with the view Of securing TO our citizens

ence on part of the military authorities
will be permitted, Several instances
have recently been reported in which
military officers claiming TO act under the
authority of the order above mentioned,
have taken from the custody of the civil
authorities negroes arrested for theft and
other misdemeanors, even in cases where
the courts were willing to concede them
the same privileges as are granted to white
persons. These officers have not been
governed by the spirit of the order. The
object of the government is lot TO screen
this class from ust punishment not to
encourage in them the idea that they can
be guilty Of crime and escape its penalties,
but simply to secure to them rights of
freedmen, holding them at the same time
subject TO the same laws by which other
classes are governed.
By order of Maj. Gen.

In accordance with this order, where
the Judicial officers and Magistrates of

with such tribunals, but give them every
assistance possible in the discharge of
their duties.
