To Reimburse Porchases.
Through the kindness of Capt. J. W.
Lewis, who furnishes The CunosiCLB
with a copy of Mr. Ellis bill, we print
its provisions. This measure, should it
pass, would afford equitable relief to
many people in this district:
A bill to reimburse settlers and pur
chasers ou even-numbered sections of
the public lands within the limits of
congressional grants in cases of forfeit
ure of odd-numbered sections.
Be it enacted by the senate and house
of representatives of the United States
of America, in congress assembled, That
where any person has purchased any
portion of an even-numbered section of
public lauds of the United States, with
in the limits of any congressional grant
made in aid of any railroad or wagon
road, under any of the land laws of the
United States, at the rate of two dollars
nd fifty cents per acre for such lands so
purchased, and Bince the date of such
purchase and payment the odd-numbered
sections within such granted
limits adjacent to and coterminous with
the part of such even-numbered sec
tions so purchased, have been by the
United States declared resumed or re
stored to the public domain by reason
of any failure upon the part of the
grantee company to construct its road
adjacent, to and coterminous with said
lands, such person,' or his or her as
eigne, upon application to the secretary
