MINORITY REPORT.
To the Honorable President and Members of

We, the undersigned members of
the special joint committee, appointed

of public lands, and to investigate the
alleged irregular and fraudulent en-
tries of State lands beg leave to sub
NIT the following minority report
In regard to the status and classifi-
cation Of State lands, the limited time
at our disposal prevented us from
gaining any knowledge on this sub
jeet, beyond the fact that the Land
Office is without data on which to
base the sale of tidal overAowed land,
and is therefore compelled TO rely on
affidayits setting forth the facts that
lands are tidal oveFhowed lands be-
fore selling them as such. In regard
to irregular and fraudulent entries Of
State lands, we have to report that
we have asceFtained that over 10000
acres of land have recently been en-
tered in the parish of Cslcasieu, under
the tidal overflow act, at l91 cents
per acre, which are not subject to
tidal overflow, and should have been
entered at rs cents per sore; we fail
to agree with the majority report in
regard to the sturilityof the land in
question, and disagree with them In
regard to the land being unfit for
grazing purposes Further our knowl-
edge of surveying doea not justify the
conclusion that an actual survey Of the
lands would be SO expensive as to put
an end TO further investigation. In
conclusion, we have presented you
with the naked facts as we know
them, as far as our knowledge goes.
aud without recommending any future |
course to be pursued in this matter. |
We ask you TO consider the facts
and to decide whether or not further
investigation is expsdient OF demand
ed by the interest of the State, and |
we ask to be discharged from further
consideration Of the subject,

LAKE CHARLES, PARISH or CALcAsIEu,
State Of Louisiana, June 2l, 1884. !
To the Honorable the Special Committee Of
the Honorable Legislature, state OF Lou
lsiana
We, the undersigned citizens Of
Lake Charles and Calcasieu parish, fa-
yor the development of our country,
and deprecate any attempt 10 place
obstacles in the way Of its advance
ment, We believe that in the recent
large entry of State lands by Mr.. j..
B. Watkins he did not get as tidal
overflow any higher land than has
been obtained by other persons gem
orally, and that the proportion Of the
higher grade Of lands in his purchase
is less than in any other sale of tidal
overfowed lands ever made by the
State.
We believe that Mr.. Watkins made
this purchase in entirely good faith,
and that the State generally, and the
parishes in which the lands are situ-
ated in particuIar,.will be the gamers
in this transaction, because Of the
scheme now well under way, upon
gigantic scale, to improve and settle
up this country.

oldest university in Scotland. It is 172 years
older than that of Edinburg; but it is small
an institution and has so many difficulties to
contend with that quite recently its very exist
ence seemed to be endangered The UniVersi-
ty of Edinburg, on the other hand, never was
more vigorous more prosperous than it is at
the present time During recent years its pros
perity has advanced by leaps and bounds. In
1870 it had / 69S matriculated students and 16l
graduates in all its faculties In 1888 it has had
3,340 matriculated students and its graduates
have numbered 522. An academic institution
which has nearly doubled its students in twelve
years and which has in the same time multi
piled its graduates more than threefold has evi-
IDENTIFY no reason to complain of its treatment
by the public, and no cause to believe that it
has failed to meet the requirements of the time.
The University of Edinburg differs from the
other universities of Scotland in this important
particular-that, while the three older univer
sites We're founded by Papa bull it was estab-
lished by royal charter was a civic institution
from its commencement, and has been popularity
managed throughout the whole period of its
istence. The others We're pre- Reformation and
eccesiastical corporations Ednburg had post
Reformation origin, and has been dstinctively
lay institution from first to last Nevertheless,
its first protector was a Jealous churchman-
Robert Reid. Bishop of Orkney. In 1858 Reid
bequeathed to the municipality of Edinburg the
sum of 900 marks Scots for the establishment of
a college. His executor the Abbot of KinlOss,
kept possession of the money for twenty-four
years after his death.
The civic authorities however. discounted
their expectations for in 1868 they purchased for
$1,000 Scots portion of the Kirk o Field-the
land which the university now stands.
Three years later Queen Mary bestowed the
proposed university certain eonfscated church
properties. The scheme, however, was not yet
ripe for being launched Over sixteen years
elapsed before the citizens made up their minds
that the work should be begun, and even then
difficulties were interposed by the jealousy of
the older universities of St Andrews and Aber-
deem. At length, in 1851, the municipal
authorities made a determined start
They obtained from the Grown the
vacant house of the II amilton family
which formed part of the confiscated estates of
that noble house, and which stood near the Kirk
o Field The work of repairing and adapting
Hamilton House and the houses on the Kirk o
Field lands was at once begun, and these build
ings formed for the next two centuries the home
of the College of Edinburg While this work
was in progress King James VI was induced to
grant royal charter to the new institution The
date of the charter, as has been said is 1882, and
in 1921 it was confirmed by an act of the Scottish
Parliament. -Four years previously the king be-
slowed on it fresh mark of royal favor by
authorizing it to style itself "The College of
