pie in these States, many Of whom are colored,
M Kellogg said the only purpose of the bill

&on the same footing AZ public lands in the
other States Of the Union. These lands cannot
nov be entered, and ,ver will be entered un-
less under the homestead laws. Thousands of
far broad acres in oil those States that would be
taken by settlers from the North and West, are
nov closed to them. Restrictions of these lands
to the choice ofactual residents has been tried,
and the lands have not been taken up. It was

State enjoyed -...
