! we nave not. OF course, yet received q copy
OF this important bill, but from an examination u
the bill as passed the House, together with the
amendments Of the Senate, we have an idea CT
its provisions. as
The first section provides, that each Of the sur
wing commissioned, and non-commissioned oili-
GERS, musicians, or priyates. whether Of reguEss,
volunteers, rangers or militia, whose name has
been returned on muster rolls or in any other Of
cial manner to the War Department as having
performed military service in any regiment, con-
pany or detachment, in the service Of the United
States, in the war with Great Britain, declared by
the United States, on the 18th day of June, 1872,
or IN any of the Indian wars since 1890; and
each Of the surviving commissioned officers who
were engaged IN the military service of the Unit
ed States ia the late war with Mexico, and who
engaged to serve for period of twelve months.
| or more, and who actually served nine months
shall receive one hundred and sixty acres Of land
those who engaged to serve six months, or more
and served four months, shall receive eighty
acres; and those who engaged to serve for any,
or an indefinite period. and served one monfh.
shall receive forty acres asa
The House bill was amended by the Senate 80
as to prevent any assignment or sale of the war
rant, prior to the issuing of the patent or ceri-
cate Of purchase. This amendment, if il was
| concurred In by the House, will compel the SOL
dier 10 locate the land warrant himself, and in his
own name. s-tt
The Senate adopted further amendment pro-.
viding. ''that every person who may be entitled
to the provisions OF this act to receive certificate
or warrant for bounty land, shall be allowed Tho
option, to receive such certificate or warrant or
a money scrip for 500, where the quantity Of
land is 100 acres; $50, where the quantity is so
acres, and S25 where the quantity is 40 acres
said scrip TO bear interest the rate Of per cent
per annun, and redeenlable at the pleasure of the
Government ftt
If these amendments were both concurred in
| by the House, we presume many of those entitled
to the bounty, will choose the scrip rather thar
the warrant, which not being transferable, viii
compel them to locate the land themselves. The
restriction upon trnsfer will also have the effect
to keep up the price of the Mexican bounty land
warrants, which are transferable The billpass-
