"Report the disposition and feeling of the white people towards the freed people, as expressed by words and actions."

Since the Presidential Election, the disposition and feeling of the white people towards the freed people, are some what improved, and there is much room for further improvement, the white people, many of them, are as much disposed to cheat the colored people out of their wages, as ever, and unless there is some way to compel them to pay, they will often go unpaid.

EDUCATION.

"Report the feeling upon the subject of Education; what steps have been taken to promote the same; what efforts the freed people are making in that direction, an in what manner they may be assisted, &c."

The freedpeople are making some effort to learn to read, but have not, so far, had any teachers, only so far as they are able to teach each other, and they have made some progress in that way . - they get little or no assistance from other sources.

The Roman Catholics, I am informed, are making arrangements to open a day school for the freed people. When they will commence, I am not informed.
