VETO. The President Declines to Approve the Bill Authorizing the Sale of Mineral Lands in Atontana to a Mining Company. WASHINGTON, June 15.—The follow,Lng i-eto message was to-day sent by the Presi dent: 2o the Senate of the United States: The bill entitled "An act to enable New York and Montana Iron Mining and Manufacturing Company.to purchase a certain amount of the public lands not now in market," is herewith returned to the Senate in which it originated,with the objections which induce me tomithhald my approval. By the terms of this bill the New York and Montana Iron Mining and .Manufac turing Company are authorized at any time within one year alter • the date of approval to pre-empt two tracts of land in the Terri tory of Montana. not exceeding in the aggregate twenty motions, and not included in any Indian reservation, min any Govern- Mein reservation for military or other par , poses. Three of these sections may be selected for lands containing iron ore and coal, and the remainder from timber land lying near thereto. These selections are to be made under regulations from the Secre tary of the Interior, and be subject to his approval. The company, on the selection of the lands, may acquire immediate possession by permanently making their boundaries and publishing descriptions thereof in any two newspapers of general circulation in the Territory of Montana. -aiitatents are to be issued on the performance s within two years, of the following conditions: First—The lands to be surveyed at the expense of the company, and each tract to be.' EIS nearly in a square form as may be practicable." • Second—The company to furnish evidenole satisfactory to the Secretary of the Interior that they have erected, and have in opera tion in one or more places on said lands, iron works capable of manufacturing at least fifteen hundred tons of iron per annum Third—The company to have paid for sail lands the minimum price of one dollar and twenty-five cents per acre. It is also pro• Tided that the "patents shall convey no title to any mineral lands, except iron and coal, orto any lands held by right of possession, or by any other title, except. Indian title, valid at the time of the selection of the lands." The company are to have the privileges of ordinary pre-empdons, and be subject to the same restrictions as such pre-emptions with reference to wood and timber on the lands, with the exception of so mach as may be necessarily used in the erection of buildings and in the legitimatebusiness of manufactur ing iron. The parties upon whom these pri vileges are conferred, are designated in the bill as "The New York and Montana Iron' Mining and Manufacturing Company." Their names and residences not being dis closed, it must be inferred that this company is a corporation which, under color of corpo rate powers derived from State or Territo rial legislative authority, proposes to carry on the business of mining and manufactur ing iron, and to accomplish these ends seeks this grant of public land in Montana. Two questions thus arise, viz : whether the privi leges the bill would confer should be grant ed to any person or persons; and secondly, whether, if unobjectionable in other re spects, they should be conferred upon a cor poration. The public domain is a national trust, set apart and held for the general welfare upon principles of equal justice, and not to be be stowed as a special-privilege upon a favored class. The proper rules for the disposal of public land have from the earliest period been the subject of earnest inquiry, grave discussion and deliberate judgment. The purpose of direct revenue was the first ob ject, and this was obtained by public sale to the highest bidder, and subsequently by the right of private purchase at a fixed mini mum. It was soon discovered that the surest and most speedy means of promoting the wealth and prosperity of the country was by encouraging actual settlement and occu pation, and hence a system of pre-emption ..lights, resulting most beneficially in all the Western Territories. By progressive 'steps it has advanced to the homestead principle, securing to every head of a family; widow, and single man twenty-one years of age, and to every soldier who has borne arms for his country, a landed estate, sufficient, with industry, for the purpose of independent support. Without tracing the system of pre-emp tion laws through the several stages, it is sufficient to observe that it rests upon cer tain just and plain principles firmly estab lished in all our legislation. The object of these laws is to encourage the expansion of population and the development of agri cultural interests. Hence they have been invariably restricted to settlers. Actual re sidence and cultivation are made indispen sable conditions, and to guard the privilege from abuses of speculation or monopoly the law is rigid as to the mode [of establishing claims by adequate testimony with penal ties for perjury. Mining,trading or any pursuit other than culture of the soil is interdicted, mineral lands being: expressly excluded from pre emption privilege, excepting those contain ing coal, which, in quantities not exceeding one hundred and sixty acres, are restricted to individuals in actual possession and com merce, with an enhanced minimum of twenty dollars per acre. For a quarter of a century the quantity of land subject to agri cultural pre-emption has been limited so as not to exceed a quarter section, or one hun dred •and sixty acres; and still further to guard -against monopoly,_ the privilege of pre-emption is not allowed to any person who owns three hundred and twenty acres of land in any State or Territory of the United States, nor is any person entitled to more than one pre-emption right nor is- it ex tended to lands to which the Indians usu fruct has not been extinguished. To restrict the privilege within reasona ble limits, credit to the ordinary pre-emp tion on offered lands is not