OOtJNOIL.
Taiilequaii I.T. Nov. 0 1833.
u Last Tucutlay evening after it was
'J determined by llio senate to oxam-
ino tho iiiclosurcs of tho envelope
that purported to '-onta.n charges
and ovldcnco in tho J.ipo-Clinm-bcrs'
contest tho investigation bo-
gan in earnest and was taken up
and continued to a closo next morn-
ing. Tho friends of cither con-
testant watchod tho proceedings
with an interest that becamo so
noisily exprcBsivo that tho pres-
ident who doubtless had heard
of if not seen tho galleries
of congross cleared of an "ob-
stropcrous" crowd ordered tho
chamber to bo cleared and proceed-
ed with closed doors. Between 10
nnd 11 o'clock attention on tho
outside was attracted by someone
asking for Chief Justico Mayes
nnd inquiry having been mado as
to tho purpose ho answered "to
swear in a membor." Finding tho
Bcnato doors open tho crowd push-
ed in with an interrogation point
plainly expressed In tho faco of
every one; "who's won?" Tho
members wcro standing about in
.groups chatting laughing and
seemingly satisfied. I.dtty soon
tho portly person and rubicund
faco of Chief Justice Mayes entered
nnd having demanded of Mr. Bell
his pleasure was told to swear in
Mr. Lipo. Turning to Mr. Lipo ho
tnid "hold up your hand." "Me?"
pays Mr. Lipo and up went his
hand. Tho oath having been ad-
ministered members of cither par-
ty went forward and congratulated
him.
Tho examination of tho caso was
evidently conducted- with tho in-
tention to do both parties justice
irrespective of political bias. It
was found that nino illegal votes
wcro cast for Mr. Lino and that
four had been added to the number
of Mr. Chambers' that should not
bavo been. A correct count of the
votes as thoy stood on tho rolls
would havo given Mr. Lipe a ma-
jority of eleven but nino being
illegal reduced his majority to two.
After tho count was adjusted a
voio io uetermino wno enouiu bo
seated was taken and resulted
unanimously for Mr. Lipe.
It was announced at 1 p. m. tho
chief would deliver his message.
IIo did so to both houses in the
senate chamber. Public opinion
us to its merits and moasures rec-
ommended has found expression
only in Uio conjecture as to what it
really means. Tho first important
item is "Lands west of 9G." Under
this head comes tho "lease" ques-
tion and tho comments made there-
on to thea verago member arc about
as "clear as mud."
"Citizenship" and "Forfeited
Citizenship" aro treated at length
and present some unique thouchts.
Speaking of thoso who have be-
conio citizens by what ho terras
"our understanding of what haB
been agreed to in tho treaty of
18C0" ho says: "But as soon as
they becamo citizens tho same
condition governed as to their
remaining citizens which had
applied to nativo Cherokecs from
tune immemorial. Tho pronoun
which evidently refers to "condi-
tion." and means if it means any-
thing that there is no difference- as
to rights and privileges between
nativo and adopted citizens; and
that timo historic or immemorial
does not affect that condition. The
opinion of Secretary Lamar in
relation to tho riehts ofadont-
colorcd citizens or of
For interfering with tho rirt as-
sumed by tho nation to dctormino
claims to citizenship tho authori-
ties of tho United States aro not
led into error by an erroneous con
8truction of our constitution but
this interference- is based upon the
treaties.
Sncakinjr of freodmen who claim
to belong to tho class entitled to all
tho rights and privileges of nativo
CherokccB ho says "Tho right of
a nativo Oliorolcoo may bo defined
to bo tho right to tho privileges and
emoluments ot juu citizenship in
this nation hold undor tho restric-
tions and conditions which nativo
Cherokecs havo imposed upon
themselves in tho constitution of
tho nation." Privileges and emol-
uments ho seems to tako caro not
to define but leaves that to the
council who will do so whon thoy
legislate about tho 8250000 grass
raonoy which ho recommends to
bo disposed of "hi accordance with
tho requirements of tho timo and
tho will of your constituents" or
Bomo of them at least.
NOTES.
Tlio lirst work ot tno senate was

