DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, |
WASHINGTON, September 3, 1874.
SIR-Outrages of various descriptions,
and in some cases atrocious murders,
have been committed in your district by
bodies of armed men, sometimes in dis
guise, and with the view, it is believed,
of overawing and intimidating lawabid-
ing citizens and deprivlng them of the
rights guaranteed them by the Constitu-
ton and laws. Your attention is directed
to an Act of Congress, passed April 8,
1866, entitled An Act to Protect all Per-
sons in the United States in their Civil
Rights and Furnish Means for their Vim
dication; and another, passed April 90
1871, entitled An Act to Enforce the
Provisions of the Fourteenth Amend
ment TO the Constitution of the United
States and for other purposes; also, to
one passed May 30, 1870, entitled An Act
to Enforce the Rights of Citizens of the
United States to Vote in the Several
States of the Union, and for other pur-
poses, which, with these amendments,
make these deeds OF violence and blood.
shed within the jurisdiction of the Gen
eral Government, unlawful.
l consider it my duty to instruct you
to proceed with all possible energy and
dispatch to expose, arrest and punish
perpetrators of these crimes, and to that
and you are to spare no effort or neces-
sary expense. Troops of the United
States will be stationed at different and
convenient points in your District for
that purpose, giving you all needful aid
in the discharge of your official duties.
You understand, OF course, that no inter-
ference whatever is intended with any
political or party action, but protec-
colored, in the free exercise Of their free
elective and other rights and privileges
to which they are entitled under the
Constitution and laws as citizens Of the
United States. The instructions are
issued by authority of the President,
and with concurrence OF the Secretary of
War. Very respectfully,
GEo. H. WILLIAMS,
Attorney General

Lone BRANCH, N. j., Sept. 3, 1874.
To General Belknap, Secretary:
The recent atrocities in the South, par.
ticularly in Louisiana, Alabama and
South Carolina, show disregard for Law
civil rights and personal protection tina,

thorities, until such authorities become
powerless under such circumstances. II

aid possible for the protection of life

informed as to outrages, if any commit

danger lies, and so order troops as to b.
available in cases Of necessity. Proceed
ings for protecting the South will b,
under the War Department, and will b,

cordance with the provisions of the en-
forcement Act. No instructions need

into the Southern States, except all tina
may be transmitted from time to time OF
the advice of the Attorney General, OF
such as circumstances may determin,
hereafter. Yours truly,
