No Loyal" Militia in the South until
Congress Meets,
WASHINGTON, August 81,

A oircurlar letter from tho War Depart.
meht includes the following extract from the
army appropriation bill passed at the last
session Of Congress:
''Be it eaactsa, That all militia forces now
organized or in service in either ofthe States
of Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolna,
Georgia, Florida, Alabaiha, Mississippi,
and Texas 30 forthwith disbanded, and that
Che further organization, arming, or calling
into service Of the said militia forces, or
any part thereof, is hereby prohibited
under any circumstances whatever until
tho sans shall be authorized by Congress.
. The publication Of this extract is intended
as an explanation Of tho refusal Of Secretary
Scho6eld TO furnish arms TO the militia of
the Southern States on application of their
Governors, and also for tho information of
officers Of tho army now on duty in tho
South.
Alluding to Tho matter, tho Now York
TIMES says edtoria,ly:
"The casB Is made good deal palmer by
the extract from the law which the Secreta-
ry of War introduces into hia order. By
one Of those unfortunate blunders, which
have marred the progress of reconstruction
at almost every stage, the South is literally
without militia. Not only have the local
governments no arms for their use, but the
supplying Of arms by tho War Department
Is forbidden by clause which, passed under
difterent circumstances, Is yet unrepealed.
Congress-, therefore, in its haste to adjourn,
did more than neglect the distribution of
arms; while ameasure, brought forward at
a late day, righHully y, !, 90 ntemp plated, is left
on the. statute book, q provision of which
restraints tho War Department from arming
the militia. Whatever The emergency, to
this extent the reconstructed States are
powerless, and their authorities are para]y
zed by an order whioh nothing less than the
action OF Congress can, set aside." +. .
