My attention is just called to it. My impression is that this law remained only two or three years in force and was dropped out. probably repealed in an appropriation bill. or at any rate there were no appropriations made after. I think. 1866. or somewhere along there. for the Commissioner of Immigration and the officers created under the law. Beause we resorted to measures of this kind justifiable in war it is not therefore to be inferred that we approve them as measures of peace. We have repealedthewhole class of war legislation one act after another. in many cases by mere implication.
