Tho Conference Between the Military
and civil Authorities.

Tho Conference between the Military
and civil Authorities.
The Charleston Courier speaks as
follows of this meeting:
/ In compliance with his request,
Major-General Sickles, commanding
this military district, was met yester-
day by Governors Worth, of North
Carolina, and Orr, of this State, for
the purpose of having q free confer
ence upon the preliminary details of
reorganization under the reconstruc-
ton bills. Tho interview was, we
understand, mutually agreeable and
satisfactory. Amongst the results
attained, we may mention the follow
ing: ID
The details of registration will be
Immediately prepared by direction of
Gen. Sickles, and put into operation
as soon as persons can be found to
act in the capacity of registers who
are qualified under the provisions of
the supplemental bill to do so.
No elections for municipal or State
officers will be held in either of the
States until tho Conventions which
are to be called shall have met and
adopted new Constitutions. No civil
officer will be removed who faithfully
discharges his duties.
Whenever vacancies occur by rea-
son of the expiration of the tenure OF
office, by death, resignation or other
wise, they will be filled by appoint
ments, to be made by the Governors
of these States, if the officers are OF
tho character elected 10y tho General
Assemblies, unless special reasons to
the contrary should arise, or by the
Commanding General, if they aro of
the class elected by popular suffrage.
The News says:
Our distinguished guests, Cover
nors Orr, of South Caralina, and
Worth, of North Carolina, have left
us. Gen. Siclles, we learn, gave q
select dinner party, yesterday even
ing, ut his residence, Ex-Governor
Magrath and Chief Justice Dunkin
being of tho party. Later in the
evening, the officers Of the staff and
others stationed i'll the city paid their
respects to the two Governors.
Governor Worth left last night by
the North Eastern train, escorted to
the depot by several members of Gen.
Sickles' staff. He was much pleased
with what Ike heard and saw in our
city, and the result of his interview
with the Commander of tho District,
we learn, was altogether satisfactory.
Governor Orr left by tho train this
morning.

Be THANKFUL.-The recent decision of the
supreme court points.to speedy overthrow
OF a vast mass of reckless partisan legisla-
ton. The radical leaders see the freedmen's
bureau bill, and the civil rights bill, and the
test oath, and the confscation, under process
OF exsinguishmsnt, snd they see also bar
rier against the enactment of the whole batch
Of bills they have coneocted for the punish
msnt of the southern states and in opposition
to she presidents policy. Let us be thank
ful that we have O supreme court left, and
that republican supreme court has thus
indicated the course Of the democratic par
ty. There is reason to rejoice
