when admitted into the Union,  . . .  shall also retain all the 
vacant and unappropriated lands lying within its limits, to be 
applied to the payment of debts and liabilities of said Republic of 
Texas, and the residue of said lands, after discharging said debts 
and liabilities, to be disposed of as said State may direct.  . . ."
