' ' When wo reached Richmond, Virginia, I received a dispatch from the Secretary of War directing rtio to not rr arch with tho army overhnid,'but to conm us quickly ns possible -to ' Wn, hiiigttii. -1 did not ktiow'wliat bo wanted, but I went, a tri n orrivlng at Washington I sought Iumi ut, ai d aomeihing liko tho fidfowing conversation took pliico. Suid be, 'Uen. Howard, wo have been looking for soma time for a man to pi too at the head of thePtcodoini'a Huroau.' Mr. Lincoln had thought el you, but was unwilling to cull you f.otti the I fiolJ. Now that tho war is ended, will you not accept it?' . j . I felt that Providcnro had a .wotlt for mo to do In this department. ' Jlcst Jt-a, I had had an intimation of thU dutv bein assigned uie, whilo on ni,v rvuy to thol'iijitol, nod I had thought it over oincwlut. I told him I wouhl oecept. . Aa soon at pohsiblo I prepared a plan of organisation, and submitted it to tht Secretary, which he modified snmowhit. It consisted, aa you know, of a Commiw-ioncr in each State,1 with tub ConiminMonera in districts and oountios, according to population.' Most of these wero officers of the army, dctailod for tho purpose. It was impossible forme to know til eT them, but tho State Commissioners I did know. They wire t-hrUtian gcntletnao, aod bravo and t'uitlil'ul aohlicr. I may say hero that their action hua boon revervly critiuierd in tome iiiftatiees, and itixpcetois hare been sent to exuuiino into their wmk. JUpurt.i huvo been msdo through the publio pret-i c'eroutoiy to their character, but it f:ivcs me pleasure to say that in aliuont every instance tbeso reiiorla have either been totally ftUe, or hivo boon warred by somo ! pnrtihan or political prejudice. -1 deviro j pay these men thia compliment before ( this audience, in order to reassure nny of . -. i . . e i i .!.... . i you who may fwive had misgivings of their upriglitness. .

'When 1 surveyed tho field before nio, I saw (hut the labor syetem of tho South was almost totally broken up. In the path of our army tho negroes flocked olu-i us, and wo left dcaolatiou behind us. lu other places, tho system ' uf slave labor was gone, and nothing was left in its ttc;id.- I gave that question my attention. ; . The urtat crowd of refugees at Norfolk, Portress Monroe and other places, I tried .to' Uif hi u.to by, furiiichititf transportntion to os many as couli find homes. Thou .the. contract system was intro ducod at a safo-guard to tho colored uu n as well aa to their employers. Thero was a prersuro upon me Irom both Morthern and feoutbern men to put ia oporalion sotue. plan by which the black peoplo could I bo compelled to', work. It wus repeated , auaiu mid atraiu to ma that tbev would me not woik uulu5.-) compelled to do so, but 1 knew eutth a plan, would not bo to them a state of freedom and 1 resisted it. I kuew they meant to joioaUto a practical slavery. I di 1 averyibtnR in my power to cull out t)S) labor olUlie Cuuti try, and to havo n ... it employed, and ; I fed sale in saying that our elf rts bavu been sucu-onsful, iu u ureot ineaure.- This year wo can show a crop of. two millions live hundrod thousand bales of - cotton, ' besides a larger amount of provisions lhau bus been produced for many years. . Of tho department of i j ostice I have littlo to say. District Commanders have been placed in char-re .of that, but still they uselho officers tf tho : bureau. to a great extent. . .! It ib of tbo edneational work that I dosiro especially ta spcuk. Jivery thing, in my opu.ion, depends o i'r u the speedy sollleiueut of our diliicultieit is concerned, on the.edtication of the luas-es of fieed people ut tbo South. - An v 'm'uu who will go tlirutigli tne couilierni states tan see thoivital neceisity oTiuTiTiiig lustoad of diiuiniabing tho work of education among the freedmen. ' Oua reason why we have had comparatively lern trouble with our frecdmon than other countries bnvo, is that wo have followed -the army with tha eehool teachers. Indeed whon I took charge of tho Freedmen's Ruroaa I wut itlnmrd ovurwbflujod with letters from alt parts of tho rountry, osking toy help f ir uilkteut ussveiatmus and aol-iotics in tho work of education.
