On the last day Of his official career as
Secretary Of the Interior, Mr.. Harlan exc
cuted n contract with the American Emf.
grant Company, corporation of the state Of
Connecticut, purporting to be made under
the provisions Of u treaty between the United
States and the Cherokee nation of Indians
for the sale Of lands in advance Of the sur
vcy provided by the treaty and upon credit.
This action Of Mr.. Harlan was clearly in
violation of the law and caused general sur.
prise in view of the time when the contract
was made and the magnitude of the transact
ton. Some days ago Mr. Browning, the
present Secretary of the Interior, propounded
the following questions TO the Attorney Gen
ernl
81. Can a sale of the lands, either in separate
parcels or in body be properly made under the
treaty In advance of the survey OF the lands pro.
vided for by the treaty
"2. Can the whole of said lands be sold in n
body upon credit or Is IL, under the provisions OF
the treaty, necessary to the contamination and va.
lidity of the sale, that the whole of the purchase
money shall be paid in hand
"3 Il the contract in harmony with and sane.
toned by tho provisions of the treaty, and can 1t
lawfully be carried into effect with due regard to
the rights of the Indians under the treaty ~
The Attorney General in response to
these questions, gives all elaborate opinion,
in which he decides that the agreement be-
tween Mr.. Harlan and the American Emf
grant Company cannot be sustained as a
valid execution of the power Of sale, espe-
ciallv as to the terms Of payment The terms
of sale provide for a sale of the lands in h
body for cash; that the contract is not. in
fact, at the rate per acre required by the
power of sale; and that the contract is sub
ject to grave objections in the matter of the
consideration Of price to be paid for the
lands.
The Attorney General concludes by saying:
~ have therefore to advise you that this con-
tract is not in conformity with The power Of sale
vested in the Secretary of the Interior by the
terms of the treaty, and that you should give i'm.
mediate notice to the Emigrant Conn any that you
decline to carry 1t into execution
