0429 [column 1, left to right] through which cities and counties were thrusting their poor and sick upon the charities of the Government I reported, on September 21, that nine hundred and seventy-nine (979) persons were subsisted by the Government within the State of Tennessee I have the honor to report that during the month, the entire number have been disposed of, and as of this date not one ration is issued by the Freedmen's Bureau in Tennessee. There were at the colored [[?]] at Camp Nelson, Kentucky, of the inconstant, one thousand and forty-five (1,045) women, and eleven hundred and thirty-two (1,132) children They can all be classed as dependents as there was nothing for them to do but eat, drink, and sleep The monthly reports of refugees and freedmen called for by Circular No. 10. It will not be possible for me to render in every particular therein required. At the date I entered u on the duty as Assistant Commissioner, every camp, colony, depot, hospital and farm in the district was in a very confused and unsatisfactory condition. District and post commandants and superintendents of freedmen were, without concert of action, issuing rations, giving attention to the sick, and transporting refugees and freedmen ad libitum. I gave my first and best attention to breaking up the camps, reducing the number of dependents and arresting the side of travel at the expense of the Government. There was not a freedman's farm in the district that was not an actual burden to the tax-payer or this country, when the value of subsistence and the cost of superintending was properly estimated. The Government has not been successful in farming, nor the majority of agents in charge of freedmen's farms in adding to their reputation as practical agriculturalists I have compiled the following statistics from the best data I have been able to procure and trust they will be satisfactory. The report covers a period of four months, to wit: June, July, August, and September. Within the limits of my district in the month preceding my arrival here, the Government issued rations to: Adults, white ---------------------------- 9,953 Children, white -------------------------- 7,957 Adults, colored -------------------------- 3,507 Children, colored ------------------------ 3,644 Total number of persons ------------------ 25,061 No. of rations issued in June ------------ 508,029 Cost of rations issued in June ----------- $97,912.75 I found the district with the foregoing number of dependents and at once set myself and subordinate vigorously at work to reduce the numbers, make the people self- supporting, and get local civil machinery at work in preparation for the care of local poor. It was not an easy task, I assure you. Mississippi Georgia, and Alabama, lying directly on the southern border of Tennessee, the freedmen by thousands from those States has, during the war, sought refuge in our lines. The white refugees, more dependent and less provident than the colored people, had in still large numbers quartered themselves upon the Government. Refugees and freedmen from eastern Arkansas had crowded Memphis; slaveholding Kentucky's colored population had swarmed southward into free Tennessee. The loyalty of East Tennessee had afforded shelter to the fugitives from Virginia and North Carolina. Seven surrounding States had most liberally contributed dependent-population to Tennessee. These contributions added to Tennessee our own, made up the large family here. which added to the number in camps in Kentucky and northern Alabama, constituted the numbers set forth in the foregoing figures. During the month of July rations were issued to- Adults, white ---------------------------- 5,721 Children, white -------------------------- 4,840 Adults, colored -------------------------- 2,603 Children, colored ------------------------ 3,280 Total number of persons ------------------ 16,444 Number of rations issued in July --------- 40,183 Cost of rations issued in July ----------- $65,610.34 Reduction from June as follows: Adults, white ---------------------------- 4,232 Children, white -------------------------- 3,117 Adults, colored -------------------------- 907 Children, colored ------------------------ 564 Total reduction in number of persons ----- 8,817 Reduction in number of rations ----------- 197,844 Reduction in the cost of rations --------- $32,282.41 During the month of August rations were is sued: Adults, white ---------------------------- 1,817 Children, white -------------------------- 1,960 Adults, colored -------------------------- 1,970 Children, colored ------------------------ 1,975 Total number of persons. ----------------- 7,142 Number of rations issued in August ------- 174,575 Cost of rations issued in August --------- $26,461.05 Reduction from July as follows: Adults, white ---------------------------- 3,904 Children, white -------------------------- 2,830 Adults, colored -------------------------- 733 Children, colored ------------------------ 1,365 Total reduction in number of person ------ 8,842 Total reduction in number of rations ----- 225,810 Total reduction in cost rations ---------- $39,166.29 During the month of September rations were issued to: Adults, colored -------------------------- 1,470 Children, colored ------------------------ 1,510 Total No. of persons --------------------- 2,980 No. of rations issued -------------------- 