EDITOR DEMOCRAT:
Dear Sir-I have read with interest,
the interview, with Gen. LeWis-rela-
tive to the issuing of patents by Secre-
tary Teller for portion of the Back
bone Land Grant. AS one of Gen.
Lewis constituents, and a settler on
the railroad limits, 1 am happy to say,
that am not only highly pleased but
congratulate Gen. Lewis on the good
work he has done while in Washing
ton D. G.. 1t might not be amiss for
me, to state here as one OF the many
settlers on the Backbone Grant, that |
believe my rights as a settler, on 100
acres Of said grant since 1870, is supe-
rior to that Of the New Orleans Pacific
Railroad Co., to whom the patents were
issued, and that | have filed my claim
therefor, June 10Th 1883, in the @. s.
Land Office at New Orleans. Although
no definite action has yet been taken
in my case, I claim that the laches are
attributable to the government officers,
and not to me, and that | intend to
fully test my claims even if compelled
to do so alone.
Relative to the interview Of Gen.
Lewis with the two attorneys in Wash
ington D. c., March 9th, 1885, giving
the Washington d. C. attorneys $4,000
in event of defeating or annulling the
patents issued, / believe the same can
be legally done, and that the legal pro-
fession in St. Landry backed by $780,,
600, could do the work.
In conclusion Mr.. Editor it is to be
hoped, that whenever the Louisiana
nominations comes in order, for the
Collectorship, or other important posi-
tions, that General Lewis and Hon. B.
F. Jonas, who so faithfully served their
constituents and party, shall not be
forgotten by president Cleveland.
