WASHINGTON, March 1S.
The BOuIigny Land Grant.
The time ofthe morning session of the House
yesterday was almost entirely occupied by
Messrs. WashbUrne of Wisconsin and Wood.
Ofldge, OF vermont, in a personal explanation
that amounted TO debate on the resolution
instruCting the Secretary of the Interior to
delay action on the bill passed last session.
granting seventy-hve thousa acres of land
10 Louisiana to the heirs Of John e. Boulgny
The assertion of fraud on the part OF the claim
ants and the Developments that Mr.. Washburne
threatened to make, induced the House to vote
Tor resolution that checks the operation of a
completed law of last session. The law granted
one-siXth of four hundred and fifty thousand
acres TO the heirs of BOulgny, and, 1t is claimed
by Mr.. Washburne, authorizes the claimants TO
acquire title TO any unoccupied public lands.
The history of the claim, as stated by Mr. Wash
famous Mississippi scheme of John Law no.
toriety. Law claimed from a grant
alleged to have been made by the King of
France in 17l7. In 1885, the heirs Of a
Frenchman named DAntrieve set up a claim
when Congress passed a bill authorizing the
claimants to appear before the officers of the
Land Office to make proof of their claim. The
case went to the Supreme Court which on full
review declared the claim illegal and void. II
was afterwards reviewed by a petition to the
Thirty-ftth Congress; but no action was taken
until the House OF Representatives Of the Thirty
sixth Congress allowed the clam for the bene-
III VI buC uclIS Ol ~ duJIltNti tut CbudIe nOJ
agreeing. Bouiigny, from whom the present
claimants claim, was member of the com
mittee which recommended the claim to that
House. The matter was again introduced by
the heirs of boulgDy in the last Congress,
which passed the bill now objected to. This is
a brief outline of the case as given by Mr.
Washburne, who further states that there was
no evidence before Congress showing that
Bouligny himself was an heir, or had any claim
to the property. Many OF these statements are
denied by some of the members of the COM
mittee that passed the claim. Should the inves-
tigation which the affair will have to submit to
by this Congress confirm the history given, it
will probably prove TO members that they are
sometimes given TO loose legislation.

RIVAL or THE JUEIATA,-rhe wind yesterday
during the early part of the day was from the
e., about noon, ENE., and later in the day
again NE. This morning, however, it was
nearly due south. The unusual prevalence of
with them, as they do, heavy fogs, has ma

There were, however, quite q number of arrivals
and departures; the former on the ooastwise

The Tonawada was noticed yesterday as hav-

the cause, probable detention at the bar at the
mouth of the Mississippi, where the tides are
usually very low at this season OF the year; per-
haps delay at the Havannas, which she visits
Orleans and Philadelphia trade; or, what is
more likely, the continuous heavy fogs and

REDUCTION IN THE TARIFF FOR MESSAGES.
LONDON March 13-Noon.-The Anglo-Ameri-
can Telegraph Company held a meeting in this
city yesterday to consider the proposed reduc-
ton of tolls upon business transmitted over the
cable. Quite unexpectedly to the general pub
lic the movement for q reduction failed, In
consequence of the refusal of the Atlantic Com
pany to assent thereto.
The public should remember that although
the practical management of the cable is in the
hands of the Anglo American Company, no
change in rates can be made without the con-
sent OF the Atlantic Company. The latter Com
pany is the one which initiated the cable enter
prise, but subsequently transferred its fran
chises and property to the Anglo American
Company, which successfully completed the
work,
