July 81, 1925.
SIR: Your letter of the 25th of June, ad-
dressed to Major yandeventer, has been re-
ceived, the answer of which has been inten-
tionally delayed till the result of Gen. Gaines
interview with the Indians at Broken Arrow
should be received, as the President had anx-
lously hoped, in the acquiescence of the In
dams to the treaty, to have found the neces-
sity of replying TO your inquiries entirely OBJ
waited. But as the communications from
Gen. Gaines, recently received, have entire
ly destroyed that hope, reply has become
necessary. The Indians to the number of
1890, including large majority Of their
Chiefs and head men of the tribe, have de-
noupced the treaty, as tainted alike with in
trlgue and treachery, and as the act Of very
small portion of the tribe against the express
determination Of very large majority, de-
termination known to the commissioners.-
They urge that to enforce compliance with
an instrument thus obtained, would lily be-
come either the justice or the magnanimity of
the U. States, under which they claim TO take
shelter. These are allegations presenting
question beyond the cognisance of the Fxecu-
tive, and necessarily refers itself to Congress,
whose attention will be called to it on an ear
~ day after the next annual meeting. Mean
while the President, acting on the treaty as
though its validity had not been impeachetl,
finds, by reference to the eighth article OF the
treaty, the faith Of the United States solemn
y pledged 10 protect the Creek Indians from
my encroachment till their removal in Sep
ember, 1926. He therefore decides. that
he entering upon and surveying their lands
before that period, would be an infraction of

The treaty, whose Interpretation and execu-
ton, should it remain uncancelIed, are alike
con6ded to him. | am, therefore, directed by
the President to state distinctly TO your Ex-
ceilency. that for the present he will not per-
init such entry or survey to be made.
The pain the President felt in coming to
this decision is diminished by the recollection
that It interieTes with no duty imposed on your
Exceliency by the laws of Georgia, as dis
cret,on is given you by the late law of the
Legislature in prescribing the time when the
lands embraced by the treaty shall be survey
ed. Under all the circumstances, the Presi-
dent permits himself to hope that you will ac-
quiesce in his decision. As Gen. Gaines has
been in communication with you on this sub
ject, and as it's the wish Of the President you
should be in possession of every measure he
may find himself constrained to take thereon,
am directed to enclose to your Excellency
a copy of Gen. Gaines instructions OF this
date.
] have the honor to be, your most obedient
servant,

The NAvY.-From the number of trials by
Court Martial, which have already been had
at Washington, and from the number that still
remain TO take place, connected with the ma
ture of the specifcations~of charge against
some Of the accused, we fear that the charac-
ter of this bulwark Of our national strength is
not held in sufficient reverence by those who
are its constituted guardians. Ii must be
cause of deep regret, to all who have watched
with interest the honorable career of our ma.
w, TO see its well earned glory for moment
obscured by the conduct of those who have
been its brightest ornaments. 1t is true the
charges against Com. Porter, though Of high
nature, involving the usurpaton of sovereign
authority, and disrespectful department to the
national executive, still were founded upon
transaction which did not impugn the personal
honor Of the accused. We are to attribute
his conduct rather to too strong a sensibiiy TO
the honor OF our national flag, than to any in
territorial deviation from the path of duty. In
his case we feel, and he ought to feel, that The
slight punishment he suffers is an offering to
the injured majesty Of the laws, rather than a
disgraceful penalty willingly inflicted. We
wish we could say as much in extenuation Of
the charges preferred against Com. Stewart
They are entirely of different character:
such as, il substantiated, disclose a total dis.
regard to the honor the flag which was com.
mtted to his care. The sordid passion of ay-
arlce is seldom found among those whose
81 home is the deepn--least of all among those
who are clothed with the high trust of sustain
ing in the remotest regions, the dignity and
honor Of our national character. Our navy

Jug 2l&, 1873. }
SIR: Yours of the 9Th inst. has been duly
received, with rhe accompanying DOCUMENTS
! am directed by the President to express
his regret at the failure of your efforts to rec
oncile the Creeks to an acquescence in the
treaty made at the Indian Springs, as it was
his sincere desire to have seen it carried into
effect. But the determined opposition of the
Indians TO The treaty itself, on the alleged
grounds of intrigue and treachery, on the part
OF the portion Of the tribe negotiating the trca-
ty, as well as the smallness of theirnumbers.
from which they argue its inyaldty, and
Their solemn appeal TO the justice and mag
can unity OF the United States, creates such
an obligation, that we should, at least, pause
before we proceed, or permit others to do so.
until these allegations can be thoroughly in
vestigated, and their effect decided bv the
proper authority; the more especially, as the
eighth article of the treaty gives till Septem-
Der OF the next year, before the treaty is to be
carried into effect, and guarantees them from
encroachment till that time. 1t is in this pos
ture of affairs Gov. 1roup insists that he will
survey the land. A collision by overt acts
between the Executive of the Union, andthat
OF State, is SO against the theory of the Con-
stitution, and so repughant to the feelings OF
the President, that he would determine only
under solemn sense of duty to do an act
| by which so serious a result would be produc-
ed.
VI Gov Troup should, however, perseIere
IN his declared purpose of surveying the land,
against the repeated circumstances of this
department, it will present one of the most
unfortunate events which have vet occurred
in our history. It's possible occurrence has
induced the President TO weigh with the de-
deliberate circumspection made necessary, as
we'll by its serious consequences as its high
responsibility. His decision thereon has been
made and transmitted to Gov. Troup. in a
letter OF this date, a copy of which encltse
for your information, and by which you will
learn the line of conduct which the President
has prescribed to himself
II is still devoutly to be hoped that Gov.
Froup will abstain from any act that may make
it necessary to have recourse to the step sug-
gested: yet, should he persevere in sending
persons to survey the lands embraced within
the Treaty, you are hereby authorized 10 en-
ploy the military to prevent their entrance on
the Indian Territory, or if they should succeed
IN entering the country, TO cause them to be
arrested. and turn them over to the judicial
authority, and TO be dealt with as the law d.
reefs. have only to add, that have trans
mitted to Gov. Troup copy ofthis communl-
cation.
have the honor, &c.

the particular attention of our readers. BY the
correspondence which we also publish in this

the responsibility of retracting from the stand
he has so rashly taken, or of plunging the
State into needless and hopeless civil war.

port of the General Government.