extended beyond twelve monthe, within which time the minimum price must be paid. Where the settlement is upon unoffered territory, the time for payment is limited to the day of public offering, designated by proclamation of the President; while to prevent deprecia tion of the lands by waste or destruction of what may constitute its value, penal enact ments have been made for the pm:dement of persons depredating upon public timber. Now supposing the New York and Mon tana Iron Mining and Manufacturing Com pany to be entitled to all the pre-emption rights which it has been foundjust and ex pedient to bestow upon natural persons, it will be seen that the privileges conferred by the bill in question ars in diriact conflict with every principle heretofore observed in respect to:the disposal of the public lands. The bill confers pre-emption right to minerallands,, which, excepting coal lands at an enhanced premium, have heretofore, as a general principle, been carefully ex cluded from pre-emption. The object of the company is not to cultivate the soil, or to promote agriculture, but is for the sole pur pose of mining and manufacturing; iron. The company is not limited, like ordinary pre-emptors, to one pre-emptnre claim of a -quarter section, but may pre-empt two bo dies of land, amounting in the aggregate to twenty sections, containing, 12,800 acres, or eighty ordinary individual pre-emption rights. The timber is not protected; bat, on the contrary, is devoted to speedy de struction. For, even before the consumma tionof title, the company are allowed to consume whatever may be necessary in the erection of buildings and the business of manufacturing iron. For these special privileges in controvention of the land .policy of so many years the company are required to pay only the minimum price of $125 per acre, or one-sixteenth of the estab- I .shed minimum, and are granted a credit .'f two years, or twice the time allowed or dinary pre-emptors of , offered land. Nor is this all the pre-emption right in question. It covers those sections of land containing iron ore and coal. The act passed on the let of July, 1864, made it lawful for the President to cause tracts, embracing coal beds or coal fields, to be offered at public sale, in suitable legal subdivisions, to the highest bidder, after public notice of not- less than threo months, at a minimum price of twenty dol lars per acre, and any lands not thus dis posed of were thereafter to be liable to pri vate entry at said minimum. By the act of March 3; 1865, the right of pre-emption to coal lands is granted to any citizen of the United States who, at date, was engaged in the business of coal mining on the public domain for the purposes of commerce; and he is authorized to enter, according to legal subdivisions, at the maximum price of twenty dollars per acre, a quantity of land not exceeding one hundred and sixty acres; to embrace his improvements and mining premises. Under these acts the minimum price of three sections of coal lands would be $38,400. By the bill now in question, three sec tions.containing coal and iron are bestowed on this company at the nominal price of $1 25 per acre, or $2,400, thus 'making a gratuity or gift to the New York and Mon tana Iron Mining and Manufacturing Com pany of $30,000. On what ground can such a gratuity to this company be especially`at a time when the burdens - of taxation bear so heavily on all classes of the people. Less than two years ago it j appears to have been the deliberate udg ment of CongresS that tracts of lands con taining coal-beds or coal-fields should be sold after three months' notice,to the bidder at public auction who would give the highest price over $2O per acre; and that a citizen engaged in the business of actual coal mining on the public domain should only secure a tract of_ 160 acres'at priVate entry, upon payment of $2O per acre, and formal and satisfactory proof that he in all respects came within the meaning of the statutes. It cannot be that the coal- fields of Mon tana have depreciated nearly twenty fold in value since July, 1864. So complete a 'revolution in the land policy as is mani fested by the act can only be ascribed, therefore, to an inadvertency which Con gress will, I trust, promptly correct. Be lieving that the pre-emption policy, so de liberately adopted, so long practised, so carefully guarded with a view to the dis posal of the public lands in a manner teat would promote the population and pros perity of the country, should not be per verted to the purposes contemplated by this bill, I would be constrained to with hold my sanction even if this company were, as natural persons, entitled to the privilege of ordinary pre-emptors for a cor poration, as the name and the absence of any designation of individuals would de note. The measure before me is liable to another fatal objection. Why should incorporate eompanies have the privileges of individual pre-emptors? What principle of justice requires such a policy? What motives of public policy can fail to condemn it? Lands held by corpo rations were regarded by ancient laws as held in mortmain, or by dead hand, and from the terms of Magna Charta corpora tions required the royal license tehold land, because such holding was • regarded as in derogation of public policy and common right. Pre-emption is itself a special privi lege, only authorized by its supposed pub lic benefit in promoting the settlement and cultivation of vacant territory, and in re warding the enterprise of the persons upon whom the privilege is bestowed "Preemp tion rights," as declared by the Supreme Court of the United States, "are founded in an enlightened public policy, rendered ne cessary by the enterprise of our citizens." The adventurous pioneer who is found in advance of our settlementsencounters many hardships, and not unfrequently dangers from savage incursions. He is generally poor, and it is fit that his enterprise should be