In a communication to the commissioner
of the general land office respecting the re-
payment of the purchase money under the
act of the 10th day of June, 1850, for the
relief of settlers on public lands and to
provide for the repayment of certain fees,
purchase money and commissions paid on
void entries of public lands Secretary Tel
Ter holds that whenever an entry of land
is made by specific location and wholly fails,
the scrip or warrant being within the con-
troll of the general land office, and not, in
fact, satisfied, may be returned for proper
location, upon the cancellation of the for
mer invalid entry. but where the consider
alton is carried into the treasury as cash, it
can only be withdrawn by an application
under the repayment statutes In tho
opinion of the secretary, it is clear that it
must be paid in the manner provided by
those statutes, "out of any money in the
treasury not otherwise appropriated" and
in cases of excess, where they fall within
the provisions of the repayment acts, the
excess must also be repaid as provided by
law, out of such moneys

Wesver, one of the early employees upon
the Raynolds-McGec, block in this city,
