Sin address you this communication in regard to
certain memorials Of halbeed Kansas Indians for conr-
nation of contracts for sales Of land to Hon. s. W. john
son. Z
prevail in January last and moi approved for of the
mentioned in the report Of tho Commissioner
Indian Affairs. submit them again. with additional evil
denk intended to supply all former deficiencies and with
reference to authorities which appear to TO be
conclusive.
IN regard TO the grantors right SELL the Commissioner
relies upon the opinion OF the Attorney General of goth
September 1883, under resergaon in similar language
contnsd ~ another treaty. The opinion holds that the
title of the Indians Is personal right use or occ,-
py the lands, and rot dsposahle estate fee that is
not grant OF the ultimate title the United States but
mere reservation or retention of the imperfect c held
by the Indians previous TO the treaty. The opinion is
brief aud hasty one and although emanating from great
man. will not bear comparison with other opinions of him
self and other Attorneys General and the decisions Of
Supreme Court OF the United States There is
great as 10 commit of haste and nadverencc
and there is to whom woud more cheerfuy sub
init this argument than the author of that opinion him
self
1t is contrary to the continued practice of the de-
parment as we need only take up the Indian treaties and
find reservation after reservation in language equivalent
to this where the have been allowed to make
deeds
1t is in direct conflict with the opinion of the Supreme
Court in the OF Michel vs. The United States Peters
ILL., in which Chief Justice Marshall says page 74s: ~,
universal rule that purchases made Indian treaties
in the presence and with the appreciation of the officer
under whose direction they held by authority of the
Crown gave valid title TO the lands II prevailed under
the laws Of the States after the revolution yet
nues in those States where the right the ultimate fee
is owned by the States or their grantees

clases made and treaties held by their authority have
been always held good by the ratification of the treaty

of the adoption Of different rule from that which
has heretofore prevailed.
Although the governor Of this Territory Is not others
xoeto superintendent of Indian affairs, yet from his
position he is supposed have eye TO the welfare Of
the Indians and should be the last TO set example
variance with the uniform practice Of the Indian Bureau
He should avoid every thing thai could be tortured into
suspicion OF unfair dealing So also the judges interested
in these contracts who may be called upon in their judi
cal capacities pass solemn Judgment upon OF the
questions connected with resulting from them.
IL is necessary to throw around The property of the In
dian every guard which may efficiently protect him from
the superior sagscty of the white and in ordi-
nary cases such contracts would be crutnzed with great
care il is msch necessary where men, from their o-
cial positions have superior advantages aud clothed
with power that gives them extraordinary influence.
From these considerations and the fact that the Indian
agents (whose reports not ascrbed to interested
cous motives opposed to the confirmation of these
contracts my opinion heretofore expressed has been
changed and therefore my recommendation is that they be
not approved
