C, April 11, 1867. General Obdeb No. 10. The general des titution prevailing among the population of this military district cannot be relieved without afford ing means for the development of their industrial resources. The nature and extent of the destitu tion demand extraordinary measures. The peo ple are borne down by a heavy burden of debt, the 1 crops of grain and garden produce failed last year, many families have been deprived of shelter, many'' more need food and clothing, useful implements and auxiliaries of husbandry are very scarce; the laboring population in numerous localities are threatened with starvation unless supplied with food by the Government of the United States ; the inability of a large portion of the people to pay taxes leaves the local authorities without adequate means of relief, and the gravity of the situation increased by the general disposition shown by creditors to enforce upon an impoverished people the immediate collection of all claim si To suffer all this to go on without restraint or remedy is to sacrifice the general good. The rights of creditors shall be respected, but the appeal of want and nif f ering must be heeded. Moved by these consider ations, the following regulations arc announced, and thev will continue in force with such modifi cation as the occarion may require until the civil government of the respective States shall be es tablished in accordance with the requirements of the Government of the United States. " The com manding General earnestly desires and confidently believes that the observanoe of these regulations and the co-otieration of all persons concerned in employing. fairly and justly the advantages still remaing to them, will mitigate the distress now existing, and that the avenues of industry, enter prise, and organization thus opened will contrib ute to the permanent welfare and future happi ness of the people. , Eirt : Inpnsonmentfor debt is prohibited, un less the defendant in eqecution shall be convicted of a fraudulent concealment or disposition of his iroperty with intent to hinder, delay, and prevent the creditor in the recovery of his debt or demand, and the proceedings now established North and South Carolina respectively, for the trial and de termining of such questions, may lie adopted. Second. J udgment or decrees lor the payment of money on causes of action arising between the 19th of December, 18G0, and the 15th bf May, 1865, shall not l enforced bv execution against the property or the person of the defendant. Pro ceedings in such causes of action nott pending shall be stayed, and no suit or process shall 1 hereafter instituted or commenced for any such causes of action. Third. Sheriffs, coroners and constables are herebv directed to suspend for twelve calendar months the sale of ali probity upon exeevtion of process on liabilities contracted prior to the l!)th ef Decemlier, I860, unless uixin the written con sent of the defendants, except in cases where the plaintiff, or in liis absence his agent or attorney, shall upon oath, with corroborative testimony, al- cge or prove that the defendant is moving or in tends fraudulently to remove his property qeyohd the territorial jurisdiction of the Court. The sale of real or personal property by foreclosure . of mortgage is likewise suspended for twelve calan dar months, except in cases where the payment of interest moncv accruing since the 15th day of May, 1865, shall not have been made before the dav of sale. Fourth. Judgments or decrees entered or en rolled on causes of action arising subsequent to the 15th of May, 18&, may be indorsed by execu tion against the property of the defendant, and in the application of the money arising under such executions, regard shall be had to the priority of liens, unless in cases where the good faith of any lien shali be drawn in question. In such cases the usual mode of proceeding adopted in .North and South Carolina respectively to determine that question shail be adopted. Jf itln. All proceedings ior me recovery oi mon ev under contracts, whether under seal or by pa role, the consideration for which was the purchase of negroes, are suspended. Judgments or decrees eutered or enrolled for such causes of action shall not be enforced. Sixth.
