i Swans STATUTES ooFr OH1o.--- The
House Of Representatives, by an almost
unanimous vote, passed the bill for the
purchase Of Swans Statutes Of Ohio.--
The bill having previously passed the
Senate, with bu! one dissenting vote, il
is now the Law Of the land. 81.
During the pendency of the bill in the
two branches, quite book, war was gol
up between the friends Of Curwen and oI
Swan, zach Of whom having colIated stat.

slalure for purchase aud adoption. We
think the decision made is rigbteou:
one. The form Of Swans is thai adopt,
ed in the publication Of the old statutes
and is familiar TO the Justices and otheI
officers, for whom II is purchased. IL,
correctness was tested in the severes
IImanner, and was found moi wanting

Dear Sir:- -On the receipt Of your
letter, OF the 2slh March, | made en-,
quiriss a, the General Land Office for
information relative TO the action Of shat
Office and the authorities Of Ohio, under
the act Of 3lsi. August, 1852, and found
that A. yet nothing had been done. 5aog
Tho Commissioner Of the General
Land Office, the Hon. John Wilson, one
Of the most efficient officers connected
with the government, assured me that he
would Immediately furnish a s'alementof
the amount Of land the State was ent-
tied 10 under tho provisions Of the Act
referred to, showing the excess over and
above that amount which the State had
enormously. selected; SO that the State
authorities could take such action in tbe
premises as would protect the rights Of
the persons 10 whom she had sold.
Under the circumstances il would be
utterly impossible for the State TO SUR
render any portion Of the land selected
and included in List No. z, because
nearly no, quite, all has been sold and
occupied for long time, and the author
tiles must therefore ask Congress 10
make an additional donation Of the
o,419 ~ 100 excess. .ias9R a
Twas supposed at the time Of the
passage of the Act Of August 81, 1852,
that the act would enable the General
Hand Office to confirm 10 the State all Of
the land in List No. 7,-but asihis seems
to be otherwise, /. will be necessary, 10
