WASHINGTON May a. 1873

President to-day
BY THE PRESIDENT or THE UNITED STATES OF
AMERIcA-A PROCLAMATION.
whereas under the pretence that William p. Kel-
loGe, the present Executive Of Louisiana, and the
officers associated with him in the state admlnis-
tration were NOT duly elected, certain turbulent
and disorderly persons have combined together
with force and arms to resist the laws and consti
tuted authorities Of said State; s8
And whereas it has been duly certified by the
proper local authorities. and judicially determined
by the Inferior and Superior Courts OF said State
that said olcers are entitled to hold their onces
respectively and execute and discharge the func-
lions thereof; US
And whereas Congress, at it's late session, upon
q due consideration Of the subject, tactly recog-
nized the said Executive and his associates then,
as now, in ONCE, by refusing to take any action
with respect thereto;
And whereas 1t Is provided in the constitution Of
the United States that the United States shall pro-
tect every State in this Union on application Of the
Legislature, or Of the Executive when the Legisla-
ture cannot be convened, against domestic vio-
lence; 1 - a
And whereas It is provided in the laws OF the
United States that in all cases Of tnsurrection In
any State or obstruction to the laws thereof it shall
be lawful for the President Of the United States, on
application OF the Legislature Of such State, or Of
the Executive when TIE Legislature cannot be con-
or States or 10 employ such part OF the land and
naval forces as shall be judged necessary for the
purpose Of suppressing such insurrection or caus-
ing the laws to be duly executed;
And whcroas the Legislature OF said State is
not now in session, and cannot be convened in
time to meet the present emergency, and the Elk
ecutiye OF said State under section 4, article T. Of
the constitution Of the United States and the laws
passed In pursuance thereof, has therefore made
application to me for such part Of the military force
Of the United States as may be necessary and ade-
quate to protect said State and the citizens thereof
against domestic violence, and to enforce the
execution OF the laws;
And whereas 1t il required that whenever 1t may
be necessary, in the Judgment Of the President to
the military force for the purpose aforesaid he
shall forthwith, by proclamation, command such in
surgents to dispense and retire peaceably to their
respective homes within limited time;
Now, therefore, ], Ulysses s. Grant, President OF
the United States, do hereby make proclamation
and command said turbulent and disorderly per-
sons to dispense and retire peaceably to their
respective abodes within twenty days from this
date, and hereafter to submit themselves to the
laws and constituted authorities Of said state,
and invoke the aid and cooperation OF oil good
citizens thereof to uphold the laws and preserve the
public peace.
In witness whereof have hereunto set my hand
and caused the seal OF the United States to be
afixed.
