adverse locations. il here accompanied by his
counsel. the Hon. Mr. Buel. of Detroit. probs-
bly, concerning this case. Attorney General
Hale, of Michigan, is also in Washington, rs
well as the Hon. e. W. Whipple, who was
Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Micbi-
gan for the first nine years after her admis-
sion as State, and is at present a Judge of
| the Superior Court there. 1t strikes Us that
the effort to procure change OF the Secre
| tary's decision in the case above referred TO,
can hardly prove successful, in view of the
fact that that functionary, coming direct from
the Governorship of Michigan may be sup
posed to have been thoroughly informed upon
all the questions involved, ere taking the mat
ter in hand. 1t is subject of great impor-
tance indeed, to all the States and people in
tercsted in the speedy and proper completion
of the Sault Ste Marie canal
We may add, that the main roin. in issue in
this canal-landS case, seems to us to be
follows, viz The law authorized and directed
the company through an agent to reserve such
| lands a. they desired to take up I'm Ter its pro-
visions. The company, through the Receiver
there at the time, (Mr. Brown did file list
in the Land Office, designating what lands
| they desired 10 have reserved Subsequently
Mr.. B. withdrew the list, af er which other
parties entered the lands so reserved. The
land Office decided, that having once filed the
list, Mr.. Brown was f""ctNs oGfcio 50 far as
his agency for the company was concerned );
and that the subsequent withdrawal being an
illegal procedure, the canal company could
not lose their rights to tie land in question
by his illegal act. Tho adverse claimants,
however, contend now that they have further
important testimony which puts a different
aspect on the case; and upon that they ask
the Secretary of the Interior to review his
| decision.
