[5] Letter from Joseph E. Brown to Andrew Johnson, dated May 20, 1865, in
the Department of War, Washington. Brown was arrested on May 10. On May 8,
upon surrendering the state troops to the federal general Wilson, he had
been paroled. (The parole paper is in the above mentioned archives.) Hence
the arrest was a violation of his parole. When Wilson entered into the
parole engagement he had not been informed how his superiors would regard
the summoning of the legislature. Immediately afterward he probably
received orders from the central authorities to arrest Brown. He preferred
obeying orders to observing his engagement.

remarked, was characterized by the Secretary of War as "ancillary to the
withdrawal of military force, the disbandment of armies, and the reduction
of military expenditure by provisional [civil organizations] to take the
place of armed force." The salaries of the provisional governors were paid
from the army contingencies fund. See S. D., 39th Congress, 1st session,
no. 26.
