FLORIDA. This State, with Alabama and 

 Georgia, composed the Third Military District 

 created by the Reconstruction Act of Congress, 

 passed March 2, 1867. The State government, 

 organized under the proclamations of President 

 Johnson, commenced on January 17, 1866. 

 Under its administration the internal affairs of 

 the State had been reduced to order in every 

 department, as it had existed previous to the 

 war, with the exception of the new relations 

 of the blacks. 



The order of General Pope, assuming com- 

 mand of this military division, was issued on 

 April 1, 1868 (see page 17). By it, the District 

 of Key West was merged in the District of 

 Florida, and the whole placed under the com- 

 mand of Colonel John T. Sprague, with his 

 headquarters at Tallahassee. 



On April 8th another order of General Pope 

 (see page 17) directed the commanding officer 

 in Florida to proceed immediately to divide 

 the State into convenient districts for the pur- 

 pose of registration, etc., as required by the act 

 of Congress. 



On May 31st Colonel Sprague established 

 his headquarters at Tallahassee, and subse- 

 quently at Jacksonville. 



On June 18th he issued an order, announ- 

 cing the appointment of a superintendent of 

 registration for the State, and requiring all 

 officers of the army and of the Freedmen's 

 Bureau to render him every assistance re- 

 quired. 



The order prescribing the arrangement for 

 the registration of voters in the State had been 

 previously issued (see page 21).
