LAND STEALERS.
How the Public Domain
Was Squandered.
METHODS OF LAND PIRATES.
Very Lively Paper
From the Hands of the Hon.
George W. Julian.
The following Bcathing and crush
ing of the methods of land
stealing under Republicanism will be
read with interest. If is from the
pen of Mr. Julian, Surveyor-General
of New Mexico. Mr. Julian says:
In Die October number of the
North American Review, Stephen W.
Dorsey makes what he calls a "re
joinder" to my article on "Land
Stealing in New Mexico." I find it a
palpable misnomer, for lie does rot
attempt to reply to the mass of facts
which constitute my indictment
against the rogues of this Territory.
A brief notice of his performance may,
however, be deemed proper. In some
| respects Mr. Dorsey is a formidable
antagonist. He once held a seat in
| the National Senate from tho
State of Arkansas, where he will
long be remembered as the genius
who happily blended in himself the
traits both of the carpet-bagger and
the scalawag. He has held 'high
places and wielded large powers as a
party loader. He has shown uncom
mon ability in exploiting the mail ser
vice of the United States and eluding
the hands of justice. Probably no
man in the Union is so thoroughly
•.acquainted wi'h tho whole business
of "hind stealing." In this interest
ing field of activity I believe he has
a national reputation as an expert.
His selection as the apologist and de
fender of the tribe of which lie is the
acknowledged chief, is therefore al
together appropriate, and their cause
will have to be abandoned as utterly
hop 'less if he is not able to defend it.
Mr. Dorsey damages his case in the
outset by his bad temper. It is not a
symptom of innocence. His personal
abuse is too fervant and emotional.
He should have remembered that the
spaniel under the lash only yelps
when it is touchingly applied. The
article to which he pretends to reply
was dispassionately written. I only
referred to individuals where my task
made it necessary, dealing entirely in
facts; and if Mr. Dorsey had kept
cool, and applied himself honestly to
the work of answering them, he
might have had the sympathy, if not
the respect, of tbe public.
He also weakens his ease by drag
ging parly polities into the discussion.
He has done this without any provo
cation whatever. His efforts to show
that Democrats, as well as Republi
cans, ate involved in the exposures I
have made, is not a response to any
thing I said. I have no dispute with
him on that point. My article is tho
roughly n -n-partisan. In overhauling
the frauds connected with Sp.mi h
, aud Mexican grants in New
Mexico, I struck right and left,
pursuing every ttglv fact into its
hiding place, without the least con
cern as to whether it would damage
this party or that. I think the pur
pose of Mr. Dorsey in thus wandering
away from the real issue is perfectly
transparent. He has become tired
of hanging on the outer wall of poli
tics and hopes to regain his lost place
of power in the Republican party. I
sympathise with him in his distress,
but he will find himself utterly dis
appointed. The days of his political
glory are past, because, as lam con
vinced, the leaders and masses of all
parties regard him as hopelessly pil
loried before the nation as a Star
Route thief. He smells of the peni
tentiary, and no fumigation is possi
ble. To every honest man in the
Republic the mere mention of his
name suggests the striped costume of
r- the crew whose fellowship he escaped
through the miscarriage of public
justice.
Mr. Dorsey damages his case still
more fatully by his absolute reckless
pjess in dealing with matters of fact.
In attacking me personally he suc
ceeds in missing the truth in over
statement he makes. In pretending
to give my pedigtee, for instance, he
. says that nearly fifty years ago I was
elected to office as a pro-slavery Dem
ocrat, and that, defeated for re-olec
tion, I left my party. He also says
that after I had posed as a Free Soiler
I became a Conservative Whig.
