 TREATY WITH THE CHICKASAWS. 1834. 457 three thousand dollars for fifteen years, be appropriated and applied under the direction of the Secretary of War, for the education and instruction within the United States, of such children male and female or either, as the seven persons named in the treaty to which this is a supplement, and their successors, with the approval of the agent, from time to time may select and recommend. Aivr. III. The Chickasaw nation desire to close finally, all the busi- A former reness they have on the east side of the Mississippi, that their Great Father, :°"‘6“§’¤ °°d°d may be no more troubled with their complaints, and to this end, they °’ ask the Government to receive from them a tract of land, of four miles square, heretofore reserved under the 4th article of their “Treaty of Am¤,P_1gg_ 181S," and to pay them within three months, from the date of this arrangement, the Government price of one dollar and a quarter per acre, for said reserve; and accordingly the same is agreed to, provided a satisfactory relinquishment of title from the parties interested, be filed with the Secretary of War, previous to said payment being made. ART. 4. Benj. Reynolds, agent at the time of paying their last an- Money stolen riuity, had stolen from him hy a negro slave of the Chickasaws, a box from '·h• ¤S°¤t· containing one thousand dollars _; the chiefs of the Chickasaw people satisfied of the fact, and hence unwilling to receive the lost amount from their agent, ask, and it is agreed, that the sum so stolen and lost, shall be passed to the credit of their nation by the United States, to be drawn on hereafter for their national purposes. Aer. V. The Chickasaw people are aware that one clerk is insufli- An additional cient to the bringing of their lands early into market; and rather than °E'l:eg’ b° aP' encounter the delay which must ensue, they prefer the increased expense P n ' of an additional one. It is therefore stipulated that the President shall appoint another clerk, at the same annual compensation, agreed upon by the “Treaty of Pontitock ;" who shall be paid afier the manner pre- Ante, p, 381. scribed therein. But whenever the President shall be of opinion that the services of any officer employed under this treaty, for the sale of lands can be dispensed with; he will in justice to the Chickasaws, and to save them from unnecessary expenses, discontinue the whole, or such as can be dispensed with.
