THE RADICAL HOWL,

Senator Blaine has introduced a res
olution in the Senate of the United
States, of which the following is il copy !:
Z2esolvetz, That the Judiciary Com
mittee DO instructed to inquire and re-
port to the Senate whether at the re-
cent elections tho constitutional rights
Of American citizens were violated in
any of the States of the Union whether
the right of suffrage of citizens of the
United States, or of any class of such
citizens, was denied or abridged by
the action of election officers of any
State in refusing to receive their votes,
in failing to count them, or in recciv-
ing or counting fraudulent ballots in
pursuance of a conspiracy to make the
lawful votes ofsuch citizens of no effect,
and whether such citizens We're pre-
vented from exercising tho elective
franchise, or forced to use it against
their wishes by violence or threats, or
hostile demonstrations of armed men
or other organizations, or by any other
unlawful means or practice.
Resolved, That the Judiciary Com
mittce be further instructed to inquire
and report whether it is within the
competency of Congress to provide, by
feet security of tho right of suffrage to
citizens of the United States in all the
States of the Union.
Ieesolred, That in prosecuting these
inquiries the Judiciary Committee
shall have the right to send for persons
and papers.

LEPROSY.

There is II question that frequently
comes up for discussion among citizens
Of Lafourche, that is assuming such
proportions that it cannot be ignored
much longer with safety. That ques-
ton is the incurable and horrible one
of leprosy. Some twenty years ago, as
our information runs, a person attacked
with this disease settled on the lower
portion OF Bayou Lafourche, which has
spread among the people until now
there are thought to be very nearly if
not fifty lepers in Lafourche.
This horrible disease has been one of
tho pests that have afflicted mankind
from time immemorial, but which has
never been prevalent enough in any
one portion Of the United States to eX-
cite any serious approximations. But ut
TINS moment it is beginning to become
a serious matter to the residents in this
part of the State.
Our Representatives to the Lepisla.
ture should bring this question up
before that body at its next session in
order to have an Investigation, and i,
found necessary for future safety, to

man for the place; he can be found :;
he is entitled to it, geographically,
Intellectually and morally, and we
call upon the delegates throughout the
State to give him their hearty and
united support. Who he is, or may
be, we have not undertaken to
say, or even indicate. That matter
we have studiousIy avoided, in order
that our course on. the main point
should not be subjected to even the
suspicion OF a bias or prejudice based
upon personal considerations, and our
arguments to that extent weakened.

MONROE LAND OFFICE.

NEW ORLEANS, December 8, 1878.
Friend AcCa,ossie:
I read all your editorials with pleas
ure, and when I have time even spell
throughout your well-edited and good
doing journal.
Your article about tho removal of the
Land Office, or rather its discontinue
ance, is correct. AS you may know, I
re-organized the land department in
Louisiana as Register of the Land Office
In New Orleans after the war, under
the appointment OF Andrew johnson,
and am able to speak ON such matters.
The Homestead law was enacted for
the benefit of those who desired to till
the soil; to settle on the public domain
and by the sssweat of their brow" gain
their daily bread. 1t never was in
tended by the trainers of that law that
a poor man-and only poor men need
homesteads-should either be COM
PEELED to travel hundreds of miles
away from his piece of land and ex-
pend more in travelling expenses than
ten times the fees required by the act
for entry, or else to pay to an attorney
nearly the Same amount to make up
his papers to be forwarded to the dis
tant land Office.
A land office should be established
in each district, where the bona .ftle
homestead settler can go and pay his
fees, prove his actual settlement and
cultivation, and prove up the same
without costs additional to those men,
toned in the Homestead law.
Now that we have legally elected
delegation to Congress from this State
we can call upon them to prevent the
wrong to your good, chivalrous and
law-abiding people as is proposed by
the notice that this man Williamson
has published. There is something
under this, because I see that new
Receiver has been appointed.
This note is hurriedly written, but
as your commentary on this matter is
not only judicious but well-ti,ned, I
feel that it is my duty to express my
approval of your views.
Very truly yours, J. S. FULLY.