These ridiculous statements will only
provoke tbe laughter of my old
friends. He knows that after begin
ning my political life as a Whig I be
came a member and a leader of the
Free Soil party in 1818, and
so continued till it was merged
with the Republican party in
1856; and that I remained in that
party till the Greeley campaign of
1872, when I joined its fathers and
fpunders in walking out of it on ac
count of its shameless misdeeds, in
which Mr. Dorsey was disgracefully
conspicuous. He says that "in my
eye, there was no public crime of
which Ulysses S. Grant was not
guilty," and that to his personal
knowledge I denounced General Gar
field at eveyy cross-road in Indiana,
as a "thief," a "bribe-taker," a
"bribe-giver," and a "perjurer." The
extravagance of these statements de
stroys them, and Mr. Dorsey knew
them to be bare fabrications when he
penned them. I have in past years
criticised the administration of Gen
eral Grant and some of the acts of
General Garfield, but in doing so I
did not appear in tho role of a black
guard, in which Mr. Dorsey is always
a very shining figure. I refer to these
and kindred fabrications about myself
sololy as illustrations of the marvel
ous bent of his mind towards the
habit of lying, and not by any means
in self defense. In this case Mr.
Dorsey is the defendant aud culprit,
and I frankly confess myself hopeless
ly lost if 1 need to bo defended against
any conceivable charges emanating
Irom such a source. They can only
tend to enthrone me in the hearts of
all honest men. .
He asserts that mainly through my |
exertions nearly 100 citizens of New [
Mexico have been indicted for
land frauds, and that every man tried
has been acquitted. He says,
"There is not a grain or shadow of
truth that there has been, or are vow,
frauds committed to auy extent in
New Mexico under the homestead and
preemption laws." Mr. Dorsey makes
Gulliver respectable. As to his "400
citizens of New Mexico,'.' (if there
were so many) he knows that I had
nothing wdiatever to do wiih their in
dictment, and that this was tho work
of the Grand Juries, aided by the Dis
trict Attorney and the special agents
of the Government. He knows, also,
that quite a number of these men
were convicted, and that the great
body of them escaped solely through
the saving grace of the statute of
limitation, which innocent men
would not have pleaded. The proof
of their guilt was ample, and no man
knows this better than Mr. Dora y,
who is exceedingly familiar with the
work of acquiring title to the public
lands through the perjury and suborn
ation of perjury of scullions and dum
mies employed for this service. In
this prostitution of our land laws to
the base uses of theft and plunder,
I do not speak at random, but on
the authority of ascertained facts. I
shall only refer to the proceedings
of a single term of the United
States Court held in Santa Fe last
spring. On the trial o: numerous per
ties for perjury and subornation of
perjury in procuring land titles, and
conspiracy to defraud the Government
through the corrupt use of our land
laws, eighty-eight persons availed
themselves of the statute of limitations
and thus confessed their guilt. The
testimony developed the fact that
many of these men had been paid
from five to ten dollars each to sign
certain title papers, and that they
never saw the land and never
attempted to occupy or improve it.
while the men who hired
them to swear falsely sod
the tracts to an lowa cattle
company. AU this is well known to
Mr. Dorsey, and that these men
would not have escaped the peniten
tiary if tho Republican officials of the
Territory had done their duty in se
eming indictments iv season. But
Mr. Dorsey says "there is not a grain
or shadow of truth" in tho charge
that land frauds have been committed
in New Mexico "to any extent." In
speaking of an accomplished scoun
drel of the last century, Thomas Car
lyle says: "There was not truth
enough iv him to make a real lie of."
I SU«pect that Mr. Dorsey is his lineal
descendant.
