Circular.
In reply to letters received at these headgnar-
tiers, asking information as to the operation i'm
particular cases OF General Orders No. 10, current
series from these headquarters, am directed by
the commanding general to state that the provis-
ions of the order will be interpreted and enforced
by the courts. The order is to be deemed and
taken as ordinance having the sanction and
authority of the United States for the regulation
of certain civil affairs therein specified within SO
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 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 so 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 for which the
authority is established, is the appointment and
control of the civil agents by whom and measures
by which the government ad interim is to be con-
Quoted. In the exercise of this authority, such
ced from time to time rs may become neces-
sary; and so far these regulations concern the
ordinary civil relations of the inhabitants, they
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; ~
