The Convention has been in session

discharged, it may be expected that Sc
rious work, prepared by the working men
in COMMITTEES, will engross the time and
thoughts of the thoughtful and wise men
of the Convention, who compose large
proportion Of that most respectable as.

thrust into some great corner. The Con-

GENERAL ORDERS-1'O. 80
HDoHs. DEPT. South CARoLINA.
IILToN HEAD, S. c., Sept. s, 1865.
In order to remove all seeming conflict
of jurisdiction between the civil and mil
itary authorities throughout the State Of
South Carolina, promote the preservation
Of quiet and good order; relieve the peo-
pie as much as possible from all unneces-
sary restraints oflnartial law, and reduce
the expense ofthc military establishment
it is hereby ordered:
First-That the Superior and Circuit
Provost Courts will continue in operation
as heretofore, and shall have, as against
any and all civil courts, exclusive cogni-
zance to try and adjucate ip all cases
where freedmen and other persons Of COL
or are directly or Indirectly concerned.
Tl!is will not be so interpreted as to re-
strict the authority ofthe agents Of the
Bureau Of Refugees, Freedmen and Aban-
doued Lands.
SecondIThe cSil courts may be open
ed, and all civil and municipal officers
who shall have taken the amnesty oath
last prescribed, and who if they belong
to either of the classes excepted from am.
ncsty, shall have received executive par
don, will DO allowed to resume the exer-
else oftheir official duties, under such of
the laws of South Carolina, in force i'm
meliatcly before the 18th day OF Novcm>
ber 1860, as are, not inconsistent with
the laws af Congress and the procama-
tionsssof the President, which laws and
proclamations arc in ali cases to be res
pectcd.
Third-It being impractablc to estab-
lish and preserve military posts in sufi-
GENTLY close proximity to maintain per-
feet military police in every portion Of
the State, tic civil magistrates will be al
lowed to make arrests iu all cases Of
breach of the public peace; but the arrests
of freedmen and other persons of color,
when rendered necessary by the absence
of the military, will in all cases be imme-
diately reported; and the custody Of the
person orpcrsons arrested promptly trans
ferred to the nearest military commander,
Tie functions Of civil officers meo dis
regards this order will be suspended.

LAAL tlEi-%arSIl-
W that in many portions Ct tie State:
there is great disturbance and apprckcn-
sion from lawless persons, who arc .hlev-
ing, marauJiug and committing acts of
violence remote from the military garri>
SONS stationed at the Court Houses; and
whereas Drigadier General Ames, Conn
manding the Northwestern portion Of
tic State, has suggested The orgauizrti"n
of Il militia police force inscach District
ofhis command, s6act in concert with his
forces in preserving order and peace in
the community; and whereas it is sup
posed that the other military commands
ers will have no objections to the aid and
assistance on the part Of tia
citizens in suppres>ing crime and main
tanning order; an'! whereas, also, it ap-
pcals that President Johnson has sauc-
Toned and authorized tue ProvsiouaG
Governor Of Mississippi 10 organize 81
similar force in. that State, and las t,r>
biducu tic military authorities there To-
interfere With such organization.
Now therefore, l., BENJAMIN T.
PERRY, Provisional Governor Of tie
State Of South Caroliua, do proclaim, CT
dor, and declare, that there shall he
formed and ORGANIZED in each Judicial
District one 6rmort militia companies
tor home police, to act under and be
auxiliary to the military garrison of such
District in preventing crimes and prescrv,
ing the peace of the District. The com>
panies will consist Of a Captain and three
Lieutenants and eighty men, scattered
over the district so as to be easily access
ible from all points where any distur-
bance may occur. Whellshe companies
are formed, they will rcpk, through
their Captains, to the respective Brig.
Generals con.mandingiu South Carolina,
aud to the Provost Marshals at the re-
spcctive Court Houses, and from them
receive their orders. When arrests have
been made, they will turn them over
to the civil authorities or bring them
before the Provost Court Marshal for trial
and punishment, according to the terms
of agreement between Generals Meade
and Gilmore and myself as to the respect
! i've jurisdictions of the civil and military
authorities in South Carolina.
This police guard will be voluntary in
lis Organization, and should be composed
Of none but discreet persons of standing
and character in the community, who are
willing to render their services promptly
when the occasion requires. 1t is
thought that the bare organization Of
such forces throughout the State, will
have a most sslutary influence in prescrv-
ing peace and order and in preventing
crime. The evil doors will know that
there is power, ready at hand, to arrest
them and bring them to justice. 1t is to
be hoped that all good citizens will cheer
fully render this service. II should he
post of honor, as it is, to guard and to
protect the country.
