General Land Office, occasioued by late act of
Congress, which requires four weeks adver-
tisemeut OF all land claims in California after
approval by the Surveyor General, to enable
constituents TO file objections in the District
Courts. \ late decree of the United States
District Court recognizes all surveys not ex-
ceptjng those returned to the General Land

been that no patents can be issued until the

The Houmas Land Grant.

We published III our report of the

stantial statement of what passed on
that day between Mr.. Toombs and the
honorable Senator of Louisiana respect
ing the Houmas Land Grant; but the
personkl bearing which has been given
to this long agitated case in Louisiana,
and in a portion of the public press,
makes it proper for us, as an act of JUS
