!. Editor, Of tn. Pioneer and psnoer...

To the Editors Of the Pioneer and Democrat
U. S. LAND Orrics,
Sr. CLorp, March 10, 1889.
In compliance. with your request per letter
Of 9th inst, enclose the following table Of
statistics, which would have been earlier for.
wsrdsd but for unavoidable official and pri.
vate duties.
From this table il will be seen that all
the land entered during the years 1883 and
1856, were sold at private entry whilst
those sold in 1857 and 1858, were pre-
empted. This difference arose from the
fact that the government surveys were push
ell ahead on the East side Of the Mississippi
River, (the Indian title not having been ex-
tinguished TO the land on the West side, and
so soon as completed, and before emigration
had found it's way into this portion Of the
State, the lands were offered OF public sale.
BY this act, 263,445 acres Of the richest
land, lying in a body on the East bank Of
the Mississippi River, passed into the hands
Of non. resident spectators, thereby preclud-
ing the bona fds settlers from partici pa
ton in their riches and the State from their
products.
On the West side Of the Mississippi River,
the surveys we're delayed until after the coun,
try had been discovered by cmigrants and set
Elements commenced. AS these lands on the
west side Of the river have never been offered
at public sale land God grant they may never
be,) the title to these can only be OBJ
tanned by presumption. These are the
lands which were sold during the years 1857
and 1858.
II is true that during the years 1883 and
1856, o small quantity Of land was pre-
empted from the body offered at public sale,
whilst small share OF those marked pre-.
emption in 1857, we're sold at private entry
but not sufficient quantity to deserve a
separate column in the table
