! given Us . few eryarte e2ascts from the proceed
ngs Of th, Senate.
The charge with which J. +. Benjamin is
accused is this as Chairman Of the Committee
on private Land Claims in the Senate of the
! United States, he Struggled through Congress,
under fictitious t!lle the Houuas Land Ci;im,
worth millions Of dollars, and in which Sii1ell is
he principal claimant, and in which Benjamin
had acted Attorney. The close Of the last
session Of Congress (S59) the cheat was dis
covered in time, and an act was passed suspend
ing he operation Of the law until sLch time as
Congress could investigate the pa;;er. Atsthis
session the fraudulent law was repealed, and by a
vote that brushes forever the reputation of the
Louisiana era.ors. In the Housc the vote
stands II! infavor of repeating the fraud, and
& aeaioss t.
Now all we ask of the Louisiana Democrat,
which has been so swift in its defence Of these
political caprts is to give the result of the Of the
vote OF Congress. Mcssrs. Slidoll and Benjamin
