OUR AGENTS:
OUR CONGRESSMAN.

Hon. John NJ. Coghlan, Representative
from this Congressional District is max
ing his mark as an industrious member
and one attentive to the wishes and inter
csts of his constituents. Among other
things it will be remembered that Mr.
Coghlan promised the people to labor
against land monopoies of every sort aud
for the prevention Of the importation ot
Mongolans to our shores. That he ha.
fully redeemed these pledges, the follow.
ing bills introduced in Congress by him
will show:
First-An amendment to the Constitu-
ton of the United States, as follows =
"Article -, Section l. The public land
OF the United States shall not be disposed
of except to actual settlers thereon, fol
homestead purposes only, and in quanti-
ties limited by general laws"
Second-A Bill to prohibit contracts
for scrvic labor, provides, "That every
contract for labor or service, for longer
period than three months, made in any
foreign country, any part Of which said
service or labor is to be performed within
the United States, is hereby declared tC
be contract for servile labor; and any
person who shall contract for such labor
for longer period than three months, OF
who shall enforce, or attempt to enforce
such contract, shall be deemed guilty OF
misdemcanor, and, upon conviction
thereof, by information or Indictment in
the district or circuit court Of the United
States, shall be punished by fine Of not
less than one thousand dollars ncr more
than five thousand dollars, together with
the costs Of the prosecution. One-half OF
said fine shall be paid to the iniormcr and
the other half to the alien who contracted
to perform the labor, upon condition that
he Immediately return to his native coun-
try, under such regulations for the en-
tOrcement Of this condition as the court
may prescribe" The bill also contains
additional provisions applying to Amcri-
can Consuls in Foreign ports and TO ship
Captains and owners, all tending to pro-
mote the object Of the bill.
1t will be seen thnt the legislation pro-
posed by Coghlan is directly to the point.
Ills proposed Amendment to the Consti-
tuition in relation to the disposal Of the
public lands, if adopted, will eflcctually
pat an end and that for all time to the
lnonopOlizing Of the public domain either
by individuals or corporations. Upon
careful examination, it seems to us that
the Bill to Prohibit Contracts for Scrv-
lie Labor" is not susceptible of improve
ment. its provisions, an infraction
of the law must, upon conviction, be
punished by heavy fine, one half OF
which goes TO the informcr, and the other
half to the alien upon condition that he
returns Immediately home. There can
be no doubt that under these circum-
stances the importation of Coolies will be
found much more dangerous than profit
able and will not be attempted Mr..
CoghIan evidently aims to make good
his promises to the people and, if he CON
tinues as he has begun, will merit and
receive their appreciative good will.
Weekly Trinity journal., 1872-01-27

from time to time received. 1t is gener-
ally conceded that the bill, amended so
as to exempt such counties as desire it

THE LITIGANT BILL.

The Senate fews since indefinitely
postponed Senator Wilson's bill to re-
peal the Litigant Act, in accordance with
the recommendation of the Judiciary
Committee, the ground taken being that
the passage of the repeating act would
leave no law by which the publication of
legal notices could be had. The natural
presumption from this act would be that
the Senate were in favor of continuing
that obnoxious law, but this would be un-
just. The bill repealed all former acts
regarding the publication of legal notices,
and made no providence for the future.
Enough Of the Senate are in favor of the
repeal, and new bill to the same effect,
soon to be introduced, will probably pass
with little opposition.
