President Grant's Proclamation.
Washington, May 4.
The Act of Congress, entitled M A
Net to enforce the provisions of th
' iiirfeenth amendment to the Consult
tion of the United ^>ir?ie?. end for olh?
mrposcs," approved April 20, A. I
1871, being h law of extraordinary put
'ic importance, I consider it my duty t
issue this ntv proclamation, calling tli
attention of tlic people of tbe Unite
Mate* tltereto ; et j ?ining upon all goo
ilizens, especially upon all public ofl
erf, to be zealous in the enforccmer
thereof, and warning all persons to at
tain from committing any of the act
thereby prohibited. This law of Cor
'.jress applies to all parts rf the Unite
Slate*, and will be enforced everywhere
to the extent of the power vested in ill
Executive ; but inasmuch as the necei
?ity therefor is well known to hate bee
caused chiefly by pem'stent violations <
the rights of citizens of the Unite
States by combim.lions of lawless an
disaffected persons in certain Iochlitie
lately the theatre of insurrection an
military conflict, I do particularly e:
liorl the people of them parts of tl
Itntrv to suppress all Slieh rnmliim
II <ns by 'heir own voluntary i fforl
hroiipli I lie agency of local lute, an
o maintain ilie lights of all citizens r
'he United Slates, and lo secure to a
auch citizens the equal protection of lit
Jaws.
Fully sensible of the responsibilit
imposed upon the Executive by the Ai
of Congress to which public nttentic
is now called, and reluctant to call ini
exercise any of the extraordinary pov
ers thereby conferred upon me, exec;
in cases of imperative necessity, I d
nevethclcss, deem it my duty to ma]
known that I will not hesitate to e
haust the power thus vested in the E
eculive, whenever and wherever it shr
become nece<sary to do so. for the pti
pose of seeming to all citizens of tl
United Sittes the peaceful enjoyment
the tights guaranteed to them by tl
v onslitulion and laws. It ii my ear
est wish that penro and cheerful ob
dience to Jaw may prevail til rough o
the land, and that all traces of our la
unhappy civil strife may he speedily r
moved. These ends can he easily reac
ed by acquie^ence in the results <f tl
oorrfllot ?>.?? ir#!l Ion ' ' - ^
nwn ilil'ltll III UUI
i'dd, and ihe due and proper enforc
meni of equal, just and impartial lat
in every part of our country.
The failure of the local communiti
to furnish such means for the obtuii
ment of results so earnestly de?ired, ir
poses upon the National Governme
the duly of putting forth all its energi
for the protection of its citizens, of evei
race and color, and for the restoration
peace and order throughout the enti
country.
In testimony whereof, I have set jr
hand and caused the seal of the Unit<
Sates to be affixed.
Done at the Citv of Washington, 4h

which we earnestly hops asy never lie removed

one of the liesl structures in the up-country,
and would remain forages. -We mean the 1
"Old Court House," which w?-uH answer 1
tuclt purpose.
In past days, of prinn-va! simplicity and ;
pence, it was an awe inspiring edifice. It
and the old Mansion IIou'c weie the architectural
wonders of those days. Huilt for '
the hai) of justice, it was also the Universal
Church. There were no chlircnea in
Greenville in those days. The first Presbyterian,
Methodist, Ipisci-pat and Roman
Catholic preachers we ever he 1 r-1 were in
this building. IVe had heard the good old
patriarchal Hnptist minister. I.ewis Rector,
in the country, and he sometime' officiate I
here. Nav, in later days, even a disciple .?f
Jo. Smith, as a Mormon lecturer, was Iinfo
on one occasion hy a laigc c"ncou>8e ct
all ages, sexes and conditions.
This building is owned by the County, is
it not f Could it lie purclias-d at some fti
lure d?.y, when we ars able to pay 1 It
would be exactly ilia Hall we need It
wou'd afford elejible ofTio-a for records, and
a very appropriate Ilall for public meetings
or for municipal deliberations.
