until the chaining of this surpliced choir was
c included. In consequence of this Dr. Swopes

Proclamation by the Governor.
Wuebkas, Notwithstanding the Executive Proclama
tion ol September 14th, 186S, many lawless acts have oc
curred in violation thereof, whereby the lives and pro
perty oi citizens have been destrojed, the right of free
speech impairtd, the performance of the duties of the
offices to which citizens have been elected denied, and
the lives of citizens so threatened as to cause them to
abaucon their homes and propert3';
And Whereas, “ The protection of persons and pro
perly is the paramount duty of government, aud shall be
impartial and complete;”
And Whereas, The Sheriff of each county is, by law,
charged with the preservation of life, property and peace
in each county;
Now, therefore, T, Rufus B. Bullock, Governor, and
Cominander-in-Chief ol the army and navy of the State
of Georgia, and of the militia thereof, do hereby issue
this, my proclamation, charging aud commanding the
said sheriffs, and each and every other civil officer in
every county in this Stare, to see to it that the lives and
property of all cirlzens, and the peace of the community,
are preserved, and th >t ah persons are protected in the
free exercise of their civil and political rights and privi
leges. And, further, to make known, that for failure in
the performance of duty, the Eaid Sheriffs aud other civil
officers will be held to a strict accountability, under the
law ; and to charge upon every person, resident in this
State, that they render prompt and willing obedience to
the said Sheriffs, and other civil officers, under all cir
cumstances whatsoever; and that they demand from said
officers protection when threatened or disturbed in their
person or property, or with denial ot political or civil
rights ; and that, failing to receive snch protection, they
report facts to this department.
The following exe.net from General Orders No. 27,
dated October 8,1868, from Headquarters Department of
the South, is published for the information of civil offi
cers aud the general public, by which it will be seen that
said civil officers wili, in the performrnee of their dnties,
be sustained by the military - power ot the Uuiied States.
Given unde.- my hand, and the Great Seal of the State,
at the Capitol, in the city of Atlanta, this 9th day
of October, in the year of onr Lord eighteen hun
dred and sixty-eight, and of the Independence oi
the United States the ninety-third.
Rufus B. Bullock, Governor.
By the Governor:
David G. Cottino, Secretary of State.
“ Headquarters, Department op the South, 1
“ Atlanta, Ga., October 8, 1868. j
“ General Orders. No. 27.
“Whefeas, By an act ot the Congress of the United
StateB, approved March 2d, 1665, it is made the duty of
the military authority to preserve the peace at the polls
at any election that may bo held in any of the States:
•‘And Whereas, This duty has become the more im- ^
perative lrom the existing political excitement in the
public mind, from the recent organization ot civil gov
ernment, and from the fact that Congress has by statute
prohibited the organization of military forces in the sev
eral States of this Department; it is, therefore,
“ Ordered, That the several District commanders will,
as soon as practicable, on the receipt of this order, dis
tribute the troops under their commands as follows:
* * * *
In the District of Georgia :
“One compauy 16th Infantry, to Albany.
“One company 16th Infantry, to Columbus.
“Oue company 16th Infantry, to Macon.
“One company 16th Infantry, to Augusta.
“One company 16th Infantry, to Washington, Wilkes
county.
“One company 16th Infantry, to Americns.
“One company 10th Infantry, to Thomasville.
“Oue company (C) 5th Cavalry, to Athens.
“The company at Savannah to be reinforced, should
occasion require, by such number of the men at Fort
Pulaski as can he spared from the post.
• * * *****
“Detachments, when necessary, may be made to points
in the vicinity of each post; but in no case, nor ou any
pretext whatever, will detachments be sent without a
commissioned officer, who will be fully instructed by his
post commander.
“The troops wi.l be considered as in the field, and sup
plied with the necessary camp eqnippage; the men to be
furnished with common tents if practicable, and if not
practicable, with shelter tents. Commanding officers
are permitted to hire quarters, temporarily, when it call
be done for reasonable rates; but this will not preclnde
the necessity of carrying tents, as the commands, in all
cases, must be in readiness to move at the shortest no
tice, with all supplies required for their efficiency.
“District commanders will instruct post commanders
in their duties, and the relative position of the civil and
military powers. They will impress on post command
ers that they are to act in aid aud co operation, and in
subordinai ion to the civil authorities; that they are to
exercise discretion aud judgment, unbiased by political
or other prejudices; that their object should be exe’u-
eive’y to preserve the peace and uphold law and order,
and they must be satisfied such is the object of the civil
officer calling on them for a>d; that they must in all
cases where time will permit, apply for instruction to
superior authority, but they must at ail hazards preserve
the peace, aud not be restrained by technical points
when, in their conscientious judgment under the rules
above set forth, it is their duty to act. Post command
ers, on being notified of the proposed holding of politi
cal meetings, may send an officer, and if necessary a de
tachment, to watch the proceedings and see that the
peace is preserved.
“To the people of the several State? composing the
De;>artineut. the Major i eneral Commanding appeals
that they will co operate with him and the civil authori
ties in sustaining law and order, ia p.-t serving the peace
and in avoiding those scenes of riot and bloodshed, and
the wanton destruc ion of property and life, which has
already, in some in unices, been enacted in the Depart
ment. He nrges abstinence from ail inflammatory and
incendiary appeals o the passions; ciscuuntenancing
the keeping open of liquor shops on days of political
meeting.-and of election; the abstaining from carrying
arms, ynd • sseaing the individual right of constructing
laws by force of arms. No just cause is ever advanced
by resort to violence. Let there be charity and forbear
ance among political opponents, whatever may be the
result; let each good citizen determine that ali who, un
der the law, have the right to the ballot shall exercise it
undisturbed. If there are disputed points of law, let
them be referred to the courts, arid let not mobs or po
litical clubs, or other ii responsible bodies, construe and
undertake to execute the law. This appeal is made in
the earnest hope that the Major General Commanding
c n rely on the good sense and correct judgment of the
mass of the people, and that Ue wili not be compelled to
resort to the exercise of the power with which he is in
trusted, aud ■ hich ne will most reluctaut.y employ. But
he thinks it hi? duty to make known, that so far as the
power under his command will admit, he will not per
mit the peace to be broken, and that he wili not be re
strained in the conscientious discharge of his duty by
technicalities of laws made when the present anomalous
condition oi affaire were neither anticipated or provided
tor.”
