Another recommendation which ! ieRTn 10 urged

eminent for improvement in the lmpoFis.i

p-:stion fer the purpose Of aSmali portion OF TIT
proceeds Of the pubic lands. snd II IS 10 De ior>o
that tho SUGGESTION will meet the early GEd Svor
| able action Of Congress. The revenue derived

Tie exciten ent is very great growing out oithe
conflicting interests that are 10 work TO prevenl
the organization ofthe House save upon sectional
