here. Great efforts are being made 10 induct
the Legislature 10 appropriate money 20 eini
grafton societies. do not think thatlt Woniu
be good policy 10 make these appropriations
nor would favor any organization 10 "hich
the State shall be party, where money Is 10
Ire paid out of the public treasury in proper
ton 10 the number OF emigrants imported. III
will certainly lead TO filling the State with n
paupcr population. The nducement LOT the
better class OF emigration must De leit, 10
great extent, To individual enterprise. Last
winter the Legislature authorized the ap-
p9iutment of three commissioners OF emlgra-
ton They have been appointed, and the
board is organized. 1t Is believed that this
board may be made the channel through
which individuals may procure tenants, labor
ers, and purchasers tor their lands. But III
Will require active co operation on the part OF
individuals TO effect this object. IN the ONCE
of the board Will he kept Il faithful registry or
all the lands in the State offered TOR sale, on
the prescribed conditions. Parties i'll the State
desiring purchasers through this channel
should have their lands carefully laid OIL with
platS showing the amount of land in each lot
proposed TO be sold, designating the county IN
which il Is located, its distance from In" county
seat, proximity 10 railroads or naEigable
water courses, and the distance from the
nearest general market; thcamouut and quail
ity OF timber the amount OF cleared land, the
character and productiyenrss OF the SOIL, ana
whether best fitted for agriculture, horticul.
which il is offered. In all cases the title
should be- uIencumbered, and 4 certificate OF
the clerk of the county court To that effect
should b. produced, with certificate OF the
county surveyor rs TO the reasonabieness OF
the price compared with other lands i'll the
same section, and the truthiulnesS of the de
scriptiou. These descriptions should be re-
corded III the books kept by the commission
crs, and printed from time TO time IN the
languages OF the countries III which they are
designed 10 be used In the Tidewater dis.
tricts, where the lands are adapted 10 hort-
culture, and can be laid oil into Small tracts,
particular care should be taken 10 leave ROADS
and outlets | think the Legislature ought 10
make an appropriation TO dpfray tn" expenses
of print and of Il clerk To the commissioners
10 perform the labor required III Their oiiice.
The publication OF these advertisements oil
lands might b. made quarterly; aud when any
land il so offered, the price should not be
changed before the next publication, and then,
NJ the instance OF the owner, IL might b. re
duCrd or enhanced. The Executive, then,
could append his certificate as 10 the truthiul-
ness OF the descriptions, values, and titles.
These descriptions could b. freely circulated,
and would receive credit abroad. The owners
oI the lands in particular sections could place
these publications III tn" hands OF elnigrlnt
associations, and make such terms In regard 10
their sales rs might be agreed on. This board
should also receive and record in like manner
propositions from persons who desire to lease
lands. This would bring the lands OF the
State practically 10 the attention uf emiSrants
from all parts Of the world, and would offer
homes tO those who wish either Ia buy or rent.
These persons would naturally be accompanied
hy 4 fair urupOrtiou Of common laborers. The
advantages of this plan must b" evident t.
every owner of real estate who has more land
than he Ctn Work.
