10 enter into labor contracts for wages or n
share OF the crop and OF them prefer to remain IN
their native State to emigrating elsewhere On the
part Of large majority Of the whites. he believes that
there is an honest desire 10 adjust on fair basis

lar institution among them. They regard Its

officials ss usurpers and despots. and camor for It's

rendered II difficult 10 conduct the Bureau
affairs in the State with that harmony aud
efficiency which nave elsewhere produced

the 1000 colored msn who have served in The
army in many instances scourged beaten. shot ut
and driven from their homes families and like
