The ASSIGNMENT OF LAND WARRANTS -
Messrs. Sweeny, Rittenhouse Il Fant, Of this city,
write to correspondents in New York as follows
WASHINGTON, August 90. 1861.
MsssrS Taylor Brothers, Bankers, ~ York city:
Gentlemen: Our Mr.. FAINT had very satisfac
tory Interview with the Secretary Of the Interior
this morning. in relation to the question Of blank
assignment Of warrants, to which you have called
our attention.
He authorizes him to say, that inasmuch az
Congoss had not, In his opinion, made land war.
rants negotiable, his decision was only Intended
to protect bona Jfds owners Of blank assigned
warrants which may have been stolen, or other
wise Improperly obtained. That he ala not mean
to interfere with the buying and selling of blank
assigned warrants properly obtained, and that he
saw no reason why the business could not go on
az heretofore. That the locator, at the time Of
making the entry, could insert his Iame, and Of
course the question could not and would not be
be raised by the Government as to the validity
tnereof III, however, contest was made In cases
OF warrants improperly obtained, such assign.
ments would be declared void His object was
TO announce general princi pie which could ONLY
De applied to warrants after the location. At the
time Of location the officers of the Government
would not stop to inquire when the name of the
assignee was put In, and 10 could never be cues
tloned except when raised by an adverse claimant
III IL should be shown by the warrantee, after
location, that the assignment was made In bEask
without his knowledge or consent, IL vould Of
course be declared void as no title could pass in
that shape. III, however, a valuable Consideration
was Pald, Notwithstanding the asst gnment was In
blank the case would be referred to the courts TO
determine the rights Of the parties blank as
slgnment, made without the owners authority,
has always been void, yet by custom the Govern
location, al to the time when the name was in
serted, but permitted them to be received, unless
question was raised, as before stated, by an ad-
verse party Practically he repeated: that the de-
cision did not change the former ruling OF the
department except In cases where a contest arose
hence while the department cannot officially an.
nounce that 1t will approve Of blank ASST nments
no obstacle will be thrown in the way Of their
location, and such will be recognized when pro.
perly filled up by the local Land Office as hereto
fore.
We therefore perceive no reason why the value
Of warrants should In the slightest deg rec be AZ
fected by this decision

CoTToN DOES NOT RULE THE VACCINATIONS OF
ENGLIsHMEN.- The London Herald (Derbv
Organ,) August 18th, says:
1t Is quite true that many millions of the people
In England earn their bread by cotton; and that
cotton we must have. But 1t il equally true and
apparent that the Southern States Of America are
not the only fields from which cotton can be got
and that since the employment Of several millions
OF people involves the investment Of cotton spin.
ming trade OF great many millions Of capital,
that capital will not allow itself to perish and
Will ind cotton elsewhere If America ceases to
furnish It, IL the bakers In London were to strike
and shut up, We do not Imagine therefore that
London would be long without bread. Nor need
the Southern States imagine that they hold the
keys Of all the cotton reserves In the world
Englishmen would desire Of all things that this
really fruitless war would cease, and that cotton
should still come to them from their kindsmen
But Englishmen repudiate, on the other hand,
having fastened upon them pro-slavery interest
and pro slavery sympathy, by the enunciation of
the unfounded notion, that IL they cinnot get cot
ton through slavery, they must 60 without.
