{ Anagent of the fFreedmen's Bureau
writing to his superior officer says:
"The civil authorities in this locality
overlook offences committed against
the freedmen" A professor in a lead
ing institution of learning, writes:
"The Civil Courts will not punish even
cases of murder when committed by
whites on black persons They make
justice a farce, and do not receive, or if
received, juries do not weigh the evil
dence of blacks when given against
white men," An officer who made a
trip through Boone, Kenton, Critten-
den, and Campbell Counties writes a
letter in which he says: !" 1t is impos-
sible to conceive of the bitter spirit
that animates these people, and their
conditions truly benighted. Ignor-
ance and prejudice has complete sway
here, and the laws are openly violated,
both State and National. The Union
men advised me to keep very quiet, and
not let the fact be known that was a
Z Federal officer. They said if the PEG.
pie knew that / had any connection
i with the Freedmen's Bureau most
assuredly would be waylaid and shot.
