Indian appropriation bill advances with Cherokee payment
Sense Devotes Another Day to Consider the Subject at Vasatsaron January 15. The house moved the Indian appropriation bill forward with amendments. The key act provides a 1 660 000 payment to the Cherokee Nation. An amendment to end army officer services as Indian agents was ruled out of order. Other changes sought to raise funds for Arapaho and Cherokee subsistence and civilization. The first guaranty payment due March 4, 1595 to the Cherokee outlet was tied to obligations to Delaware Shawnee and Cherokee freedmen. The amendment was adopted after a point of order was overruled.
