The Bounty LAND LAw-The failure at tho late
session OF Congress to pass the resolution authorz
ing the sale Of bounty land certificates before the
actual location of the land has produced much dis
appointment among the old soldiers, who expected
to realize something from the liberality Of their
country. The certificates, without the power 10
sell before location, will be almost useless in their
hands The law has boen interpreted against their
right TO sel but, it is understood that this inter-
probation was given in consequence Of the vote
given in Congress at the time of the passage OF tho
act, against inserting express recognition of the
right to SELL the hope indulged that the Secretary
of the Interior will bo induced to reverse his dec-
sion, from the consideration that, at tho session OF
Congress which has just closed, the opinion was
general among members that the power todisposc OF
the certificates should be conferred in express terms,
and that the resolution TO that effect woudhave been
passed but for the want of time Weare satisfied that
such reversal by the Secretary would be approved by
Congress and by the country. The object in pass
ing the bounty land bill was that the recipients of
the bounty should be benefited; hut, the law has
been interpreted, that object has been so far de-
located, but who viii give any thing like their
lue for warrants unless tho lands could be located
in body As to settling the land, il is out OF
the question for old soldiers to do it. Not one in
thousand would even think of removing to a small
tract of land in Distant State Territory. And,
besides, many of the recipients of the bounty arc
widows, in ncccssitous circumstances, who, II they
cannot dispose their right TO select the land might
as well not have had il voted to them. We hope
that the Secretary of the Interior will take hs mat
ter into consideration; and, If he have the power,
will grant relief in the promises.

Local Matters.

Dlsrnrcr Counr.--Thc Travcrs will case was yes
tcrday decided.
Mr.. Nicholas Travcrs was an old citizen Of Wash
ington, and died here about eighteen months or
two years ago. His fortune has been variously
tmated at from one to two hundred thousand dol
lars. He left four and three daughters,
and by his will bequeathed the bulk of his for
tune to his sons, to the exclusion Of his daugh-
tcrs. Since his death, his Nicholas died
married, and we believe his share will be equally
distributed among the six surviving brothers and
sisters. But Mary Travers, wife of DR.. James
Wynn, Sidney Travcrs, wife of Mr.. William Nit
clell, and Elizabeth Travcrs, who is unmarried,
all Of them excluded from inheritance by the will
of their father, with the husbands of the former
two, were the caveators desiring to set aside the
will. In this, however, they have failed, and
jury has sustained it., and the interests of tho
brothers, Joseph, Elias, and James Tarvcrs.

The case grew out Of the expedition, some thirty

There were three suits taken up 10 the court Of
