of his Masonic principles, sends the following
letter to the last Independent relative to his ex
animation:

THE NEW HOMEsTEADLAw,

Senator Pomeroy's bill to secure
bomesteads to actual settlers on the pub
lie domain, which passed the Senate
last year, passed the House March 18th.
II is one Of the most important meas
ures concluded by the present Congress.
1t practically annuls the pre-emption
laws and substitutes the old homestead
law, with provisions for conmutation of
the time required for the settlement and
occupation of the public lands. Sec
tons 10 and Is inclusive of the pre-
emption Act of 1861 and the Acts amend
atory thereof were repealed; also, the
Act of 1852, the Act amendatory thereof.
and the Act for the disposition of lands
in Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Ar
kansas and Florida, Of 1866. Section 2
preserves the provisions of the pre-emp-
ton Act as to personal qualifications and
the amount Of land to be acquired, and
authorizes settlers ON unappropriated
public lands not mineral or saline, to
enter lands covered by settlement not eX-
ceeding one quarter section held at the
minimum price of 81 Is, or eighty acres
Of land held at $2 80 per acre. Section
Sprovides that application shall be made
within two months afther settlement, or
from the receipt OF the township plat at
the district Land Office; affidavit to be
made similar to that of the old pre-emp-
ton land law; the certificate or patent
not to be issued until after the expira-
ton of five years from the date of set
tlement. Section provides that par
ties owning and residing upon public
lands at the date of this Act, may enter
adjoining unsppropriated lands, which
in the aggregate with the land already
owned and occupied, shall not exceed
100 acres of the minimum lands, or pro-
portionately less of the double mini
mum lands-a residence upon the ad-
Joining farm not being required, but
only its use and improvements in good
faith. Section provides that lands so
acquired shall not be liable for debts
contracted prior to the issue of the GER
tifcates. Section 9 provides for the
continuance of homestead rights in the
wife after abandonment by her husband.
Section 10 provides that only one en-
try under this Act shall be made; pro-
yided, that no person shall be debarred
on account Of benefits received from the
old pre-emption law, excepting in case
where such pre-emption has been con.
sumated under the homestead law. Sec
ton IA allows commutation of the five
years settlement by payment after eigh-
teen months instead of six, as did the
old law. Section 16 recognizes the
Joint entry in accordance with the late
ruling of the Department of the Interior
Section II allows the entry Of tracts moi
exceeding forty acres for mechanical
commercial or manufacturing purposes
upon proof of the fact of occupation fol
one years time, for which application
shall be made the same as in other cases
Section IS preserves the old provision
as to double minimum prices. The Act
took effect January l, 1873.
