resolution of the House of Representatives. adopted on the
lh instant by which the Secretary OF the Interior is
called upon to report what have been taken 10
sece the provisions of the graduate and reduce
the price of the fubc lands to actual settlers and euva
tors approved August 1854, and what further legis
aon If any is necessary to secure the opecs ana iuly
carry out the provisions OF said act"
have therefore TO report that instruconscopy here
itbhave been addressed by this office TO the registers
and receivers requiring them to make call upon persons
who have made entries for settlement and cultivation
nndcr said act produce proof within two months from
the date of notice TO them showing that set ement and
cultivation have actually been made, and notifying them
that default Of such showing will be treated aban
doument Of the claim.
This Office has however reserved the right TO extend the
time in all cases where adayis may be produced that the
entries were made in good faith that the purchasers have
been prevented by fortutous circumstances from pcrecung
the same and specifying the further time IN reasonable
limits within which proof of their rights will be furnished
In all cases of this class it is proposed to extend the

requisite proof and thus afford ample opportunity for the
consummation of every bona de entry dnder said act
Ii is submitted that the only further legislation that
would seem expedient is TO r by lac the period within
which the proof shall eproduced declaring in the statute
that mpianee within that period shall be forfeit

10 dispense with the requisiten Of proof altogether and
that an enactment would be necessary to that effect
to this office in carrying such entries into patent

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR,

....g.s.e. .aa.... a..0a March Is, 1856.
SIR have the honor in reply to the resolution of the
House of of the 1th inst, calling for
port as to what had been taken execute the
provisions of the Act to graduate and reduce the price OF
the public lands to actual settlers and cuvators approved
August 1864 and what further legislation If any is me-
cessary to secure the objects and fully carry out the prov
ions OF said act enclose herewith reply from the Com
missioner Of the General Land Office dated the 18th nst
letter submitting to him copy Of said resolution
As the time for compliance with the spirit OF the law
left nde6nte the only plan to separate the speculative
entries from those made by bona de claimants To re-
quire the exhibition, within reasonable period Of some
the part of the purchaser tending TO evidence his
declared intention to settle upon and cultivate the land en-
tered appeared not to be unreasonable in cases where
the land furnished at reduced price and because OF
such proposed settlement and cultivation thereof that some
fixed period should be prescbedbearing some relation
TO that which the law in relation TO presumption exaeted OF
those who in addition to the full price Of the land
required furnish proof Of settlement &c6ore they
allowed to enter it.
My opinion is that il would be well for Congress
to fix limit by law within which the fact of settlement
and cultivation should be shown where it has not already
been DONE only with regard TO the entries which have
been made but as TO those which may hereafter be made
and that the limit should not be less than year Many
of the claimants doubt poor and perhaps OBJ
tain the necessary to make the settlement designed
In short time after entry. That period OF time would
seem to be ample; and ordinary pre-empors land
subject TO private entry allowed year after settlement
TO make ment for their lands objection could
ably be made TO the allowance those who have already
made, who should hereafter make immediate pay ment,
the like period iLn which to consummae the settlement
and cultivation intended when the land was purchased
and which formed the basis Of its legal allowance
Such course too whilst liberal to the real settler, to
those who had bona fde intention under the law would
eaecuay exclude oil those purchasers who made the
letter OF the act subservient 10 their speculation.
With much respect your obodient servant
