LAND FRAU0S. Vliolenlt Swindle** In Oregon^-- A Bill to Reclaim tli« l.Hnds. [Washington telegram.] The President sent to both houses of ongreas, on Tuesday, a communication rom the Secretary of the Interior, with a aass of testimony relatine to a grant of mblic lands to the State of Oregon or the construction of wagon roads. The presentation of the facts by the Secretary, the President says, is the result |f an examination which has developed, is it seems to the President, "the most unblushing frauds upon the Government, crhich, if remaining unchallenged, will di-, ert several hundred thousand acres ot d from the public domain, and from the ach of honest settlers, to those who*have ,ttempted to prevent and prostitute the nelicent designs of the Government, e Government sought, by tho promise of nerous donations of land, to promote building of wagon roads for public con- ience, and for the purpose of encour- ng settlement upon the public lands, e roads have not yet been built, and et an attempt is made to claim the lands nder a title which depends for its validity intirely upon tbe construction of theso oads." A bill accompanied the communi- ation. which the President submits with he recommendation that it may become a aw, and with the earnest hope that the op- ortunity thus presented to demonstrate a sincere desire to preserve the public domain for settlers, and to frustrate unlawful at­ tempts to appropriate the same, may not be neglected.
