MEMORIAL.

To The Senate and House Of Representatives. ofihe
United States in Congress assembled; The memo.
rial of the undersigned, respectfully represents that
thew are entitled to Bounty Land, under tho act
of 18th Of September, 1880, that they are informed
and believe that the INDICATED warrants are worth
more to them than the patented lands would be,
that thew do not expect or desire to reside on the
land thus granted, that If patented to them, the
expense of agencies and taxes will be an annual
charge, reducing the value of the grant, which
they could avoid if permitted TO. sell the warrant
Your memoriaists further represent that the law,
by preventing the sale Of the warrants, assun e.
that the officers and volunteers entitled to bounty
lands, are not competent to act for themselves,
whereas many Of them are among the most intel
ligent and respectable citizens Of the States. They
therefore respectfully ask that the act aforesaid
may he so modified as to make the warrants for
bounty lands assgnable, and they will ever
pray, &c.
