THINGS PROPOSED FOR LEaIs-
TATTON

The most important question is
the abrogation Of the lease Of the
Cherokee strip TO cattlemen and
the leasing of It TO Cherokee citi-
zens. They do not say they want
TO lease it to Cherokees, but that
is the aim. The main point in
abrogating the lease is, they do
not want those "wire pastures" 10
become the nations property.
Before the land was leased TO
those cattlemen some Of our
citizens lived in aliluence by just
simply claiming those pastures TO
keep the government from destroy
ing them, and they desire the
lease annulled that may do the
same again. Suppose the lease is
annulled and the strip is leased
to Cherokees for a number of years,
and they refuse TO pay US anything;
what can we do? We cannot put
them out of possession because
they are citizens and in their own
country. Those that wish TO lease
the strip are Of course the
wealthiest men we have, and
money will control any govern
ment if the citizens give il the
advantage 10 commence with.
Then if a corporation of citizens
has the right TO suitcase the strip
to white men, we, as nation,
should have more power than
they. That they intend 10 sub
lease to cattlemen there Is no doubt
for citizens would not move lheir

Very Respectfully.


Thus il is seen that Phillips and
the delegation claimed full author
ity TO dispose of Cherokee lands
west OF 96o, not excepting any, but
claimed full authority, and did at
tempt, TO sell every foot of land
west Of that line. Where did they
get the authority 10 make such a
nonstrous proposition TO the sec
retary--to sell over six millions Of
acres ofvalusble lands? With these
facts before us the mystery Of the
whole affair is made clear, and why
congress made the appropriation
out Of funds due under appraise-
ment for lands; and why the secre-
tary Of the interior says the Cher
okee nation has been paid in excess
Of occupied lands 1884, sos. 20; and
why he says the several payments
made the nation for lands are upon
all the lands west Of the Arkansas
river; and above all why the money
was appropriated for lands not dis
posed ofao friendly Indians.
This full authority likewise ac-
counts for tho seven and one-half
per cent. Of the amount received,
with tho glorious prospect Of real
izing that per cent. on millions Of
dollars for the remainder Of the
lands, This fuH authority further
accounts for the appropriation by
Congress, n the absence Of any
claim by The Cherokee nation

Why Congress Appropriated the
$500. 900, "And how the Cat
got Mixed up in the MealilkY."

Why Congress Appropriated the
100000, "And how the Cat
got Mixed up in the Mealil<y."
TAHLEQuAH. I. t., December 6, 1856
II has been somewhat a mystery
why congress, on any account, ap-
propriated the 100000, and one
gets awfully muddled if he attempts
TO reconcile the opposing state
ments Of Phillips and the secretary
OF the interior. But above all
questions is the one, why did con-
gress make the appropriation?
There was nothing due on the oc-
cupied tracts according to their
appraisement and the sum paid
the nation for them; nor any new
settlements made on others for
which the delegation had the right
or authority to demand payment.
The following letter will solve the
mystery:

to the act Of appropriation, and his
report upon the status Of Cherokee
lands to the senate. A report
from the United States treasury he
called to bis aid in proving that the
100000 was for occupied lands.
II is to be seen whose report will
receive the greatest popular en-
dorsement.
A resolution was. considered on
the second in the senate 10 author
izc the principal GHETTO employ an
attorney to defend the nation
against the North Carolina Chero-
kee claim, appealed from the court
of claims TO the supreme court Of
the United States. 1t was amend
ed by authorizing the delegation to
do so but on the following day the
council killed it. Twenty-eight
members preferred, before they
would risk a probability Of Phillips
being such counsel, to know who
are the delegation. Only twelve
Phillips men in that body.
How the delegation will act in the
matter, whether they will employ
Phillips or not the people will be on
the alert to know.
An act to appoint a delegation
was likewise submitted. Four was
the number, but it was so often
amended from four to three and
two that when the vote was taken it
was defeated.
December 8.
The grand effort of the day was
by Soggy, the Phillips champion of
the senate to save his beau ideal
from disgrace. A motion was in
troduced by Mr.. Gunter to approve
the report of the committee on the
$500, 900 transaction. Soggy en-
deavored to champion a factious OPP
position to the approval by pervert-
ing his scanty talent in misrepre-
senting facts contained in the
report. Doubtless he had received
his cue from some one personally
interested in the issue
A vote was called for and the ques-
tion put by Mr.. Bell. Some mem
Der moved that the roll be called to
discover absentees. Three were
absent and the assistant clerk was
ordered to bring them in. Mr..
Spears and another came in and
took their seats, but Mr.. Henderson
of Delaware district could not be
found. (Mr. Teehee has been away
some days.) The ayes were Bell,
Cookson, Gunter, Gray, Mayes.
Lipe, Harris, Rogers and Burlington;
nays, Spears, Soggy, Clark Going
Snake, Young, Tulsy, Gritts and
Grease-adopted by two majority.
Phillips last ditch is the delega-
ton, but he cannot reasonably eX-
pect that delegation can be select
ed at the approval of a senate
decidedly opposed to him, as shown
in the adoption Of a resolution that
virtually says that he has lied about
the 100000 transaction. Nor is
it probable that n delegation who
value future preferment would, de-
spite popular disapproval that sure
ly would follow, dare to employ
him as attorney.
An act passed the council to-day
and came to the senate for dele
CATION of two. There will be a
move to amend it for four, there
being among some of the members
a spirit of accommodation for those
who are spelling TO go.

The grass money per capita act
to pay to Cherokees by blood was
vetoed by the chief. His message
runs pretty much in the same
grooves Of his former one vetoing
similar act. When read in the
senate a motion was made to vote
upon it. Six were for and ten
against, Messrs. Lipe, Mayes, Bell,
Henderson, Rogers and Spears to
sustain the veto and Harris, Gray,
Cookson, Soggy, Clark Goingsnake,
Young, Tulsy, Grease, Burlington
and Gritts, against.
Indignation is running high
among the full Cherokees and the
darkies are jubilant. There will
be another effort in the same line
during the extra session which has
been called.

Of resurrection. Scribe.
