N body here eontroverta it. What I say is that when they ace tit to cede their land to the United States they must do an for a consideration agreed upon, ami cannot make any conditions of cession that shall deprive Con:rese of the right thenceforward to dispose of and manage the bind thus cedüd. Thu Cherokee have no tiht to deed their lands to Knglaud or France, but only to us, and without any conditions as lo what we Miall do wi"h ihem. Hist ia my position, The Indians are nitro occupant of the soil without title, and we are iheir guardians, and a ttetty letwcni thessi loinor children of the i.ation und Ihe treaty making power iu contravention of the aulhoiiiy of Congress over the public domain aud subversive of our laws, is a spurious treaty, a political abortion, a thing unk now n to tbe Constitution, and unworthy of our rep?ct. That i what 1 a.?crt, slid the cQcct of passing this joint resolution will bo to iimke such treaties void, to restore to our Indian tribes their valid title to their land uutil euch time as valid treaties can be made. Mr. VanUoiin. of Missouri. Wi'.l the gentleman yield iong enough to havn the letter read? It is a t ouununicaiimi ad dieted to the Speaker of the llouse by ihe principal chiefs and delegates of the Cherokee nation now iu Wnsliinion; not minor children, but many of ll.eui the intellectual peers of a ny gcutlemun upon this floor. t Mr. Julian. I supfsnsetho amount of it is that the Chcrnkeo Indians ate said to desire tho .. ratification of this treaty. , Mr. VanIIorx. of Missouri. It explains tho wholo matter of the titlo to these lands. Mr Julian. I o&k the gentleman if there is or can be anything in that letter lo effect my posit ion that ihee Indians hnve no power to dictate our land policy by lret? . Mr. Van Horn, of Missouri. It will enlighten the iiouse on tbe merits of this questions. ' Mr. Julian. Under the unfortunate limitation of the morning hour the Com mitten on tho Public lands will never get through their pressing and important business if decumcnts of that Liod aic to be read. Mr., VanIIobx, of Missouri. Then I ask the Homo not to second tbe previous question on thi resolution. Hero is a communication addressed by tbe authorities of the Cherokee nation to the House explaining this whole matter from beginning to end, and I undertako to ssy that if any member will read it it- will satisfy them upon this' question. Now, I deny that tbe Cherokee Indians or any person in' their interest his asked this, and they are, many of them, educated, and the equals pf the gentleman from Indiana and myself in the management of their own business. 1 will stati further that this matter has come up within a very few dsys upon 'the representations of outside psrtiep, who have proposed .to me that the opposition shall be withdrawn if tbey are pud a certain sum of monej. I do not suppose that the party to whom I refer has approached tbe committee in the wsj ho has mo,' or this resolution would set hare been reported; but I ask the llouse to pass over this matter until all the facts can he laid before themj snd I

I hope the joint resolution will taj.and I bot e the ueutlt'tuan from Indiana will not with - dm w that tart of it which relates to tbe Cherokee neutral lands. ' Now, aa I understand this question I do not know that I understand it correct y a tieaty was nade authorising tho Sectetary of the, Interior to dispose of these lands, and one clause of it author iu-d ihe Secretary to dipoae of them in ouo body if he saw fit, for one doljar an acre. ' t he lands were so' disposed of by Mr. Harlan, but not in Mucoids nee with ' the terms of the tieaty, be- clving a Ion ! credit fur the payment of tbe entire sum, I with the exception 0! a very nisll amount, j '1 here was a disturbance cteated about it, .and Mr. Uioai.ii.g rescinded that contract 'and made a new contract wiih an Individj ua. Mr. James V. Joy, for the transfer of j this entire body ot land, the 'former con. trad l.avirg bien made with a pretend jd . emiuraul company. Mr.Jsn.es F. Joy, Jetliap-iHit having ffcOU.UUÜ on hand, snd tindinv he can make a good thing of it by fiiieiing into a compromise with this r mitrniit comriaiiy, auieca to have his 1' to ni 1 act lescindtd and come in under Hie (ontraet villi tne emigrant com pany by which be leceives the eight bun died iliousanj acres, and has a lunr time lor pauicut, aud at a very low rate of in leri'st. , The proposition, therefore), is aioiply whether James V. Joy shall have this land, some eight hundred thousand acres. for ihe eum ot one dollar per acre, on very long lime for payment and very low rite of intetcsi, or whether the (Jovernmeut shall buy these lauds lor that amount. Here the'liMimtier fell. Mr. VanIIubn, of Missouri. I desire lo state that utMirr thii treaty of aale aetil.ri 11 io pioictiiJ in ihcir iiuli'i.

