Inteiestof said Warwick iu tho prom

tuted in thu local laud olllce in thu in

and with a view of untorlng thu samo
for their henollt as a town site, lo can
cel and set asido Warwick's notifica
tion and entry upon thu charge of

chnrgo was that thu, commutation
entry of September 10,18(50, was void
the land being then tiusurvoyed, and
therefore thu failuro to lesido thereon,
thenceforth amounted to nu abandon
ment. That olllce and thu commissioner
of the general land olllce decided thu
question against Wnrwiek, holding
that 1 of the net of February Hi
1853, and of July 17, 1851, providing
for tho payment of $1 25 per neru
in Doll of tho lust throe yours' resi
dence upon (ho donation lOquired hy
tho act of September 27, 1850, did not
apply to uusiirveyed lands. Upon nn
appeal to the Secretary of tho Interi
or, that odicer, on May 21), 1871, re
versed such decision, saying: "Tho
language of said 1 is somewhat
ambiguous, but it is undoubtedly sus
ceptible of a eoustructioii to include
uusiirveyed land, and such a con
struction seems lo bo in stric: con
formity with tho spirit of tho act, and
the objects intended to bo accomplish
ed hy its passage. The construction
adopted is extremely teehniunl, and I
think contrary to tho policy of the
act, which was a huuovoleut statute,
and as such, had received iu nil udju
dicated cases arising under it, and ex
ceptionally liboral interpretation!
(Staik v. Hlarr, (I Wall, -102; Silver v.
l.add.O Wall, 210.")
Tho secretary iiImi held that the en
try of Warwick boing prima facia,
regular and Mtlid, the contestants,
who had neither alleged nor claimed
nny prior iuteiest iu tho hind could
not nin'iitain a proceeding to set it
aside.
The proisjyljujt. i nought to ho.
maintuiiieii not omy upon, uiu ground
pitKHuil upon in thu laud department,
namely, tho abandonment hy War
wick of his residence upon tho piein
n hefoio ho had complied with the
reqiiiiemeuts of thu law, hut also
iimiii ihu ground that thu prumses
included iu tliu patent to Warwick
uiu n part of thu town site of Marsh
He'd, which "win. settled upon for the
purposes of business and trade and
not agiicultiire long prior lo tho datu
of the protended settlement or occu
pation hy Warwick," and that relying
upon this fact, tliu plnintiiF settler
upon tho lot in controversy, espucting
"that the title thereto would be duly
obtained in iiccordanco" with the
laws of thu Unitod States.
Urielly, it appears from tho evi
donca thatin March, 1851, Mr. J. 0.
Toluiau, now surveyor genor.il ot this
Slate, wont upon tho ground witli his
family, and nuirkodoilt n claim of 320
acres, to which ho givo tho naino of
Maishlield, nud built n double log
house thereon, with the intention of
acquiring tliu samo as n donation,
undur thu net of Sept. 27, 1850, and
building a town thoieou. About
Auirust 1. Tolninn romoved to Jnek-
soli county, whero ho settled upon .120
acres of the public laud and acquired
'the title to thu samo I'nder tho dona
tion nut, nud never returned to Cooj
county. When he loft hu made un
arrangement with one A.J. Davis to
hold tho claim thereafter together
Davis procuring Wnrwiek to hold tho
ninth end of tho claim for him, and
one A. J. Oaskoll tho south und for
Toluiau.
Just prior to leaving, Toluiau gavo
Captains Crosby and Williams, who
woro iu tho hay with a vussol,twolois
on tho marsh near tho water, on con
dition that they would build a store
ami wnieltouso theieou, and occupy
thu samo as a place of businesi, Dur
ing tho summer, they unused a small
fruuiu house to ho erected there, hut
uovor occupied or returned to tho
phieo. On August !, 1S5I, Warwick
went Into tho log ho no built hy Tol
uiau, nud resided there for ovoi ' a
year, elaining to bo iv Hottlor undur
tho donation act, during which time,
on March 10, 185(1, ho tiled u donation
under tho notification net for 100
noros, including s'uuhdwulling houso
and on Sopt. 10. 1850, pur said Davis,
madu proof of such residence and cul
tivation, und eiitoied thu samo nt
ifl 25 per ncie, under tho donation not
nud ) 1 of the nets of February M,
IKO.'I, and July 17, 1801. In thu full of
185(1, Wnrwiek and Davis loft tho coun
try and hnvo not returned to it, and at
tlm samo time, James T. Jordan, by
tho permission ol Davie, occupied tho
liouso built hy Cioshy and Williams
as a store. Davis gavo Jordan iuatrno-
lions to look after tho ulnim nud pay i (
thctiuoaon it, which ho did for about
5 years, whon Luso nssumed nn over
night of tho plnco ns tho agent of
Davis, nnd within n year thereafter ns
thoownorof tho same.
,' 0 Juno 10, 1855, Tolninn sold his
Uiupposcd intorest in tho Mnrshfiold
clninito J, 8. Hatch, who soon nftcr
took Oeorgo C. l'urhor into the spoon
lution ns a partner. Iu thu full of 185G,
Soelates Bchollold, under tho dlrcc.
tionof said Hatch, Furber and Dnvir
laid oirn village upon tho claim ocou
piod hy Tolninn, tho ftinallor portion
of which was upon tho tract patented
to Warwick, nnd miido plats thoreof,
which was tho first attempt lo lay off
a town on the premises.
Tho first houso built upon tho
Marshfleld claim nftor the two built in
1857, and occupied as n dwelling houso
by ii man named Hamilton. Tho noxt
house wain saloon, hu'lt in 1805, and
..& -J.I..I i... .,.yi ...i, ...
now occupied hy 'ho plaliiliir. Hoon
after this, in 1800-7, n saw mill was
built nt Marshfleld, and pcop'o com'J
moneed to occupy thoplrco ns fi towiTr'u'ction to nfled or set nsido n patent,
und nt tho commencement of those
notions at law there woro .from 50 to
75 houses on tho portion included in
Warwick's donation.
On October 21,1871, the town of
Marshfleld was duly incorporated
with the following boundaries "com
mencing at n point on the ship chan
nel on Isthmus slough, 10 chains
north of the S. K. oornur of lot 2 iu
section 20 of T. 25 S. of It. 13 W.J
Mienco west to tho cast lino of section
27 of said township; thoiien north
along said line -10 chains; thenco
uust to tho insido channel of Coos
bay; and thoncu frouthurly along
said chtiunol to the place of begin
ning." (Saw. Laws, 102.) Those boun
daries inciuiiu tnu tots involved iu
this litigation.
In Xovomber, 1873, nnd befoic tho
incorporation of enid town, an appli
cation was madu by (. Wolwtpr, act
ing on behalf of the inhabitants of
thu plnco, to outer laud as a townsito,
including a portion of tho Wii-vicl:
uonatibU Thocontosl tocaneol War
wick's entry being then ponding iu
thu land department at Washington,
tho application and nionoy wcro mere
ly received by thu oflicers as a deposit
to await thu result of such contest,
and woru leturued to Wobster in the
amu month. On Fohrunry 10. 1877,
tho truxtficii of tho town of Mnrshfluld
applied at tho land ollice to make the
sainu entry, hut the application was
lejected, on the ground that it was
not oiou to entry.
Upon this stnto of faots thw suit
cauiioi ho maintuiuud. Tho place
called Marshfleld was not, as n mutter
of fact, occupied ns n townsito or ct!lcil
upon for tho purpose of business or
trade prior to the survey of the Mime
into lots and blocks iu the fnll of 1850,
nnd probably not until 180(1, nnd nrirr
within tho meaning of tho townsito
net of May 23, IS 14, (5 Stat. 057) nnd
1 of tho act of July 17, 1851, (10 Stat.
305).
The net of July 17, 1S51, supra, first
uxtunded thu townsito act of May 23,

