DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR,
Washington, April 90, 1856


SIR-In view Of the large number of boun-
ty land warrants about to be issued by this
department under recent law Of Congress
granting additional bounty land for military
services, and the tendency to speculation
which will thereby be engendered, ! deem it
proper to admonish the officers and agents Of
this department Of the improperly OF their
becoming interested in any such traffic.
Dealing in land warrants or scrip by off,
GERS of the general government, whose
official position give them advantages over
private citizens--and few, if any occupy posi-.
tons which do not, to greater or less degree
afford peculiar previliges and offer cores
pondng temptations-it is an obvious abuse
of official station; and even when the officers
possesses no such unusual facilities, the sus.
picon of neglect of duty which private spec.
ulation naturally excites in the public mind
tends to destroy that confidence which il
should be the ambition OF every officer to
command.
While the practice, thus deprecated, may
not be generally and expressly inhibited by
the strict letter of the law, it is in the estima
ton of the department, manifestly incon-
sistent with its spirit as it is improper; and
with these views on the subject, il is hoped
and expected that no officer or other en-
ployee of this department, OF whatever grade
will engage in a pursuit which cannot fail tc
bring odium upon himself and the govern
ment he represents; and none who do will
have cause Of surprise to complaint at with
drawal from them Of the confidence which
induced their appointments.
| You are requested to inform the depart
ment of the date of the receipt by you Of Thu
circular. Respectfully, &C., &C.,
r. McCLELLAND,
Il Secretary of the Interior.
