The cherokee and osaae land Jobs.

We trust Mr.. Julian's joint resolution
will pass, directing the President to with
hold the patents called for by the purcha
sers Of the lands alleged 10 have belonged
to the Cherokee and Usage Indians, but
now occupied and improved, at a great
cost Of time, labor, and money, by white
settlers.
The facts relative to the Cherokee grant
are these About thirty seven years ago
the Government held in trust for the
Cherokee Indians the sum Of $500, 900,
and having appropriated it, gave the
Cherokees, instead a deed of 500, 900 acres
of land in what is now Southern Kansas.
The Cherokees never occupied the lands,
which were held in trust for them by the
Government until bona tde white settlers
moved upon them, took possession and
improved them, expecting 10 obtain title
under the Homestead and Presumption
laws. Fifty thousand settlers had entered
upon the lands year ago and the mum
Der has since greatly increased. In 1866
the Cherokees asserted their claim, but
proposed to sell the lands to the Govern
ment for cost. A treaty was made, pro.
viding for their sale, either to settlers at
low rates Gas bind), or in a lump, for
not less than s8UO,U0O. The lands, being
worth at least $4,000 900, were soon
bought up by an American Emigrant Com
pany for exactly $500, 900 = s25 900 down
and S7T5,00O on very long 1--WE believe
sixteen years. time. This appears to
have been done while Mr.. Harlan was
Secretary Of the Interior.
When Mr.. Browning succeeded, his
righteous Indignation was naturally aroused
that SO considerable ''plum" should not
have been reserved for him, aud he ac-
cordingly ssset aside the sale Of the Emf.
grant Company, and made another sale to
JOY Of Detroit. After some conflict how.
ever, these two grantees made joint stock
OF their conflicting titles, in order to com
mon warfare on the settlers. The lands
ore now considered worth at least IS, 600,
900, leaving profit to the operators OF
81 100000, TO be wrung frou the hard
earned savings Of the Kansas settlers.
One OF them writes to Mr.. Julian that
half Of the adult males on those lands
were In war for the Union, and helped
fight for the nations life. Some Of them
were broken down and shattered in health
