VAtiEDIOTOHY.
In fevering my editorial conncc-
tion Willi tho Chieftain I nin
nvvaro tlmt tlio loss to it is small
nnd easily roparnblo in another.
However what littto I have dono
in tlmt capacity tins been done coii-
tuicritlously nnd with duo respect
for tlio opinions of thoso wlio have
fionoslly difTorcd. I have believed
nnd do still think there is rm im-
pprtant miss-Jon in this field for nn
independent pnper. I conunend
tlio Chieftain to my friends ns
such nnd liavo renson to believe its
future management will sustain or
it the reputation already enrned of
being just ns well as independent.
It has been fettered by ii" party
considerations but our aim has
been to discuss principles parties
nnd those who originate them in
bo fur only ns the lnttcr by so doing
becnino tho property of tho com-
monwealth. Wo have claimed
nnd exercised tho right of individ-
ual liberty of "peech nnd I rejoice
thnt my pcoplo have reached tho
goal and placed tho foot upon tho
rock of hear-say nnd transcendent-
alism. While thero is much to
admiringly revert to in the good
old days of parly purity nnd non-
interference tho fact to-day is tbnt
tho wheel of fortuno lias gono
round nnd wo find ourselves in tho
midst of nn ocean oi intelligent ac-
tivity so that self preservation de-
mands that wo open our oyts to
tho light howovcr unpleasant to
pur unaccustomed vision. Vigil-
anco is most certainly tho watch
word of liberty nnd successful com-
petition. Our bark has floated
out upon tho bosom of human
society and unless wo stretch
sail wo nro lost. Thero is
no lack of natural senso
nnd cultivated tact in tho
relm if tho pcoplo emancipated
'from the thraldom of credulity
thinking for themselves will see
that it is brought to tho front.
Tho pcoplo must "bo up and doing
with a heart for every fate."
This we liavo inculcated
nothing moro. Other interests
demand my whole attention and
necessitate my leaving tho Chief-
taix. Thoso directly connected
with it including the very worthy
associate editor have my sincere
thanks for courteous bearing and
all elso which has dono so much to
make Iho association pleasant and
in rotiring from tho lists I would
cordially saluto tho knights of the
quill with whom wo may have
struck steel. S. J. Tiiomi'so.v.
I remain but not in the rolo of
an editor. I liavo never had occa-
sion to regret thodjty JMbjecamo
ilic assocratfrpf5IrTThompson as
cu.n. of tho Chieftain. Under
t" o now regime I nm to look after
tho finances of tho paper and to
report tho local and current news.
People will read and pay for a pa-
per that gives tho news and tho
Chieftain willbo issued as long
ns tho concern has got a dollar.
1 thorcforo concludo there is lati-
tude for labor in my lino.

Taraaqrun I T Iiecsmber 14 Isss
To-day has been an eventful ono
as n climax of tho contest which
has boon raging siilco yesterday
morning hotween the scnato and
tho chief has been reached tho
chief determined to secure n Phil-
lips delegation and tho scnato
equally determined tint ho should
not. Outof eight nominations made
by him only ono was confirmed
Mr. John Schrimshcr of "oowoc
bcoowco. It is enid though that
Mr. Schrimshcr is not a Quiliki
:nnii. Whilo tho contending par-
tics were taking breath two of the
senators Gray and Young ns re-
ported went up to consult with tho
chief nbout further nominations.
Ho informed them that ho was de-
termined not to recommend any
senator or any ono else for dele-
gate who was in favor of or approved
tho investigation of tho S300.00C
transaction. Judging from what
tho scnato had already dono in re-
fusing to confirm and the gritty na-
turooftho leaders of the opposition
he doubtless saw that ho could not
secure tho kind of a delegation ho
wanted and determined not to have
any. So this morning awhilo after
tho convening of council ho sent
donn tho following message:
Executive Department Taii-)
i.eqi!ah C.N. December 141885. J
To tho lion. Members of the Scn-
ato and Council Gontlomcn:
I liavo no further business to
submit to your honorablo bodies.
Itcsp'ly D. W. Bubhyiiead
Principal Chief.
IIo could not have been more se-
verely polito and laconic had ho
been an old dug up and resuscitated
Spartan. The contest is not unlike
in results to tho tragedy of the Kil-
kenny cats nothing left but their
"talcs" sans delegation sans ap-
propriation and sans preparation of
any kind looking to business at
Washington. That which ho has
none in spite is nbout ns wise a
thing as he could have done in one
of his most dclibcrato moods.should
ono predicate benefits to bo derived
from the appointment of a dclcga-
gation upon what was dono by that
of 1833 when tho 3300000 appro-
priation was made. Hut this nor
anything kindred is what moved
him to such a determination. The
salvation of Phillips whom ho is
determined to protect at any haz-
ard to his own reputation for
reasons only known to himselfnnd
which ho is resolved to conceal is
at tho bottom of it.
