MEMORIAL.
To the Senate and House Of Representatives ofthe
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, 1885, 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 if patented to them, the
expense of agencies and taxes will be an annual
charge, reducing the value of the grant, which
they could avoid if permitted to sell the warrant
Your memorialiss 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 among the most intel
igent 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.

The Mexican Boundary Commission.

Oar readers will find in another column letter al.
dressed TO the editors OF the National Itegencer BY
Hon. James NJ. Mason. senator from Virginia, in reply
10 the report OF the Secretary Of the Interior relating TO
the Mexican boundary commission. We have already
stated our conviction that incompetent commissioner
had assented 10 line which would cause great loss 10
the Uated States and il purpose 10 have pre-.
but finding that il requires space than we can com.
mand, and believing that the public mind is loo much
excited about other Matters defer to more suitable
opportunity the remarks which we wish 10 present We
would. however at this time call especial attention TO
the fact tina, after expending hundreds OF thousands
on the boundary commission the administration is moi
prepared TO say where the initial point OF the line
is Any schooboy could tell where the line should be
but, TO protect ignorant commissioner, the ad.
mnsraon has committed itself far and TO such ex-
remes, that Congress found ii TO be necessary TO make
further appropriations depend upon reasonable fidelity
and skill The administration after sustaining for more
than two years. against the remonstanecs Of scientific
men, the action OF its commissioner at length finds sel
compelled directly 10 meet its responsibility; and
a. matter OF course, it sbrnks from il once and by
shrinking gives constructive verdict against its former
action When the people shall come 10 know the his.
tory of the boundary commission, they will be most
thoroughly convinced Of the corruption and incomre.
tency OF this administration. Al early day we will
this subject and attempt 10 lay before the people
the picture which il presents.

faliag OF the Seward platform Wednesday last in the

the president OF the Seward Scott Association.
Now, do not think there be much OF ques.
lion who caused the fsfhsg OF the platform. and that
the reward should be fO,k,d 10 Col Sherman for
the m ishap on that occasion. No could doubt for
moment but that the oraory and energy displayed by
the distinguished speaker caused on that evening ,he
earth 10 SHAKE much less the rckey platform Of Seward
ism to quake and iremble Mr.. Shernsns speech was
