BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
A PROCLAMATION.
Whereas by my proclamations of the 13th and 24th of June, 1865, removing
restrictions, in part, upon internal, domestic, and coastwise
intercourse and trade with those States recently declared in
insurrection, certain articles were excepted from the effect of said
proclamations as contraband of war; and
Whereas the necessity for restricting trade in said articles has now in
a great measure ceased:
It is hereby ordered that on and after the 1st day of September, 1865.
all restrictions aforesaid be removed, so that the articles declared by
the said proclamations to be contraband of war may be imported into and
sold in said States, subject only to such regulations as the Secretary
of the Treasury may prescribe.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of
the United States to be affixed.

of the writ of _habeas corpus_ should be made effectual in Kentucky
and that martial law should be established there and continue until said
proclamation should be revoked or modified; and
Whereas since then the danger from insurgent raids into Kentucky has
substantially passed away:
Now, therefore, be it known that I, Andrew Johnson, President of the
United States, by
