ON THE GALPHIN CLAIM; It is. cerhaDs. due to the public as well as to the Hon. Secretary Crawford,! that of the several re ports from the committee of Congress on thia sub wet, we should, notwithstanding the pressure on Our columns, giye mat maue Dy inc majority oi me Committee, embracing little else than the mere facts in the case. It is made- by Mr. Burt, the chairman. It followihg is that report ; . . j Prior tb the year 17 3, George Galphiri, the origi- jjal claimant, was a licensed trader amongst the Crek and Cherokee Indians, in the" province of Oeoriria. These Indians became indebted to him and other traders i large sum's of money. George Galphin held against them' denlands itt his own right ana as asfcisfiwj oi other traitors, ine inaians are represented to have been destitute of the means of t t . ' 1 1 . . C i.1 paying these aeots wunout seiung a pari, oi iuese lands, and, in 1773. they ceded, lor this purpose, . to George the Third, King of Great Britain, a tract , of healthy and fertile country, containing aoout two millions hye hundred thousand acres, ine tract was accepted, and Commissioners were appointed to sell the, lands and pay the debts due to tne traders The lands were considered ample for that purpose but' the King carefully protested that the .govern ment ot Ureat Untam should not De uaoie ior any part of the' debt of the traders, in the event of the lands Droducinc an insufficient fund In that case . . V i .. ... A. x they agreed to lose a proportion to tne amount, oi their debts. . The traders, in consideration of the cession of the lands by the Indians, released their demands against thenl. Commissioners were ap pointed to sell the lands and apply the proceeds to the pavment of the debts, j The Governor and his council ascertained the sums due the traders res pectively and found due to George Galphin nine thousand seven hundred land ninety -one pounds, fifteen shillings and five penCe For this sum a cer tificate! was issued to him, dated the 2d day of May. 1775, The Cfcxnmissioners disposed of a portion of the lands, but hpw much does not appear, and ap plied the proceeds to the payment of expenses jvhich had been incurred in making the cession, and in performing their duties tinder it.j They applied hone of. the moncv to the debts, of the-traders. jGeorge Galphin. received nothing from jthem. Meantime the war of the revolution commenced, and jby its successful result the't execution' of the trust fwas defeated, and the lands themselves were no lon ger subject to the control of the King. . , The State of Georgia, in 1777, and subsequent years, granted to actual settlers, and to soldiers who had been faithful to the cause of independence, con siderable portions of her vacant lands, including the iland. which had been ceded by the Indians for pay bient of their debts to George Galphin and others. But no " means are .accessible of -ascertaining the quantity or value of these ;or the other vacant lands jwlrich Georgia granted as bounties to revolutionary soldiers) although there is evidence that a consider able portion of the lands ceded bv the Creeks and pherokees in 1773 was thus applied The fidelity Batisfaction of the claim as may at once demonstrate " debt had been appropriated to the public defence, the high estimation id which pa'.riothi services in the and a bounties to the officers and soldiers of G eor revolutionary war are at thia day held, and eThlce gia. who served in the ; war of Revolution.

A committee of. another legisla ture reported: "Impresed with the justice of claims similar to Mr. Galphin's, thelegislature of this State, in the year ltSO, did pass the act set forth in the memorial, thereby not only having assumed the debt, but guarantying its payment with interest; that the memorialist, short ly aft er the establ ish ment of independence, applied to the general assem bly of thi State to comply iwiih their 'solemn en i jgagements, but the funis of the country being small, 'and a report having gairieTgrbund that a provi-i ion for the discharge or such claims ha I been male bv Britain, the mem rialit was in the firt instance referred to Great Britain;" 'and they recommended Mthc propriety- of making such arraivjameuts fLr th? the State of Georgia, which could apply ; the pro ceeds tb the payment of a1! claims upon it, whereas the United States had no power to control the fund or execute the trust." A bill for the payment of this claim passed the Senate early in the first ses sion of the thirtieth Congress, and was sent to the House of Representatives the 19th of January, 18- 43. The 21st of that month it was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary, who reported it to the House the 20tb of February, 1848. The Senate report, which accompanied this bill, was based on the grounds that the claim was established by the comnussioncrs appointed Jo dispose of the lands which had been ceded by the Indians to pay the debts due to the traders; that there could be no question as to the justice of theciaim; that the rev olution, which George .Galphin had contributed U eifect, and which wrested these lands from th Crown cf Great Britain," was the act of all thr State, and not that particularly of the State c Georgia; that the Government of the United State succeeded to all ihuoblijra'.u n which rested ontl Crown, as far as c:aims of a character si mi ar to ih ; were concerned, that the lands charged with these War Department, and agent of tho claimants, did not deprive him of the rights he may have had as such agent, not would have justified him in hav- uig me cxamuiabioa ana ueuion oi me cuum by the Secretary of the Treasury suspeuded, The Presi dent added, that, in his opinion, if the claim was a just one. under the law of Congress it fchould hare been paid, no matter who were the parties interes- ted iu it; and tuat una was uue to the credit and good faith of the government. The decision of tho question of interest on the claim 4by Mr. Walker, tho late Secretary the i reasury, was urged by Uot. Urawford, and some of j his friends insisted on it with so much earnestness as induced Mr. Walker, to conclude that Got. Craw ford would be a member of the present cabinet. Gov. Crawford alluded to it on one occasion, in con nexion with the Attorney fJf-nral u nn in -orhlrH some of his Georgia frieuds wer concerned, but on ly to ask him to examine it at his leisure. He al luded to it three or four times in conversation with Mr. Meredith, before its decision, but only to ask ihat it miht bo decided without delay. Mr. John son, Mr. Meredith and Mr. Whittlesey, testified that j&r. Urawiord did rot, by any act or- expression, aiake known to them his interest or agency ia the claim, nor were they informed of it by any ether terson, whilst it was undecided," and there is 'no evidence before the committee- to the contrary.
