Georgia has commenced her survey OF
the Cherokee country, Notwithstanding the
decision OF the Supreme Court of the United
States. Our country is now overrun with
surveyors, laying off the land into small Sec
lions Of about two hundred acres. The
gold region is to be laid off into lots of for
" acres. There are we believe about nine
ty-two districts of nine miles squire ;one
company OF surveyors is sent to each dis
:rct, conseque ntly there are not less than
five hundred and fifty men employed in
surveying, under the authority of Georgia,
at this time. Five hundred and fifty men
employed in surveying, marking trees, or
otherwise doing the thing which is express
" forbidden, by the act of Congress OF
1902. If the intercourse law and The trea-
ties were carried into effect, which the
President Is constitutionaIly bound 10 do.
these men who are now employed in sur
veying the land would meet with the lust
penalty OF the law. By the fifth section of
The law above alluded to. 1t is enacted.
"that 1t any citizen shall make a settleme Mt
on any lands belonging to, or secured, or
granted, by treaty with the United States,
to any Indian tribe, or shall suyvey, or atem6i
TO surrey, such lands, or designate anu OF
the boundaries or otherwise, said offender
shall forfeit the sum of $1,000. and suffer
imprisonment not exceeding IL months"
In the same section the President is armed
with full power to take such measures. and
to employ such military force, as he shall
Judge necessary to carry the law into exc
cutlon.
1t is surprising to see men of good and
liberal feelings, and who would no doubt
feel highly indignant, were they charged
with dishonest conduct towards an individ-
ual in his private capacity, deliberately in
vading the rights of thousands of their de-
ienceless fellow beings, in open violation of
law, IN open contempt of the decision of the
highest court in their own country. Those
OF the surveyors we have seen, and had an
interview with, appear to lie men of REJECT
ability; one OF them is minister of the
Gospel.
