A CAUTION TO ATTORNEYS.
The secretary of the treasury has issued a
circular to attorneys, saying: 1t appears

claimants, who are their clients, frequently
deliver such drafts to other parties, some
times residing long distances from their
own or their clients places of business, as
security for money advanced and other like

privilege of practicing in the department.

have lands allotted to them in severalty, at
the rate of 1GO acres 10 each head of fami-

willingness and efficiency in working for
themselves. The Piutes will leave for home
