The Secretary says that under the various acts of
Congress of 1871 80, 81 and So, there have been
issued 5l6,75S bounty land warrants requiring 55,-
73 500 acres of the public domain to satisfy them
OF these 4lGG32 had been located to the Both Sep
TENDER last on "A 23S $50 acres of land leaving out
standing 100,l36 warrants, calling for IL 493 $50
acres OF land.
1t is confidently expected that during the next cal
endar year the receipts from the sales of the public
lands, and the quantities sold and located will be
greatly increased. 1t is estimated that without some
detrimental change in our system, the income from
this source will reach at least S. 100000.
1t is now satisfactorily ascertained that mines of
the precious metals to be found in the Territories
Of Washington, Oregon, New Mexico and Kansas,
and the time has arrived for the Government Of the
United States to adopt some definite policy as to its
mineral lands
The Secretary, therefore, submits whether it would
be wise and sound policy at this time to pass gen
era law, reserYDg all aurerOus silver and cinnabar
mines from sale, to. the use and occupancy Of the
people of the United States, under such regulations
as Congress may prescribe, and leaving those lands
containing copper, IRON lead and coal subject to the
ordinary laws Of settlement and sale Tor their deVe
opment. The extent of these deties estimate, and
gives assurance to our people, in the future OF IN
bounded wealth.
Peace and quiet has been restored to Utah, and
some additional legislation will be required to place
It's inhabitants on an equality with those oil the Othel
Territories. In that Territory there are already more
than t@D millions acres returned as surveyed anC
ready for market Occupants are upon those land
aud want to obtain titles to their homes. He there
fore submits whether it would not be act OF nstic
to the people OF Utah to establish in that Territory
land office, and at the same time, in express terms
/ extend the presumption laws so as to embrace all tn
/ inhabitants residing within its limits.
The graduation law will continue to prove fruit
ful s6rce of fraud and annoyance unless some chang
is made in its terms. Congress should require proc
of settlement and cultivation prior to the admissio
and entry or should release the purchaser from tn
conditions now imposed

Report of the Commissioner of the Genera
-...- Land Office,

This report covers period of five quarters ending
September 30, 1853 During that period there were
surveyed of the public lands Is 209976 acres, which,
with former surveys, make quantity of 81 ,95l ,O4G
acres Of the public lands surveyed and ready for
market on the Goth Of September, 1868, which had
never been offered at public sale During the same
period there were sold for cash 8O49I9 acres, from
1854, 1872 was realized. Located with the military
land warrants So 933 no. and reported under swamp
land grants 81 4OI 565 making aggregate Of cash
sales. land warrants locations and swamp selections
of 5l3 1884.
The cash realized seems disproportioDate to the
quantity OF lands Sold but this is accounted for by
the very large sales at reduced prices under the
graduation law Of August 4th, 1854 Under the acts
of ls49 and 1850, granting the swamp and over
flowed lands to the district in which they situated
there have been selected and reported to the General
Land Office 55 ,l25 ,492 acres, upon which warrants
having the effect of patents for 36 096 828
acres
The Commissioner recommends amendments to the
presumption laws, with view to uniformity in the
system, and to settled disputed rights and to term
nate controversy in ltigated cases.

has been invested in stocks Of various States and the
United states the remainder VIZ: 70sS 407 is re-
tanned in the Treasury, and the interest thereon an
nuaiy appropriated by Congress. The Commissioner
thinks it worthy Of consideration whether it will not
be advisable when the National Treasury shall lie In
a condition to admit Of it, also TO invest the above
amount of s7Oss ,4O7 in like manner with the other
Indian trust funds.
The Commissioner points out three fatal errors
which have marked our policy towards the Indians
from the very beginning, viz: lst, Their removal
from place to place our population advances ; Cd,
The assignment of too great extent Of territory TO
be held by them in common Sd, The allowance of
large sums of money as annuities.
He recommends that the tribes should be perma-
neny located upon reservations embracing not more
than is necessary for actual occupancy 70 divide the
land among them in severalty; to require that they
should live upon and cultivate the land thus assigned
to give them in lieu Of money annuities, stock ami
mails, agricultural implements, mechanic shops, man
nal labor schools, etc. He recommends the ratlhca
ton Of the treaties made in 1855, with the Indians
Of Washington and Oregon Territories, as means Of
preventing the recnrrenCy Of hostites. He gives a
general statement Of the condition OF the Indians
and calls attention to the urgent necessity for com
plete and thorough revision of the laws relating to
Indian affairs.

the effort had been abandoned. We we're

Judge Wilmot's offence consists mainly
in being an ardent Republican, and especi

political offence, merely, and for that be !
to be punished. There is no allegation
