REFORM.
| Cur readers will remember, that we have annoru-
ced the removal OF Jesse Spencer, Esq (ouc of BIr
Jeherson's appoin. ntsl from the Mace of REGISTER
OF the Land Office at Chilcotlc, and the appointment
OF Thomas Scott IN his room. The editor Of the Sci
ota Gazette, in giving the proceedings of Mr.. Scott
since his appointment, relates that his commission
was sent to the Receiver. 70 be given up when Mr.
Scott should Tile bond for 900, With good seen
ilty iur the faithful dischar Of the duties Of his Of
hcethc sufiicency of he security hc certified BY
the District Judge. Mr.. Scott procured bond to be
executed by "tVo irresponsible iruiri1,dls ITO usc
the language of the Gazcttcl whose property Jointly
and sevcrally, would not purcase the pape on ,pbic
the bond ircS UriHep," Upon presenting this bond
TO Judge Campbell, for his certificate he was not
wiling, us he had not received his conInsSiun 20 rive
any other than informal statement that he would
approve the securities, if authorised TO certify On
this, with knowledge ofthe insufciuncy oftbe scc1
ri,v, the Receiver refused to deliver to Mr. Scott his
commission. .Undcr this state OF things. (savs the
GsZettc) the oicp must renmin closet az has al
ready been for the last four weeks, until the Kepls
ter either gives other or better security winch we
confdcutly believe he cannot DO or until the presl-
dent shall appoint some other person in his pace
While this attempt at imposition is praeticng for the
sake of Reform, the public suffer ercnt inccnye
nIence. We furbear comment.
Once Writing the above we rece; wed the SCioia
Gnzette OF the 18th inst. which contains the following
additional particulars,

suffering greatly, by the failure of the new Register
to procure legal security for the faithful performance
OF his Official duties; in conseq ence of which the
Land Once here has been shut for the last fee toeesl
The folly OF tie President in removing Mr. Spencer
! to make way t1r u needy and noisy deina guGne is
now JeH by every man having business 10 transact in
/ the Land Otite throughout the district.
Congress ring rei'ised at their last session. to ex-
tend the relief laws. so called the creH sse., will
DO closed on tie Sd July nex-a little more than SIX
ty days h"nce--whcn all lands that NAV then re-
main unpaid for, will be forfeited TO the United States
The appointment of Jadge Scott has had the effect to
throw barrier between the purchaser and tho Cor
eminent, which prevents HIM from making payment:
and which WILL if 1t be not removed, compel him TO
stand by and see his home forfeited To the United
States, with the money N his hand to pay for it.
We know that Judge Scott is yet holding ont rho
idea 10 the public, that Judge Campbell viii .,rfi
tue securities which he has offered, be solvent and
satisfactory, 80 soon al hereceves his commission
District Judge. But, if Judge C. shall do go uiinr
the representations which have been made 10 him bo
VIII subjcc, himself TO i0p.nckneat TO- nfaversation
IN Office. We therefore, take il upon Nc to raw that
Jnlge Campbell will not thus certify. Tho o1,ly al
formative then Which presents itself in this state of
the case, to tie Recerod icumbent is to either pro-
cure snch security as shall be unQues.i1naSy solvent
or brck OM!
Tho Sciota Gazette adds as
"THe Fruits If Ilcform,--A man this week called
from Licking county to this pacc-a distnnce Of egh-
D:jtre miieS--to enter piece Of land. Whom he ar
rived hcre, the new Register informed him, that
Judge Campbell had MT yet certified bis securities
to be worth ten thousand dollars aud consequently
