The Presumption Right.

The House Committee on Public Lands
have presented an important substitute for the
bill passed by the Senate to protect the interests
Of squatters on the Menomonee lands in the
aorth Of Wisconsin. The Senate bill merely
secures the right of presumption to settlers on
the Menomonee purchase, who took possession
of location prior to the removal of the Indians
and the survey by Government officers. The
House committee propose to give the same bene-
lit to all new States, by providing that the right
Of presumption shall extend to all unsurveyed
lands the Indian title to which has been extin-
gushed. Hitherto the right has been limited to
surveyed lands; and the extension contem
plated BY the committee is regarded in some
quarters as another material alteration of
the policy regulating the public lands. 1t
was objected to on this ground by several
IF the members who took part in the de
bate on Tuesday. They contend that the
interests Of the country require that the process
Of settlement should as far as possible be concen-
trated, not scattered over an almost illimitable
territory. The truth is, however, that the
tendency to diffusion already eIists-that it
has gone on, and will continue, notwithstand
ing the absence Of formal recognition by the
aw-and that the effect Of the proposed sub
stitute will in reality amount to little more
than the legal acknowledgment Of rights &C
Iuired under the prevailing practice. Every
person familiar with the circumstances that
control the character Of frontier settlements
must be aware that the practice cannot be
wholly prevented without resort to means not
justified by the occasion; and it is not difficult
10 imagine many plausible reasons in support
If measure designed to meet requirements
growing out Of what the restless, enterprising
and hardy settlers on the frontier are apt to
regard as a social necessity.

We are informed that the vacancy in the
office of Second Assistant Postmaster General,
occasioned' by the resignation Of FIrz Henry
WARREN, esq, has been filled temporarily by
the appointment of WILLIAM II. DUNDAs, esq.,,
who is very generally known in our communi-
ty, and by persons throughout the country who
have been connected with the Post Office De-
partment, as faithful officer and an estimable
gentleman. Mr.. DUNDAs has won his way up
from clerkship of the lowest grade by his
ability and devotion to his duties. He was
long connected with the Contract Office as its
principal clerk, aud for several years past has
held the important office of chief clerk of the
Department.
The chief clerkship made vacant by the ap-
poiniment of Mr.. DuNDAs has been in the same
manner filled by the promotion of Thomas p.
TRoTT, esq.,. who has been some years in the
service OF the Department, and for two OF three
years has held the appointment Of principal
clerk Of the Inspection Office.

but one who Processes to he WING who was

no doubt that at least nincteen-twentieths of the

Mr.. wrssTrn's QUoraTios. Some persons have
expressed surprise that Mr. Webster, in his Faneul
Hall speech Of Saturday, should have attributed to
johnson the lines
"How small Of all that human hearts endure,
That part which kings or laws can cause cure;'
which lines are found In Goldsmiih's poem of the
Traveller.
The following passage from Boswell's Life Of
johnson may throw some light upon the matter.
Boswell, in speaking Of Goldsmith's poem of tho
Traveller, says:
"And here IL Is proper 90 settle, with authentic
precision what has long hoated in public report as
TO Johnson, being himsclf the author Of consider
able part Of that poem. Much, doubt. both Of
the sentiments and expression, were derived from
conversation with him; and II was certainly sub.
mitted to his friendly revision. But in the year

liurs which he had furnished, which are only line
