commanding the Northwestern portion
Of the State, has suggested the organ liza.

ing orGer; and whereas, also, it appears
that President Johnson has sanctioned
and authorized the Provisional Governor
Of Mississippi TO organize a. similar force
in that State, and has forbidden the mill.
tary authorities thero TO in,erfe,e with
such organization.
Now therefore, 7, BENJAMIN F.
PERRY, Provisional Governor OF tks
State Of South Carolina, do proclaim, or.
der, and declare, that there shall be
formed and organized in each judicial
District one or more militia companies
for home police, to act under aad be
auxiliary TO the military garrison of such

serving the peace Of the District. Tho
companies will consist Of Captain and
three Lieuteuants and eighty men, scat
tered over the district SO rs to be easily
accessible from all points where any dis.
turbance may occur. When the CON-,
panies are formed, they will report,
through their Captains, to the respective

the respec i've Court Houses, and from
them receive their orders. When arrests
have been made, they will turn them over

aud punjshment, according to the terms
OF agreement between Genera Is Meade

This police guard will be voluntary in

Of none but discreet persons of standing
and character ir the community, vino are
willing to render their services promptly.
when the occasion requires. Itis thought
that The bare organization Of such forces

salutary Influence In preserving peace
