Grinnell was a strong supporter of the bill, while Mr. Rousseau opposed it with equal vigor. The bill was being debated in the House on February 3, 1866, and in the course of the debate Eousseau related a certain incident that occurred in Kentucky under the existing Freedmen's Bureau laws. The incident in the words of Eousseau is as follows : A man by the name of Blevins in my town came home one evening and found his wife engaged in some controversy and collision with a negro woman who had been... her servant — not one who had be- longed to her as a slave. He took part with his wife. . . . The negro woman complained to this agent of the bureau, and a couple of negro soldiers were sent there to arrest him and his wife. And because one of his little girls had said something in the matter an order was also sent for her arrest. The man came to me, supposing that I might be able to assist him. . . . Early the next morning I went to the commandant's headquarters, and there I found Mr. Blevins and his wife and children seeking protection against the Freedman's Bureau, acting on the complaint of the negro woman.