66,730 Cost of rations issued ------------------- $10,179.37 Reduction from August as follows: Adults, white ---------------------------- 1,817 Children, white -------------------------- 1,960 Adults, colored -------------------------- 400 Children, colored ------------------------ 610 Total reduction in No. of persons --------- 4787 Total reduction in No. rations ------------ 107,625 Total reduction in cost of rations -------- $16,284.68 There were 22,884 less persons subsisted in [column 2] been the means of doing great and lasting good in Tennessee. And under the wise and efficient superintendence of its agent General C. B. Fisk. It has effected reforms and established order and method where want and indolence reigned supreme among our black population. For these and many other wise regulations the people of the State owe him a debt of gratitude they can never cancel. And while I would say no more against the operation of this institution o far, yet it belongs to the military arm of the Government and is part of the machinery of war; its mandates are enforced by the bayonet, and its decrees are the dictates of one man. It may be wisely conducted, or it may be wielded by some petty tyrant from a distant State, who may use it for purposes of venality or vengeance. At the present time the negro is a competent witness before this tribunal against white or black, and every white man in the State is amenable before its bar. A negro may now bring an accusation against any man in the State and have him arrested by a guard, it may be of negro soldiers, and marched up to trial nd there he will be forced to admit the black man's testimony against him, and this to be heard and judged by one man, a stranger he may be from the State and with his prejudices all in favor of the negro and against the white man. Who but must feel that such an institution, under the best management, is liable to great abuse. This institution, as I understand, is but a temporary provision instituted to protect the negro in his natural just rights, and will be withdrawn whenever he is admitted to testify in the Courts of the State. It surely, Mr. Speaker is the true interest of the people of the State, both white and black that this bill should pass and become a law upon our statute books. But the important inquiry arises, are the people of the State prepared to receive it. Will the people lay down their old and long cherished prejudices and submit quietly and cordially to this bill, if the act should pass and become a law? I hope and trust they ma. But I have some apprehension that we are forestalling public opinion, and are about enacting a law, wise and just, and good in itself, but in advance of the times and in the face of deep and settled prejudices that should never be disregarded by the servants of the people. Mr. Speaker: I know the sentiments of my constituents, and am well assured that such a law would startle the whole community. The Union masses of East Tennessee, accepted abolition, not because they loved slavery less, but their country more. As to their love for the negro, I believe no portion of the State has such deep and settled prejudices against him as they have. And I for one am not ready to disregard those prejudices. It has been said on this floor that prejudices are salutary that they serve as "brakes" upon hast legislation. It is better, always better, to be content with what we know and understand than rush precipitately on new and untried measures that are of doubtful expediency. Therefore, for myself, I think it best to suspend action upon this important measure until the people have time to calmly and dispassionately weigh its consequences. The people will will always do right if they have time for reflection. And when they come to see this question as it really is-that it is simply a question involving a choice between submitting to the Freedom's Bureau, and having all the suits in which the negro is concerned adjudicated in that, or throw open the door for them to come into our Sate Courts. Let the people have time to see and understand this simple proposition and there is no danger but they will choose in favor of the latter, and will abide by and faithfully carry out this measure. But if you force them at once to adopt it, there is danger that heated and angry dissension may result, and designing demagogues may spur them on to violence and outrage. A few words more, personally, and I am done. I stand ipon this floor, not as most of the members that compose this assembly. I am the chosen representative from my district, alone. In the canvass that eventuated in my being selected to fill this honorable position, this question often came up for discussion, and with the light then pose it. That pledge must be redeemed, and shall be faithfully kept until I see unquestioned evidence from its requirements. Senators upon this floor may brand me with cowardice: this I disclaim, only so far as that I fear to violate my flighted faith to my people, and, of the two, I had rather be a coward than a false and dishonored traitor. THE TENNESSEE LEGISLATURE. SENATE. THURSDAY, Oct. 20, 1865-The Senate met at 10 A.M. Prayer by Rev. Mr. Gee. Mr. Frazier, of Wilson, presented a memorial from Duff Green in reference to Senate Bill No. 188, to incorporate the American Industrial Agency. Referred to Committee on Banks. Mr. Bowen offered a resolution