It is current on tho streets that
the National party has nominated

perhaps prove a better choice than
he.
Delegates Dick and Hi have
submitted their report which
abounds with fulsomo praiso for
Phillips and his extraordinary feats
and services. They likewise sub-
mitted an account of their per diem

ed
any adopted person does not
bear out this rather peculiar
feature.
Again under tho brad of "For-
feited Citizenship" ho says: "Tho
mistako that has been mado has
been a too free and generous an
oxcrciso of such authority which
bos led many of our citizens as well
as they authorities of tho United
States into tho error of regarding
all who can prove Cherokee blood
or descent as being entitled of right
to citizenship as soon as they re-
turn nd mako such proof." This
is taken Xrom that part of the con-
stitution which Bays tho national
council Bhall havo pon or to readmit
persons who movo with their
effects outsido of tho nation
and who may desiro to ro-
turn. As no mandatory method
to readmit such persons to citizen-
ship could be consistent with the
nets of a legislative body which
though tho should conform to
tho constitution aro and should bo
discretionary this oninion is more
arbitrary than reasonable. If this
woro so tho declaration to which
the Chcrokeo nation is a party
would not havo been insorlod as a
provision in tho treaty of 1800 that

which thoy renounced further
claims upon tho nation and becamo

not becauso they ximply becamo

To Member of Senate and Council

Gentlemen: It once more be-

tho cost of instruction is nominal.
Thoro is but ono serious drawback
to our educational system. It lies
in tho fact that the public schools
Aro taunht in English by English
teachers whilo at least ono half of
the children of tho nation do not
speak or understand tho language
and get no benofit of conscqucnco
from tho expenditure of their
money. I suggest thorcforo
that a proper proportion of tho
school fund' bo used in boarding
Uliorokco speaking children where
tho acquisition of English will bo a
matter of course.
colored man school
A desiro has been exprcssod by
colored citizens for eomo provision
oi law that will offer to their child-
ren tho benefits of an academic
cducatisn. This desiro is reason-
able and lust. Tho benefits of such
an education bolong to tho "rights
of Nativo ChorokcoB" granted to
our colorod citizens by treaty and
cannot bo honorably refused. I
thcreforo submit tho subicct to vour
conscientious consideration how to
afford an education to tho colored
children of tho nation equal to that
oi other children and within tho
limits of an appropriation for the
purposo that will bear a just pro-
portion to tho number of colored
citizens.

Thoro has been up to this dato

BONArtDE CLAIMS FOIt CITIZENSHIP.
Thoro still remains tho very
grave question of how and by what
method claims for citizenship aro
to bo decided. Such claims may
be divided into two classes viz:
thoso of persons who nllcgo ability
to provo former membership that
has nevor been forfeited but only
suspended and of lrocumon who
bolong to tho class described by
tho treaty of 18GG ns being vested
"with all tho rights of nativo Cher-
okces." Tho right ot n nativo
Chorokeo may bo defined to ho tho
right to tho privileges and emolu-
ments of full citizenship in this na-
tion hold undor tho restrictions and

council according to tho constitu
tion to mako a titlo to land in any
sense in order to show that noth-
ing of tho kind was intended. Tho
council considered that they wcro
granting to tho stock association
tho samo license to graze stock
west of 90 that tho council had
many times granted to different
citizens of tho United States cast
of 9G no more no less. Tho
authonties so understand the law
and so it is understood to bo ex-
pressed in tho nativo language. I
suggest however ihat tho truo in-
lent and object of the council be
made tho subject of a declaratory
enactment and at tho same time
that tho right of the nation to oxcr-
ciso every act of ownership consis-
tent with" the titlo it has to those
lands bo affirmed and defended
with what vigor and firmness occa-
sion may require.
THK STOCK LAW.
This industry is declared to bo
ono of vast importance and entitled
to an reasonable encouragement.
Itis therefore recommendedamong
other amendments that tho timo
for introduction of cattlo bo extend-
ed. An extension to the first of
Juno is suggested.
PEHMIT MATTEI.3.
Hired labor from abroad is de-
clared to bo a necessity. Tho ex-
isting law is a good one. excent
perhaps as to tax imposed but
should be amended for tho moro
certain attainment of its objects.
CITIZENSHIP.
This is declared to bo tho most im-
portant question beforo council but
no specific recommendations aro
mado. Tho meaning of the treaty
clause "all tho rights of nativo
Cherokees" is presented as n prob-
lem which should bo solved.
FOnFEITED CIT1ZENSU1P.
It is discretionary with council
whether or not they admit cortain
persons who havo forfeited citizen
ship by removal or otherwise. In
tho past this body has been too
generous in tho exercise of this au
thority. Many of our citizens as
well as tho United States author-
ities havo been led into tho error
of believing all who can prove
Cherokee blood entitled to citizen-
ship rights. Tho constitution does
not bo provide. The position of
such parties is that of a petitioner
for favor and not as a claimant for
a right. Tho enactment of appro-
priate regulations io govern cases
of readmiBsion is suggested. Non-
interference by tho United States
should bo insisted upon.
ADMISSION TO CITIZENSHIP.
No obligation rests upon tho na-
tion to admit any citizen of a
foreign government. Tho inter-
marriage law should bo modifiod.
It was our understanding irom tho
treaty of 18G0 that tho 13th article
placed all adopted citizens undor
tho oxclusivo jurisdiction of this
nation. This understanding has
since been shown to bo crroueous
and a whito man is as much a
United States citizen after as beforo
adoption. As tho law now stands
it simply offers a gratuity for tho
encouragement of intermariitigo.
No such tiling was meant or intend-
ed; and that being tho caso that
provision of tho law should bo re-
pealed When there is no good
reason for it tho relief is not to
adopt Tho law of intermarriago
should bo bo amended as to mako