Mr. Lawuinck, of Ul.io. . Will the .flit It man lioui Indiana Mr. JulianJ yield to me for a tew minutes? Mr. Julian. Very well. Mr. .AVHKtCE, of Ohio. It seems to rnu that ihe question involved in the bill now before the House ia ono tf vastly more importance than gentlemen are aware of. 1 think I can state tho matter in a very few words so that it can be understood. 1'iior to the I'Jth of July, 18 CG, ihe Cherokee Indian owned a tlact of land in Kansas known as the "Cherokee neutral lands," the title lo which they held under a patent Ironi the Uuitod States, I make no question how about the' validity of the titlo. Ity a treaty euterod ir. toon the 19th of July. 18CU. the 1 herokee Indiansccded these lands to ihe United States in trut io be sold slid the proceed to be paid over to ihe Indians. The eventeeuth article of that treaty is as follows: "Akt. XVII. The Cherokee nation hereby cedes, in trust to the United States, the'liact of land in the State of Kansas which whs sold to the Chrokees by the United Sta'e, under the provisions of the second article of the treaty of 1835; and also that strip of the land ceded to tho nation by tbe fourth article of said treaty which is included iu the State of Kansas, and the Cherokeea consent that said lauds msy be included in ihe limits aud jurisdiction of the said State. "The lands berein ceddd shall be ur; vered as ihe puhlio land of the United S ate aro surveyed, tinder the direction of ihn Commissioner of the General Land Office, and shall be appraised by two dis interested persons, one to be designated by the Cherokee national council and one by the Secretary of tho luterior, and, in en?-e of disagreement, by a third person. to be mutually selected by the aforesaid appraisers; the appraisement to be not less than an average of 1 23 per acre, exclusive of improvements. "And the Secretary of ihe Interior shall, frcm time to time, aa such surveys and appraisement are approved by hitu, alter due advertisements for sealed bids, sell such land to tho highest bidders for rash in parrels not .exceeding one hundred and sixty acres and not less than the appraised value: ProciJeJ. That whenever there aro improvements of the) value of fifty dollars made on ihe lauds not being mineral, and owned and personslly occupied by any person for agricultural pur poses at the dale of tbe aigning hereof, such persons so owning, and in person residing on auch improvements; shall, after due pioof, wtado under auch regulations as the Secretary of the Interior may preaciibe, be entitled to buy, at the apprai. ed value, ihe smallest quantity of land in legal subdivisions which will include' his improvements, not exceeding in the aggregate ono hundred and sixty seres,- the expenses of survey and appraisement to be paid by tho Secretary out of the pro. ceeds ofsalo of said land: lrocidcl, Thst nothing in this article shall prevent the Secretary of the Interior fron sellincthe whole of said neutral lands in a body to nuy responsible putty, for cash, for a aum not less thin SSU0.0UO." Under this provision of :ho treaty the Secretary of the Interior undertook to sell ibese lands. The objection which I now make ia not to the title of the Indians to these land, bat it i that tho treaty malting power cannot execute such a trust im posed upon the Government or any offiosr thereof, in any form, without the aid of aa sot of Congress.

