ANDREW JOHNSON,
President of the United States.
GENERAL ORDERS, No. 107.
WAR DEPARTMENT,
ADJUTANT-GENERAL'S OFFICE,
Washington, June 2, 1865.
Ordered, That all military restrictions upon trade in any of the States or Territories of the United States, except in articles contraband of war—to wit, arms, ammunition, gray cloth, and all articles from which ammunition is manufactured; locomotives, cars, railroad iron, and machinery for operating railroads; telegraph wires, insulators, and instruments for operating telegraphic lines—shall cease from and after the present date.
By order of the President of the United States:
E.D. TOWNSEND,
Assistant Adjutant-General.
DEPARTMENT OF STATE,
Washington, June 2, 1865.
Whereas, pursuant to the order of the President and as a means required by the public safety, directions were issued from this Department, under date of the 17th of December, 1864, requiring passports from all travelers entering the United States, except immigrant passengers directly entering an American port from a foreign country; and
Whereas the necessities which required the adoption of that measure are believed no longer to exist:
Now, therefore, the President directs that from and after this date the order above referred to shall be, and the same is hereby, rescinded.