It is getting to be n sort of king
nnd parliament state of affairs-
Charles and Cromwell and tho ex-
tremes to which matters may bo
carried in the stubbornness of one
to defend a favorite though by no
means a Stafford and tho determi
nation of tho other to rid the coun-
try of such a leech may not bo bo
tragic but will doubtless widen the
difTgrcnccs botweon tho two to tho
no goolTof tlio country.
Since tho summary announce-
ment that there was no furthor
business to prevent them from ad
journing tho senate not satisfied
with tho turn of affairs aro casting
about for a method to defeat Phil-
lips as attorney of tho nation in the
North Carolina Cherokee caHC as
from good nuthority it j said ho
has been employed by tho chief to
follow up tho suit to do which it
seems as a legal sequence he
lias a right having been such at-
torney in the case boforo the court of
claims. As such method there was
Bomo talk on tho streets this cvo-
ning nnd nt tho boarding houses
among tho members n resolution
j was to bo introduced directing that
the proceedings and testimony with
tho report of tho committco in the
$300000 transaction bo sent to the
secretary of tho interior and that
he bo roqucbted to examine them
and give his opinion as to tho suit-
ableness of W. A. Phillips being
tho agent or altornoy of tho nation
in any matter. It was expected
that tho session would continue un-
til 10 or 12 o'clock to-night and
thon adjourn without day.
December 15.
This morning tho council having
adjourned last night at 10 o'clock
thero was a general dispersion of
tho members and by noon tho
town was
'Uko banquet ball JcmWJ "
Nothing was dono all day ycfator-
day except the passage of an act to
pay the members nnd perhaps a
fow claims. Thoro was n report in
circulation that tho chief had sent
for Mr. Bell the evening previous)
to make somo propositions to him
and that ho refused to go until ho
was sent for tho second time. Mr.
Hell said that tho chief offered to
put him on tho delegation if ho
would agree to corUin things in ro-
latiou to Phillips but ho dcclinod
on tho grounds that he was not yot
ready to cuter tho dark shades of
political death at homo. Scitiuo.

THE COMMISSIONER'S VIEW.
This is what Commissioner
Atkins says obout the Indian Tor-
ritory in his late report:
What practical development
lies beforo tho Indians of tho Jn-
dian Territory it is impossible to
foresee: but one tliimr is evident.
Tho idea of maintaining permanent
ly an tmpenum in emjeno such as
now exists must in somo respcel
bo abandoned. Tho idea of I
dian nationality Is fast fading
away nnd tho moro intelligent
inai.ins are awaking to that fact.
In n word tho Indians of tho In-
dian Territory must soonor or later
break up their tribal relations
tako their lands in severalty and
to al! interests and purposes be-
como citizens of tbo United States
and bo amcnablo to its laws as
well as to enjoy its high and
distinguished privileges. When
that is done they will bo prepared
to disposo of tho surplus lands they
p.n to tho best advantago to
themselves and in a sniritnro bono
publico.

VETO MESSAGE.
KlICCTIVr DltfARTMCtT O. N )
TiiiLicqcAii. IXcembir Sd lxa (
To the Honorable the Senate in Reg-
ular Session: i
Gentlemen: I herewith return
tho accompanying bill entitled
"an act providing for the navmont
oi mo money received as tax for
stock grazing upon Cherokco lands
west of the DG por capita for your
rcconsiucraiion lor the lollowing
reasons:
The bill provides for tho per cap.
ita distribution of certain surplus
funds in the na'.ion d treasury
among somo Cherokco citizens
wiuic excluding other citizens.
Tho funds aro termed surplus be-
causo they are not used to defray
tho expenses of tho government.
Tho question in this caso is
whether tho bill is in conformity
with tho constitution. If it is not
section 7th nrticlo 4th of the con-
stitution has imposed upon me as
principal chief the duty to pre
serve protect and defend tho con
stitution of tho Chcrokeo nation.
and will not permit mo to approve
UIO 1)111.
Tho kgislaluro appropriates at
vnrious times certain sums from tho
public funds sometimes for one
cause and sometimes for another.
