Has proposed the following law: 
Article 1. After the promulgation of the present law, five 
carreaux of land will he granted, free of all charge, to every family 
of laborers or cultivators of African or Indian race who shall 
arrive in the Republic. This grant will be reduced to two car¬ 
reaux, when the laborer or cultivator is unmarried. 
Art. 2. These grants will be delivered, without expense and 
with a provisional title, to every family that shall have made, 
before the proper magistrate, the declarations prescribed by law 
to the end of obtaining naturalization, and they will be con¬ 
verted into final grants after a residence of a year and a day in 
the country. 
Art. 3. The final grants will be given in exchange for the 
provisional grants, only when it shall have been ascertained by 
the Government agent that cultivation has already commenced 
on the property granted. 
Art. 4. The grantee shall not have the power to dispose of 
his grant before the expiration of seven consecutive years of 
occupation. Nevertheless, he will be able to obtain the author¬ 
ity to exchange his grant for another property, but only on the 
conditions, terms, and with the provisos above named. 
The present law shall be promptly executed by the Secretary 
of State of the Interior and of Agriculture.
