Removal of Freedmen.

This subject is one which has been a source of great trouble to this office, as frequently reported. Large numbers of "Freedmen", are ordered to remove from the various farms in York Co. who are entirely indisposed to conform to the wishes of the owners. This matter has been frequently represented, and at present it is in a very unsatisfactory state.
