The tri-weekly standard. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1866-1868, 1867-05-07

| 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 sub-Jenkinses, shall remain
in office, and administer the Government,
subject to the provisions of the Reconstruc-
ton act of Congress. Jenkins sees fit pub
licy 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? Yet what
else could Gen. Pope do unless he should
see fit to resign and take himself out of
Georgia?
2. Gen. Schofeld is Military Commandment
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:
st is a proposition which implies that
they are ready to grasp the blood-stained
hands of the authors ofour ruin"
Gen. Schotield says he desires the utmost
liberty of speech and of the press. but thinks
this allusion 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?
3. Gen. Sickles finds that the firemen of
Charleston, S. c., right under his nosel |
have contracted the bad habit of disfavoring !
the flag of their country. They had great
parade last year, wherein they displayed
great variety of flags, but that ofthe 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 I
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:
'tI desire that you will at once send for the
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 colors 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 foreman 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-
essary to insure the execution of this order.
D. E. SICKLES,
Major-General Commanding.
That order brought the matter to focus
at once. AS the procession was forbidden to
move till it was obeyed, they soon found
