The sales of the Public Lands during the last year, were not equal to those of the year preceding. The inadequacy of the means afforded to the Surveyors General, to supply the returns of Surveys, and the township plats, in every Surveying district of the United States, except that of Alabama, together with the Indian war in the northern frontier of Illinois and the western part of the Territory of Michigan, and the general prevalence of the Asiatic Cholera, in those places to which emigration tended, and from which it usually emanates, not only interrupted the land sales entirely, in some districts for a portion of the year, but materially retarded those in others. 1 The Act of the last Session of Congress, providing for the issuing of Scrip to the Officers and Soldiers of the Virginia Continental and State lines and Navy of the Revolutionary War, to the amount of three hundred thousand acres, has been nearly executed. Warrants covering about forty thousand acres only remain to be satisfied, and these await the proCuction of the necessary documentary evidence from the parties interjested. By an act of April 5, 1832, "Supplementary to the several Laws for sale of the Public Lands," it is provided that all the Public Lands, when offered at private sale, may be purchased at the option of the purchaser, either in entire sections, half sections, quarter sections, half-quarter sections, or quarter-quarter sections, (not to affect any special provision made by law for the sale of land in town lots.) It provides, however, that no person shall be permitted to enter more than one half quarter section of land under this act, in quarter-quarter sections, in his own name, or in the name of any other person, and in no case, unless he intends it for cultivation, or for the use of his improvement. And the person making application to make an entry under this act, must file his affidavit, under such regulations as the Secretary of the Treasury may prescribe, that he make the entry in his own name, for his own benefit, and not in trust for another. By an act of January 23, 1832, all persons who have purchased under the act of May 29, 1830, granting pre-emption rights to settlers on the Public Lands, are authorized to assign and transfer their certificates of purchase or final receipts, and Patents may issue in the name of the assignee.
