1t having been alleged to the general land

them to state when they design making the set
Element under it, we have to say, that under
the construction which the secretary Of the in
terror and commissioner of the general land
office put on the law in question, no such swind-
ling entries will be patented. The construction
of the act, which these authorities announce is
that the reduction of price is to operate only in
favor of three classes Of persons:
Flrst-To persons who are actual settlers and
occupants at the time of the enactment Of the
law, or such as hereafter may become such set
tiers, and who may be entitled to presumption.
second-To persons who. desire the same

where the land is desired for the immediate use
OF that particular person as farm for himself
and family, and for no other use and purpose,

Third-To persons who already occupy or
own land previously acquired, who may be de-

NEGRO THIEF.-Week before last, we men.
toned says the Alexandria Republican that a
white man had taken off one of DIR. Seip's ne
groes. Two of our citizens, Messrs F. G. HAY
ME and D. W. Shaw, went after him, and over
took him in Union county, Arkansas, near
Pigeon hollow. He had the negro still in his
possession, and had attempted to hire him at
several places on the road. His name is Law
renee VIM, he belongs to Arkansas, and has
respectable connexions there, to some Of whom
the gentlemen above named are indebted for
their active assistance in ferreting him out.
When they came up to him, he made no efforts
whatever to excu!pate himself, and voluntarily
returned with them here. He was in default Of
bail, committed to prison, and the negro was re-
turned to his owner -s. .-,-..-...0
