THE LAND GRANTS.
\ Lot Of Erroneous Rot Relative to Land
Titles In New Mexico.

WASHINGTON, April g.. One of the
greatest problems congress has had to do
with for the past fifty years is the settle
mCnt OF the Spanish and Mexican land
1rant claims in the inter mountain coun-
try OF the west. Millions of acres OF the
richest lands there are closed to pioneers
or occupied by settlers who secured peace
and the shadow of a title by submitting
10 the eXtortions of the pretended owners.
1t Is estimated that not to exceed per
cent OF the controversies have been dis
posed of, and the committees having the
matter in charge in both houses despair
OF solving the question, save by leglsla-
ton that will permanently Danish the
subject from their hearing, and at the same
time take the tons of documentary evil
dence relating to it out of. their sight, and
vsrious efforts have been vaiuly made by
leaders in both houses to devise an accept
able and sufficient blll-notably by Mr.

THE MEANS TO BE USED.

The disagreements were on the ma
chiDery provided, it being the judgment
OF many members that a commission
would be competent for the work. The
enormous values involved, however,
taken into consideration with commission
experience still fresh in mind and the
proneness of such bodies to turn the Judi.
'lal scales with money bags, have greatly
increased the support of the Elmunds
plan, and from present indications the
house is going to send into the senate Just
such a measure AZ will satisfy the legal
luminarles of that body. This is
Wickham's bill, VIZ: "ro establish a
United States land court and to provide
Tor Judicial investi !ation and settlement
OF private land claims in the territories OF
Arizona and New Mexico, and in the state
of Colorado "
Santa Fe daily New Mexican. [volume] (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1885-1897, 1890-04-08
ELEVEN SQUARE LEAGUES.

Another striking feature of the bill is
that no confirmation shall he made or
patent issued for more than eleven square
leagues of land.
Under the present cloudy condition OF
titles in Arizona and New Mexico particu.
larly the development of these territories
is greatly retarded, while the frauds and
troubles which are the logical result OF
the situation can not be wholly overcome
for years.
Opposition to the bill may be expected
from the holders of rlch land grants, but
it will only need Mr.. Edmunds' paternul
care in the senate to insure its passage.
Santa Fe daily New Mexican. [volume] (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1885-1897, 1890-04-08
COMPOSITION OF THE COURT.

The committee having it in charge has
finished its work and will soon report
1t to the house. According to its proyi.
sions, there shall be United States land
court, consisting of chief Justice at
$4,000 year and two associate Justices
at $500 year each, to be appointed by
the president and to hold Office during
good behavior. This court is to exercise
jurisdiction in the settlement of private
land claims, holding alternate sessions in
Washington and the states and territories
designated. 1t is to have a chief clerk
at 1000, an assistant at 81 800, stenog
rapher at 81 800, and an interpreter at
VI ,5UO. United States marsiaIs are to
serve its processes. 1t is to also have all
attorney at $500 year.
In the jurisdiction prescribed it is
plainly to be seen that the reclamation OF
immense and valuable territory is intend.

HELD BY FICTITIOUS EVIDENCE.

Under the unrecorded parchment grants
issued by the Spanish and Mexi, an gov
ernments up to the time of the HidagO
treaty of l84S, fraud has been difficult of
detection; yet it is very we'll known that
many of the claimants, having nothing
more substantial in proof than forged
sheepskins, invented depositions and an
cestral legends. Supported with this
Fictitious evidence and encouraged by the
halting manner in which congress has
aCttd, the prrtenders have prohted
greatly from levies made on settlers.
Even in the case of wel-authentcated
grants such was their vaugeness of def
milton that the heirs have gone on in.
creasing their bounds of the ceded do
main, overlapping rivers and mountains to
suit their own conception OF what the
grantors intended. The boundary limits
OF these concessions are almost invariably
denoted by stream of unestablshed
name, forests of vague description, head
lands that have no unique character OF
contour, and other uncertain monuments
or marks of bounds
Santa Fe daily New Mexican. [volume] (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1885-1897, 1890-04-08
WHERE THE BOUNDS ARE UNCERTAIN.

With respect to these wrongs, the
Wickham bill provides that when the
description OF the land shall require the
location to be ascertained by mountain
ranges, mountain tops, forests and like
natural objects whereby, or by any de-
scriptlon thereof, the quantity OF land in
any such grant or concession is uncer-
tain, said court shall declare and adjudge
such claim or grant void except as to that
part of the land in such grant in the
actual possession of tie grantee or his
assigns or legal representatives at the
dates of the treaties of cesslon, and peti.
ton is required to he made to the court
within three years. Failure to comply
invalidates the claim.

most held my breath, and, as an American
citizen proud OF his country, prayed God
for the peoples safe deliverance and for q
demonstration that they had not lost their
love for honesty and right Toe demon
stration came, and am eow glad that the
issue between right aud wrong was made
so clearly, and that the wrong so inn
pudently displayed the banner under which
its fortunes were gathered.
II want TO thank you, as a citizen and as
one Of the people, for the gallant light you
made and for all that you have done Ia
this trying hour to save the American
character And | am so glad that this
thing was done under Democratic auspices,

for you deserves the gratitude of his fellow

California, who was an intimate friend OF
Gen. Grant, proposes the erection OF a
magnificent memorial to the distinguished
chieftain, to be placed IN the circle south
Of the executive mansion. Gen Beale
says that it would not be necessary for the
remains Of Gen. Grant to be placed under
the memorial any more than it would be
to remove the dust of Washington from
Mount Vernon. Gen. Beale thinks that
