ruction Act, March 2, 1867; increase of educational work The year 1867 for the Freedmen's Bureau was an eventful one. The army appropriatiillson, after his faithful work, the middle of January of this year (1867) was replaced by Colonel C. C. Sibley of the regular army. Tillson a very promising view of the reaction during the year (from 1866 to 1867) in favor of the schools of his jurisdiction. The numbers, however,ur agents, and so were never properly recorded. Near the close of 1867 in Tennessee the status of schools was better than that of justice, unties, withdrew from them and began work at Hampton during the year 1867. A few words from his pen will show the fairness of his mind and the border States in its arrangement for free education. It had in 1867 an impartial system; it was careful to keep the colored and white chat least two thirds of the children of the freedmen would this year (1867) have been at school.

of General Whittlesey were so neat and clear that accounting officers highly complimented them. Whittlesey closed his able reports made near the end of the year 1867, in a condensed paragraph: The whole expense incurred in giving this relief has been $445,993.36, i. e., about $8 to each person for the period of four months, or the officers and agents of the Bureau, enough had been saved to the Government and to deserving claimants to justify all the expense involved. By the autumn of 1867 there was food generally throughout the South, and the district commanders, in connection with their military commands and the work of political reconstruction, we of rice, sugar, and tobacco for export, and two millions of bales of cotton each year, on which was paid into the United States Treasury during the years 1866 and 1867 a tax of more than forty millions of dollars ($40,000,000). It is not claimed that this result is wholly due to the care and oversight of this Bureau, but it is sa

were reported to my officers and were by them recorded with the different circumstances attending them, it is now clear that the main object from first to last was somehow to regain and maintain over the negro that ascendency which slavery gave, and which was being lost by emancipation, education, and suffrage. The opposition to negro education made itself felt everywhere in a combination not to allow the freedmen any room or building in which a school might be taught. In 1865, 1866, and 1867 mobs of the baser classes at intervals and in all parts of the South occasionally burned school buildings and churches used as schools, flogged teachers or drove them away, and in a number of instances murdered them. But the better portion of the communities had not been engaged in these acts, and there was no evidence that respectable Confederate soldiers were involved in these enterprises. Our work of establishing schools went steadily on. Early in 1868, however, was the first appearan

e of books as they could get. Negro pharmacists and other medical men were soon required, and contentions with white men in the courts demanded friendly advocates at law. Under the evident and growing necessity for higher education, in 1866 and 1867, a beginning was made. Various good schools of a collegiate grade were started in the South, and normal classes were about this time added, as at Hampton, Charleston, Atlanta, Macon, Savannah, Memphis, Louisville, Mobile, Talladega, Nashville, Ne, and elsewhere. In every way, as commissioner, I now encouraged the higher education, concerning which there was so much interest, endeavoring to adhere to my principle of Government aid in dealing with the benevolent associations. These, by 1867, had broken away from a common union, and were again pushing forward their denominational enterprises, but certainly, under the Bureau's supervision, nowhere did they hurtfully interfere with one another. Each denomination desired to have, here

Taking these schools alphabetically: 1. Atlanta University was chartered in 1867. It is governed by a corporate body formed for the Christian education of youth its sturdy and fearless recognition of the manhood of the negro. In 1866 and 1867 we called it Berea literary Institute. It was still elementary and then composenosyllables were in three months able to read fairly well. The latter part of 1867, four new buildings, principally by my aid, had been erected.

Augustine Normal and Collegiate Institute, located in Raleigh, N. C., began in 1867 and has continued its work thirty years under the auspices of the Episcopal Churn.

on I did raise a great deal of the church money, and in answer to letters of solicitation that I sent to churches far and near, I received many small sums of $5 and $10 each, all of which were paid into the church treasury. At the May meetings of 1867, held in Brooklyn, during one evening, at the church of Henry Ward Beecher, the Congregational Union, a church building society, had its anniversary. The house was filled with people, and Mr. Beecher presided. Our church had recently solicited on apology and reparation, which surely was never withheld. Yet the doctor's frame of mind was such that he would hinder the trustees in the midst of important constructions by withholding his approval. In church matters, during the summer of 1867, the First Congregational Society was holding all its sessions in Metzerott Hall, while our church edifice was in process of construction. The pastor was away on a short vacation. Seeing one Sunday that our Sunday school was very small, I addres
