6 TRATE IS SOUTH CAROLINA. s
WASHINGTON, October II. The following
reclamation was issued to-day
By the President Of the United Stated
Proclamation.
Whereas 1t has been satisfacto rily shown
to me that insuryection and domestic violence
.existin several counties of the State OF South
Carolina, and that certain combinations of
men against law exist In many counties OF
said State, known as !" Rifle CInbs,,' who
ride UP and down by day and night, MUIR
dering some peaceable citizens and intimi.
.dating others, which combinations, though
forbidden by the laws OF the State, cannot
be controlled or suppressed by the ordinary
course OF Justice; and whereas it Is pro-
vided in the Constitution of the United
States that the United States shall
protect every State in this Union on the
application OF the Legislature, or Of the
Executive when the Legislature cannot be
convened, against domestic violence; and
whereas, in pursuance Of the above, it Is
provided in the laws Of the United States
that in all cases OF instruction in any State
or OF obstruction to the laws thereof, it.
shall be lawful for the President Of the
United States, on application of the Legis-
lature OF such State, or Of the Executive
when the Legislature cannot be con-
vened, to call for the militia of any
other State or States, or for such part
OF the land or naval forces as shall
be Judged necessary for the purpose
OF suppresslng such Instruction or causing
the laws to be duly executed; and whereas
the Legislature Of said State is not now in
session and cannot be convened in time to
meet the present emergency, and the Ex-
ecutiYe OF said State, under section OF ar
ticle Nv. OF the Constitution Of the United
States, and the laws passed in pursuance
thereof, has therefore made due application
to me in the premises 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 domestic violence and to enforce
the due execution Of the laws and whereas
it is required that whenever it may be me-
cessary in the judgment Of the President to
use the military force for the purpose afore-
said he shall forthwith by proclamation
! command such insurgents to dispense and
retire peaceably to their respective homes
within q limited time;
| Now, therefore, I, Ulysses S. Grant. Presi.
dent of the United States, do hereby make
proclamation and command all persons en-.
gagged in said unlawful and insurrectionary
proceedings to dispense and retire peaceably
to their respective abodes within three DAYS
from this date, and hereafter abandon said
combinations and submit themselves to the
laws and constituted authorities Of said
State. The cooperation Of all good citizens
thereof is asked 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 affixed.

The following has been issued by Secre-
tary Cameron: j.
TFar Department, Washin6ton, u. C., DC.
tober II, 1885, General ". r. Sherman,
commanding United States Army: Sir,-In
view OF the existing condition of affairs in
South Carolina, there is possibility that
the proclamation OF the President of this
date may be disregarded. To provide
against such contingency, you will imme-
diately order all the available force in the
military division Of the Atlantic to report to
General Ruger, commanding at Columbia,
| S. c., and instruct that officer to station his
troops in such localities that they may be
most speedily and etTectually used in case oi
resistance to the authority OF the United
States. 's
1t is hoped that collision may thus be
avoided; but you will instruct General
Ruger to let it be known that it is the fixed
purpose OF the Government to carry out the
spirit Of the proclamation, and to sustain il
by the military force of the General Govern
ment, supplemented, il necessary, by the
militia of the various States.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
81 G. D. CAMERON, Secretary OF War.

THE sCOURGE NEAR AT AN END IN SAVANNAH
NO MORE AID NEEDED-LETTER FROM THE
MAYOR AND BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION.
SAVANNAH, October 1T.-The subjoined
letter from the Mayor of this city and the
acting president Of the Benevolent Associa-
sion announces that further aid Is not
needed:
CITY OF SAVANNAH
MAYORS OFFICE, October II, 1876.
To our Benef factors Throughout the Union !:
1t is impossible to express adequately the
deep sense of gratitude felt by the people OF
Savannah for the generous benevolence
which has been extended to us from all
parts OF the United States in this our SUI.
preme hour OF distress and restitution.
It has soothed many dying pillow and
relieved many an aching heart. Such deeds
do more to bind the inhabitants Of this land
in sympathy together as citizens OF a COM
mon country than all the political theories
that were ever advanced.
All that we can now return to ollr bene-
factors are our heartfelt thanks and our sin
cere prayer that the Almighty may bless
and preserve in their own homes the noble
people who have so readily come to our res
cue, and long shield them from the pesti-
lence that walks in darkness and the de-
struction that wastes at MONDAY.
Justice and candor require US, however,
to announce at this time that by reason OF
the large iberality OF subscriptions in mo-
ney and supplies already afforded to us we
are no longer in immediate need, and we
therefore ask our friends everywhere to
cease for the present their charitable contri-
buttons. II the necessity for assistance
shall again arise among us we will frankly
and unhesitatingly appeal to them for relief.

Mayor or Savannah;
