Capt. James, A. Q. NJ, a man who has ever

these gentlemen owning plantations, do
not doubt it, There is no speculation in the
matter 1t is true that many officers, all
through the South, and not confined to the
Freedmen's Bureau, have invested what little
money they could in this way. never have
found any cases of the prostitution of official
position for private gain. Our volunteer of
ficers are soon to leave the service, and, like
provident men generally, they seek to secure
some livelihood General Whittlcsey has
worked hard in his official capacity. and I
believe he has never been charged with using
his time other than for the government. 1

LETTER FROM ASSISTANT COMMISSIONER
wnITTLEsEY CURIOUS EXPLANATION OF
THE SHOOTING OF A FREEDMAN.
BUREAU OF REFUGEES,
FREEDMEN AND ABANDONED LANDS,
RALEIGH, n. c., May II, 1866. )
MEssRs. EDITORS: 1 have no time to an
swer the newspaper attacks upon the Freed
nor do suppose any gentleman would think
of attempting to exoneratc himself from
charges preferred in the New York Herald.
There is, however. one painful occurrence
mentioned in the article quoted in your pa
per of this mornings date of which, for the
sake of truth and justice, wish to give
correct version.
1t is true that a colored man was convicted
by Captain II. James of burglary, and SEN
fenced to hard labor at ditching. The man
escaped from the guard, and in attempting
to arrest him white man employed by Capt.
James fired upon him rs he was swimming
the river, having first ordered him to return
to shore and surrender. The whole transac-
ton was reported to me, and /, hoping that
the shot had not taken effect, returned the
papers to await further evidence. Such evil
dence was afterwards obtained, and just at
the time when these Herald correspondents
were in North Carolina, l received inforlna-
ton that the negro man was actually killed,
and an officer was ordered at once to investi-
gate the whole matter and report upon it for
further action. Such is the situation of the
case Proper steps have been taken to Sc
cure justice to all parties
AS to the other false charges contained in
the article above alluded to, will only say
that no officer has, to my knowledge, neglec-
ted his duties to engage in any private bust
ness; and if some have invested their money
to assist those who arc trying to revive the
industrial interests of the State. probably
the land owners, who profit mos: by such use
of capital, will not be very eager to condemn
them. Very respectfully,
E. WHITTLESEY, Asst. Com'r.
