RELATING TO BOUNTY LANDS, HALF-PAY AND COMMUTATION, AND TO THE ASSUMPTION OF THE PAYMENT OF THE HALF-PAY CLAIMS OF VIRGINIA BY THE GENERAL GOVERNMENT, PER ACT OF CONGRESS, APPROVED JULY 5, 1832.

CONGRESS, by acts of the 16th and 18th of September, 1776, and others subsequent thereto, stipulated grants of land to the officers and soldiers of the Continental army, and to certain officers of the medical department. At that period, Congress had no land at its disposal, for all of it belonged to the States; and it would have been compelled to purchase lands to make good its contracts, had it not been for the liberality of the States.