any number of people had settled up
on tho Marshlluld claim in 1851, as a

that it could not afterwaids hu taken

tho contrary so soon as it was not oc
cupied as a townsito it wasabaudouod
and was open to settlement undor thu

beenuso not inurlo for himself bit I for

not inn condition to question the le

occupation nnd thu patont to him
thereon. Equity does not have itiris-
or lo hold the patentee as atrusteofor

nn antecedent equity iu the plain tin
which was disregarded or overlooked
in tho issuing of such patent.. (Stark

The.intcrcst of tho plntntih", if any,
is sulwcquont to the ettloment, occu
pation proof and entry of Warwick.
Prima facia, the promiius hnd become
flic property of Wnrwiek before tho
plaintiff-) occupation began. The le
gality of Wmwiek's settlement and
Occupation was then exclusively a
miostion between him nnd tho United
$tnto; nnd until such entry wa can-
led hy thu lattur, neithortho iuhab-
ttints of Marshfleld nor nuv one for
them was outitled to enter the- land
i4 n town situ. Rightfully or wrong
fully, the land had been granted to
another beforo thoro wore any occu-
-ihiits of lots in Mnrshlicld other than
the. donee thereof. Tho pUintill is
UfpVoforo without any established in
'tcro.'fTifOr right to tho pftrhlUiw.'Anll'
thereforo has no standing in a court
of equit" to question tho legality of
the p.nent to Warwick or the sufli
cionoy of the grounds upon which it
ii issued.
Hut a contest was had in tho land
ilcpartinont between tho inhabitants
of Mnrshfield and Warwick upon tho
quotum of tho validity of his entry
which was decided in favor thereof.
In that contest, tho only objection
made to the donation entry wn, that
being upon unsiirvoyed hinds tho pet
tier will not entitled to commute the
rupiired icsidonco thoreonhv paying
for the land at the end of one year's
residence, at tho rate of $1 25 por
licit. And that question being ono of
law merely, depending for its solution
upon the propor construction of 1 of
tho art of February 14, 1853, wh'ch
provides that settlors undor the dona
tion net, "who have loented or may
hereafter locate" public land "of which
survoy shnll have been mado ov'tnay
hrreajler be had, shall, after ono year's
occupation, in lieu of tho residonro

plninlilf had any intorest in or right
to tho promises, voviu.v tho action of
tho land depar.iuent thoreon and an
nul it, if erroneous. Hut ns it is, that
action can only bo reviewed in a suit
by the United Statos to cancol and set
aside the patent on tho ground that it
was illegally issued.
Uut even if tho plaintiff could main

