C., August 1,1807. iOeneral Orders No. G5.] I. Registration shall co nun on co itnm? I diately upon tho promulgation of this order. . j II. Best Commanders will bo Superin? tendents of Registre tion within tboir re 1 spjetivo commands, exercising, io addi I tion to the functions hereinafter specially conferred, a. general supervisory authority, looking to the faithful execution of the ; BC vera) Reconstruction Act?, the mainte i nance of order, and tho protection of po I litical rights.

V. Offences perpetrated by white porsons disguised as blacks being of frequent oc? currence, the attention of all authorities, civil and military, is directed to the device, as ono adopted to escape detect ion, and to cast unmerited obloquy upon thc colored people.
