youf station, as salesman, as pa triot, and your acknowledged duty, wheny yousay, " instead ofkeeping alive
 discord, it is my duty to restore and pre- serve harmony" It is all pretepce, q bare assertion on your part, without the truth to support it. You engagedin it, sir, because you have fancy for such employment, and to ogratify your puer- ilc vanity, that you might have an op- sportunity to display your great skill and dexterity in this kind of warfare, and, moreover, to gratify your malice and srevenge upon Mf. Crittenden and the last Legislature.
 In my future communication, will convince even your Excellency, that your address to Nlr. Crittenden is not only one of the weakest, but one of the most ill,judged productions, that ever came from the pen ofa great man or pa. lriot. CATO.

lax upon claimants never was contem- plated by the Treaty of 1903. But there were other conditions imposed
 upon the claimants by the act of 1921. When the claimants shall thef. obtain decrees in their favor, they are author- ized, in case you, sir, have sold the land
 the claim calls for, and have pocketed
 the money for it, they are authorized, ] say, to locate said claim upon-what? Upon other land which had been offer
 ed for sale, and which nobody would
 buy. Thus, sir, the Government, after taking the claimants land from him,
 after forcing him to beg you for twenty years for an equivalent, you say to him by the act of lS2f, we acknowledge
 the robbery-we have spent the plum
 der, but you may take an equal quanti- ty ot ourfsfAse land.
 This act, sir, shows both your honesty and libefality. Hear me little fur
 ther. Mir. Speaker. You showed by the act of IS24 little more of your liberality. 1t was not enough to obtain decree before your own Court, iudg- es and Jury; you reserved to yourself the right of appeal for twelve months,
 to the Supreme Court of the United States, after the final decision was made between the claimant and his govern
 ment. Well, sir, dc not complain of

sons one was, that I did not believe they were entitled to the pro;ee eton of this Ho1se; and the other was, that did TO, wish to jeopardizc the claims of the bona tide purchasers. The original par ties, not the bona fide purchasers, those who arc charged with the fraud, arc for- tunate in having on their side so able an advocate. The otherobjection ofthe hon- orablegentleman to theproposcd amend mentis, thatthe land claimed is 10 Je aoifl- heid from sale aatithe1iail,er oraerof Con- gross. He deprecates such provision --iie is opposed to any change in the disposition, of tie public land land. Inc fHEhao President should be authorized, he says, todlspose of the lands held by claims, as other lands are disposed of. l think not ---as much as am devotedt to, and ad- mire the President, am unwilling to place the rights of my constituents in hls hands, or in the hands of any other person.
 The gentleman should recollect, that by the .tamous act of 1850 upolthiis subb-z Ject, the President is required to sell these lands, regardless of the titles of the claimants. Suppose the Supreme Court of the United States should de- eide the act of 1880 to be q nullity, as Ibelieve they will, that Mc yights ofAe clainlarats are rested and are beyond the control of this House, would it be right to require the President to sell these lands? Surely not. Suppose, on the ether hand, the Supreme Court should decide that these rights arenot rested iss Mc bonafidc purchasers, have they no claims upon the generosity and justice of this House? l think so. atn un- willing to see the doors closed against them; l wish them to be heard; l wish Congress, when they shall become fully advised uponthis question, to mete out 10 them such justice as they may be entitled 10. think 1t but justice that these lands thus held, should not be sold until Congress shall give the order.- Should Congress deem it right 10 make such an order, it will not long be delay- ed, and if Congress should deem it ifs- ! expedient even to direct those lands 10
 be sold, of course no order will be ta-
 ken upon the subject, and the claimant
 will be protected in his right, and will
 hold his land as absolutely as though he . had his patent in his pocket.
 Other explanations were made in re-
 ply to MT. Taylor, by MT. Bell, the result of which was, that the amend ment was re-oonsidered, and modified, so as to strike out the words ssbona fde, 7 before the word "purchasers,' and 10 insert after purchasers ''s the words "after rendition of judgment" The i amendment, as thus modified, was a~ greed to, and the bill ordered 10 third reading tomorrow.
 April 9.-The bin for the postpone. ment of certain trials in the Superior Courtof Arkansas Territory, was read a third time and PASSED.
 April lO.--Mr. Clay, from the Com- mittec on the Public Lands, reported bill establishing a Land District in the Territory of Arkansas, which was read twice and committed.

