PROMPT RESPONSE OF THE PRESIDENT
The President has instructed the Adjutant
General of the army to direct the Command
ing General of the Department of the South
10 furnish the necessary assistance 10 the
governor of Mississippi TO enable him to
MAINTAIN order and preserve life in case the
SO-called insurrection in that state should
become too formidable for the state authOri-
Ties to control or suppress.
ALL To be DONE LEGALLY
The President also directed the Adjutart
General OF the army that before teIegraphing
instructions 10 the Commanding General of
the Department of the South. 10 submit
them 10 the Attorney General to see if thew
were entirely legal.
PROCLAMATION NECESSARY.
iron the receipt of these instructions the
Adjutant General this morning had a con-
ference with the Attorney General. Mr..
PierrepOnt decided that il would not be legal
to direct steps to be taken by the military
forces i'm advance of the Issuance of a procla-
nation commanding the alleged riOtOuS per-
sons TO disperse. The question of the isSu-
ance of such a proclamation is now under
duElSpmPnt r
Army officers, and in fact Other officials
crlticlSe the course OF Governor AmaS i'm
calling for the militia. They say that GDv-
eTnor Anes has not exhausted his own re-
sources, in fact that he has made no effort to
use the powers of the state in illuminating
the alleged Insurgents. Others express the
warrant the issuance of proclama-
ton treating the affair as a rebellion
which requires the aid of the national au-
thOrltes Tnere is clause in the enforce
ment act which empowers any district Judge.
TO convene his court in any district or at
any place where troubles Of a riotOuS nature
exist, and which also gives him the brOalest
limit for speedy trial and summary punish
ment Of offenders. 1t is stated that Governor
AmeS has failed TO avail himself OF this
privilege ON the other hand it, is cOntande1
that daily shooting down of citizens in cold
blood. and the driving ont of the state au-
thOritles from certain counties bv the inSur-
gents is too grave "A state OF affairs to trifle
with by the iarcical use CfdemOraIized state
officials.
ATTORNEY GENERAL PIERREPONr
1t it thought TO be doubtful whether AttOr-
ney General PierrepOnt will recommend the
Issuing Of a dispensing proc lamatlon, bat
what course he will certainly pursue is o.
course cOHJectUral. He is directed by the
President 10 consult with Secretary Fish
secretary Fish l. not IN town. TniS morn
ing, however. Judge PierrepOnt telegraphed
SCcTetasy Fish at his country seat on the
Hudson, to know where he could meet him
/ p to O'Clock to-day ne ma recei we'd no re-
ply. OF course, he VIII take no definite ac-
ton until he has consulted with Mr.. Fish.
