The weekly North-Carolina standard. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 186?-1869, 1867-05-08

Gen. Pope is in command of the Military
District embracing the State Of Georgia. Mr.
Charles j. jenkins was made Governor of
that State under Mr.. Johnson's plan of Re-
construction. Gen. Pope directs that Jen-
kins, and all the subJenkinses, shall remain
in office, and administer the Government,
subject to the provisions of the Reconstruc-
tion act of Congress. Jenkins sees fit pub
licly to counsel the Georgians to treat that
law as invalid and try to have it set aside
Gen. Pope tells him that that won't do; if
the Governor is to remain in Office under
"the Military BILL" he mustn't advise the
people to defy and seek to subvert that act.
If he chooses to try that policy, he must not
do it as his Gen. Pope's) appointee to the
Governorship. Horrible, isn't it I Yet what
else could Gen. Pope do unless he should
see fit to resign and take himself out of
Georgia.
g. Gen. Schofeld is Military Commandant
of the district which includes Virginia
headquarters at Richmond. The Times
(ex-RebeD of that city sees fit to speak of
the attitude of those Black Virginians who
incline to act and vote with the Republican
party in these words:
at is proposition which implies that
they are ready to grasp the blood-stained
hands of the authors of our ruin"
Gen. Schoteld says he desires the utmost
liberty of speech and of the press, but thinks
this alusion to the army and loyal people of
the United States not the thing. In short,
he Just endures this outbreak, and won't
stand any more such. Isn't he Hay
nau?
g. Gen. Sickles finds that the firemen of
Charleston, s. c., right under his nose
have contracted the bad habit of disfavoring
the flag of their country. They had a great
parade last year, wherein they displayed
great variety of flags, but that of the United
States was not among them. He remarked
the circumstance, but was assured that it
was an inadvertence, so he let it pass. But
last Friday they had another grand annual
parade, and their long lines displayed all
manner of flags but that which was shot
down at Fort Sumter, and would MT stay
down and now he could MT help seeing that
the insult was intentional and Deliberate
He was fairly forced to try conclusions with
the unchanged Rebels, and determine wheth-
er they were or were not his masters, So he
gave this order to Gen. Clous, his Post
Commandant:
Chief of the Fire Department, and inform him
that the national standard must be borne in front
of the column; that an escort of honor to consist
of two members of each company present. will be
detailed by himself to march with the colors
that the colors be placed opposite the reviewing
personages on the ground designated for the re-
view; and that every person in the column shall
salute the cOors by lifting his hat or cap ON ar
irving at the point three PAGES distant from the
colors, and carrying the cap uplifted, marching
past the colors to the point three PAGES distant
from the same.
"The Mayor of the City, the Chief of the Fire
Department and the fOremun of companies will
be held responsible for the observance of this or
der, and they are hereby authorized and required
to arrest any person who disobeys it. You will
take such measures as you may find to be neces-
cssary to insure the execution fthis order
D. E. SICKLES,,
. MajorGeneral Commanding
That order brought the matter to focus
at once. As the procession was forbidden to
move till it was obeyed, they soon found a
L. s. flag Git had been pretended that they
couldn't get one) placed it and guarded it
as directed, and were then allowed to "pro-
coed in ORDER" as they say in Congress-
Y Tribune.
