ATLANTA, Ga, August 13, 1867.
General Orders No. 40.
l. The Commanding General has
become satisfied that the civil officers
in this Military District are only oh
serving his order prohibiting them
from using any influence to deter the
people from reconstructing the State
Governments, under the recent Acts
of Congress, SO far as their own per-
'sonal conversation is concerned, and
are Mt the same time, by their official
patronage, supporting and encourag-
ing. new parties, which are, almost
without exception, opposing recon-
struction and obstructing and embar-
rassing the civil officers appointed
by the military authority in this Dis
trict in the performance of their du-
ties, by declarations and threats of
future penalties for their official acts.
II. Such use of the patronage of
their offices is simply an evasion, per-
haps unintentional, of the provisions
of the General Orders above referred
to, and is, in fact, an employment of
the machinery of the provisional
State Governments to defeat the exc
'cution of the reconstruction Acts.
III. It is therefore ordered, that all
advertisements, or other official pub
dioations, heretofore or to be hereafter
provided for by State and municipal
laws or ordinances, be given, by the
proper civil officers whose duty it is
to cause such publication to be made,
to such newspapers, and such only,
as have not opposed and do not op-
pose reconstruction under the Acts
of Congress, nor attempt to obstruct,
in any manner, civil officers appointed
by the military authority in this Dis
trict! in the discharge of their duty,
by threats of violence, or other pc
nalties, so soon as the military pro
lection is withdrawn, for acts per-
formed in their official capacity.
lV. All officers in this Military Dis
trict, and all officers of the Freed
mems Bureau, and all Boards of Re
Sistration, or other persons in the
employment of the United States,
under its military jurif diction, are
directed to give prompt ottention to
the enforcement of this CIDER, and to
make immediate report to headquar-
ters of any civil officer who violates
its provisions. By command of Bre-
vet Major-General Pope.
