As these outrages were committed by bands of so-called "Regulators," who were disguised and had their faces blacked, the authorities could do nothing; the freedmen who were robbed, not being able to identify any one of the robbers. The freedmen who suffer from these outrages either guiltily submit or leave the neighborhood, as they have found from experience the utter uselessness of entering complaints; the military and bureau authorities having no fervor to act in the premises, and the civil authorities saying "that the proper warrants will be issued, if the freedmen will swear to the identity of any of the robbers." Many cases occur that for these reasons are not reported.
