sent. For the purpose of paying the ex,
pense of the purchase of lands and the res

as Congress may from time to time direct,
arising out of the sales of the property for
merry owned by rebels, and which shall
have been coniscated to the use of the Uni.
ted States.
The other sections mainly relate to the
machinery by which the provisions OF the
bill are to be enforced.
