PEORIA LOTS IN ILLINOIS.


On motion OF Mr.. Golden, with view
to allowing to tho gentleman who wish
ed ii an opportunity for the further con.
sidera,ion of the subject, the House de.
tcrmincd to &c. consider the vote by
which the bill, confirming claims to lois
in the village of Peoria, was rejected.
The bill being thus again 5roush. be.
fore the House
The debate upon its merits was re-
suned, al greater length than yesterday,
and with increased interest.
This seems to be the proper place to
notice the principal objection yesterday
taken by Mr.. Rankin to the bill, over
looked in our account Of the Debate. II
was this: that the grants were proposed
TO be made, in this case, not merely to
settlers previous to 1888, but to settlers
as lar up as the year 1878, involving in
this respect, principal never heretofore
recognized by our laws.
MIR. Wright supported the bill in
speech of some length, in which he
maintained that the right derived from
occupation IS in some respects divine
right, and the right ofthese individuals
was Of such a character as had, almost
as little right to take from them as i, had
TO take the lands from the Indians with.
out their consent.
Mr.. Vance qnoted the Ordinance Of
1887, to shew, as he con.endee, that
these individuals had right to confr-
nation of their claims independent OF
considerations Of grace, good will, or
generosity.
Mr.. Cooke expressed his regret that
the bill had been again brought belore
the House, TO which he WAS not less OPP
posed to-day than he was yesterday. II
the people have legal right, as now
commended, to the lends on which they
are settled, it is in itself an argument
against the bill, and not in its favor, be-
cause making ii unnecessary.
Mr.. Jennings rose, TO move recon.
milment Of the bill to the Committee Of
Public Lands. lie thought these pco-
pie had a certain claim on the govern.
ment, but no, to the extent of this bill.
He was not willing 70 recognize the IT,
ties OF settlers so fax down as the year
1873.
Mr.. Hardin, Of Kentucky, was in ia.
vor OF the recommi.ment OF the hill, de.
livcrng at length his reasons against
the bill as it now stood, on the same
grounds as were yesterday assumed
against it.
Mr.. Uoodson, of Kentucky, delivered
his sentiments, also at length, in favor
of this bill, and Of the general policy of
granting lands to the earlier settlers or
the remote borders Of the country, among
the Indians, &c. 10 whose hardihood and
enterprise The settlement OF the iairest
portion OF our country is owing. He
dwelt, too, on the superiority Of tho
equitable claim OF these settlers over
the Claim ofthe man, who, with floating
title, was attempting to disposess them
OF their humble cabins and the little i'm.
provements which constitute their all,
Mr.. Rankin supported the rccommisJ
mcnt Of the bill, If the House was diI
posed to pass it. He adyer!ed to III
