Seely Supt. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Maj. Wiley Supt. of Central District reports that owing to the small number of officers, it is impossible to give that complete protection to freedmen that doubtless the administration contemplated in the institution of this Bureau If Asst. Supts. remain permanently at their Hd. Qrs. it is oppressive both to whites and blacks to travel fifty or sixty miles to have their differences adjusted, and many grevances will remain unredressed. If Asst. Supts. visit periodically the different Counties, each County remains practically two thirds of the time without an officer. Parties guilty of criminal offences have every opportunity to escape before any measures can be taken to secure their arrest. A citizen named Self is reported to have murdered a freedman in Caswell County during the last week in Jan. and made his escape. About the first of the present month in the County of Wayne an assault and highway robbery was committed upon two freedmen by some white men, one of whom is supposed to be a man named King, the others are unknown. None of the parties have been arrested. The gain at Goldsboro is not an increase of dependants in that Sub. Dist, but only shows the number who have received temporary shelter or support while passing through that place- | Feby. 28" | New Berne Sub Dist. | " [[ditto for Capt.]] J. A. Rosecrans Asst.
