The HOMESTEAD BILL.-There seems to
be some misrepresentation in the public mind
concerning the Homestead Bill passed by
the House of Congress. Some assert that
it is a regular vote yourself a farm bin, Civ
ing to every head of family, who il a
citizen, or has declared his inter ton to be-
come such, one hundred and sixty acres
from any unappropriated lands belonging to
the United States, on the simple condition
that he shall make his home upon it and
cultivate it. This is a mistake. The Bill
passed gives settlers upon unsurveyed lands
the right to purchase them at a dollar and
quarter an acre, after they have been sur
veyed. This is something entirely differ
ent from the first understanding of the i'm
port of the bill.-Aadison Confter.
The Courier is badly mistaken. The bill
expressly provides that any head Of a fami-
ly may enter quarter section (l60 acres),
free of charge. The Washington States is
responsible, we think, in originating this
perversion of the BILL We annex the FIRST
provision of the act, AS taken from the
Washington Globs, TO show that our view
of it is correct.
Be ii resolved BIZ the Senate ard House Of
Representatives Of the United Stasss Of Aae-
riean in Congress assembled, That any person
who is the head of a family, or who has mr.
rived at the age of twenty-one wears. and is
