GARNET RrMoRs,- Newspapers and
correspondents are constantly making
a Cabinet for Mr.. Wade. Among other
appointments they assign Mr.. Morrill,
to the head Of the Treasury Depart
ment, and Mr.. Edmunds to the Attorney
Generalship. These Of course are prema-
tnre calculations. The way some people
dispose of Cabinet officers in advance of

The following highly important
order bears its own explanation
Headquarters, Department Ia, I
New Orleans, Sept. 1, 1868.
Circular No. 2.
In order that the official rela-
tions between the commanders of
military posts and detaehments,
and sheriffs Of the various parishes
aud counties ofthe States compris-
ing this. department, may be fully
understood by all concerned, the
following instructions are commu-
nicated for the government of such
COMMANDERS: Aa Ees
The sheriff, being a State officer,
usually appointed for a particular
county or parish, is restricted in
the execution of his duties to the
territorial limits of such county or
parish. His right to require the
assistance of the posse conitatsss is
supreme within such limits. He
is, therefore, authorized, In cases
of unlawful resistance to his au-
thority clearly shown to exist, to
require the assistance ofany troops
serving within his district. In
such Eases the military comman
der win be required to. render the
assistance called for; provided,
that in the exercise of q sound
discretiom, he is satisfied that the
necessity for such service exists.
But should he not be thoroughly
satisfied OF this, he will decline to
act until he can report to, and re-
ceive special instructions from,
these headquarters, in each case.
The official relations of military
commanders and United States
Marshals are to be defined as fol
lows The Marshal, being a
United States officer, is acting
under the same authority as that
which governs the military com
mander himself; and his district
being ordinarily restricted to the
limits OF the State, his authority
to call for the assistance of troops
in cases arising cut of a resistance
to the laws of the United States
is co-extensive with the limits OF
such State. He will, therefore,
have Alright to call upon any mill.
tary commander, within his dis
trict, for such assistance as the
nature of the case may require
but the military commander will,
as before indicated, exercise q
sound discretion upon the necessi
ty for the use of his troops.
In no case is it deemed proper
to consider mere riotOus demon
stration as O case calling for thu
interpositiQn of the military forces
which should not he displayed
until it shall be absolutely neces
sary for them to act.
By command of Brew. Mai. Gen
