Important Decisions from the Secre-
tary Of the Interior.
Secretary Villas has rendered the following
important decision involving the question of
residence upon homestead entries prior to
making final proof, and transmitted the
same to the land commissioner:
II have considered the appeal of William
a. Thompson from your office decision of
July ., 1856, rejecting his final proof for
the land therein mentioned. | think this
man is entitled to mis- patent. lie made his
declarntory. statement April 20, 1883, alleg-
ing settlement the week before, and shows
that he made IL. 1t appears that he WAS alb
sent during most of the following summer,
that he was on the land from fall until the
following spring, absent again during the
succeeding summer, again upon the land
from fall until spring, and not absent six
months at any one time, that he applied
the proceeds Of his labor during the two
seasons when he was absent to the building
of his house and the making of improve
mcnts upon his land, now valued altogether
at six hundred dollars that he was u poor
man, and his absence was for the purpose of
earning the means to improve his land, and
that he devoted all the fruits Of his earnings
with fidelity to that purpose. In the spring
of the third year he left again and remained
absent until the following January, his pur-
pose being TO earn sufficient money to pay
The government for his land. The amount
neccssarywas two hundred dollars, a consider
bic sum for a laborer to save from his wages
during the year, in addition to fees and ex-
penses. lie appears to have done it, and
Notwithstanding lie was not personally pres
.ent upon his land during the last six month
preceding the completion OF his entry, tn
iact cannot deny his right. He made "A set
tlement in person on this land, lie has
erected dwelling thereon, he has improved
the land, and he has inhabited 1t in good
faith. When II is considered that this tract
was situated many miles from the ordinary
highways, remote from from settlements
generally, that it is very difficult of access,
aud yet that he has persistently clung to 1t
for three years, applying all the results of
his labor to its improvement and its pur-
chase, 1t is difficult to discern case more
worthy of being marked by good faith. His
inhabitancy' of the land Is not impeached
after his residence was once secured, by his
going abroad to procure means TO bring

Imperfect statistics.

From tho Mexican Financlcr, Mar ., 1851
AZ We have repeatedly pointed out, the
statistics, published at Washington, of the
trade Of the United States with Mexico are
exceedingly inaccurate as far us the figures
representing the exports Of American man
ufactures and products Of this country are
concerned. Col. Switzlcr, the compiler of
these statistics, has repeatedly cautioned
the public I'm regard 20 them, his very ade-
quate excuse for their imperfcctness 'heing
the absence Of any legal provision requiring
returns Of exports TO this country across
the frontier But We note that our usually
carefully contemporary, Bradstrcct's, en-
plOys the recent returns Of the export trade
of the United States TO this country without
any cautlonary note, and in several other
American journals the same error Is made.
We are glad to be able TO thank the EcOnO-
niSta Of this capital for pointing out to us
that II has accompanied the publication
of these statistics with word of caution;
we should be most unwilling TO do our
courteous contemporary injustice, But
what shall we say OF the American Congress
which allows, through neglect, the perpetu-
alton, year after year, Of gross economic
bluudcrY short bill, enacted into law,
would enable Col SwitZlcr to give rs ac-