Shiplov vCowen, 1 Otto 310; Aiken v

Thoiofoie tho questions whether
Waiwick 8f0tiloniont,ooevp.iiion and
entry wero in fact for himsolf or for
Davis or Tolninn, or whether the
Marshfleld claim was occupied ns n
towif sito'or settled upon for tho pu.
Ijoso of business or trndo nt or prior to
Warwick's wittloniont thoreon, cannot
hu enquired of in this suit. For al
though thosu questions wovi speeill
eally made u tho contest in the land
depart muutlhoy wcio plainly within
tho scope of tho enquiry, and might
hnvo boon raised nnd decided if tho
opntostnnts had desired, .mpliodly,
tho decision of (hu boerotavy of the in
tuiior that tho Wnrwiuk entry was
valid ami lawful jnuludod every
question of fact that might properly
ii,ve been ruisod nnd doeldod in -tho
progress of tho contest concerning it.
If tho rules woro othcrwiso, this case
is a good illustration of tho intolerable
voxution and doiny which would at
tend tho procuring of titles hy settlors
on tho public lands. As has been stat
ed, thoconlost in tho land department
wan made upon tho single proposition
that tho Warwick donation being tin
surveyed could not bo purchased, nnd
that Warwick's removal from it after
a residence there on of less than two
ycarA.juid the payment of $1 25 there
for, was, in effect, an abandonment of J
his Bcttloment' a fuiluro to perform'
tho" condition? subsequent of tho
grant, whereby tho premises reverted
to tho United Stales and were open to
scttlomcnt under the town site law
The proposition thnt Warwick's set
tlement was for tho benefit of another
or that the place Wasoccupied asntown
at nnd beforo Warwick's settlement,
doos not then seem to have been
thought of, but are brought forward
nt this late day, and in this form to
defeat and nullify tho action of the
land department in that contest.
But itappoars that oven these ques
tions were brought before tho depart
ment piiorto the issue of tho patent
nnd considered by it as upon a. motion
for a new trial.
On May 11, 1875, the register and
receiver forwarded tho principal evi
dence relied on bo the plniutitr upon
thoee points, lo tho commissioner'
who, on May 29. 1875, (submitted the
samo to tho secrelnry with a recom
mendation that the case be oponcd
which on September 30, 1875, was re
fused by tho acting secrotnry.
Upon the whole, there is no equity
in this hill, or any ground upon which
it can be maintained. It is therefore
dismissed with costs. The same de

Oratorical Sn.ccc.
The purpose ol a great speech is to
persuade men. It may bo brilliant
and oloqueut, so much so that nion
will say of it, "that is oratory," and go
on about their business. When men
act as if they had not heard a woitl of
a speech, it is a failure, oven if it is
thought worthy of a place among
specimens of oloquence."
"A great speech," said O'Connoll,
spoukine; of addrosaes to a jury, "is a
very fine thing ; but, aitqr all, the ver
dict is the thing."
Professor Mathews, from whose
book on "Oratory and Orators" we
quote O'Conncll's remark, insists that
no one would discover tho perfect or
ator, if suoli there could be,
while ho was speaking. Ho tolls two
tpiecdotesto illustrate his usscitiou :
When Chiof Justice 1'araons, o
Ma-s.icluisotts. was practicing at the
bar, a farmer, who had ofton heard
him spunk, was asked what sort ot a
pleader ho was.
"Oh, he is a good lawyer nnd an ex
celhtnt counsellor, but a poor plead
er," wnstho reply.
"Uut does ho not win most of his
causoa?"
"Yes, but that's bocauso ho knows
tho law, and can arguo woll ; but he's
no orato.."
A hard-headed bank prosidont once
cpngrntuhitcjl himsolf, in tho presence
of Mi Miithow,onrositing, as foro
man of a jury, tho oratorical bland
ishments of Mr. Choate.
"Knowing his skill," otiid tho hard
headed man, in ninking white appeal
black nnd black white, 1 mndo up in
mind at tho outset that ho should
not fool me. Hu tried nil his arts, but
it was of nou&o, I just decided accord
ing to tho lnw and evidence."
"Of coumo," answered Mr. Muthew.-,
'you gnvo your verdict agaiusi Mr
Choato'u client?,'
'Why, no ; wo gavo a verdict foi
his client ; but then "wo couldn't help
it : ho had thu law and thoevidencoon
his sido,"
It uovor occuned it tho hank pre-i-(lout
or to the fanner that Cho.Ho and
rnrson woto after vordioW, not ndnn
nition, And they got thorn, Iiouiium
they sunk tho orator into the ado
uato, "Thou mndeit people say, 'How well
