HEADQUARTERS SECOND MILITARY DISTRICT,

Circular.
In reply to letters received at these Eeadquar-
tiers, asking information as to the operation in
particular cases OF General Orders No. TO- current
series from these headquarters, am directed by
the commanding general to state thattile provis
ions Of the order will be interpr ted and enforced
by the courts. The order is to be deemed and
taken an ordinance having the sanction and
authority of the United States for the regulation
much of the territory occupied by the military
forces of the United States lately the theatre Of
war, as is embraced within the second military
district created by act of Congress.
Although some of the former political relations
OF the inhabitants are in allegiance, their private
relations, their persons and property, and their
remedies for wrongs remain as heretofore, within
the cognizance of the local tribunals and subject
to the laws of the provisional government hitherto
in force except far such laws are in conflict
with the Constitution and laws OF the United
States, or with the regulations prescribed by the
commanding general.
Amongst the consequences necessarily incident
to the military authority established by Congress-
and indispensable to the objects tor which the
authority is established, is the appointment and
control of the civil agents by whom and measures
by which the government dd Interim is to be con-
Quoted. In the exercise of this authority, such
regulations and appointments viii be announ-
ced from time to time as may become neces.
sary; and so far as these regulations concern the
ordinary CIVIL relatlOuS Vi TIC iuIldoltdnLS tney
will be administered by the courts and by the
proper civil officers in the usual course of pro.
cedure.
Whilst it will not be convenient to respond to
particular inquiries made by citizens as to the
Interpretation and application of these regula
tions, such interrogatories will be answered when
addressed to the general commanding by the ap
pellate courts of law and equity.

partment for securing the safe trans.
mission of registered letters, Such
letters Will be inclosad in large en-.
vclops of stout paper each constitn-
ting Of itselfa sort OF pouch the
mail agents, railway post Office
clerks, or other persons employed
by the department, will in each case,
give q receipt for the package taken,
IN "A book the postmaster 10 10 keep
for that purpose. Then tho agent
or clerk will deliver the pacLa at
the post office to which it is directed.
or,it that is off his route, to another
agent, who will convey it onward,
invariably taking II receipt for it
10 that every man who RECEIVES n
package gives his signature for if,
and he is held directly responsible
for it's safety until it has passed out
of his hands; the signature of the
receiver OF the letter completing the
chain ofcvidencc which must always
accompany the transmission.
Under such & system there will
be some value and responsibility TO
the registry system, as there has not
been hitherto.
