As the last part of the order is very comprehensive, I enquire what is to be understood by "other Authority?"  Can it mean to give up everything asked for, proof or no proof, to the old secesh owners or pretended owners whose real estate has been confiscated?  This was done very largely by Genl. Ord, in both personal and real estate, and there is but precious little left.
