The following correspondence will show
that the act of the laat Legislature of the
Territory, designating the County Commis
sioners at the proper person to enter Town
Rites, la not recoguixed by the Commissioner
of the Land Otlica.
It is a question of doubt whether the Judges
of Probate, or the. United State Judges, can
be regarded as "Judges of the County Court."
Aa toon as that doubt is removed, notice wi.l
be given. In the mean time no entering of
towns not incorporated can be made.
A copy of the act of the last Leglslatuie
will be placed in the hands of the Commis
sioner, and, under the circumstances, the en
trios already made mav he confirmed.