Somotimos a less a.ul Bometimcs a
larger sum at times for the benefit
of citizens and at others of foreign-
ers somotimes in settlement of ex-
press orimplied contracts and some-
times as a gift to the destitute All
of the immopse sums accruing year-
ly from tho notional investments
and dovotod to general purposes
liavo been thus expended for manv
years and tho constitutionality of
tho different appropriations has
never been questioned although
their justice and expediency may
liavo been.
Is then the disposition of the pub-
lic funds left by the constilution en-
tirely nt the discretion of the
national council? In other words
is tho national council nuthorizeu
ns the rcpresentntivc of the nation
to expend tho money belonging to
tho nation in any manner and for
any purpose that it may boo proper?
nnd does no member of your honor-
nblo body or of tho other branch of
tho legislature care so littlo for tho
preservation of their nation as to
deny or rcpudiato any of tho en-
gagements to carry out which tho
good faith of tho nation is pledged.
Having mado tho treaty in good
faith tho next step for tho parties
was to oxecuto it in cood faith. As
tho treaty vested cortain Indians
and colored persons "with all tho
rights of native Chcrokecs" with-
out doflning what their rights wero
n definition of these rights became
immediately necessary. Who thon
woio authorized to settle what rights
were meant by the treaty ns "tho
rights of nativo Cherokecs" and
has that authority been exercised
and tho question settled? If so this
bill as well as all others must con-
form to tho definition given or tho
treaty will be violated.
Section 20 article 20 of the con-
Etitution ns it then wns. provided
that acknowledged treaties shall bo
tho "fiupronio law of the land" and
the national council shall have tho
Bole power of deciding on tho con-
Btruclion of all treaty stipulations.
This provision makes it clear
that all troaty stipulations shall bo
understood nnd carried out ns those
stipulations ns construed by tho
national council.
Acting under this authority ol tho
constitution tho national council on
Nov. 20 1800 passed an act do-
clarinc its nurnoso to carrv out in
good luitli All ol its obligations un-
ucr mo treaty oi imi by enacting
nmendmont8 to tho constitution
construing and enforcingsaid treaty
so far an this nation is concerned
which amendments wero provided
to bo uud were Bubmlttcd to n cen-
ornl convention of tho people for
their rntificntinn.niid wero rntificd.
How thon did tho couiinl con-
strue and what wnc mennt by "nil
tho rights of native Chcrokces?"
Tliccduncll construed this phrnra
by making tlio colored norsons do-
ecrlbed by tho Oth urtfclo of tho
I treaty and bv mnkinrr nil (tin Tn.
rlfnna ! cl.X.11 fc. 3....;i .." .l"
ll. . (Ci! .!.!. . . I
resident Chciokccs as regards tho
rights of citizenship in this nation.
Having thus Bottled that tho
rights of native Chcrokces wero tho
rights of citizenship and having
conferred such rights in compliance
with tho treaty it is plain from
what has gono before thnt no rights
thnt boloilg to citizenship can be
denied to thoso colored nnd adopt-
cd Indian citizens without n viola-
tion of treaty.
To whom docs this money belong
as it stands beforo it division?
To tho Cherokee nation.
Who compose tho Cherokee na-
tion? Tho citizens of tho nation.
Then tho monoy bolongs to tho
citizent of tho nation and it not
needed for governmental purposes
is subject to an equal division
among thorn. Again tho treaty
declares and'provides that nil tho
laws of tho Cliorokco nation shall
bo "uniform." Tho members of
tho nntiounl council will not pro-
tend that this money belongs to
them to do as thoy pfcaso with it.
If they have any control ovor it it
is becauso it belongs to their con-
stituents Mio members of the na-
tion. Who aro they? All tho cit-
izens of tho Cliorokco nation.
Tho main tho only reason why
this bill has been advocated is bo-
causo tho nation when it adopted
colored Indian citizcnsand did not
rcnuiro them to nav for their shares
in tho outlet. If they had paid how
would thoy liavo been secured in
their Bharcs? Thero could liavo
been but ono way. namoly by
making them full and equal citizens
of the nation.
This bill now denies those rights
to thoso classes of our citizens and
in so doing annuls all that has been
dono to carry tho treaty of 1SG0 in-
to effect and puts this nation in the
attitude of being falso to its obliga-
tions as thoso obligations have
been construed in conformity with
tho constitution. For thoso reasons
I respectfully return the bill with-
out my signature.
Very Respectfully
I). W. lllSIlYHKAU.
I hereby certify that tho aforo-
going is a true and literal copy of