Hut hear him further. In speaking
of tbe right of the citizen to take 160
acres of land, and pay for it as desig
nated by law at the rate of $2.25 per
acre, he says: "The person entering
this hind must swear that he is doing
it for his own use and benefit, and
not with the view of selling it." This
is true, but in the cases just cited,
which are mere samples of New Mex
ican fraud?., the men who pretended
to enter their tracts swore falsely, and
the lands passed at once into the
clutches of a cattle company, just
as Mr. Dorsey is well understood
to have secured the title to
his lands on the Una de
Gato Grant, and he defends
his disgraceful perversion of the
pre-emption law. He says: "Before
the title passes to the pre-emptor he
pays the Government the price of the
land," and that "tbe Government is
not defrauded." It is true the Gov
ernment does not lose the price of the
land, and, therefore, according to this
logic, if Mr. Dorsey can hire one hun
dred middle-men for a few dollars
each to acouire that many quarter
sections of land by perjury, and con
vey them to him, it is a legitimate
business. The pre-emption law, it is
true, only permits one person to ac
quire"on ) hundred and sixty acres of
laud, but on the Dorsey plan he can
acquire one hundred thousand, and
that law 7 thus becomes the instrument
through which tho great curse of
monopoly, which it wat designed
>o prevent, is fastened upon the couu
try. Everybody knows that tho pre
empt ion law subordinates the question
of revenue to the policy of actual set
tlement and tillage in small home
steads. When it was passed, in 1841,
the Treasury was full to overflowing
from the proceeds of sales of the pub
lic lands in large bodies for specula
tive purposes, thus finally hindering
the settlement and development of
the country. After a long wrangle
in Cougress our ugly "surplus" was
divided among the States and we
entered upon a new dispensation, in
spired by the purpose thereafter to
dedicate the public lands to the use
of the landless men who would
personally appropriate them in
limited allotments. Not revenue,
but the settlement of the lands
was the dominating policy; and this
was afterwards still more strongly
emphasized iv the passage of the
homestead law. But the moral vision
of Mr. Dorsey sees nothing wrong in
nullifying both these laws, and mak
ing them tbe engines of monopoly and
robbery, through the detestable agen
cies of bribery and perjury. As I have
shown, he denies, absolutely, that any
frauds have been committed under
them in New Mexico, and then braz
enly defends the very villainies I have
charged upon him and his kind. Such
is the gospel of "land stealing" ac
cording to St. Stephen. It is Dorsey
ism, pure and simple, in its unveiled
ghastllness; and I turn away from it
and mercifully draw the curtain over
it while I proceed with my task.
He asserts that I have charged tbe
Supreme Court of the United States
with joining hands with the plunder
ers of the public domain. ' There is
not a seutence or word in my article
which can bo tortured into any such
meaning, and Mr. Dorsey, who care
fully read it for the purpose of reply,
knows this to be true.
He says that my article implies that
all the Secretaries of the Interior
from 1861 to 1785, all the CcJmmis
sioners of the General Land Office,
and all my predecessors in oiiiee,
were dishonest and corrupt men.
This statement is a gross exaggeration,
and it is, moreover, a mere begging
of the question. Quite a number
of the officials referred to are involved
in my exposure, and the records of
the Government will identify them.
Are my facts authentic? Mr. Dorsey
makes no attempt to controvert them,
which he certainly would have done
if he had been able, but with uplifted
hands and the whine of a convict,
begs that the officials whom I have
arraigned as his accomplices shall be
shielded from the right of search.
Mr. Dorsey says the Committee on
Public Lands of the House of Repre
sentatives during the time I was its
chairman, reported favorably bills
granting land to railroad corporations
covering more than half of all the land
granted to railroads in the United
States which bills passed Congress as
a result of such reports. In these
statements he does not refer to the
vast areas granted to our great Trans-
Continental railways.respecting which
he makes no charges against me. He
speaks onlyof the fertile land granted in
Illinois, lowa aud other Western
States, which were not granted to rail
road corporations at all, but to the
States themselves. The entire aggre-1
of these lands was a small frac-1
tion only of tho many millions granted
to our Pacific railways by bills re
ported from the Committee on Pacific
Railroads, aud not by the Committee
on Public Lands. Mr. Dorsey
should also have remembered
that even as to these moderate grants
for which he holds me responsible,
I had only one vote as a member of
the committee, a majority of which
made the report, and that I could not,
of course, be made responsible for the
action of the two houses of Congress
on tho passage of the bills reported.
Moreover, Mr. Dorsey, himself, says
i the land grants in these cases "were
LOS ANGELES HERALD: SUNDAY MORNING. JANUARY 29. 1888.
for the best interests of the whale
country," and thus defends my ac
tion. But, let me admit, for the sake
of the argument, that some of my
votes are indefensible. Does that
prove that he is not a land stealer?
