A PROCLAMATION by the President of
the United States of America:
WHEREAS, 1t is provided in the Constitu-
ton of the United States that the United
States shall protect every State in this
Union, on application of the Legislature. or
of the executive when the Legislature can
not be convened), against domestic vio-
lence:
And whereas, 1t is provided in the laws
OF the United States that, in all cases of in
surrection in any State or of obstruction to
the laws thereof, it shall be lawful for the
President of the United States, on applica-
ton OF the Legislature of such State, or of
the executive when the Legislature can not
be convened), to call forth the militia of any
other State or States, or to employ such part
of the land and naval force as shall be
Judged necessary for the purpose of sup
pressing such instruction, or of causing the
laws to be duly executed;
And whereas, have received information
that combinations of armed men, unauthor-
lied by law, are now disturbing the peace
and safety of the citizens of the State of
South Carolina, and committing acts of vio-
lence in said State of a character, and to an
extent which render the power of the State
and its officers unequal to the task of pro-
tectlng life and property, ana securing pub
lie order therein;
And whereas, the legislature of said State
is not now in session and can not be con-
vened in time to meet the present emer-
gency, and the executive of said State has
therefore made application to me for such
part OF the military force of the United
States as may be necessary and adequate
to protect said State and the citizens thereof
against the domestic violence hereinbefore
and to enforce the due execution
of the laws;
And whereas, the laws of the United
States require that, whenever it may be
necessary, in the judgment of the President
to use the military force for the purpose
aforesaid, he shall forthwith, by proclama-
ton, command such insurgents to dispense
and retire peaceably to their respective
abodes within limited time:
Now, therefore, /, Ulysses S. Grant,
President of the United States, do hereby
command the persons composing the unlaw-
full combinations aforesaid to dispense and
retire peaceably to their respective abodes
within twenty days from this date.
In witness whereof, / have hereunto set
my hand and caused the seal of the United |
States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington, this |
twenty-fourth day of March, in the year of |
our Lord eighteen hundred and seventy |
Dne, and of the Independence of the United |
