bill last 1t curtailed Of its good properties
by the House. but the Senate restored them in part,
and the House WILL as usual, recede and concur. A
provso was finally inserted limiting the personnel Of

the nomination of Tully R. Wise, as First Auditor,
in place of Jesse Miller, was confirmed. Mr.

To JAMES GORDON BENNETT, ESQ. =
DEAR SIR =
In the letter from the Texan Legation at Wash
ngton, published in the Herald, it is stated for the
benefit of the public 'that all Hands patented by the
Republic OF Texas free from doubt and liti-
CATION as any patented by the Government OF the
United States" Now, sir, this is gross mistake,
and If not corrected, will be the cause OF much evil
We would caution the public against 1t, and espe-
cially against the Government Land Patents OF
Texas They are merely Government quit claims,
and great majority of them are entirely worthless
They are not like the United States patents, which
are always good for the amount of land called for
but are only good where the land specified has been
surveyed and located upon the vacant land of the
Government. In this case, and this only. are they
genuine. In the United States, If a patent issued
by the Government happens to be upon on old grant,
and lnterferes with previous title, the holder may
return ii to the General Land office and obtain pa
tent for the same quantity OF land elsewhere Not
so in Texas. The Government, to escape trouble
In future, issues only quit claim and II the holder
of the patent has located his land upon previous
legal survey, is at his risk and he forfeits his
patent, and loses his land. A vast many patents is
sued are OF this sort, upon old Spanish grants, Mex
grants, and grants from "TeXas and Coahuila,"
most of which grants are good, and will stand
through all revolutions and all time and patents for
them are not worth straw. Therefore we say
again to all who would purchase lands in Texas, and
they are the best investment now to be made in the
South, go to the country and examine the county
records, and see that all is ''far and square, there
oryou may part with your money to no purpose, and
find when il is too late, that you have bought "pig
in poke,' and paid too dear for the whistle. y
Place no confidence nowadays in what is told
you-the days OF confidence are gone. Regard
every patent as much blank paper, till you have
traced it backwards and forwards. If it lies upon
the top of previous grant, have nothing do with
it, or you may entail law suit upon yourself and
posterity forever. There is land enough, and that
which is good-and section of poor land even, free
from all doubt and incumbrances, is worth thou
sand shingled with surveys, and subject to the glo-
rious uncertainty of the law, and everlasting dis
pue.
The prescription law of Texas of November, 1896,
which is five years, has quoted great many land
titles, and those thus confirmed the best which
can now be purchased.
Yours, &c VERIRAs.
