respects, be beneficial t9 the freed

secure to them their political rights
1t Is very true that in many parts Of
the late slave States it is difficult for
a colored man to get justice in inferior
courts. In many counties OF all these
States his rights are neglected or pos
itlvely disregarded. Among q certain
class a prejudice, often amounting 10
hatred, exists, which only time can
eradicate. The conduct OF this class
may be restrained by the wholesome
enforcement of the laws. but cannot
be rectiied by the officers of this
Bureau. This has been clearly demon
strated In the States which have been
reconstructed. In the unreconstructed
States protection can be extended In q
more summary way by the military
Commander, through his officers un.
der the authority of the reconstruc-
ton act.

with all the means at his command,
portion of the appropriation therefor
remaining unexpended.
