view. All the courts, tribunals, and political functionaries of State, county, and city authority will continue in the discharge of their duties, as in times of peace, only in no way interfering with the exercise of the predominant power assumed and asserted by the military authorities. All peaceful citizens are required to remain quietly in their homes, and in pursuit of their ordinary avocations, excepting as they may possibly be subject to call for personal services, or other necessary requisitions for military purposes or uses hereafter.

All seditious language or mischievous practices tending to the encouragement of rebellion are especially prohibited, and will be promptly made the subject of observation and treatment. Traitorous and dangerous persons must expect to be dealt with as the public safety may require. "To save the country is paramount to all other considerations. "

When the occasion for this proclamation passes by, no one will be more rejoiced than the undersigned to have the entire supremacy of the civil power restored, and to return to the normal condition of a country at peace and a Government sustained by a united people.