Mr. Dorsey further holds me re
sponsible for the provision in all our
railroad grants compelling the settlers
on the reserved sections to pay $2 50
per acre for their lands instead of the
ordinary price, $1.25 per acre. He
says "I thus added more than two
hundred millions of dollars to
the burden of the settlers who sought
homes along the proposed lines
of the railways," while I put an addi
tional "two hundred millions of dol
lars into the pockets of the railroad
lob >y." I think lam safe in saying
that" this example of parliamentary
almightiness lias no parallel in the
annals of the civilized w»rld. Both
houses of Congress and the President
of the United States were my play
things, and mv diabolism had full
sweep from 1850. when the first land
grant was made, till I left Congress in
1871! Such flashes of imbecilify ate
really somewhat dazzling and specta
tular". but life is too short to be wasted
in a fight with dissolving views.
f must not conclude these illustra
tions of the ethical side of Mr. Dor
sey's character without noticing the
display he makes of himself in con
nection with the Una de Gato grant,
in which he is personally involved.
This is what I said on that subject in
my article:
"The area of this grant, according
to Mi. Dorsey, its chairman, was near
ly 000 000 acres. It was reserved
from settlement, and is so reserved
to-day by the act of 1854, but when
the forgery of the grant was demon
strated in 1879 and he thought it un
safe to rely upon that title, ho deter
mined to avail himself of the home
stead and pre-emption laws. This he
could not legally do, because the land
was reserved ; but the Commissioner
of the General land Office was touched
by his misfortune.andin defiance of the
law rdered the land to bo surveyed
and opened to settlement. Mr. Dor
soy, who was already in possession of
thousands of acres of the choicest
; lands in the tract, at once sent out his
squad of henchmen, who availed
themselves of the forms of the pre
empt'on and homestead laws in ac
quiring pretended titles, which were
conveyed to him according to the ar
rangements previously agreed upon.
No record of this unauthorized action
of the Commissioner is to be found in
tho Land Office, What was done
was done verbally and iv the dark,
and nothing is now known
of the transaction but the
fact of its occurrence, and tbe inti
mate relations then existing between
Mr. Dorsey and the Commissioner
and his Chief of Surveyors. Of
course, he and his associates in this
business have no title to the lands
thus acquired, and their entries should
lie cancelled, not only because the
land was reserved from sale by act of
Congress, but because the entries
were fraudulently made, as will be
shown by investigations now in pro
gress."
These are exactly tho facts as shown
by official documents. Now, how
does Mr. Dorsey answer me? Upon
investigating the title of this grant he
says he became convinced it was
fraudulent. When did he make this
investigation and reach this conclu
sion ? The records of my office and of
the Interior Department give no an
swer to the question. They do not show
that he ever made au investigation,
but the contrary. He says he wrote
to the Hon. Carl Schurz, then Secre
tary of the Interior, stating substan
tially all the facts in his possession
granting the grant, and asked him to
send a special agent to make a care
ful investigation, and turned over to
the Secretary all the papers in his
possession. Unfortunately for Mr.
Dorsey these statements are unsup
ported by the roc jrds of tho Land
Department and contradicted by them.
They show that bo persisted in his
claim for years following the iirst
agi ation of tho validity of his title,
and up to January, 1879, when the
forgery of the grant was demonstrated.
He did nothing whatever in instigat
ing the inquiry which led to this
demonstration, wbicti inquiry was set
on foot by Lewis ICingtnan and Heury
W. Arms in tho year 1877. The papers
show that he was displeased with their
inter-meddling with his title,anil that
it was solely at the instance of those
men that the Laud Office directed an
investigations to be made. In the light
of these facts the reader can judge for
ltimself as to Mr. D.irsey's reverence
for the truth when he says: "I ex
posed tbe fraudulent nature of the
grant with which Mr. Julian attempted
to link mv name unfavorably I" The
audacity of this statement is fascinat
ing. It is charmingly Satanic, and it
settles the fact that Mr. Dorsey, in
his way, is a genius.
