Such us,e of patronage of their offices is simply an evasion, perhaps unintentional ly, of provisions of General-order I abore re ferred to and is in "fact an employment of machinery of provisional State Governments to defeat the execution of reconstruction acts. ; 3d. It is therefore ordered that all adver tisements or other official publications here tofore or to be hereafter provided for by the State or Municipal laws or ordinances to be given by jproper civil officers whose duty is to cause sudh publication to be! made to such newspapers and suclronly as have not opposed and do not oppose reconstruction under acts of Congress, nor attempted to oh struct in any manner civil officers appointed by Military authorities ,iu this District in discharge of their duty" by threats of vior- lenceor prevention or other penalty as soon as Military protection is withdrawn for acts l)erformed,in their official capacity; 4th.
