RIGHTS OF FREEDMEN. The following
Circular has been issued by Colonel Nelson
A. Miles, Asst Com'r. Bureau of Refugees,
Freedmen and Abandoned Lands:
''In view of the new relations now being
inaugurated for the development and eleva-
ton of the colored people, and the neces-
sity of good advice and aid which people
long accustomed to the advantages and pri-
vileges of free nation should extend to
those who are entering a new sphere of life,
it is considered the duty of those whose Off
cial positions bring them in contact with
this class to render assistance, in the work
now going on, and endeavor, by all posi-
bic means to encourage, counsel and help
in the preliminaries incident to the Cnfran-
of the colOred people.
The Officers and Agents of the Bureau,
in this State, are reminded that it is made
an important part of their work to inform
all freed people of their rights and priv
leges conferred upon them by the Govern
ment, prominent among which is their
right of suffrage.
1t is of great Importance that all should
be duly informed of this right, and the i'm
portance of its exercise. They should be
taught the necessity of prompt and
thorough registration, and be assured that
they will be protected and every facility
offered TO carry out the intention Of the
laws.
L o this end Officers and Agents will use
their best efforts to thwart designing per-
sons in any attempt to impede registration;
to prevent both intimidations or promises
in any and every guise. II is known that
threats of violence and gross mlsrepresen-
tations have been used i'll order to deceive
these people, and all such cases coming
under their notice as in any way tending
to interfere or impede the operations OF
the law will be at once reported to these
Head Quarters.
Officers and others charged with these
duties will exercise great caution in carry
ing out these instructions, taking care that
their advice be tempered with judgment
and impartiality. Every encouragement
will be given to foster industry, particu
Iarly at this season, when SO much depends
upon proper care of crops.
These directions, to those whose duty it
is to see that all rights guaranteed by the
are properly enforced, must
commend themselves to each and every
person interested in the general welfare and
progress of all classes, and it is hoped that
hey may meet with an approval which will
greatly facilitate the future welfare of the
citizens of the State.
