To Registers and Receivers of (J. S.
Land Offices— G entlemen : I have
to cult your attention to the act of Con
gress approved March 3, 1877, enti
tled “An act to aim nd section twenty
two hundred and ninety-one of the re
vised statutes, in relation to proof re
quired in homestead entries.”
The act provides a method of mak
ing the final proof in homestead en
tries, dispensing with the necessity
that the party shall attend at the dis
trict land office, as required in official
regulations given on page 5, subdivis
ion 17, circular of May 18, 1876.
The party desiring to avail himself
thereof must appear with his witnesses
before the Judge of a court of record
of the county and State, or district
and Territory, in which the land is sit
uated, and there make the final ¡»roof I
required by law, according to pre
scribed forms, which proof is required
to he transmitted by the judge, or
clerk of the court, to you, together
with the fee and charges allowed by
law.
The judge being absent in any case,
the proof may be made belore the
clerk cf the proper court. The fact of
the absence of the judge must be cer
tified in the papers uy the clerk acting
in his place.
If the laud in any case is situated in
an unorganized county, tae statute I
provides that the party uiay proceed
to make proof in the manner indicated
in any adjacent county in the State or
Territory. The tact that the county
In which the land lies is unorganized,
and that the county in which the prool
is made is adjacent thereto, must be
certified by the officer.
In any case where the final proof
shall be transmitted to you, as contem
plated in this act, and the full amount
of money due shall be paid, you will
carefully examine the piooi, and if no
objection appears, proceed to issue the
receipt and certificate in the case, and
make proper returns to this office as a
basis of a patent or complete title tor
the homestead, pursuant to existing
laws. If any oijectiou appears you
will promptly notify the parly aud ad
vise him of his rights iu the matter.
Your attention is further directed to
an act approved the same day, entitled
“An act fi»r the relief ot settlers on
the public lands under the pre-emp
tion laws.”
Under this statute a party desiring
to change his claim under a pre-emp
lion tiling to that of a homestead entry
should be required, on making the
change, to appear at the proper land I
office, with his witnesses, and show
fuii compliance with the pre-emption
law to date of such change as has
heretofore been required in transmu
tation cases, proof of such compliance
to be forwarded wilh the entry papers
to this otlice. When the party applies
to make final proof he must show con
tinued residence and cultivation as re-
quired by the homestead law.
In case an adverse claim has at-
tached to the laud, due notice, iu ac-
cordance wilh the rules of practice,
must be given all parties in interest ot
the time and place of submitting proof
in support ot the application to make
such change. The adverse claimants
will be entitled to the privilege of cross
questioning the applicant’s witnesses
and of offering counter proof.

T here are many persons who do not
know how to stop a newspaper. They
are more awkward about it than a boy
stealing his first kiss. The way to do
it with satisfaction to both partiesis
to address the publisher by letter, if
you do not live near enough to call at
his office. It is no way to notify the
postmaster, or some one else. Three
postmasters in four will fail to notify
the office of publication. They look
upon it as your business more than
theirs. The right way is as genteel
and pleasant as the other is suspicious
and shabby. If you are for a few wepks
or month over the time, tender the
amount due. It is a little thing, but it
will be a great satisfaction to jour con
science, as every one is presumed to
have one of some kind. Stop your
paper like a man, and your own self-re
spect and the esteem of the publisher
is maintained. Then you can look
him in the eye or take him by the
hand, and he will feel proud to think
you were once one of his most gentle
manly patrons, and wish you would
subscribe again.

W ashington , May 4th.— The Cabi
net was in session nearly three hours
to-day, and it was decided to postpone .
the extra session of Congress until the
15th of October next. This change of
the original programme was made
upon careful consideration of the gen
eral interests of the country with
almost a unanimity of desire, on the
part of the business community, as
well as of members of Congress them
selves as far as they could he consult
ed, that there should lie no session
of C ingress this Summer; and, upon
much inquiry into ill the circumstan
ces of the case, it was found that with
out any immediate appropriation of
money the army would lie clothed and
supplied with all its necessities, and
that until the 15th of October that
only one regular pay day has to bo
passed. It was also considered that if
Congress meets in October it may re
main in continued session and finish
its business before next Summer, so as
to avoid the inconvenience of the hot
season next year as well as this, and
the proclamation calling an extra ses
sion on October 15th is to lie issued
without delay.
