Excerpt from Magazine of American History, Vol. 14: With Notes and Queries; July December, 1885 With these troops in hand I immediately commenced the nightly occu patiou of the grounds around the Executive Mansion and Of the principal public buildings, posting them after sunset each evening and withdrawing them shortly after sunrise in the morning, keeping a reserve always on duty in the armories during the day in constant readiness for any emer geney. This act of taking into service even a few troops, produced, in the capital an excellent effect.

Both parties seemed at once to recognize the fact that the government Of the United States had resolved to act as a government, at least as far as the District of Columbia was concerned.

I organized those in service in battalions Of four com panics each, placed over them the most experienced Officers Of the force.
