HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,.
February 7.
BOUNTY LANDS.

The committee took up the bill further
to regulate the issuing Of Patents for
soldiers bounty lands.
Mr.. Cook, of Illinois, said he would
not detain the committee by entering in
to so full a discussion of the merits Of
the bill, as its Importance really entitled
it to, but would content himself with
stating the leading considerations which
induced the committee, of which he was
member, to report it to the House.
He said the number Of soldiers who had
already received their bounty land, was
estimated at about 10000, and those who
had not, were estimated at about 2 ,OOO
1t was for the latter class only that the
bill was intended to operate. He said
the quantity of land necessary to satisfy
these claims was 1867, $50 acres, which,
estimated at the minimum price of the
public lands, was worth S4,2oe,45o.
He said the bill proposed issuing to each
soldier, who chose to accept the alterna-
tive, certificate, to be receivable in
payment for public land, for SloO, in
lieu of each lot of l6o acres. In every
case, or nearly so, he believed the soldier
would prefer the scrip to the land, be-
cause the land itself would not COM
mand half that sum, and supposing that
to be the case, he said the government
would save one half Of the amount he
had just stated, viz: S2,lO4,775, saw
ing that exceeded any that had been pro-
posed by any proposition of retrench-
ment, yet brought before the house.
This saving, he said, would certainly
be realized, because those lands were
the choice lands ofthe districts in which
they were situated-'hey were so be-
cause they were by law required to be
Aand fir for cultivation, the bad land was

eligible for the purpose contemplated, il
Is conceived by the committee, consti-
'utes an exception to the otherwise gene
raj effect OF the compacl-a compact
which, without such exception, could not
be revoked without the mutual consent
OF the state, in its constitutional charac-
ter, and ofth United States.
Adopting this as the correct view of
the subject, the committee conceive the
state was authorized to select the six
teenth section for the purpose TO which
1t IS applied; and, as the grant OF these
Jour sections is grant in addition to the
grants previously made to the state, they
are also OF opinion that it is right to
authorize the state to make selection
oil another section, within the same town
ship, Tor the use OF the inhabitants there
OF, In lieu OF the section aforesaid, which.
under such previous grant, would have
been applied to that use. They report
bill accordingly.

OF Government OF the state of Illinois, and
for other purposes.
BE 1t enacted by the Senate and House
81 Representatives. ofthe United States
Of Hmerica, in Congress assembled.

pointed for that purpose for the seat of

and the same are hereby declared to be,
confirmed to, and vested in, the said
state, for the purpose aforesaid.
Sec. 2. ind be it further enacted,
That the governor of said state be, and
he is hereby, authorized to select any I'M
section in said township,
