1t is reported at this office that many persons
have been allowed to take the oath of allegiance by
Provost h:rshals belonging to the different Dvs-
ions and Bris tdcs of the 23d Army Corps who are
evidently actuatcd solely by desire to protect or
reclaim their property, or to escape the punishment
which their deeds have Justly merited. Many COM
plants are, consequently being made by Union
men of undue lenicncy to SecoSsonists and Seces-
sion Sympathizers in this respect In future it is
determined not to permit any person to take the
oath of allegiance who cannot furnish satisfactory
proof of his sincerity and good faith; and against
whom no crime is charged that would subject him
jures sustained by loyal men under the reign of the
so-callea Southern Confcdcracv against whom no
acts of harassng Union men c.n be proved.
The practice Of unfortunately arresting citizens
against whom no charge but that of Secession SYM
pathizcr exists should be discontinued 1t is not
the policy of the Government to disturb citizens
who are and have been quietly attending to their
business, simply for the opinions they may have
held.
When any specific crime is alleged against citi-
zen, charges should always be made i'll writing to-
gether with the names and residence Of the wit
ncsses by whom they be proved and these
charges should be handed over to the officer in
charge of the prisoners, at the time of the arrest,
or rs after as practicable, and forwarded with
the prisoners to this Office.
