Work for the General Assembly
iSugar Planter1


But while IL new Constitution j.
imperatively demanded by the me-
cessities of the times, there is some.
thing for the next General Assembly
to calmly reflect upon and consider
The last session of that body com.
mitted many plumbers in law making
many of them as grinding upon the
people as those imposed upon us
under Radical rule. All know the
confusion that prevailed during the
whole of that session and further
know that there was little time for
properly investigating and rejecting
upon bills introduced in the short
period allowed after the status of the
present State government was def
niteiy settled before adjourning. No
sensible man therefore attaches any
serious blame to that body, but the
errors then committed and overlooked
must be remedied the coming year.
The General Assembly of 1878 must
be emphatically working body. The
errors which have crept into our
statute books must be eradicated and
replaced by good, wholesome laws.
A new Constitution will do much to-
wards relieving the people iu their
present condition, but good legislation
under that Constitution will do more.

land, it can not be held that such
disposition is Incompatible with a
clause prohibiting the Offering OF the
double concession for sale by public
auction. And admitting this position
to be wrong, and that such donation
is Incompatible with the clause i'll
question, it is clear that such incom-
patibility operates an implied repeal
by Congress of the conflicting clause.
Aud admitting this position to be
wrong, still it is clear that the clause
has long since ceased to protect the
double concession for by its terms it
is only operative " till after the final
decision of Congress " on the Houmas
title, and there can be no doubt that
such final decision is ann 0uneed in
the act of April IL, 1914, /" for the
final adjustment of land titles in the
State of Louisiana and Territory of
Missouri" (III Stat. at L., 100, or in
the act of July A, 1882, " for the final
adjustment of the claims to lands in
the Southeastern Land District of the
State of Louisiana )" QVib., 560,) or
in the act of February 6, 1885, {" for
the final adjustment of claims to lands
in the State of Louisiana; u or in the
fifth section of the act of May 26,
1924, (IV Stat. at T., ST. as revived
and applied to Louisiana by the act
of June II, 1874, (IV Stat. at e., 676. }
Under the act of 1924 as thus revived,
the Houmas claimants might have
sued the United States for eonfir-
nation of their incomplete title to
the double concession. The act of
1924, revived, required petitions I'M
der the act of 1914, to be filed within
two years after the passage of the lat
ter act. United States as. Porche, XII
Houard, 426.) The Houmas claim
ants did not do this. Their back con-
cessiou comes, therefore, within the
nlalediction of the fifth section of the
act of 1924, revived, which delares,
that claims not brought by petition
before the federal courts within the
time prescribed, shall be forever
barred, both at law and equity: and
no other action ut common law or
proceeding in equity shall ever there
after be sustained in any court what
ever, in relation to said claims" And
being thus barred, the back conces-
sion became, after the 18th of June,
1846, "a part of the public lands of
the United States" in. the language of
the seventh section of the act of May
26, 1924, revived, and subject to the
same disposition as any other public
disposition at any other public land
