SIR: Referring to my last two annual reports, where the embarrassed Pxéigamxxgj condition of the Stockbridge and Munsee Indians is discussed, and to the ,;,_,,,Q,,_ paragraph of the general Indian appropriation bill, of the 3d March, 1855, Stat. at Large, vol. x, p. 699, where there is appropriated, “For the purpose of enabling the President to treat with, and arrange the dif- ficulties existing among the Stockbridge and Munsee Indians, of Lake VVinnebago, in the State of Wisconsin, arising out of the acts of Congress of third March, eighteen hundred and forty-three, and August sixth, eighteen hundred and forty-six, and the treaty of twenty-fourth of November, eighteen hundred and forty-eight, in such manner as may be just to the Indians, and with their assent, and not inconsistent with the legal rights of white persons who may reside on the Stockbridge reserve, of the claim of the United States under the treaty of eighteen hundred and forty-eight, the sum of fifteen hundred dollars ; ” and also to the treaty which was made between these Indians and Superintendent Francis Huebschmann, during the last summer, which, for reasons then given you, was disapproved of, I have now the honor to send up a treaty concluded with them, on the 5th ultimo, by Superintendent Hucbschmann, the provisions of which are approved by me, and would recommend, if you agree, that it be laid before the President, to the end, if approved by him, that it may be sent to the Senate for its constitutional action thereon. And I herewith transmit a copy of the letter of the superintendent sending on said treaty, together with a copy of a power of attorney from certain Munsees to Isaac Durkce, `William Miohawk, and Joshua Willson, for purposes therein indicated. I would merely remark that, by locating the Stockbridges in Wisconsixi, instead of Miinnesota, about $20,000 of expense would be saved in removal, while a location in Minnesota. could not be more out of the way of the whites, and the lands there would be worth to the government at least as much as the price to be paid the Menomonees. Very respectfully, your obedient servant, GEO. WV. INIANYPENNY, C’0mmissz°0ner. Hon. Ronnnr LICCLEIILAND, Secretary of the Interior.
