The following ia the Proclamation of Governor Sharkey, of Mississippi, in relation to, colored testimony lately published : ?XECDTIVE OFFICE, JACKSON, MISS., Sept. 25, 1865. By au order bearing date the 20th instant,' Col. Samuel Thomas, 'Assis? tant Commissioner of the Freedmen's Bureau i? this State, proposes to ' transfer to the civil authorities of the j?tate the right to try all cases, in which the rights of freedmen are in- ! volved, either for injuries done to their persons or property. This pro? position is made, however, on con? dition that "the judicial officers and magistrates of the Provisional Go? vernment of the State will take for their mode of procedure the laws now in force in this State, except so far as those, laws make a distinction on ac? count of color, and allow negroes the same rights and privileges as are ac? corded to white men. before their courts,'*by which I undei stand that negroes shall be allowed t J testify in cases where their interest is involved. And believing that the late consti /tutional amendment which abolishes slavery, abolishes also all laws which . constituted a part of the policy of the system of slavery in declaring that tue negro "shall be protected in his person' and. property, established principles which, of themselves, en? title the negro to sue and be sued, ana as a necessary incident to such right that he is made competent as a . witness, according to the V .vs of evi? dence of the State : .Now, therefore, I, "William L. Shar . key,** Provisional Governor of Missis? sippi, with the view of securing to our citizens the right of trial before their own officers, and under their Own laws, rather than by a military ; law, do hereby proclaim and make ^knowri that, in all cases, civil and criminal, in which the rights of ne? groes are involved, either for injuries done to their person? or property/ or in matters of contract, the testimony of negroes may "be received, subject . to the common law rules of evidence as regards competency and credibility, which prevail in regard to white per . sons. And i do, therefor*, accept the proposition of Col. Samuel Thomas, Assistant Commissioner of the Freed? men's Bureau of this State, and re? quest that no Freedmen's Court shall -hereafter be organized, and that those already in . existence be closed, and instructed to transfer the cases before them to the civil authorities ; and I hereby instruct all judicial officers and magistrates to act accordingly, until the Legislature shall act upon this subject. Given under my hand, and the great I seal of the State affixed, this the day and date above written. \V. L. SHABKEY, Provisional Governor of Mississippi.
