Public Lands.

For the benefit OF those who may desire
to ontcr or settle on the public lands, we
call attention To the laws relating to them.
by tho acts, of Congress of May goth, 1867,
and June 2ist, 1866, every citizen of the
United States is entitled to enter one
quarter section OF the unapprOpriatcd pub
lie lands belonging to the United States,
upon making affidavit that such entry
is made for the purpose OF act nal settlement
and cultivation by the person entering. This
affidavit may hc made before the l'egisur
at MonIoc, or before tho Clerk o. tho parish
in which The applicant resides. The cost
of this Homestead, as il is called, is, for
forty acres, six dollars for eighty acres.
seven dollars; for 100 acres, fourteen dol
lars. This is all tli;,L can he legally charged
Application for L. $. lands, must be made
to the land Office Mt Monroe. Five years
continuous occupancy, after application,
is necessary to secure II patent, or the pay
ment of$l .25 pcr acre after six months occu-
patton. This is the only methCd by which
u. S. lands can be entered.
For State lands, application must be
made to tho Land Office in New Orleans.
There is no connection between tho land
office of the United States and that of the
State. The latest laws on tho subject Of the
public lands of the State, arc act IS Of extra
| session 1870, and act l01 of 1871, tho latter
bong aIHcuuattfy OF Inc former. lneSe
laws provide that all tho lands donated by
| Congress to the State as swamp and over
| flow lands, shall DO subject to entry at the
| price of twclvc and II half cents per acre,
provided tho applicant make affidavit that
he or she enters the same for the purpose
! of actual settlement and cultivation, and
provided further that no person shall enter
| more than lG0 acres at that price. Lands
which arc not entered for the purpose of
| settlement may DO bought for $l.25 pcr acre.
Lands which arc subject to tidal overflow
and rendered thereby unfit for cultivation,
| may be bought from the State i'll amy
| amount ut twenty-five cents per acre. Amy
| person wishing to apply for State lands
| should send his application directly TO the
| licgistcr of tho State land Office in New
| Orleans. Tho only Charge i'll addition to
| those above stated, allowed by law, isstw"
| dollars for cvory patent signed by the Gov
! crnor. Tho affidavit may be made before
| any officer authorized to administer an
| oath.
| We publish, these facts that all may know
| how to proceed without any expense save
| that required by law. There is IL consider
| abfe sprinkiiuy of public land III North

any person, white or black, ut home or

Congress this Homestead cannot DO sold
