Commissioner.

The above decision or construction of
law by Mr.. HENDRICKS to B. +, LUSH
BAUeH, ESQ, of this city, we were by the
kindness of Mr. L. permitted TO publish
last week for the benefit Of our readers.
We give it place again this week that 1T
may be universally read by settlers IN this
District. As we then said, 1t Is o
THE LAW, or rather the EDICT, by which
all are to be governed for the time being;
and we may as well. like obedient sub
iects," submit as good huhoredly and
~contentedly as circumstances will admit,
We don't see that anything IS to be gain
ed by any other course.
We have read and re-read all the law
we could get hold of on the subject Of the
public lands; we have e~ndeavored to stu
dy the spirit and intent Of what is known
as the "Pre-emption Laws;'-to ascer-
tain, if possible, what was the object sought
to be accomplished by the passage Of that
Act; if its originators desired to benefit
any class of people or not; in short, what
it all means? For the life of US, we have
been unable to come to any other conclu-
sions than those frequently expressed
heretofore and we have found nothing
Mr.. Hendricks decision to the contrary
notwithstanding-to change those OPT
mons. Our opinions coincide with the
great mass Of others with whom we have
conversed upon this matter. Yet, this all
all amounts to Just nothing at all when
the "powers that be" decide against as.
While we submit with as good grace as
possible, and advise all others to do the
same, we shall always think that there
has been a triaing with the people; a ruth
less trampling under foot of their rights;
a holding out of false inducements for
emigration; an Unprecedented action in
regard to the disposal Of the public lands;
d1 ulutCCSSdlN uACuLISu 4OI' "Lu O"'I"
geous oppression of the actual settlers;
an immovable incubus placed upon the
future prosperity and d~evelopement Of
Nebraska, and an unwarrantcd construc-
ton placed upon the law by the Commits
sioner-insUH aided to injury.
As before said, this decision of the
Commissioner is THE LAW governing
land matters, and there IS now but one
course left for settlers to pursue, and that
is to secure their lands as best they can
before the day of sales. However dis
posed our Land Officers might be to ac-
commodate and relieve the settlers, Hey
also have but one course to pursue, and
that is to obey the edict Of their superior
In office.

Sir:-In reply to yours Of 10Th July
ult., l have to inform you that the i'm
preston which you say prevails in your
community, that settlers who have here
tofore filed for lands, under the pre-emp-
ton law of 1S41, may neglect to make
proof and payment before the day Of pub
lie sale, and afterwards secure the same
lands under that law, as offered lands, is
erroneous. The 18th section Of the Act
of 1854, subjecting the public lands in
Kansas and Nebraska to the operations Of
the act of 1871, expressly provides that
persons claiming lands under said act,
failing to file the legal notice cor to pay
for the tracts claimed before the day fixed
for the public sale of the lands by the
proclamation of the President of the
United States shall forfeit all right
thereto.
Besides this, if anyperson have filed a
declaratory statement for a tract Of land,
and by his own laches shall suffer his
right thereto 10 lapse to the government,
and such notice was filed subsequent to
the date of the enclosed circular, viz: Sd
December 1856, he cannot again here
after file for that or any other public land.
Very respectfully, sc: =

Mr.. I. B. Hildebrand, of Iowa, on
Saturday formed the acquaintance OF a
young man who gave his name as Rob-
ert Stokes, whom he met upon a boat.
Mr.. Stokes was we'll dressed and was
the possessor of very fine looking
watch, and quite bright, together with
a massive chain that dangied gracefully
across his plaid wooden vest. But he
seemed to be in great tribulation about
something, nervously walking the deck,
biting his lips, and manitesting divers
other symptoms Of superlativc wretch
cdness. Mr.. II. watched the young
gcntleman's movements quite concern
eddy for some moments, and Stokes
thinking from the sympathetic look
upon the innocent features of the other,
that he would be proper person into
whose car to pour the melancholy tale
Of his terrible dist. ess, approached him.
He told him that himself and mother
were DESTROYS OF leaving Immediately
for Paducah, where they had just lear
ned that his sister was lying on her
death bed. This unexpected intclli-
gence quite intcrfered with the arrange
ments of himself and mother, az they
were here on business relating TO
money matters, which had not yet
been settled. During their stay at the
Monroe House they had contracted
small bill of, say 1922, and the unfeeling
landlord was unwilling that their trunks
should leave the house until it was paid.
1t seemed like he could meet no SYM
patty anywhere, for the captain of the
boat whom he had come down to see.
though willing to trust them for their
passage until their arrival at Paducah,
was not prepared to advance them
money to liquidate the aforesaid little
account for board. He really did not
know what to do-and he stamped
vehemently, and uttered a faint ejacu-
lation which sounded like psalm or
damn, or something Of that sort.
Mr.. Hildebrand was much moved at
the pathetic story. He told the young
man to cheer up, but did not offer to
assist him, until Mr.. Stokes had a
bright thought flash across his obscur-
cd mental vision. Producing his watch
and unclasping it from the massive
chain, he actually offered to sacrifice it
for the paltry $22, though it was worth
1885, at Wholesale. The idea of doing
a charitable deed for another, and at
the same time striking an excellent
bargain for himself was too much for
the conscientious Mr.. Hildebrand, and
pulling out his purse with a patronizing
air, gave the money and took the
watch. Young Stokes fastened to re-
claim the trunks from the avaricious
grasp Of the heartless landlord and
was seen no more.
+. S.-Since the above was in type,
We learn that the intrinsic value Of the
beautifully chased gold watch is about
95 cents and accordingly, then, there
was very little sacrifice attending the
disposal of it on the part of Mr.. Stokes.
We once heard Of similar case.-Ss.
