concludes as follows:
AND WHEREAS, the President, in the
said proclamation of the 18th of June,
1866, upon the grounds therein stated
and hereinbefere recited, did then and
thereby proclaim the instruction which
heretofore existed in the several States
before named, except Texas, at an end,
and was henceforth to be so regarded
and whereas, subsequently to the said
I'd day of April, 1866, the insurrection in
the State of Texas has been completely
and everywhere suppressed and ended,
and the authority of the United States
has been successfully aad completely
established in the said State OF Texas,
and now remains therein unresisted and
undispufed, and such of the proper
United States officers as have been duly
commissioned within the limits OF the
said State are now in the undisturbed
exercise of their official functions; and
whereas, the laws can now be sustained
and enforced in the said State of Texas
by the proper authorities, State or FEEDER.
al, and the people of the said State Of Tex
as, like the people of the other States be-
fore named, are well and Loyalty dispos-
ed, and have csnformed or will conform

the reasons and conclusions set forth IN

made by military orders to enforce the
