Msnmaagnmm.

The Washington correspondent Of
the New Orleans Times. Democrat has
been overhauling the Journals Of the
last Congress, and furnishes his paper
with a recapitulation of the disposition
of bills of every character. of the
most important of these which passed
TO the statutes was that "To restore
to the public domain, and to regulate
the sale and disposition of certain
lands east oftho Mississippi river in
the State Of Louisiana"
This new law provides in brief that
all lands lying in the rear of eighty
arpents from and east of the Missis-
sippi river and south of Bayou Man
chac and Amite river, within the
limits of townships eight and nine
south, Of ranges one, two, three or
four east, and township ten south, of
ranges two, three and four east, in
the late southeastern district, which
lands have been reserved from
sale because claimed to be embraced
within certain French Or Spanish land
grants, but which have been, or may
hereafter be decided by the courts Of
the United States not to be legally
embraced within any such land grants,
shall be restored to the public domain
and shall be surveyed; and that 50
soon as the surveys shall have been
made, all persons who have IN good
faith settled upon said lands at the
time of the passage of this act,
and who occupy the same, shall be
entitled to enter the same, not exceed
ing 100 acres eacL, under the pro-
visions Of the homestead laws. All
such lands not covered by actual set
tiers shall be subject to entry under
the provisions of the homestead laws
only, provided that this right Of entry
shall not extend to any lands within
the limits of eighty arpents in depth
from the Mississippi river nor to any
confirmed land grants within the
limits Of said townships. All lands
thus disposed Of are to be subject to
all existing serWtudes for drainage
recognized by the laws of Louisiana.

IHE murder Of Capt. F, W. Daw-
son, editor of the Charleston News
and Courier, by DR.. F. i. Mellow, in
that city, has aroused deeper feeling
throughout the country and in high
places than usually attends the per
Petration Of a great crImc. Ex-PresI-
dent Cleveland and many others Of
emInenc", tcIegraphed to the widow
and children Of the murdered man
words Of sympathetic grief m their
woe, and what is also serious public
loss. Captain Dawson had attained
high rePutc as political and national
counsellor, and was member of the
National Democratic Executive Com
mttce The NeWS and Courier has
for years, under hIs management,
been powerful factor in the affairs Of
the nation. He murderer was recog
nlzed wherever known as a moral
Ieper, wholly INSCRIPTIONS, and
especially so in his intercourse with
women. Capt. Dawson having full
knowledge Of the character of the
man, committed the unaccountabIc
indiscretion of placing himself entirely
in his power by calling upon him alone
at his office TO expoStuIate against the
attempts of the latter 10 debauch a
nurse girl in the formers household.
Even the time Of the visit seems to
have been inauspiciously chosen, as
Mellow was still smarting under re.
proaches beapod upon him by his wife
a few minutes previously for similar
offenses. The horrible details of the
crime, as they are evolved by the in
vestigatIon, make it one of most
unparalleled brutality.
