p. ''W. II. SHERMAN, General"
This is all that General Sherman had to
do with the case, and there is as yet nothing
known of the record to show that any me-
groes or white men were to be e)eeted from
their possessions. ....-.
All General Sherman did was to convey
to the actual commander Of the troops a
knowledge Of the fact that the conditions
required by the Constitution and laws Of
the United States had been complied with.
and that the troops of the United Suites
were thereby warranted in aiding the civil
officers to execute the Writs Of the courts.
Instead OF acting against the orders of the
President, it was done by the specific COM
mand of the President, to whom the Go
vernon of Virginia had addressed his requi-
sition.