1 of this country can, aou 1 iear ,wiji ,ue, ,11. of in this war. and the cublio domain will be given up to monopolies and speculators, and the' whole homestead and hnd policy of the Government be1 1 subverted. lUeuy tnat ny sucn ming can - . I be done. In the remarks I bars made on several occasions during the present;, session of t'unirress. I have referred t? authorities without quoting them at large, giving con. srruction to the treaty on a king power of this nation. To tbej-? ! may now add an other. . Attorney General Lushing, in an opinion found in volume pages 440, 444 of the Opinions of lt Attorneys General,'' decided to substance that xchtrt a trra'y it exrru'oty, ttqui i(f the actio 0 lh$ Itynlaiyct branch 0 the doerrnmsn m tipri'lriu'iginunty,the uit 0 Qtvtjmt making the npuninriiitioit, unJ not thti trni fy, mutt govtnt I hi txcutke vßerrt tf tht UuvrrHtHtut. Iu other wotds, the tieaiytnaking power, has limiis, and when it attempt to go beyond this it ia subject 10 the control of the law-making power. Whatever under the ( onstituiion tuay be properly sul ject to the control of an act of Congress cannot bo claimed aa fulling wiihiii a rtghtlul 1 xerci-c vi Ihe treaty, making power. This Government cannot under cover of the trestyuiaking power, exM-H'e a trutt for the aale of land. The olliceii who are to execute such trust owe their existence tu an act of Congress which may be repealed at pleasure, aud thus leave 110 olbccr to execute it. A patent cannot be ibsued in execution of auch trust wi bout the authority of an act of Congress. The Government holds the legal title to the trul lauds, and under the Constitution Congrois slotie can--"Make rules and regulations for the disposition of the pubiio lauds." Whether held in trust or otherwise, I will nut now atop to imiuii into the pow er to accept or execute suti trust or the expediency of assuming its exercise. Nor will I iiuw iuiiiire how far the. Indian chiefs, who riecu'ed the treaty of July It), lSCtt, could convey in trut a title held by the Cherokee tribe or aatioti of India I) i. Iljt nwutnin ilmt tho Indian chiefs had powar la convey' the landa of ibeir tribe or nation, and that a treaty Is a proper mode of tusking the conveyance yet it does not follow that either a 'jr or a poictr is thereby devolved on the otllcers ot this Government tn execute the trust by making sale. The treaty to which I have referrel attempts in cloiho the ecretary of the Interior with the power, and to require of him the performance of the duty. Ilut whence are his powers derived and how are his dulie defined? lly acts of Congress, no one of which has authorized him to execute trusts like this on be half of Indian tribes. Who Ii authorised to receive and pay out the money, and by what authority? What is the liability incase of a misspplicatioii of moneys? Who shall determine the mode of its distribution? The whole scheme rests on no valid authority whatever. To assert that the treaty-making power is competent to execute such a trust, is to assert that it can create the officers necessary to accomplish the end, if they do not, as I Ley may not, exist in pursuance of an act of Congress. Hut by the Constitution all offices not therein provided tor must be crested by a law of Congress. . Such officers can only exist 4 in pursuance of a law" ot Congress. In the brief space of time allotted to tne I cannot dUcuss this question fully, but I have said enough to show that this trust cannot be executed without the aid of act of Congress. I have shown that tbe treary. making power has attempted to encroach on tho rights of the law making power. It is subverting tbe prerogatives and powers of Congress, and its encroachments are all the more alarming because it is attempting to subvert Ihe homestead and land policy enacted in solemn laws by Conures. It is encroaching on the rights of labor and of .the peoplo by creating .huge monopolies of lauds which ought to j Ä dedicated to the sacred purpom of ma king homes fwr (1)9 homeless and landless poor. Mr. Speaker, I agree with the gentlemi 0 from Missouri Mr. Van Horn in all that he has said in commendation of the chiefs or agents of the Cherokee Indians. I know some of them personally as intelligent and worthy ' gentlemen. The Cherokeea have just ground of complaint against our Government. And lor one, I would do them justice. Let the Government buy their lands at once, pay for theui $&UU.U00 in money or bonds ot other lands, as may bo agreed, and then put them into market to actual settlers at the minimum price of SI 23 an acre uutil the Government is reimbursed for its expenditures, and then open up the residue of the lands to homestead entries. This will bring railroads, with thriving villages and independent farmers, and Kansas will rejoice in te wisdom of tho policy which will seeure these results. Mr. MayNARO. I desire to ask tho gentleman from Indiana Mr. Julian j a question. Mr. Julian. Very well. . Mr. Maynabd. These lands having been conveyed by patent in fee simple to the Cherokee tribe of Indians, a civilized people, a community recogoixed as such, by virtue of wi.at authority do we asaume any control over these lands after the date of that cooveyance? Was there any condition, express or implied, attached to the grant by tbe United States to these Indians? Mr. JciIAN. In answer to the gentleman I will say that I do not pretend that we have any control at all over the&oSands; the Cherokeea were tbe absolute owneri under their patent. But what I aay is, that when tbey undertook to dispose of these lands by treaty, they have no power thereby to repeal the land lawa 'of Congress, or to take away cor jartsdietwn

The gentlemen teribh.ij uoea uwi van i.ic-o lauoa m pan i these lands a part of the public domain any moie than a lot here iu the city of Washington which the United States may become possessed of io payment or a . ueos. I Mr. JüLIAl. . It ia very remarkable, if these Indiana having the title to these lands by patent, conveyed them to us.'and yet they do uot belong to u. As I hsve repeatedly stated, they had no power oth. er thau to cede these lauds to the United State. . The itentleman himself, iu de fending .this treaty, necessarily asserts title iu the United States; aud what I ask is, that henceforward our Itidiau tribes rhall content themselves with tho simple power of cession. 1 Their power by treaty Is exhsusted by the cesrion, and It is not competent tor them to annex any conditions subversive of the land policy of the United Stales. I demand tho previous question The previous question was seconded and the main question ordered; and under ihe operation thereof the bill was ordered to be engrossed for a third reading; and being engrossed, it waa accordingly read the third lime.

Geary related the following important fact: On a certain occasion, w hen dining with Grant at Chattanboaa. after the cloth had been removed he called for his maps, vwhich he spread before me, and said: -Sir, you and your division have been instrumental in obtaining the victories around this city. The plan for the next campaign is already formed, and it is proper that you should know it. I inteud to concentrate my troops around this place, and pour theui on Atlanta, while a strong attack is made on Richmond. After Atlanta falls, a lino will be taken for the' sea shore, ending either at Charleston of Savannah; and having thus made our point, we will enter the . Carolina 1 and attack Richmond.' This was in lSb'3, nine mouths before the city of Atlanta was taken. Justice should be done, and. I tell you so that you will know who it was that planned the march to the sea, and bisected the Confederacy and brought the rebellion to a termination. Why are good, husbands like dough?
