The following rs an answer from the
Commissioner of the General Land Of-
fee in regard to certain inquiries arts
ing in reference 10 homestead settle
ments
DFPARTMNNT or THE INTERIOR.
GENERAL LAND OFFICE, May Is. J
SIR In reply to your letter. relative
TO alleged abuses of the Homestead law
In Dakota, and yOur inquiries as to
those who can avail themselves of the
benefit of that act, and also as to what
is reauiied under the law, L have to
state
FIRST, That any person, male or te-
male. who is the head of family, or
has arrived at the age of twenty-One
years, aud Isl citizen of the United
States. or has declared his intention to
become such, is entitled to make IL
homestead entry under the provisions
of the act of May 90, 1862.
Second, After making AN entry at the
district office, the party must proceed
with diligence to bnild his house, and
get upon the land with his family, and
commence the cultivation and improve
meut of the same.
Third, The fifth section of the act
makes the abandonment Of the land,
or exchange of residence for more
than six months at any time, cause of
forfeiture nnder the clause of the law.
YOn state that many persons claim the
right TO 90 upon the land once in every
six months, remain there for day or
two, and then leave 1T again. That IN
depreciation of the law will not be sup
ported by this office. Those parties
could lot show in the final proof that
their actual residence and home had
been npOn their homestead entries.
But, ON the contrary, the evidence
would indicate that the land had been
only temporary abode. Hence, such
quaSt-settlers could have no cause for
grievance, If, npOn presentation of the
facts, their entries could be declared
invalid.
In brief, the acts OF the settler must
be such as to show an intention fully to
comply in good faith with the require
ments of the law and make the land
what the law intends it to be, hls actual
residence, with such improvement and
cultivation of the soil as his means and
strength will allow. An exception to
this requirement is made where the en-
try is for an adjoining farm homestead.
la such cases the party is not required
to build and reside upon the adjacent
homestead entry. But he must prove
residence upon the original farm to
which the homestead tract adioins, and
also cultivation and improvement of the
adjoining tract
am, very respectfully,
JOS. S. WILSON, Commissioner.

"How could we or any other bashful

damsels? We should haye to do it by
proxy, and that we shouldn't like.

How would you like to make an offer of

Fenianism in Ireland.

Dublin, May %.
If the Fenian leaders, Col. Burke and
Col. Mcclure, who pleaded guilty and thus
avowed their treason are hanged, pursuant
to law, the authorities expect sudden and
sharp reprisalS on the part of the members
of the Fenian organization here The Gov
ernment is anxiously and actively engaged.
The counsel who prosecuted for the crown
are guarded day and night by force Of
armed policemen who appear in citizens
dress.
Col. Burke was sentenced to be hanged
on "Wednesday, the Goth of May. Mr.
Doran' death sentence, has, believe, been
commuted Should Burke be executed it
is most likely that Mcclure viii share the
same Fate, as he plead guilty, and now lies
condemned to undergo the highest penalty
of the law.

Dispatches from Cork state that McEl-
wayne, and other Fenians, who have been

on trial
Fourteen Fenian prisoners, confined at
Ennis, have been released on their own rec
ognizance, and it is understood that the
crown will forego prosecution except in a
few cases. Thirteen out of seventeen Fe-
