SorESsRouucuCo % tno VrIDuncs
NJ. Editer The article in your issue
Of the snd, on taI titles Is well enough as
far rs It goes, but the indemnincation of
former owners IL not the only measure
called for In furthcrencs of a final settle
ment ct once equitable and satisfactory
to oil parties interest.
It IL we'll known that large portion Of
the lands in this vicinity were sold q.
public sale under what was termed "The
Army and Navy privilege" aud that, as
. result Of said system Of sales, tho lands
sold were run up to very high figures
in fact, so high thst after three years Of
disappointment and loss had corrected
the early ideas Of the purchaser they not
only found themselves positively unable
to make fhal payment, but that tn y had
origiaslly paid tie FIJI sslss Of the lands
purchased. Under such circumstances Il
would seem tnas tine unfortunate holden
Of Army and Navy Titles were especially
deserving Of consideration. IN framing .
law or laws suited to the altered condi
tion Of things consequent upon tho early
termination Of hostilities in iees.
The money realized from South Caro-
lima st sales and now lying In the United
States Treasury Was In great part CO ntrib-
uted by the so-called Army and Navy
purch..ers. In consideration of tho money
paid down they recsived certificates pro.
viding for three years tenn In which to
pay the remainder Of the purchase money,
and also providing that, in default Of
such hnal payment, the United States
should through their accredited agents be
at liberty to sell the property at public
sale. This was the only penalty or condi-
ton mentioned in the contract, and for
many years this entire community lived
in continual expectation that said author.
lied sales would be enforced, and held
according to the provisions Of the orig
inal contract. But no action Of the kind
has been taken, and In lieu thereof Con-
Sress has seen fit doubtless for want of
sufficient light upon an i'll understood
question: } to ignore and repudiate positive
engagements entered into publicly by
duly appointed government agents.
As facts now stand It is undeniable
that the United States Government is
amenable to the charge of having obtained
possession Of considerable sums Of money
rrder false pretences, inasmueh IS not q
single purchaser und the Army and
Navy privilege partcd with his money
under any other belief than that he was
actually acquiring positive interest in
the land sold, and that he could be de-
prived Of said interest except in the way
expressly provided in the contract for
meeting the contingency of final default.
This L. n, ithcr pleasant nor dignified
attitude for the Government to occupy
toward any class Of its citizens, and it ID
to be hoped that whatever final legis-
lation may be adopted in settlement Of
those much vexed tax title complications
it will be broad and equitable enough Ia
embrace all interests inv. lved.
