GRANTS PROCLAMATION.

WAsHINGroN, May 4.-Grant has
issued the following proclamation
The Act of Congress entitled an
act TO enforce the provisions of the
Fourteenth Amendment to the Con-
stitution of the United States, and
for other purposes, approved April
20:h, 1871, being law Of eXtraor-
binary public Importance, | consider
it my duty to issue this, my pgocla-
nation calling the attention of the
people of the United States thereto,
enjoining upon all good citizens, es-
pecially upon all public officers, to
be jealous in the enforcement there
of, and warning all persons to alb
stain from committing any of the
acts thereby prohibited.
This law of Congress applies to
all parts of the United States, and
will be enforced everywhere to the
extent of the power vested in the
Executive. But, inasmuch as the
necessity therefor is we'll known to
have been caused chiefly by persis-
tent violations of the rights of citi.
zens of the United States by the
combination of lawless and disaffec-
ted persons in certain localities, late
ly the theatre of insurrection and
military conflict, do particularly
cxhort the people of those parts of
the country TO suppress all such
combinations, by their own voluntary
efforts, through the agency Of local
laws, and to maintain the rights of
all citizens of the United States, and
to secure to all such citizens the
equal protection of the laws.
Fully sensible of the responsible
ty imposed upon the Executive by
the act of Congress to which public
attention is now called, and reluctant
to call into exercise any of the eX-
traordinary powers thereby conferred
upon me, except in cases of imper-
alive necessity, | do, nevertheless,
deem it my duty to make known
that | will not hesitate to exhaust the
powers thus vested in the Executive
whenever and wherever it shall be-
come necessary to do 50, for the
purpose of securing to all citizens of
the United States the peaceful en-
ioyment of the rights guaranteed to
them by the Constitution and laws.
tbs my earnest wish that peace
and cheerful obedience to law may
prevail throughout the land, that all
traces of our late unhappy civil strife
may be speedily removed. These
ends can be easily reached by &C
quiesence in the results of the con-
aict, now written in our Constitution
and the due and proper enforcement
of equal, just and impartial laws in
every part of our country. The
failure oflocal communities TO furnish
such means for the attainment of re-
suits so earnestly desired, imposes
upon the National Government the
duty of putting forth all its energies
for the protection of its citizens of
every race and color, and for the re-
storation of peace and order through
out the entire country,
In testimony whereof have here
unto set my hand and caused the
seal of the United States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington, this
the 3rd day May in the year of our
Lord eighteen hundred aud seventy
one, and of the independence of the
United States the ninety-ffth.

FRUIT IN THE WEsr.-It is stated
that frost has inflicted much damage
to fruit in Ohio, Indiana, Missouri
and Kentucky. Apples, pears and
cherries in many localities have been
badly hurt and potatoes killed. AT
Aurora, Ind, grapes and pears re-
ported as entirely destroyed. Re-
ports from st. Louis and Louisville
are not favorable. In Maryland the
fruit is uninjured.- Er.
We have the promise of an album
dant fruit crop in Georgia. Let it
be utilized.

SIR: 1t appears there is misun-
Outstanding as to the proper execu-
ton of the act of Congress assessing
incomes. The following decision
will govern: Section eleven of the
act of Congress Of July II, 1870,
only requires every person of lawful
age whose gross income during the
preceding year exceeds $4,000 to
make and render a return to the as
sistant assessor Of the district in
which he resides. Persons whose
incomes are less than 1000 are not
required to make returns, nor is
there any authority of law TO assess
ors or assistant assessors to call for
such returns. In case any assessor
or assistant assessor has sufficient
evidence that person who has not
made a return on income has de-
frauded the government, then they
will proceed against such persons as
is prescribed by law.

The grounds of Elmwood are sacred
to almost every family in Memphis and
vicinity. Flowers planted here on the
graves and lots would soon flourish and
bloom and shed their fragrance over the
hallowed place, but for the daily de9pre-
dations Of persons who uslt these
grounds merely TO obtain flowers to
decorate their yards and vases.
We would impress upon all who gam
admittance that the flowers and shrubs
on lots and graves are private property,
and that the rules Of the company
strictly forbid the plucking OF any flower,
either wild or cultivated, that may grow
within the enclosure, No flowers or
vases will be allowed to be taken out
of the Cemetery (even If taken by lot
owners from their own lots), without a
permit from the Superintendent.
TWENTY DOLLARS REWARD.
If kind words and gentle means be OF
no avail to prevent violations OF rules,
this company is determined to try what
virtue there is in the law. A reward OF
twenty dollars will be paid to any person
giving information that will lead to the
arrest and conviction of the party com
hitting any depreciation or violating
any rule of the company, for which they
are by an act of the Legislature liable
to arrest, fine aud Imprisonment in the
county jail, and the company will prose-
cute the desecrators, whoever they may
be. to the fullest extent of the law.
