Chief Mayes, of the Cherokee nation,
says that the labors of the commission,
appointed to confer with his people
about the sale of the Cherokee Strip,
will amount to nething, as no sale will
be made. III the first place, he says,
the Cherokees do not want to sell, and
in the second place, their constitution
forbids any such transaction. He says
that the only way the constitution can
be amended is by giving public notice
six months before general election,
and no such election will be held for
two years. On the other band, it is
believed that sufficient pressure viii be
brought on congress TO induce it TO pass
legislation that will have for it's object
the opening OF the Strip, even without
the consent Of the Cherokees. That
nation, having plenty of money to en-
ploy legal talent, and even knowing how
TO buy courts. judges or iuries outright.
will then commence pTotracted legal
tight TO retain possession of the six
millions OF acres of land coveted by the
white mau 1t does not appear prob
able that the Strip will be opened du-
xing the coming twelve months.
