lieved the trust involved had been grossly vi
olated, and gave notice of an amendm ent that
the money received out of the reserved sec
tons shall be paid to the States who receive
no lands for internal Improvements.

proposing that Government shall retain the
lands proposed to be granted, and issue pa
tents therefor, as twenty miles Of the road
from time to time shall be finished, and on
its completion the title to the lands shall be
vested in the territory. He explained the pro-
position.
