to govern themselves. But these constitutional methods were rejected. First came the unauthorized system of provisional governors, civilians without any shadow of lawful authority for their appointments, and their abortive attempts at reconstruction. Next the Fourteenth Amendment, disfranchising nearly all the trusted leaders of the Southern people, and then the iron-clad oath, universal enfranchisement of the ignorant blacks, and carpet-bag governments, with all their offensive consequences. If wise statesmanship instead of party passion had ruled the hour, how easily could those twelve years of misrule in the South, and consequent disappointment and shame among its authors in the North, have been avoided! A provisional governor (William W. Holden) having been appointed for North Carolina, I relinquished command of the department in June, 1865, to enter upon more important service in respect to the then existing military intervention in Mexico by the Emperor of the French.

To remove a doubt which seems to exist in the minds of some of the people of North Carolina, it same day I issued the following: (General orders, no. 31.) Hdqrs. Dept. of North Carolina, army of the Ohio, Raleigh, N. C., April 27, 1865. The commanding general has the great satisfaction of announcing to the army and to the people ofhis purpose will furnish them the necessary railroad passes and subsistence.

Such persons must not be given passes to Raleigh or points on the sea-coast, nor be permitted to congregate about towns or camps, there to live in idleness. On May 5, I wrote to General Sherman: When General Grant was here, as you doubtless recollect, he said the lines had been extended to embrace this and other States south. The order, it seems, has been modified so as to include only Virginia and Tennessee. I think it would be an act of wisdom to open this State to trade at once. I hope the government will make known its policy as to organization of State governments without delay. Affairs must necessarily be in a very unsettled state until that is done. The people are now in a mood to accept almost anything which promises a definite settlement. What is to be done with the freedmen is the question of all, and it is the all-important question.

ews concerning the policy that ought to be pursued in North Carolina, leaving it to your judgment whether or not to submit them to the President or Secretary of War. I am now led to this mainly by a letter which I received on the 7th from Chief Justice Chase, giving some points of the policy advocated by him, which, if adopted in this State, would in my opinion lead to disastrous results. The points I refer to are briefly as follows, viz.: The organization of the State government to be lry government—the latter being a necessary substitute in the absence of the former. I am willing to discharge, to the best of my ability, any duty which may properly devolve upon me. Yet if a policy so opposed to my views as that proposed by Mr. Chase is to be adopted, I respectfully suggest that I am not the proper person to carry it out. If, however, after knowing my views fully, it be desired that I execute the President's wishes, would it not be well for me to have a personal intervie

e pursued in North Carolina an order from General Grant in regard to cotton and produce suggestions for the reorganization of Civil government a provisional Governor for North Carolina. being in command in North Carolina at the close of the war, I was connected for a short period with the very earliest consideration of the vital question of the restoration of civil government in the Southern States, in which I acted a more important part at a later period. The moment the surrender of Johnston's army made it evident that the end was near, the question arose, and was much discussed among some of the prominent officers, as to the status of the negroes in the South. The position was promptly taken by me, as the responsible commander in North Carolina, that the question at that time was solely one of fact. The President's proclamation of emancipation was virtually a military order to the army to free all the slaves in the insurgent States as rapidly as military operations should br
