\ Suspicious Looking Circumstance.
CHULuorA, Fla, May l.. 1854.
EpIroR> RECORD: \ friend journeyed
To Gainesville last March. and on his ar.
rival called at the United States land Of
iiCe and entered vacant forty acre
tract Of land located in Orange county.
taking the receivers receipt for the 500
paid. Then. hieng himself home. he
filed the receivers receipt for record.
paying the customary fee for having il
done. He not only bet, but banked
on incl. Samuel But, alas imam
that is born of woman is full of
trouble" not knowing IN whom to put
his trust The sequel came the fore
part of this month. when my friend was
notified by the officers of the United
States land office at GAINESVILLE that the
state Of Florida had selected the self
same land which the said friend had al.
ready entered and paid for, as swamp
and overflow, Il land, under and by an.
thority of the swamp land grant Of sep.
tembcr -, 1870. after having thirty.six
years to make selections.
The luer, arises Would the state
have selected this particular forty.acrc
tract. had not my friend entered it: And
further. can the state set aside the act II
the United States, through its legal rep.
rescntative, after the latter has received
the money for vacant forty.acre tract
Of land and given q receipt for the same.
including "a description Of tho land pur.
chased; And again Is 1t not open to
suspicion that somebody else IS to be
benefited by the states selectiont And
finally win some one who knows give
us true definition Of the term swamp
and overflowel land as understood by
the government when the act Of Septem
ber 9sth. 1850. was passed, and not by
any latter day standard Of persons who
may b. benefited by their own version
OF IL
The fact is that thousands upon thous.
ands of acres Of AZ arabic land as can
be- found in Florida were transferred to
the state from the general government
under this same act, and are as free from
swamp and overflow" as the top Of tho
dome Of the capitol at Washington.
To cap the climax Of my friends woes
he has been notified thal unless he
brings contest against tho state, his en-
try Of land will he Cancelled. This he
considers is adding insult to injury, al.
though he is allowed sixty days time in
which to prepare for contest. Econ