not citizens themselves with full
ehares of ownership in our common
property and monies but denizens
only witli such privileges attached
to tno right oi residence as it will
bo just and reasonable for tho own-
ers of tho domain to grant and
uMoniinz m tiiew . to accept
bcr.hip in their just proportion of
tno rights and bencnts ol tno grant
mado to tho nation.
But llio grant being mado both
by treaty and by patent this na-
tion has tho right to claim tbo
protection that is oxnrcsslv or im
pliedly guaranteed by each mode of
conveyance; and u ono method or
protection shall fail to answer tho
purposo to apply for the other.
Congress after authorizing tho
convoyanco to this nation by pat-
ent may very well bo solicited to
givo tho grant duo effect by em-
powering this nation to uso tho
patent as ovidenco and by author-
izing tho judicial branch to hear
and dctcrmino all complaints and
flay.thatit is not competent for thefpetitions for redress sot up either
by tho nation on tho guarantees of
tno patent or by Individuals for
recognition as mombers of tho na-
tion. I recommend tho reference
as soon as possible of tho cntiro
question with all of its branches
to a Competent joint committco of
your honorable bodies with in
structions to devise and recommend
measures for your adoption.
ROADS.
In every country exchango of
products must largely depend on
tho scrvicability ortho roads. I
think tho incrcaso of tho products
of this nation will justify tho pas-
sage of a road law adapted to our
condition.
RAILROADS.
The currents of trade that accu-
mulate from the springs of human
industry are as resistless in thoir
course to market as a river is in its
flow to the sea. Add to this fact
tho further ono that there is no
good reason why thoy should be a
sourco of danger or injury to the
lands thoy pass through but very
much to the contrary. 1 urgo your
honorablo bodies to tako the sub-
ject under your most serious con-
sideration and to tako such action
as will conciliato and not antag-
onize the all powerful elements of
commerce
MONOPOLY OF IMPROVEMENT.
It is well for those greedy citi-
zens who aro engaged in monopo
lizing improvements to know first
as last that tho mere occupation
and use of any portion of our do
main largo or small does not vest
any right of soil whatsoever in tho
occupant. Although no citizen's
right to Jiis proportional sharo in
tho common domain will be in-
creased or decreased by tho rapac-
ity of the land grabbor the practico
b a bad ono on account of tho
illegal contracts it induces and
othor injurious consequences.
CARRYINO DEADLY WEAPONS.
I recommend tho passage of a
law that will effectually provent
tno carrying ol deadly weapons by
pnvnio citizens.
INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS
It is in my opinion of tho greatest
consequence to every tribe in this
territory whether or not tho policy
of parting with land to the United
States by pieces and slices Bhall be
pursued west as it was east. I am
opposed to such a policy and havo
no doubt Cherokecs all aro. I am
in favor of and rccommond to you
whatever measures it may bo nec-
essary to tako to preserve the in-
tcgrity of Ibis territory as really
and permanently an Indian terri-
tory and whatever steps also that
may in your judgomont bo required
to unite the tribes firmly upon such
a basis. why not.
I urgo you to instruct your del-
egation to Washington to apply for
tho passage ofa law to atop thot
