Hon. Z. L. Lewis, Of st. Landry par
ish has Sent US Il pamphlet which he has
had il;inted, in regard to the Backbone
land grant. Il is addressed to Hon. l..
q. z. Lamar, Secretary of the Interior,
and gives the history Of the Backbone
land grant from beginning to end. Mr..
Lewis, i'm behalf of tine settlers and the
people, prays the Secretary Of the Inte-
rior to refuse 60 issge patents for the bal
ance Of land, and to let the matter be
brought before tie Z. ;i. Supreme Court
n. Lewis clearly proves that the road
tc have earned the land grant should
have been built on the East side of the
Mississippi river; and fus. s.her, that it was
not completed until /. number of years
after the time specified in the grant when
il should have been finished. The grant
was made March 8, 1871, and the conG-
ton Of sae land grant was that the road
shoSN be completed within five years
fHm that date. 1t is well known that
not mile of this road was constructed
within that time.
Mr.. Lewis. after speaking Of the above
breach of contract wants TO know wheth-
er '';he Executive branch of the govern
ment, in such case can lawfully proceed
20 eontirm the grant notwithstanding this
breach OF that condition.
Mr.. Lewis closes his appeal to Secre-
tary Lamar as follows:
These questions hive never ssbeen pass-
cd upon by tie Supreme Court Of the
United States. to my knowledge. heir

move, for all time, tbs chief dif1lculties
with which your department stands con-
fronted and mark and make plain, . way

secure SO desirable a result: Pardon ma
for saying, it would be the crowning
glory of your adn,inistration-nn earnest
advocate of true reform, and . priceless
boon to honest toilers and bread wipners
of the land.
The way Is easy. A simple refusal on
your part to proceed further in the con-
iirmation Of this and other similar grants,
until SO ordered by judicial proceas,
would force these corporations into the
courts. The magnitude Of their interest
would imperatively demand prompt &C.

longing to the grant, were issued In tho

cratic administration meant honest gov
esamens, and himself and clerks worked
night and day to issue these patents.
None CT the patents for land in ST. Lam

trying his eternal best to gave It from
these raiiroad kings. and the Tofra Talk
hopes that hc will succeed so well that
