A real estate ‘operator in this city recently eatered into a negotistion for the exchange of some of his property in Cook County for about 1,500 acres of jand in Dickinson County, Towa. An sbstract of title to the Iowa property was furnished, commenzing with the title in ths county, brt not showing how . the county sc- quired ownerahip, Fromthereon downeverything eeemed to bs properly shown and regular. The persoa making the exchange was ‘ascartained ta be quite wealthy, snd tha Chicago party, while Dot fully satisfied, or at least wondering why the thstract should slmply commence with the title in the comnty, still being astisfied with the grantor's responeibility, decided to sccept & deed. When the deed was temdered, however, it proved to be a special warranty. " The Chicago party then positively declined ta complete ' the negotiation without fully satiafying himself that the chain was perfect from the United Staies oetant to the alleged ownar, snd therefore wrote to responribis rneys to a thorough search and report.” The following is an éxtract from their lettar covering the point in question : ‘Defuse all lands coming from Dickinson County thu: cannot be traced through ker to the Thite: Did:inlf’u Co\u;t_\', in mh:u‘g day, expecting 4o et title to a large quanhity. swzmp lands in her limits, deeded by quit-claim wll her rights end title in cxpectatiey to these Iands to ons John H. Prestcots aod othors. The ewcmp-land selectiona were not approved by Goverzment, zod the county consequently got no title, To settle tho ?ueabun beyond a dnnm tbe connty has recontly had ihess transfers et aede.” s Accompanying this lettar was a list giving the nemes of tho actual owners of the proporty, none of which. corresponded with thoss far nithad in tho abstract. Of course, there was vothing to do but to coass furirer negotiasions. The cbject of this ctsiement is not to convey tho imnression that the alleged ownsr of the Iowa proparty willfally intended to convey-land which did Dot belong .to him, for he possibly . thouzht that his title was a guod one, but it is to call sitention to tho necessity thal exists for parties contemplating the parchase of Towa lands to bave in every instance a most thoroagh seurch instituted from the Coveroment to the proposed grantor. Vo do nct understand that the County of Dickinson is the only one in which sach’ cir- cumetances are likely to occur, bot that the swamp-land tilles, 9o cailed, havg over soms of the choicest property in the State, and ‘while %0 mnck Jows land is being offered for sale or sxe chaage for Cricsgo property or we deem it prop~ er 1o submit the above facts for the guidance and cooeideration of ourreaders. One of the worst features of this case is the “evident con- nivancs of the County Becorder in giving such sbatracts without the adverss tilles.

THE TITLES TO OUR REAL ESTATE. To the Edior of Ths Chicago Tribune: CrcAgo, May 14.—In areport of the lecturs of one of .our lawyers on the * Abstracts of Titles,” it appears the lecturer, after tracing title to thé United States, remarked that we ‘were usually satisfisd with these sources; bui, | if we demand a complete chain, we should have the Proclamation iof Discovery, the Grant of the King and his Council, the Treaty of Pesce, ete. Butis the lectarer sure he went back far enongh ? Where did . the King of England get his nghtto the land in {his country? The answer is, by discovery. ' But this snawer will not stand the test. A few Englishmen, with others, sailed for this country. which was full of mople, and becaunse they did 8o, forsooth, tho King of England owned all the land from the Atlantio to the Pacific Qcean! Does not the bare statement of the proposition carry its 'own Tefutation? No doubt, citations can bs made from writers on the Iawa of nations, justifying such & claim, but those writers felt under a moral ‘obligation to dopend, 80 far as posmble, the practices of their own movereigns. Besides, ‘a distinction muss be taken botween wrose laws of. nations founded - upon the law of nature, snd those which may be considered as tho record custom of nations, The rtight of title tolandis not founded on any lsw of nature. That law o8 only ooccapsncy or labor, a8 forming foundation for the titls to property d, provious to ita passiog from ons to another.

But if he migrated to an- other country, inhabited by a different race of people, ha did not immediately own that eoun- o fact is; our titles, if we ars to go bshind TUncle Sam, will ot bear s logical examination ; ‘based less upon right than npon assumption and acquiescence. : _The title of the Indians bas never been recog- nized ns ln_vlhin% but a possessorytitle. 8o far, 20 good.
