.forces of the United States, and not consumed, destroyed, or per-
manently fixed elsewhere, as, for instance, when captured iron has
been laid upon other roads, shall be placed at the disposal of the

roads as soon as it can be spared, and they appear by proper agents
authorized to receive it.
Seventh. No payment or credit shall be given to any railroad recap-
tured from the public enemy for its occupation or use by the United
States during the continuance of the military necessity which com-
pelled the United States to take possession of it; but its capture and
restoration shall be deemed a sufficient consideration for all such use;
nor shall any indemnity be paid for injuries done to the property of
any road by the forces of the United States during the continuance
of the war.
Eighth. Roads which have not been operated by the U. S. Quar-
termaster's Department not to be interfered with unless under mil-

may now have possession, subject only to the removal of every agent,
director, president, superintendent, or operative who has not taken
the oath of allegiance to the United States.
Ninth. When superintendents in actual possession decline to take
the oath, some competent person shall be appointed as receiver of the
road, who shall administer its affairs and account for its receipts to
the board of directors, who may be formally recognized as the legal
and loyal board of managers; the receiver to be appointed by the
Treasury Department, as in the case of abandoned property.
I am, sir, very respectfully, your obedient servant,
