To The Senate and House Of Representatives. offhs
United States in Congress assembled; The memo
rial of the undersigned, respectfully represents that
they are entitled to Bounty Land, under the act
Of 18Th Of September, 1850, 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 reside on the
land thus granted; that f patented to them, the
EXPENSE of agencies and taxes will be an annual
charge, reducing the value OF the grant, which
thew could avoid il permitted 10 sell the warrant
Your memoriasts further represent that the law,
by preventing the sale Of the warrants, assume
that the officers and volunteers entitled to bounty
lands. are not competent TO act for themselves,
whereas many Of them are amongthe most intel
lgent and respectable citizens Of the States. They
therefore respectfully ask that the act aforesaid
NAV be so modified as TO make the warrants for
bounty lands assgnable, andethey win ever

To ihs Editor of the, Republic:

To the Editor Of the Republic:
Sin: The discussion you have commenced on the
subject OF Congressional Reporting exctes lively
ism. and will be productive of unmixed good if il
the present system.
do not presume TO trouble you with general re-
marks on subject with which you are necessarily y
familiar. and address you only for the purpose OF
calculating point to which ga Senator" adverted
in your issue Of Monday last.
"A Senator" notices the fact that much Of the
reporting in the Senate is performed by "boys OF
tender age" and he pronounces the arrangement
which permits this an insult to the Senate. Whe-
ther this is the precise word most applicable to the
circunista nee. is point on which offer opin-
the conjecture that such arrangement is fatal to
efficient and Observation-Disclosures reable--re'
porting.
But "a Senator" appears unaware that sub
stantial motive exists for the employment Of boys.
1t is that their services obtainable at prices
which cannot satisfy competent and experienced
men; and, therefore, that the employment Of boys
ins,cad OF men is profitable to the parties who
permitted to "farm out' the reporting. The diff
ference between the pay Of boys and the pay OF
men is converted into clear profit by those for
whom necessity would exist if sound system
were adopted.
submit this fact TO the consideration of the Sen
ate and yourself, and respectfully ask whether il
docs not go far to explain the whole mystery.
