Générai Order« No. 84.
The following order of the President of
the United States in relation to transfer of
abandoned lauds, funds and property set
apart for the ttse of Freedmen, to the
Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen and Aban
doned Lands, is published for the infor
mation and guidance of all concerned :
E XECUTIVE MANGOS, \
Washington, D. C., .Juno 12, 1865. /
Whereat, By an act of Congress, ap
proved March 3, 1865, there was estab
lished in tho War Department a Bureau of
Refugees, Freedmen and Abandoned Lands
And to which, in accordance with the said
act of Congress, is committed the super
vision and management of all abandoned
lauds, aud the control of all subjects re
lating to refugees; and freedmen from re
bel Statos, or frotn any district of country
within the territory embraced in the oper
ations of the army, under such rules and
regulations as may be prescribed by the
bend of the bureau and approved by the
President; aud whereas, it appears that tho
management of abandoned lands, and sub
jects relatiug to refugees andfreedmon, as
aforesaid, have been, and still are, by or
ders based on military exigencies, or leg
islation based on previous statutes, partly
in the hand^of military officers disconnec
ted with «aid bureau, and partly in charge
of officers of tiie Treasury Department ; it
is therefore Ordered, That all officers of
tho Treasury Department, all military of
ficers, and all others in the service of the
United States, turn over to the authorized
officers of said bureau all abandoned lands
and property contemplated in said act of
Congress, approved March 3, 1865, estab
lishing the Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen
and Abandoned Lands, that'may now be
under or within their control. They will
also turn over to such offices all funds
collected by tax or otherwise for tho bene
fit of refugees or freedmen, or accruing
from abandoned lauds or property set
apart for their use, and will transfer to
them all official records connected with the
administration of affair* which pertain to
said bureau.

Rtdempttan of Mutilated Bank Not«!.
The following important circular has
been issued by the Treasury Department :
® Treasury Department, )
Office of the Oomptroller of Currency, V
Washington, D. C. j
The following suggestions are offered
relative to the redemption of mutilated
circulating notes of national banks, and
their return to this office :
First—The notes are to be redeemed by
the banks by which they are respectively
issued, and should not be returned to this
office in sums less than five hundred dol
lars, or in even multiples of that amount.
Second—Mutilated notes which have
been torn or defaced will be received, when
presented by the bank that issued them,
provided all the fragments are returned
and the engraving or signatures are not
so far obliterated that it cannot be deter
mined by what bank the notes were issued.
Third—Fragments should be redeemed
by banks in full when accompanied by an
affidavit stating the case and manner of
mutilation, and that the missing part, of
the note is totally destroyed. The good
vouched for by the officcr before whom the
affidavit is,taken.
These affidavits must be forwarded to
this office, with the fragments to which
they relate, in Order that the banks pre
senting such parts of notes may obtain
crédit for the same.
Exceptional case« may occur in which
no affidavit can be obtained, and where no
reasonable doubts can exist in regard to
the entire destruction or irreparable dam
aget0 mjasing portions of notes—as by
Are, acids, etc—where evidence of identity
is ample by the signature of one or both
_ „ , , ,
officers, or title or locality of the bank,
arid the denomination of the note—where
the integrity of the bill-holder is unexcep
tionable, aud where no question could
ar ise in regard to a fraudulent or improper
use of missing parte; in such instances
judicious discrimination must necessarily
be exercised by the officers of the banks.
It is, however, advised that such notes
be received at their full face value, a per
fect note given therefor, a record being
preserved of the fact, to be sent to this of
fice with the mutilated note when returned
for redemption by the bank, in which case
full credit will be allowed in this depart
ment.
Fourth—When no satisfaction can be
obtained in regard to the missing parts,
and a possibility exists that any improper
use can be made of the same, it is recom
mended that a proportionate value only be
».
allowed, estimating this by comparison of
the proportion returned to the missing
p ar t s A record should be kept of the
amount allowed in all such instances, and
amount allowed in all such instances, and
a Toucher of the same rendered to this of
fice, when the mutilated note or notes shall
be returned for redemption.
