Whereas, by the Proclamation of An drew Johnson, President of the United States, dated 17th of June A. D. 1865, I have been appointed Provisional Governor of the State of Georgia, with instructions to provide, at the earliest practicable peri od, such rules and regulations as may be necessary and proper for convening a Con vention of the people, composed of Aiele gates to be chosen by that portion of the people who arc loyal to the United States and no others ; and also with all the pow ers necessary and proper to enable such loyal people of said State to restore it to its const stitutional relatiors to the Federal Government, and to present such a form of State Government as will entitle the State to the guarantee of the United States therefor, and its peoplo to the protection of the United States against invasion, in surrection and domestic violence:. Now, therefore I, James Johnson, Pro visional Governor of the State of Georgia, as aforesaid, do by virtue of the power in me vested as aforesaid proclaim and declare— -Ist. That an election for delegates to a Convention will be held on the first Wed nesday in October A. 1), 1865, at the dif ferent precincts at which elections are di rected and authorized by taw-to be held for members of the Legislature. 2d. That the thirty-seven counties in the State, which, by law iu force prior to the first of January, 18Gi, were Entitled to two members of the of llepresenta-* tires, shall be authorized and entitled’ to elect each three delegates, and that the remaining counties shall each bo author*’ zed and entitled to elect two delegates to said Convention. 8 cl, That no person at su-eh election shall be qualified as an elector, or shall be elgi ble as a member of such Convention, unless lie shall have previously thereto, taken and subscribed the oath of Amnesty, as set, forth in the President’s Proclamation of May 29th A. X>, 1865, and is a voter quali fied as prescribed by the Constitution and laws of the State of Georgia, in force im mediately before the 19th of January, A. D. 1861, the date of the so called Ordi° nance of Secession. 4th. That any two Freeholders qualified -to vote at such election as aforesaid, may ’ act as managers of the election at each of the precincts as aforesaid ’ and that in managing and superintending such decs lion, they shall be governed by and pro ceed under the laws of the State regula ting and prescribing the election of mem bers of the Legislature, prior to the first of January, 1861 ; Provided, that eaeh of said managers, before entering on the dus ties, prescribed,.shall swear the other tru ly and faithfully to superintend and make return of said election- according to law as aforesaid and the requirements of this Proclamation. • • . sth. That the delegates who shall be elected as aforesaid, shall assemble in Con-* vention at the city of Milledgeville, at 12 o’clock, meridian, on the fourth. Wednes day of October, A. D. 1865 j And whereas, The rebellion which lias been waged by a portion of the people against the government of the United States has, in its revolutionary progress; deprived the people of the State of all civil government ; and whereas, they must re main without divil officers and the admin istration of civil law until a State Govern ment shall have been organized by the Convention called as aforesaid ; and where as, it is necessary in the meantime that, domestic tranquility be ensured, and that the loyal peqplc be proctected in all their rights of person and property, Ido further proclaim and declare : Ist. That no individual by vtrtue of his own authority, shall inflict eoporeal pun ishment on any person for any real or sups posed injury, whether such injury relate to persons or prope ty ; and that in all such cases, redress must be sought from and given by such military authority, as ma} r be invosted with jurisdiction over the eases. 2d. That slavery is extinct, and invol untary servitude no longer exists. Hence no person shall have contvol of the labor of another, other than such control ns may lawfully result from indenture, the relation of parent, and child, guardian and ward and the contract of hiring, freely and fair ly made ; and that for a breach of duty, on the part of any one standing in these relations, the military authority will ad minister in a summary manner, adequate and proper relief under the laws of the land. ‘ Bd. That all riotous or tumultuous ass semblages of the people, and also all as* semblages for unlawful purposes and un lawiYl objects, will be dispersed ; and to this end, if necessary, the military power of the United States will be invoked. 4th. That the idea, if any such is enter* tained, that private property will be dis tributed or parceled out is not only delu sive but dangerous and mischievous ; and if any attempt should be made by any person or persons to effect such an object by violence or unlawful means* it will only secuye to him or them speedy and merited punishment, 5. To the end that the people may qual ify themselves as voters, it will doubtless be the pleasure of the commissioned offi- I cers in the service of the United States, to have the oath of amnesty administered j under the rules and regulations prescribed by the Secretary of State of the United States ; and in this work, most earnestly desire and solicit the cheerful co-operation | of the people, so that Georgia may speed ily be delivered of military rule ; that she may once again regulate her own domestic affairs, and again enjoy the blessings of civil government, and be heard ami telt by her Senators and Representatives in the councils of the nation. Done at Milledgeville, the Capitol of the State, on this, the 13th day of July, in the year of our Lord eighteen hundred and sixty five, and eighty ninth year of American fnpcpendence. .
