several coming years. il Is hardly 1ar 10 as
sume that the West is no longer this side OF

any region west of the Alleghanies where Gov
ernment land is open to the pioneer; and there
are millions of acres of good farming land
this side of the Missouri River Within few
wears, or since the commencement OF the Re-
hellion, additional attraction has been given to
Government land by reason of the Homestead
law, which secures to each head OF family
a quarter-sectiOn, or 1GO acres, on the condl-
ton of five years settlement and the payment
of Office fees of about S14. During the war;

New-York tribune., 1868-04-04

How much trouble comes with money, how
4nuch family scandal is stirred up when rich
man dies, aud how much ingenuity 1t some
times requires to give away ones own prop
,rty, are points which find curious Illustration
in an article published this morning in another
part of our paper. We have not been obliged
ia go beyond New-YOrk City and its suburbs
for our list of cases nor have we carried the
record very far back. Beginning with the
Iispenard will case, a little over twenty-five
years ago. and coming down TO the Gardiner
and tumel cases, which are hardly yet con
cuded, we find the number of famous litiga-
tions about testamentaTy bequests so large
that it almost seems to he the rule when the
property is valuable, for relatives to quarrel
over their inheritance, and spread their do
mestic secrets, the feuds of brothers and
sisters, and the faults and failings of the dead,
before the gaze of the world The story is
sad one, and its moral ought to be that there
are few acts of mans life which require
more sacacity and circumspectiOn than the
making of his will
