han that of justice, there being an enrollment of 9,451 pupils. The greater part were carried on by the Northern societies, but the freedmen, out of their small possessions, had in one month contributed nearly $2,000. The Tennessee legislature had, in addition to white schools, provided for colored schools, putting one in any district or town where there were upward of 25 scholars, and also had established a permanent tax of 10 mills upon taxable property for school support. Just as soon in 1868 as this fund should become available, the State superintendent promised to cooperate with our Bureau officers and earnestly push the educational work. So there was hope ahead for Tennessee. General Sidney Burbank had relieved General Davis about the middle of February in Kentucky. This State was slow to modify objectionable laws in spite of the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Amendments of the United States Constitution and the clear-cut Civil-Rights-Law, which necessitated the eventual repea

district commanders, in connection with their military commands and the work of political reconstruction, were still acting for me as assistant commissioners. During this and the next year it was constantly asserted by opponents and by the press in some parts of the country that I was opposed to closing out the Bureau work. This statement was untrue. I did wish to close out all other parts as rapidly as possible and have the educational work continued as long as necessary. At the end of 1868 I wrote this to the Secretary of War: Many entreaties have come to me from Southern men, white and colored, and from several commissioners, to urge upon Congress the continuance of the operations of this Bureau beyond the time of its limit by law (January 1, 1869). But after having carefully considered the whole subject, I believe it is better not to do so. It was extremely difficult to induce the cities and counties to assume the charge of the indigent, and they would not do so while the

stile to Congress, which President Johnson had pursued, and early in 1868 began to show itself in the operations here and there of certain secises. Our work of establishing schools went steadily on. Early in 1868, however, was the first appearance in my Bureau school reports of anm if they should happen to be published, that in the early summer of 1868, the former irregular and local hostility to freedmen's schools had acks. The aspect of society in Arkansas in the summer and fall of 1868 presented similar combined secret planning and movement. Lawlessness in Tennessee alone exceeded 40,000. The latter part of the year 1868, before the election of General Grant for his first term, these murdssive wrath abated. From my point of observation, the two months of 1868 that followed the Presidential election and the first six in the nex The negroes, he said, never recovered from the election murders of 1868.

240 pupils enrolled. Many young men and young women were receiving special training for teachers. Before the close of 1868, the record calls the school by its charter name: Berea College. There were 156 students. My superintendent of education as we have seen, a subassistant in charge of fourteen counties of eastern Virginia, with his headquarters at Hampton. In 1868 he left the general work for the freedmen and took the presidency of the institute at Hampton, which, in fact, with the Amving school of the grammar grade in Atlanta, Ga., called the Storrs school. When I paid a visit to Atlanta in the fall of 1868 I visited that school. Sunday morning the Congregational Sunday School was well attended in the Storrs schoolhouse. Hereo these freedmen of owning a homestead was a great stimulus to exertion. Fortunately there was, during the ensuing year, 1868, much Government work of grading on Capitol Hill and in their neighborhood, so that they obtained steady employment and pa