But lie says he applied to the Sec
retary of the Interior to have tho land
within the bounds of thre fraudulent
grant thrown open for settlement, and
that it was done accordingly. This is
what I said in my article; but I
stated, further, that the Land Depart
ment hail no power to do this. One
Surveyor-General had pronounced the
grant valid, aud another had de
clared it to be a forgery. Congress
alone could determine tho question,
and the land was absolutely reserved
by law in tho meantime. Secretary
Schurz and Commissioner William
son knew this perfectly, and for this
reason, doubtless, no written order
for the survey and salo of these lands
was made, and the business was
done "in the dark."
Nor is there any mystery about thiß
action. Mr. Dorsey was then a power
in politics. He bad neared the sum
mit ot his remarkable ascendency.
It was in the following years (1880)
that his genius lighted the way to
national victory for the Republicans,
for which he was banqueted aud lion
ized as "the Napoleon who carried
Indiana." When such a man wanted
the Republican officials of the Land
Department to violate the law to en
able him to appropriate a large body
of public lands in furtherence of his
rapacity, they did not dare say no,
and the robbery "was done." Mr.
Dorseyjknows all this,but makes n> de
fence." He admits the action of the Land
Department, in response to his re
quest, but stands mute as to its ille
gality. He kuows, and so do Carl
Schurz and J. A. Williamson, that
that action was lotally unauthorized
and sneakingly performed, and that
the lands acquired by him and his
allies under an illegal order now
rightfully belong to the United States.
Iv these statements I am supported
by the records of tho Government,
and no lawyer will attempt to contro
vert them. In such a dilemma as
this, Mr. Dorsey should have re
mained silent, both on his own ac
count and in the interest of parties
claiming title under him.
Mr. Dorsey concludes his paper
with a digression upon the water sup
ply of New Mexico, and its "physical
phenomena of climate and topo
graphy;" and he insists that with very
slight exceptions, the land is fit only
for grazing and mining. This is not
the conclusion of a disinterested ex
plorer and devotee of science, after
patient investigation, but the plea of
a land stealer, seeking to make the
j physical peculiarities of the country
I the scape-goat of his sins. The way
faring man, though a fool, can see
this. If he could make the public
believe that New Mexico is worth
less for agriculture, it would go far
to exonerate him from the charge
\of robbing the Government and
' plundering poor settlers through
I the machinery of the homestead and
' pre-emption laws. It would also tend
:to smooth his way to still more for
' midable. schemes of robbery as a great
j cattle king, through which he and bis
i confederates could trample down and
| crush out both the stock-grower of
small means and the homesteader,
and thus bring the people of the Ter
ritory more completely under the rake
of a grand Brotherhood of Thieves.
The trouble with Mr. Dorsey is that
he believes the people tod stupid to
see through the game he is playing. It
does not occur to him that owing to his
unfortunate survival of his own cons
cionca nobody will except either
his theories or his facts. Although
his reputation for brilliant aud suc
cessful rascality is continental, he im
pudently takes the witness stand, as
if he expected the public to believe
him. Ho is, perhaps, the most pic
turesque political reprobate now on
public exhibition; but he seems
wholly unconscious of the fact that
the interest felt in him is
purely historic and post
mortem, and that the people only
desire to get some idea of his moral
physiognomy, and what may be
called tho scenery of his career. I
trust I have done them some service
in this direction ; but it has been the
chief purpose of this paper to pene
trate the dry rot of his self-compla
cency, and by a little wholesome
vivisection to help him catch at h ast
a glimpse of his read lineaments as
others see them, and as indelibly
painted by himself in the sober pig
ment of his evil deeds. If I have
failed in these friendly offices it will
be Mr. Darsoy's misfortune, and not
my fault.
George W. Julian.
California Tetter.
Editor Gazette: It has now been
nearly four months since I left my
eastern home in Indiana and came to
the State of California. Like the ma
jority of those who migrate to this
wonderland, I was not favorably im
pressed with it upon my arrival, ev
erything s j emed so strange and un
natural, but such feelings passed
away from ■me with the same rapid
ity fiat I familiarized myself with my
adopted country and its people. All
the disgusting things soon turned in
to things of admiration, and I will
freely and candidly confess, in the
op >ning lines of this letter, that I am
now thoroughly in love with the
beautiful Golden State.
