Report of Committee on State Lands.
Sesatf. Committee Room,)
November 20, 1806 j
Your committee on State Lands, res
pectfully submit this report:
The interest of the State requires speedy
and judicious legislation on this important
subject. The present system is too com
plex and extensive, and ought to be, at
least partially, consolidated, simplified, and
greatly restricted in its operations. The
duties of the officers too, ought to be clear
ly defined.
It appears that on May 6th, 1861, there
remained unsold of the confirmed su-amp
and overjiowed lands of the State, 2,024,
133 and 77-100 acres. Of this amount
636,630 and 48-100 acres have since been
sold. There remains 1,387,503 and 20
100 acres yet unsold. Resides this, there
are reports of selections pending before
the commissioner at Washington, which
will doubtless be confirmed in due time.
The purposes and objects of the grant
by Congress, have not been realized. The
lands have not been reclaimed, and, until
some change is effected, will not be. The
proceeds of the sales by the present system
are sufficient to defray the expenses of the
officers. So it is impossible, from the
proceeds of sales, to make any further ef
forts at reclamation. Only two of the
State land offices, the one at Little Rock,
the other at Jacksonport, have made any
report of sales since the offices were reor
ganized.
Your committee are of opinion that all
the offices in the State except the two last
named, ought to be abolished, consolidat
ing the Jacksonport and Helena districts
into one at Jacksonport, and all others
r— _ _a T : a a! . 1 ri'i
vuv ay xmiuu lliltj lUHUIIl
tuend that the present system ol' reclama
tion, always defective—be, not only sus
pended, but entirely abolished.
l^They believe that parties who entered
lands from the State in good faith, after
May 0, 1861, ought to be permitted to
re-enter, or to perfect their said entries,
The evidences of such entries, such a?
certificates ought to be received as evi
dence of payment, and other certificates
issued therefor. In this way parties maj
be protected in their rights. For thesr
lands were entered and paid for, some it
specie, a large amount in swamp laud serif
or warrants, and other large amounts witl
State and Confederate currency.
Your committee believe it will be wel
to suspend the sales of all the State land!
tor two years, and until further legislatioi
thereon. And in the mean time, that tin
offices, as consolidated, be sot in order
That the maps and plats be corrected, fo
it is evident that many errors exist on thi
present maps and plats. That books bi
opened and a record made, giving an ac
curate and correct history of each am
every piece of land heretofore sold by tin
i State; and that parties holding irregula
and imperfect evidences of title, have tiur
and opportunity to perfect the same.
The State ought not to grant such title
to her citizens as will compel them to ex
pensive lawsuits to adjust the same. Thi
is not only ruinous to individuals, but en
genders a want of confidence in our land
titles and retards immigration.
Besides, there is but a limited deman<
for lands now. Taxes are higher than hi
fore the revolution, and owners are les
able to pay. However, during the tim
these sales shall be suspended, actual sc(
tiers ought to be permitted to file proc
and application for pre-emption as hereto
fore. This will induce, rather than retard
settlement and cultivation of these land;
and will remove all objections that migli
bo to the proposed suspension of sales.
DONATION LANDS.
Your committee recommend the repot
and total abolishment of existing donatio
laws. They recommend such legislatio
: as will enable the State to bold the land;
once forfeited i'or non-payment of taxes
I just as other btate lands, to be nereaite
sold at such prices as will produce a fun
for educational, or other purposes, allowin
the owner; or h's heirs, within a specific
time, to redeem the same. Tho preset)
donation laws have been so abused an
perverted, as to produce little good, bu
much confusion and embarrassment i
land titles.
INTERNAL IMRROVEMENT AND OTIIE
LANDS.
Your committee have ascertained that
large amount of the proceeds of the Intel
nal Improvement, Common School, (l(it
Sec ,) Saline and Seminary lauds of th
State, is yet unpaid, though long sine
due. And while the State ought at thi
time to extend the time of payment, th
purchaser should be required to renew th
notes and pay the interest that may acci
mulatc-annually, or the lands revert to th
State. Tley further recommend in thi
connection that no interest be collected e
charged on any such indebtedness froi
May 6th 1861, to January 1st, 1867
They ask time to prepare a bill in aeeoi
dance therewith.

The Meteoric Display in Engi.ani
The editor of the London Telegraph i
very enthusiastic about tbe meteors
and describes the phenomenon, a sigli
of which was denied to us. after th
following fashion : He remarks that tli
meteors “looked like no earthly lire
works, but rather resembled silve
birds wending their way one after an
other to some mysterious star-hcronr
in tbe firmament—or if not birds, the
the forehead-planets of angels and arcli
angels, summoned in splendid cohort
and regiments to vast service of Got
. and hastening with the lamp of thei
I tvorld lighted to the divine rendezvous

Large Capacity, great strength and
unequalled speed, simplicity and
completeness of operation,
are qualities peculiar to
THE NONPAREIL
Washing Machine.
It is a Squeezing Machine construct
| ed ou strictly mechanical principles, and the
i experience derived from five years' extensive
\ use in families, hotels and public institutions
: proves it to be of lasting value to the purchaser.
The manner of operating the Nonpareil, by
rotary motion acting on a crank-shaft (with
balance wheel.) which moves the plungers al
ternately, is the simplest, least laborious, and
most powerful that can be devised for the pur
pose, and accomplishes the work with the
greatest rapidity and the least possible labor.
The great speed with which the machine per
forms work will be understood from the state
ment that it is geared Jo give six strokes of the
plungers for one turn of the handle, or, when
worked leisurely, about four hundred strokes j
in a minute. Safety to the fabric washed is !
insured by the entire absence of rubbing.
A girl ow»boy of fifteen can work the ma
chine, and do a week’s washing for a family
of six or eight persons in two to three hours'
time: and it maybe relied on to cleanse the
clothing thoroughly, without assistance from hand
nibbing.
