Tho report Of tho Surveyor General
for tho year ending November 30, 1873
shows the total receipts Of the Office
for purchase money, foes, ETC., TO BE-
5,6l5.43, an increase of S7,460 over
1872, and larger in amount than for
any ycar since 1898, excepting the
years 1864 and 1870. Nine hundred
and thirty-nino patents were issued
during tho year, covering 1853, ,Sl5acros
The matter Of bringing suits against
land owners for moneys duo the Com
monwealth for unpatcnted lands has
been postponed for the present, on nc
count Of tho financial troubles, and in
tho belief that largo majority OF
those so indebted will, ii further time
be given, pay without being compelled
to do so by suits. Iii is strongly urged
that all owners Of uipatcntcd lands
should make prompt payment tbcre-
for TO the State, and perfect title by
application for patent, thus saving in
tcrest accruing us well as cost Of suits.
Special attention is called TO the ncces-
sity for additional Legislation for the
better protection Of landowners. =
Under the present laws persons make
IL business TO search for dcfccts--or
what thcy suppose to bo such--in the
titles of others, and in many such
cases they have tho required applica-
tion executed in some distant place,
where tho real owners can have no
knowledge Of tho preliminary steps TO
disposscss them OF their lands, end as
the Land Department has 20 connect
ed maps to show whether the land
has been previously taken up or not,
expensive and tedious litigation has
been entailed on many persons who
supposed that all their rights were
covered and protected. TO remedy
this evil il is recommended that the
witness, as TO the land being improved
or not, should be resident of the i'm
mediate vicinity of tho land applied
for, and that at least thirty days no
ticc should be required by publication
in one or more papers Of the county
of the fact of the application, with a
description Of tho land, its location,
and boundaries. The Surveyor Con
eral believes that this will not In any
way interfere with applications for
vacant lands made in good faith, and
in cases where the lands belong 10
others it will enable them to caveat
against the issue OF a warrant, as well
as TO perfect any defect shown to ex-
list. A further recommendation is an
extension OF the pre-emption right so
as to cover all cleared lands actually
used by tho party in possession, and
for which he pays taxes, but by over.
sight or want OF knowledge has failed
to perfect title by warrant and survey.

one between the people and tho rob
bcrs. The latter are few in numbers,
it is true, but they have been doing
tho voting and counting, for the peo-
pie, for years The few, Corrupt ut
that have ruled tho many. Stokely,
thc present Mayor, is the ring nomi.
nee. Such corrupt Democrats as
Sam. Josephs, Alderman McMullen
and AL. Scbofeld, and their followers,
all support him. Hon. Alexander X.
Mcclure is running as an Indepcnd-
ont candidate, supported BY the Dem
ocrats and the Reformcrs. For our,
self we would have preferred a
straight Democratic candidate, but as
nearly all our most worthy and prom.
lnent Democrats in that city saw fit
10 pursue different policy. We have
not mcddlcd in their affairs, and now
hope they may succeed with Col. Nc
Cluro, who is without doubt the ablcst
statesman in Pennsylvania. Combin-
ing his talent, energy aud experience,
he has no equal in the State. His
election to the Mayoralty will break
upa "Ring," as Infamous, although
with less brains, as the Tammany
ring, and furnish the Eastern Peni-
tcntiary with at least n score of con
vicis within The next two years, who
are now sitting in high places, to the
disgrace Of the State and the city.