The climate of Southern California
is all that could be desired. It ismild
and even every month in the year, the
mercury in tho thermometer some
times running as high as 02 at noon
time in the <lays of mid-summer,
though the evenings are always cool
and bracing, while it seldom falls be
low :'»<; during the coldest weather of
January. On this, Christmas day,
ladies are walking through the beau
tiful parks and blooming gardens
under tbe shade of parasols. Storms
and cvclonesand blizzards never come
to California. While the rainfall is
rare and unusual from April till
November, yet copious streams of '
pure and clear water, flowing down
from the mountain reservoirs and
from deep driven wells, may be turned
all over the low and level lands at the
will of the irrigator. Of course people
get sick aud die here as in other
countries, but not, a few invalids,
apparently on the brink of tbe grave,
have come to California for rest and
relief, and after bteathing our soft
and bahnv air they feel quite confi
dent of a long and healthy life and of
a delightful old age.
Nor is Southern California less re
markable for her natural wealth.
Aside from her rich deposits of silver
and gold, the marvelous producing
powers of her soil, even surpassing
and going far beyond those of the
Mississippi valley, are such as can bo
found in no other region on the globe.
Raising nearly everything that is pro
duced in tho temperate zone, she also
grows in teeming abundance citius
fruits, olives, tigs, bananas, English
walnuts, persimmons, limes, lemons
aud oranges, at every month of the
year. Not only do these valuable
productions supply in a great meas
ure the demands of the various mar
kets throughout the United States,
but they are exported across the ocean
to the distant nations beyond.
The great cent, r of this powerful
region is Los Angeles, situated about
eighteen miles from the ocean beach
on the west, and about the same dis
tance from the mountain range on
the east. Her people represent nearly
all races and nationalities, and in
color are black, white, yellow, red,
and quite a number of them are
green. The lower classes of tbe for
eign element, however, inhabit the
old adobe buildings of China and
Sonora towns, and are not permitted
to mingle in the society of the na
tive citizens, who are intelligent, in
dustrious and affable, and who re
ceive all visitors with open hands and
hearts. The streets of Los Angeles
are clean and beautiful, aud many
of them are shaded and ornamented
on either side by pepper trees,
magnolias, eucalyptus, century
plants, giant cactus, spreading palms,
and other lovely trees and plants pe
culiar to this climate. Her churches
and school buildings art! numerous,
her business blocks are solid and sub
stantial, and her dwellings are as fine
and artistic as any the country con
tains. Having snore than doubled
her population iv the past three years,
she now has nearly 75,000 people.
To-day she is a regular bee hive.
Strangers are blockading her "streets
and crowding her hotels, and when
we learn that $18,000,000 is now on
deposit in her banks, awaiting invest
ment, it is rather difficult for us to be
lieve with a few Eastern papers that
our boom is about "busted."
Under these hapyy and auspicious
circumstances moneyed men in the
East are continually pouring into
Southern California. They realize
the fact that the constant, rapid raise
in the value of real estate property
gives them a rare opportunity to in
crease and multiply their fortuues,
and to wallow in wealth and roll in
riches. The records in the Recorder's
office show that the real estate trans
fers, even in Los Angeles county
alone, sometimes amount to $4,000,
--000 per week.
While this country is very inviting
tocapital.it is equally attractive to
labor. Mechanics, skilled and un
■ skilled, fare especially well. Carpen
ters, brickmasons, decorators, paint
. era and paper-hangers are in great
■ demand at remunerative wages.
■ Many of them came hero a few years
' ago worth comparatively nothing, but
by industry, economy and good man
agement they have accumulated vast
: fortunes and are now able to enjoy a
life of ease and idle luxury.
But I have already extended this
letter far beyond my original pur
pose. I will add, however, that I ex
pect to make my present and future
nome here in this beautiful City of
the Angels, where I shall always be
greatly gratitied to meet my old
friends and neighbors of Hoosierdom.
Wishing them all a merry Christmas,
a happy New Year and a pleasant
winter, I am as ever,
Portland C. Hunt.
