From Washington.

WASHINGTON, March 9.-The late Congress
passed an act affecting the llumas grant, in
Louisiana, which has been i'll dispute for half
a century, and is worth more than five mil
lions of dollars. Those assuming to be the
grantees succeeded in obtaining patent in
1874 but two years after an authorized suit
was brought to test the validity of the title,
which Judge Campbell pronounced inopera-
tive and void. The lands thus became sub
iect to survey and sale. In June, 1858, not
withstanling the judicial proceeding, law
was passed, resulting, owing 10 it's phraseol-
ogv, to the benefit Of the grantees. But the
last act arrests the patent to them until the
end of the next Congressman i'll order that
meantime justice may be secured 10 the five
hundred or more settlers OH the grant

A curious case has come up for adjudiea,
ton in New York before Judge Davis, in the
Supreme Court. The plaintiff, Mr.. Robert
G. Nellis, sued to recover one thousand dol
lars from George Grouse and his wife Ann
1t would appear that Ann promised pla'ntlft
one thousand dollars if he could procure her
a husband. In accordance with which. he
had introduced several gentlemen t" the lady
one Of whom shs accepted. and isnow her
busband. She refused TO hand over the
bonus however and hence the present ae-
ton. The defendant demurred 10 the com
plant. on the ground that it did not state
facts sufficient to constitute a cause OF action.
Their counsel also contended that the clam
was illegal, and grew out OF SYSTEM ol mat !,
rimonial brokerage. not only not recognized
by common Law. but void. as being against
good morals. The Judge took the papers
and reserved his decision.
