MEMORIAL.

To the Senate and House Of Representatives. ofth'
United States ia Congress assembled: The memo
rial of the undersigned respectfully represents thai
they are entitled to Bounty Lund, under the ao
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 they do not expect or desire to reside on the
land thus granted; that Il patented to them, the
expense of agencies and taxes will be an animal
change, reducing the value of the grant, which
they could avoid if permitted to sell the warrant
Your memorlalists further represent that the law,
by preventing the sale of the warrants, assumei
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
lgent and respectable citizens Of the States, They
therefore respectfully ask that the act aforesaid
may be so modified to make the warrants for
bounty lands assignable, and they will ever
pray, &c.