that the Committee on Banks be, and they are hereby in-structed and directed to enquire, if any Bank in this State, which has been permitted to surrender its charter by an act of the Legislature, and exempted from taxation during the time allowed for its liquidation, upon the understanding that it would redeem its outstanding circulation, has circulation remains depreciated in the market, and if said circulation is not redeemed, to ascertain the course, and report the result of their investigations to the Senate. Adopted. House bill, No.50: In regard to the Recorder of Columbia giving him concurrent jurisdiction of Justice of the Peace, in all cases of violation of the criminal laws of the State, and all laws and ordinances of the Mayor and Aldermen, within the limits of the city. Passed on the third reading. Mr. Bosson offered Senate resolution: That the Committee on Finance and Ways and Means in-quire into a report on the policy of funding the principal and interest, now due on bonds and other securities issued by the State of Tennessee. Adopted. Messrs. Carrigan and Smith were granted a leave of absence for a few days. The Senate then adjourned to 10 o'clock on Mon-day morning. ____ House of Representatives The House was called to order at 10 o'clock. NEW BILLS By Mr. Steele from the Joint Committee on Relief: Prescribing the remedy for the collection of debts and the relief of the people. Passed, and three hundred copies ordered printed. By Mr. Gaut: To provide for the defense of suits against the Bank of Tennessee. Passed and referred to the Committee on Ways and Means. By the game: To amend the attachment laws of the State and for other purposes. Passed and referred by the Judiciary Committee. By Mr. Elliott: To amend section 2450 of the Code. Providing that women under certain circumstances should not be required to live two years in the State before applying for a writ of diverse. Referred to the Judiciary Committee. By Mr. Simmons: To amend an act increasing the compensation of Judges. This bill provides that Judges of the Supreme Court shall receive $4,000 per annum, and other Judges and Chancellors, except county judges and Judges of Special Courts, receive $3,000 per annum. Referred to the Finance Committee. By Mr. Richards: to incorporate the Memphis Water Company. Referred to the Committee on Corporations. By Mr. Brandon: To incorporate the North-western Mining and Petroleum Company. Referred to the Committee on Corporations. By Mr. Freeman: To restrict the navigation of [column 3] and the result of our reflection and investigation is that the fact alone of a party being in the service of the United States does not deprive him of the power to choose and acquire a domicile and citizenship in a State different from that in which he resided when he entered the service. So in the case before us, Mr. Cameron had the legal right or power, in our judgement, to acquire a citizenship in the State of Tennessee, and upon the agreed state of facts submitted to us, we think he did so. Now, having stated all these incontrovertible facts, what is the reason that this House will act [[?]]. Simply because I reflect the sentiment of my constituents, who do not believe that loyalty consists in inveterate hatred to the white people of this State. My people say that I are constitutionally eligible to a seat here. They voted intelligently for me and know all about my claims to citizenship. What right has the gentleman from Anderson and Campbell here? None. What right has the gentleman from Jackson with his double stars, here? None. The constitution is explicit on this point, that he has no right here. The gentlemen from Wilson is a minister of the Gospel. What right has he here? None. Why are not these men disturbed in their seats? Why was it that gentlemen here found out that I was constitutionally ineligible, and those I have named fully entitled to their seat? The gentlemen from Hardeman had no scruples to serve here with a star on his shoulders. Still, he objects to me taking my seat. The reason of the opposition to me is simply that, politically, I hold different views from the majority of this floor. After I am decapitated on a mere abstraction, who will represent the city of Memphis then? You wish to oust me for not doing what was a legal impossibility for me to do. Mr. Wines made a brief reply, and, pending, any further action, the House adjourned until to-morrow at 9 o'clock. ______________ To Whom it may Concern. I have noticed an advertisement in the different city papers. headed, "Second Annual Issue of the Nashville City Directory." This is done to mislead the business men of the city, and give the impression that the party had either bought out my interest in the Directory or to make them believe that I would not get out a Directory for 1866. They tried to get the use of my name for the Directory, but this I refused; neither would I agree to engage them on the Directory, which I propose getting up in the spring of 1866. This was done on account of their incapability of managing a work of the kind, as well as other business in which we were formerly connected; be-sides the party who is getting up the Directory is not a resident of Nashville, and therefore would not take the same interest in the matter as a citizen of the city would. I write this in justice to the public as well as to myself. Respectfully. R.H.
