in idleness at
' -any military post—and all violations of
good order, or lawlessness, upon their part
will subject the offenders to prompt tod
speedy punishment. Sfcft
■uit, ,.6th. It certainly is a reasonable interpre
tation of the right of parties owning their
" t^n labor, to ray that they and the parties
thoy.ágree to labor for, may arrange as to
the kind of the consideration, whether it be
a'certain share of the crop, or money paid
w#% *ouM say, In conclusion, that it is well
"known that the Government desires to fur-
nish every facility to her oitiisens to resume
and continue their usual avocations, and that

The Tribune's Richmond correspondent
says military authorities under the command
of Halleck, Patrick arid Ord, in connection
with the rebel Mayor, liave Inaugurated a
system of oppression and outrage on the
colored people of Richmond.
A band of guerrillas have been lately col-
lected *in Patrick county, Virginia. Four

others have been sent to the penitentiary.
Under the present laws a stamp duty is
levied on all commercial and Official 'papers

fee is from one to ten dollars.
Postmaster-Goneral Dennison is doing ev-
