'Presidential Proclamation.
"Washington, May 4. By the President of
the United States of America, a proclama
tion: The act of Conjrress entitled "An act to en
' force the provisions of the fourteenth amend
ment to ihe Constitution of the United States,
and for ether purposes," approved April 20,
1871, being a law of extraordinary public im
portance, I consider it uiy duty to Issue this my
proclamation calling the attention of the people
of the United States thereto, enjoining npon ail
good citizens, and especially upon all public
officers, to fee zealous in the enforcement
thereof, and warning all persons to abstain from
committing any of the acts thereby prohibited.
This law of Congress applies to ail parts of the
United States, and will be enforced everywhere
to the extent of the powers vested in the Exe
cutive. But Inasmuch as the necessity therefor is well
known to have been caused chiefly by persistent
violations of the rights of citizens of the United
States, by combinations of lawless and dis
affected persons In certain localities lately the
theatre of insurrection and military conflict, I
do particularly exhort the people of those parts
of the country to suppress all such combina
tions by their own voluntary efforts through the
agency of local laws, and to maintain the rigiits
of all citizens of the United States, and to se
cure all such citizens the equal protection of the
laws.
Fully sensible of the responsibility imposed
npon the Executive by the act of Congress to
which public attention is nowcalled.and reluctant
to call Into exercise any of the extraordinary
powers thereby conferred upon me, except in
ases of Imperative necessity, I do, neverthe
less, deem it my duty to make known that I
will not hesitate to exhaust the powers thus
vested in the Executive whenever and wherever
it shall become necessary to do so for
the purpose of securing to all
citizens of the United States the
peaceful enjoyment of the rights guaranteed to
them by the Constitution and laws. It is my
earnest wish that peace and cheerful obedience
to law may prevail throughout, the land, and
that all traces of our late nnhappy civil strife
may be speedily removed. These ends can be
easily reached by acquiescence in the results of
the conflict now written in
our Constitution and by the due and
proper enforcement of equal, just, and impar
tial laws in every part of our country. .The
failure of local governments to furnish such
means for the attainment of results so earnestly
desired impose npon the National Government
the duty of putting forth all Its energies for the
protection of all its citizens of every race and
color, and for the restoration of peace and order
throughout the entire country.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto 6et my
hand, and caused the seal of the United States
to be affixed.
Done at the City of Washington, this third day
of May, in the year of our Lord one thousand
elgLt hundred and seventy-one, and of the In
dependence of the United States the ninety
fifth. U. S. Ghant.
By the President,
Hamilton Fish, Secretary of State.
