From the Richmond Tunes. Generals Steedman and Fullerton have proceed privileges of the civil courts, she is in the Union so far as concerns, the capacity of. being prosecu- ed to South Carolina for the purpose of mvesti- gating the condition of tbe Freedman's Bureau in wu bU" the Court for this or any other purpose. The Judiciary Committee of the House are now directing their attention to the grounds presented to them upon which the charge of treason, not of conspiracy and for assassination, is founded, and tlje Chief Justice may await their final report. The President will, no doubt, remove the chief obstacles which the Chief Justice indicated as preventing him from trying a criminal case in Virginia.

He must certainly withdraw martial law from the State before Justice Chase will consent to hold Court for Mr. Davis trial. This has not yet been done, but it is thought that it will be. "The law just passed to facilitate the irial at Richmond authorizes a special term to be held, as well as the regular terms in May and October. If the Chief Justice determines to hold the court and try Jefferson Davis for treason, it will not be so eafly as June, as some have supposed other engagements will prevent it.

The jurors cannot be taken from' West Virginia, as has been stated in some quarters. Of course not, as the district in which the alleged overt act was committed does not, and did not at the time of its alleged commitment, embrace West Virginia. The; accused will have the usual right of peremptory challenge as well as objecting for cause. No one believes that a jury is likely to be empanneled at Richmond that will agree. A disagreement, and possibly a new trial'' with like result, is all thatwill come of it.

Therefore the radicals are opposed to a trial that State. The further these commissioners get ana sentencea to pay vexatious sums oi mncj from Washington the more flagrant become the I neffroes bv extra constitutional courts.

In Virginia they found the Union as to all purposes which are of advantage the condition of the Bureau bad, although Colo to the government and to the negroes, and out of nel Brown is an honest gentleman in North Car it as to all that can benefit her own citizens. olina they found the Bureau a disgrace to the Government, and it is now asserted that in South Carolina and in other Southern States matters are And now, it is decreed, that she must remain out of the Union long enough to be disabled from the high constitutional privilege of participating in infinitely worse.

There was, it seems, one official in North Carolina who was doing bis duty, where the election of a Chief Magistrate of the Union. as it is confidently predicted that, like Diogenes, 1 It 1 1 I the commissioners will seek in vain lor a single I American self-government is not to De sen-govern-These precious guar- ment or jjer she is to be governed not by a man honest agent further South. erals Steedman and Fullerton, in which damning proofs were furnished of the corrupt and even diabolical manner in which the affairs of the Bureau are administered in two of the Southern States. j3Ut the. report of these officers is clear enough in all essential respects, and fully justifies all we have said in regard to the workings of the Bureau.

We find that in the States of Virginia and North Carolina the Bureau is managed by a cruel and unscrupulous class of persons. The horrors of the prison pen at Andersonville are overshadowed by some of the modes of torture instituted by these officers as a punishment for trivial offences. In one case there was a Wirz -of infamous memory, in the other there seems to be a Fitz emulous of a similar. detestable renown. This, it must be recollected, is the testimony of gentlemen who have served under General Howard, the Superintendent of the Freedmen's Bureau, and are not likely to speak from prejudice against him in regard to any matters in which he may be interested.

General Howard may make speeches till doomsday in favor of the Bureau, he may dash his remarks with humorous anecdotes in the negro dialect, he may employ all the cant of a Mawworm to wheedle his pro-aboliti6n auditors, black and white, but he can never overthrow the plain and indubitable facts in regard to this Freedmen's Bureau communicated in this report by responsible, intelligent and impartial agents of the government. From the New Tork Times (Republican.) Horrifying aa are some of the cases reported from this State where military officers, missionaries and teachers from New England, nearly all in the pay of the Government, are in partnership with planters in practically carrying on a slave system under new forms we are inclined to hope that they are exceptional cases. They demand, it is true, the most rigid scrutiny, and for the guilty no punishment can be too severe. But what we regard as even more calculated to awaken a painful interest in the relations of the freedmen to the Bureau, is the danger, so clearly pointed out in this report, of making permanent dependents of a very large class of the emancipated population. The peculations, and jobbings, and tyranny of a few unfaithful chaplains and military superintendents may be made up for in the penalties which, we presume, will follow the perpetrators.

But if dians of the freedmen are, it seems, very ravenous wolves sheep clothing, who are practicing in which she helped to elect, or even enjoyed the privilege of endeavoring to defeat; notfbythe elect of a majority of the suffrageans of the whole Union not by a man of the popular choice but North Carolina papers be requested to copy.

Van Eaton left home some time in April hvst, and went to South Carolina with a wagon and some mules for. sale. In the neighborhood of Winsborough ho sold his wagon and all his stock but one mule to a man. by the name of Thomas alias Hodges. Ho went with Thomas alias Hodges, some distance from the place, where the trade was made to re- ceive the money for thesame, leaving a boy who.

was with him to await his return. After some ime, Thomas alias Hodges, returned to the boy, ridirjg the mule which Van Eaton had decided to sell, and told the boy that Van Eaton had changed bis mind, sold him his remaining mule and pther rf fects, and had taken the cars or home.
