THE PUBLIC LANDS.

The National Domain, or Public Lands of the United States, consist of large bodies of territories ceded by the States which, in virtue of their several charters, laid claim to the jurisdiction; of all the lands held by France under the name of Louisiana, which was purchased from that government, according to the treaty of cession of the 30th April, 1803; and of all the lands owned by the Spanish government, in the Floridas, which was ceded by Spain to the United States, by the treaty of amity, settlement, and limits, of Feb. 22, 1819. The usual process of sale of these lands, is, 1st. The extinguishment of the Indian title, which is effected by paying an equivalènt in tooney and goods: 2d. The laying off the territory to which the Indian title has been thus extinguished into land districts and the establishment of land offices therein. The duties of these land offices are discharged, in each instance, by a Register and a Receiver of public moneys.

The lands are surveyed before they are offered for sale They are divided into townships six miles square, which are sundivided intofthirtysix sections one mile square, containing each 640 acres; and sold in sections, half sections, quarter sections, and half quarter sections.

Prior to the 1st of July, 1820, sales were made upon credit. But an act was passed on the 24th of April, 1820, which put an end to the sys tem of credit. By that act, all sales after the 1st of July, 1820, are to be made for cash Complete payment must be made on the day of pur chase Purchasers at private sale must produce a receipt for the money before entry; and the highest bidder at public sale failing to pay, the tract is to be again offered, and the failing bidder is rendered incapable of purchasing at such sales. By the same act the minimum price of lands is fixed at one dollar and twenty five cents per acre, below which they cannot be disposed of. Lands forfeited for non-payment must be

offered at public before private sale. In case of different applications at private sale, for the same tract, the highest bidder is to have preference.

Due notice is given by the commissioner of the General Land Office, of the times and places at which the sales of the public lands are to take place; and all patents for lands sold or granted by the United States are issued by that officer, upon certificates from the several land offices or military land warrants, in pursuance of various laws.

The different titles by which lands are held under the authority of the United States, are,

1. Public and private purchases.

2. Virginia military bounties, for services in the Virginia Line on continental establishment during the revolutionary war.

3. Grant to Connecticut of the Western Reserve.

4. Purchases under grant to Johu Cleves Symmes.

5. Purchases under grant to the Ohio Company of Associates. 6 Purchases under grant to the United Brethren.

7 Revolutionary military bounties.

8. Military bounties of the war of 1812.

9. Bounty to refuges from Canada and Nova-Scotia during the revolutionary war.

10. Bounty to Canadian volunteers in the war of 1812.

11 Confirmation of British, French, and Spanish grants, as adjusted by Boards of Commissioners appointed for the purpose.

12. Special grants, by particular acts of Congress.

The President of the United States may remove, by force, unauthorized settlers on the public lands.

Salt springs and lead mines are reserved from sale but may be released by the President; and one section of 640 acres, in each township, is given as a fund for the perpetual support of schools in the township.

Warrants for Virginia military bounties issue from the Land Office of the State of Virginia, and are checked at the General Land Office of the United States, before the issuing of patents on them

Warrants for military bounties, both for revolutionary services and services in the war of 1812, issue from the Department of War

Those Warrants are in the nature of certificates, verifying the claim of the party to a patent for the specified number of acres. The location of the two latter classes of warrauts is determined by lot.
