General Hancock Defines His own
Powers
The following order has but recently
come to our notice;
HEADQUARTERS FIFTH MILITARY DISTRICT.
New Orleans, La, January l, le63. :
General Orders No. /
Applications have been made at these
headquarters implying the existence of an
arbitrary authority in the Commanding
general touching purely civil controversies,
One petitioner solicits this action. another
that, and each refers to some special con-
slderation Of grace or favor which he SIM
poses to exist, and which should influence
this department.
The number of such applications and
the waste of time they involve. make it
necessary to declare that the administra-
uon OF civil justice appertains to the
regular courts. The rights of litigants do
not depend on the views of the general
they are to be adjudged and settled ac-
cordlng to the laws. Arbitrary power.
such as he has been urged to assume, has
no existence here. 1t is not found in the
laws OF Louisiana or Of Texss-it can not
be derived from any act or acts of con-
gress-it is restrained by constitution and
prohibited from action in many particulars.
The major general Commanding takes
occasion to repeat that while disclaiming
Judicial functions in civil cases, he can
suffer no forcible resistance to the exeeu-
tion Of process of the courts.
By command Of Major General ". &
Hancock. GEO. L. HARTSUFF.
Assistant Adjutant General.
In consideration of the reasons con-
tanned in the above order it is incumbent
upon our convention to perfect the civil
as soon as possible.

the pope, on taking leave of General le

LII THE GREAT DECLINE IN DIR Goops
can be practically understood and realized by
calling at, or sending your orders to the cheap
Dry Goods Store of Piper, Drake & Co.. Main ST.
Staunton, where you can find nearly all kinds of
goods, particularly Dress Goods, at prices abso-
lutely lower than before the war.
As a general principle, we are opposed to say
ing extravagant things in advertisements; but as
really very cheap goods can now be had, we
think it proper to make known the following
facts.
We are now almost daily receiving fresh goods
by Express, which being bought at greatly re-
duced prices, enable US to offer special induce
ments to those in want of goods: For instance:
Best French Merinos at less than Sl,OO per
yard. Bismark Reps and Alpacas, reduced Co
burgs and English Merinos cheap. Atwood
Scotch Plaids, black, white and coored so censt
per yard. Dress Goods, Stripes and Plaids worth
IS cents, for S7a and so cents per yard Good
Prints at from III to Is cents. Black Alpacas,
Bleached Cottons, White and Red Flannels All
wool fulled gray cloth, Satinets Hosiery, Gloves
Ladies' Shoes manufactured expressly for US. All
the above at greatly reduced prices.
We would ask particular attention to our one
yard wide Brown Cotton, which we are selling
very rapidly at prices that no house undersell

have been strong in the breast of our friend j. D.

procedure SO irregular and contrary to all pre-
