Respectfully returned. Private Henry Young, 26" Inft., has been on duty in this Bureau for two years past; is a capable and efficient clerk. The Superintendent of Education reports his services necessary. I therefore respectfully recommend that he be detailed with orders to report to the Superintendent of Education for duty.

Additional endorsement on the letter of F. W. Chandler, dated Austin, Texas, January 22, 1869. C. 4. 1869. E.B. 320.
Which was endorsed by Lieut. L. V. Caziarc, A.A.A. General Fifth Military District. Jan. 25, 1869. as follows:

by General Orders, and whether any orders have since been issued for the transfer of such cases to the civil authorities, and whether or not the transfer referred to in preceding endorsement was so made, and for a copy of such orders if they have been issued."

Headquarters Bureau of R., F. & A.L.,
State of Texas.
Austin. Texas. January 30, 1869.

Respectfully returned. The within case was tried by Mr. Baker as Sub-Asst. Commissioner under the general authority conferred upon Bureau Officers by the Act of Congress as explained by General Orders. No. 4, Series of 1868, from these Headquarters. In all cases of this nature an appeal could be taken by either party to the Asst. Commissioner. There were no orders from these Headquarters directing the transfer of this case to the civil authorities. As Mr. Baker is Chief Justice of Caldwell County he probably considered it best for the interest of the plaintiff in the suit that the enforcement of his decision should be entrusted to the civil authorities which is unquestionably what is meant by the remark in his docket, "Turned over to the civil courts." The question of fact having been decided by a jury and no appeal having been taken, or exception made to the ruling of the Bureau Agent, the whole matter at issue seems to be the collection of this judgement, which, it is respectfully recommended, should be enforced subject to the statutory provisions of the laws of the State.

By order of Bvt. Maj. Gen. E. R. S. Canby.

And endorsed by Lieut. Louis V. Caziarc, A.D.C. & A.A.A. Gen.