HAND TITLES IN ARKANSAS.

When the bill to prou'de for the post ponenaent of certain trials in he Superior Court of .Arsaasas, came up for consid- eration, a short debate arose upon it, from which, because of the deep inter- est his constituents have in it, we select for publication the remarks of the De- legate from Arkansas.
 Mir. SEWER (after some observa- tions in reply to one of the gentlemen who preceded him in debate) said, that he would not detain the House by en- tering fully into the merits of those claims. He knew the House was im- patient. lie begged leave, however, to make very few remarks. I need not, (said he,) tell you or the House that Louisiana was purchased of the French Republic in 1903, and by an article in that Treaty of cession. this Government pledged itself to secure to the citizens acquired, the enjoyment of their pro- perty. How has this article in that treaty been complied with? Was it ex- ecuted in reasonable time, in good faith, honestly and fairly? I will tell you how it was executed in that portion of Lou isiana, included in what is now Arkan- sas. 1 will not go into particulars; I will not long detain the House. Sir, after withholding what you had pledg- ed your faith as nation to execute for upwards of twenty years--and when, during all that time, the claimants, by petitions, Sc. were begging you to full fl the treaty, you sir, in your boundless liberality, passed law in 1921, autho- rizing tine claimants on certain condi- sions, to institute suits to try their claims, provided the claims were small, and did not ot.exceed q league square. What were those conditions. Fl, he claimants Ewere bound to bring their suits in your oan Court; to have their claims tried by your oaon Judges, and the confirmation of them opposed by your o7pn ,4torney, and the disputed facts to be tried by a jury selected by your ozurs .harshat.- These were some of the conditions, and if they had been all, he should not have complained. But further: the costs arising from these investigations were not to abide the event of the suit !; the claimants, whether successful or not, were bound to pay. This heavy

troops or other force, to protect him, he will often find it difficult to control his Indians. They too, sir, are sometimes for nuilification. My opinion is that the sum proposed to be appropriated is entirely too small.
 Gentlemen talk much to Us about abuse and corruption prevailing among the Indian agents. l should like, for once, for the aceusers to put their finger upon the man, or specify the abuse of which he complains. ] cannot speak for all the agents, because ] don't know them. Ispeak only of those now in office whom 1 do know. l know the Arkansas agents, the agents for the Greeks, the CheTokees, and the Choe- taws, and purer or more honest faith ful public servants, l don't believe are to be found in this House or elsewhere. l am proud to rank them amongst the most estimable of my friends. No doubt there are dishonest agents; and, 10 doubt, but there is prevailing, much abuse, if not corruption, in almost eve ry branch of our Government. But I take leave te state, Out perhaps the House will not believe mel that sin eerely believe that, whenever the sub ject shall be properly investigated, that there will be found to be as little abuse or corruption prevailing among Indian agents, as is to be found prevailing among any other class of our public functionaries. There is over these agents responsible head (fhe Secre- tary of War.) For every dollar ex- pended, they have to adduce an author ity and voucher. These can be found in the War Office, whenever gen. tlemen will take tie trouble to search for them. In short, for one, protest against these side-bar attacks: l deem it unfair and ungenerous.
 Mir. Chairman, much has also been said about the five hundred thousand dollar appropriation. Gentlemen ask, with apparent surprise, what has be- come of that money? Sir, ] have the honor to know the whole ef these dis ourslng agents, with 10 or fhrce excep- tions-they are all my constituents. In conducting the emigrating Indians from the east to the west side of the Missis- sippi river, no doubt much of that mo- ney has been expended. l take this occasion to assure gentlemen, that it is my sincere belief, that whenever this matter may he investigated, the most fastidious will be satisfied that every dollar of that appropriation, which has been expended, has been spent honest ly, faithfully, and l may add judiciousty. l would respectfully admonish gentle men, who seem to have fears upon this subject, to quiet those fears until they shall have the time and means to be- come fully informed. Over those agents there is a respectable head-one whose character is too we'll established to be destroyed in this House by indirection. This House no doubt, will know, at a proper time, not only how much of this sum of money has been expended; but, will also know in what manner it has been disbUrsed. ~ X x
