BY order of MAJ. GEN. SLoCUM.
F. y. WARREN MILLER,
Assistant Adiutant General


In accordance with this order. where
the Judicial officers and magistrates of
the Provisional Government of this State
will take for their mode of procedure the
laws now in force in this State, except SO
far as those laws make a distinction on
account of color, and allow the negroes
the same rights and privileges, as are &C
corded to white men before their courts,
off GERS of this Bureau will not interfere
with such tribunals, but give them every
assistance possible in the discharge of
their duties.
In cities or counties where mayors,
judicial officers and magistrates will as
sumo the duties of the administration of
Justice to the Freedmen, in accordance
with Paragraph VII, Circular No. 5, is
sued from the Bureau of Refugees, Freed
men and Abandoned Lands, and APPROX
ed by the President, and will signify their
willingness tc comply with this request by
written acceptance addressed to the
Assistant Commissioner for the State, no
Freedmen Courts will be established, and
those that may now be in existence in
such localities will be closed.
1t is expected that the officers of this
Bureau will heartily cooperate with the
State officials in establishing law and
order, and that all conflict Of authority
and jurisdiction will be avoided.

not be so construed as to give the colored
man immunities not accorded to other
persons. If he is charged with the viola

same penalty is imposed upon white
persons as upon black, and if courts grant
to him the same privileges as are accord.

part of the military Authorities will be
permitted Several, instances have re-

Tho courts were willing to concede 10

TO white persons These officers have
not been governed by the spirit of the
order. The object OF the Government IS
not to screen this class from just punish
ment; nor to encourage in them the idea
that they can be guilty of crime and
escape its penalties but simply to secure
to them the rights of freemen, holding
them, at the same time, subject to the
same laws by which other classes are
governed, ts-..ral

The Richmond Whig says another
meeting to establish the great National
International Express Company was held
on Tuesday evening, at which were the
rebel Generals Echols, Heath Dano,
Martin and Moore, besides many other
rebel officers of less grade. Gen Echols
explained the, object of the enterprise, in
the course of which he said the fact that
the disabled and. worthy Of both the late
armies are to be employed in the manrg-
ing and working department Of the COM
pany would conciliate both sectiOns-the
South because she loves to see those
disabled in a cause they espoused as
just, well provided for; the North be-
caise she yenerates those whose scars
were received in war for the Union that
they deem indissoluble. Resolutions
were adopted to commence operations as
soon as per cent. is paid in on subscrip-
tons amounting to 5000, 900 that, until
otherwise ordered, the Office OF the, COM
