THE BOUNTY LAND Law.

The large majority by which the House of Rep
reseniatives, on Monday, passed joint Resolution
for making Bounty Land Warrants assignable is
an indication that popular sentiment runs in that
way Ii is quite probable the Senate will concur.
There is good deal 10 be said on both sides Of
this question On the one hand the benefciaries
are anxious to realize speedily whatever may be
allotted to them, whilst the other there is danger
that the large number of warrants thrown into the
market will depreciaie the value ofall.
But We should indulge the parties most deeply
interested, whatever may be the result
