Some of the officers ap-pointed, both civilian and soldier, displayed unusual tact anddecision, while others were both obstinate and arbitrary. Per-haps it was too much to expect that all of the hundreds of dep-uties appointed should be men able to impress their personalityand enforce the laws without friction.

Later, the supervision of the draft wasplaced in charge of the provost-marshal-general at Washing-ton, who had no other duties, and the incidents and events [190].