rewarded by the privilege of purchasing the spot selected by him, not to exceed 160 acres. It may be said that this company, before they obtain a patent, must prove that within two years they have erected and have in operation in one or more places on the said lands iron works with with a capacity of manufacturing at least fifteen hundred tons of iron per annum. On the other hand they are to have posses sion for two years of more than twelve thou send acres of the choice land of the terri tory, of which nearly two thousand acres are to contain iron ore and coal, and over ten thousand acres to be of timber land se• levied by themselves. They will thus have the first and.exclusive choice; in fact, they are the only parties,who, at this time,woald have any privilege whatever in the way of obtaining titles in that territory, insomuch as Montana has not yet been organized into a land district. The general pre-emption laws for the benefit of individual settlers have not yet been extended to that country, nor has a single acre of public land in the territory yet been surveyed. With such ex clusive and extraordinary privileges, how many companies would be willing to under take furnaces that would produce five tons per day in much less than two years? It is plain that the pretended considera tion on which the patent is to issue bears unjust proportion to that of the ordinary pre-emptor, and that this bill is bat the pre cursor of a system of land distribution to a privileged class, tikequal, unjust, and which ought not to receive the sanction of the General Government. Many thousand pioneers have turned their steps to the Western-territory, seeking with their arms and children homesteads to be acquired by sturdy industry under the pre-emption laws. On their arrival they should not find the timber land and the tracts con taming iron and - coal' already surveyed and claimed by corporate companies, favored by special legislation of Congress, and with boundaries fixed even advance of the public survey, a- departure from the salutary provision requiring a set tler upon unsurveyed lands to limit the boundaries of his claims to the line of the public survey after they shall have been established. He receives a title only to a legal subdivision, including his residence and improvements. The survey of the com pany may not accord with that - which - wilt hereafter be made by the Government, while the patent that issues will be descriptive of and confer a title-to the tract as surveyed by the company. lam aware of precedents for granting su4ll exclusive rights to a manufacturing 1-. .1 pang for a nominal consideration. Con gress made concessions to railway compa nies ofalternate sections,within given limits, of the lines of their roads.; This policy origi rutted in the belief that thefacilities afforded by reaching the parts-of-the country remote from the great centres of population would expedite the settlement and sale of the pub lic domain. These incidental advantages were secured without , pecuniary loss to the Government, - by reason of the enhanced value of the reserved sections, which are held atthe double minimum price.

In view of the strong - ,.temptation to mono pollee the public lands, with the pernicious results, it would seem at least of doubtful expediency to lift, corporations above all competition with actual settlers, by author izing them to become purchasers of public THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN : PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY, JUNE 16, 1866.

For myself I am con vinced that the privileges of ordinary pre emptions ought not to be extendea to incorporated companies. A third objecoun may be mentioned, as it explemplifies the spirit in which special privileges are sought by incorporated corn panies. Land subject to Indian occupancy has always been scrupulously ea law from pre-emption settlement until than dian title shall be extinguished. In the tonna section of this bet, however, lauds ueld 13:y `'lndian title" are excepted from prohibition against the patent to be issued to the New York and Montana Iron Mining and Manu facturing Company. The bill peevioes cuct.t the patent "shall convey no title to any mineral lands except iron and coal, or-to any lands held by right of possession, or by any other title except Indian title, valid at the time of the selection of the said lands." It will be seen that, by the first section, lands in "Indian reservations" are ex cluded from individual pre-emption right; but by the fourth section the patent may cover any Indian title except a reservatiou. so that; no matter what may be the nature of the Indian title, unless it be a reserva tion, iris unprotected from the privilege conceded by this bill. Without further pressing the subject I return the bill to the Senate without my signature, 'and with the following as pro minent objections to its - becoming a law: First---That it gives to the New York and Montana Iron Mining and Manufactaring Company pre-emption privileges to iron and coal lands on a' large scale, and at the ordi nary minimum—a privilege denied to ordi nary pre-emptors. It bestows upon the company large' tracts of coal lands at one sixteenth of the minimum price required from ordinary pre-emptors. It also relieves the company from restrictionsimposed upon ordinary pre-emptorts in respeut to Lalider lands allows double the time for payment granted to pre-emptorson offered lanas, ana these privileges are for purposes not hereto fore authorized by the pre-emption laws, but for trade and manufacturing. Second—Pre-emption rights on such a scale to private corporations are unequal, and hostile to the policy and principles which sanction pre-emption laws. Thir d—The bill allows this company to take possession of land, use it, and acquire a patent thereto before the Indian title is extinguished, and thus violates the good faith of the Government towards the abo riginal tribes.
