II has been mentioned in this paper, as an item of intel.
igence, that the Cherokee difficulties have been recently
revived in the Stale OF Georgia. The occasion was the
hing oil bills OF injunction on behsli Of certain Indians
against the agents of The State, in which Cherokee soye.
reign'y was re-asserted, the State right TO the Indian
lands denied, and the State laws on the subject charged
lobe demonstrations and void. The case came on he.
lore Judge Hooper, one OF the State Judges, at Csssvile,
on Monday The 3l3t OF March, in the form Of an argu-
meat on a general demurrer to The bills. The argument
occupied iour days. From a report OF the pleadiDgs we
learn the circumstances OF the case, and The nature OF the
claim now advanced by the Indians. When the Chero.
koes in 1919 eeded certain lands to The United Sisles, a
large number OF reservations 10 particular Indians were
made in the treaty, in a siipulstion that thew should resid,
ugon them. These they have sold out, and re-entered
among the Tribe, claiming a right 10 have a residence and
re occupy portions oil the country not ceded, the common
pIbptI'J VI VIC sDt
In making the State laws concerning the distribution
by The 'si'i lottery, :lS legislature determined that those
persons had already received an equivalent, for their share
OF the Indian lands, and had IN consequence no title 10
their present occupancy. New grants were accordingly
Issued for hen, TO the drawersin the land lottery. Against
these the iOdidns lille a bill, praying for injunctiOns 10 quiet
them IN the possession OF Tie soil, upon the ground f,ai the
Cherokee tribe is an "independent State having a right 10
make laws Tor its own government, aud that they are the
exclusive owners Of all the territory on which ihey and
their ancestors have resided and which they have not ce.
ded by treaty" They claim that this title has been qua.
that the laws Of Georgia on that subject are contrary 10
those treaties, and therefore void.
These principles, il sustained, would iavalidste all the
state grants under The late land lotteries, as well as sub.
vert all the State Jaws within ten counties.
The Judge, in his decision, gave no judgment on the
rights Of The individuals In The particular cases, but, on
motion, he struck out from The bills all those paets which
aiirm the independence Of the Cherokees, aud their right
to the soil, and deny the sovereignty OF Georgia, or the
constiiUtonaliiy Of her laws.
In this form, the question will be submitted to The con.
vention Of Judges-BGH inner.
