THE HUERTAS GRANT.
FoFty-siX Hundred Acres of Valu-
able Land Granted to the Huertas
Heirs.

The following paragraph appeared in
yesterday mornings NEWS:
The president has issued a patent for
private land claim in Florida, known as
the Huertas grant, Antonio Huertas. con-
tirmee, comprising 1900 acres of land in
Orange county,"
A repd6ter of THE NEWS, in converse
ton with Col. A. w. Roysdon, of this
city, one of the attorneys for the Huertas
heirs, learned something of the history of
this grant. Mrs. Huertas, it seems, dur
ing the life of her husband lived in the
most af1uent circumstances, but at his
death, which occurred several years since,
the estate became involved to such anex-
tent that she was reduced to comparative
poverty and it was only by practicing the
strictest economy and industry that she
was enabled to live and rear her six chill
dren the oldest of whom is now ergag-
ed in the land office at Gainesville, the
home Of the family.
In 1917 the Spanish government grant
ed to Antonio Huertas, then a resident of
this province, $4,000 acres of land on
Alexander Spring Creek, in Orange coun-
ty, and soon after Huertas sold to Moses
Levy 10, 400 acres of this grant The
other 1900 acres getting into dispute,
was carried to the courts, and in 1882 the
case was, on appeal, taken to the United
States Supreme Court, where the decis-
sion of the lower court was reversed and
the case sent back for further proceed
ings. In 1882, Messrs. Drummond and
Bradford, attorneys at Washington, d.
c., w. w. Mccall, of Gainesville, and
A. w. RoysdOn, then of Gainesville, now
of PaIatka, were employed by the Huer-
tas heirs to look after theic intere SITS. They
commenced proceedings in the United
States District Court in Jacksonville in
January last, and on the 4th of June a de-
| cree was had confirming the rights of the
said heirs to the 1900 acres in question.
| The letters patent were received by Col. A.
w. Roysdon in this city on Monday, the
4th inst, just one month after the de-
| cree was granted.
This grant comprises some of the best
hammock and high pine Iandsin Florida
and the titles are perfect.
The possession of this land is in the ma
ture of wind fall" to the Huertas
| family.
Thereare three other grants, situated in
Putnam and st. Johns counties, compris-
ing some 10000 acres, on which these
heirs have claims, and for the possession
of which the above named attorneys will
| commence proceedings.

own affairs and interests. The criminal
laws such that crime would be more
effectually and speedily punished.
Many more changes might be sug-
gested and reasons for them given, did
time and space allow, but we simply
throw out these few suggestionsifor the
convention to act upon, if it deems
proper. We think that, when the consti-

better, more democratic and progressive
constitution than the present one viii be
offered to and adopted by the people, and
that many important changes in our
laws will follow as a matter of course,
In the meantime, no harm can be done by
calling the attention of the people to
such matters and discussing them before
the people. X.

For the Conventions Consideration

Il "a bIlC NOtAh
PALATKA, FLA, August 5, 1884.
Editor PALATKA NEWS.
As the democratic convention for the
county of Putnam meets tomorrow, for
the purpose of nominating candidates
for the general assembly, it may not be
amiss to pen you few thoughts that
are now passing through my mind.
We all recognize the fact that it is the
duty Of this convention to select, as its
candidates, good, true and tried men
men whom the people know and know
ing can trust.
But other matters, as suggested by
your editorial in to-day's issue, might
properly be brought to the attention of
this convention.
The State Of Florida is yet in the in
fancy of her growth and development.
It is only of late years that her wonder
full resources have become known, and
now her genial climate, great variety of
semi-tropical fruits and agricultural pro-
ducts are attracting the attention and adj
m1ation OF the civilized world. Capital
and labor are pouring into her borders to
develop her resources. The tide of i'm
migration has set her way, and Putnam
county is not behind her sister counties
in the rapidity of her growth and devel-
opment. But Unless capital and property
are equitably taxed and protected, and
labor protected and the laws under which
we live, wise and benificent, capital and
labor will seek other fields and relegate
our state to her former condition. For
any state to become a great state, life,
liberty and property within her confines
must be protected by wise, just and good
laws. While the convention has no
power to change any law now existing,
vet it may be well to discuss before the
! convention any law that seems to be OBJ
/ rozious or unjust, suggest such changes
rs we may deem best and to request
those whom We may select as our candi-
/ dates to give such matters their careful
! and earnest consideration.
Among other things, we should have
a school system such as will give to
every child in the state, no maater how
poor he may be. the opportunity of OBJ
/ tanning Il good common school educa-
+ ton. The revenue laws should be such
that each persons property would be as
/ sessed according TO its true and real
value, and the owner compelled TO pay
/ his proper proportion of taxes. The road
laws should be such as to keep our pub
| lie roads in good condition and repair.
