Money Tor the Freedmen's Bureau
The Secretary Of War to-day sent a commun ca
tion to the House, enclosing communication from
the Commissioner OF the Freedmens Bureau rela-
tive to the omission the part of the late Congress
to appropriate 100000 TO enable him to continue
the payment OF claims of colored soldiers and sail
ors during the fiscal year ending 1872, and asking
that the appropriation be made The War Depart
ment also asks for S50,00O to pay for horses and
other property lost or destroyed in the military
The Secretary OF State urges on Congress the ne
cessty OF making appropriation for defraying the
Expenses ef the Joint Oommission
to make the boundary between the United States
and the British Possessions, from thelLake OF the
Woods to the Rocky Mountains. lie says that cir
cumstances connected with the relations between
this Government and that OF Greet Britain render
M e thas desv ee as p6ssbe and It s
hoped that the matter may be acted on II possible,
before the adjOurnmsnt Of % the present session.
The Secretary Of the Interior, in communication
to Congress, says the appropriation made for the
Arapahe, Cheyenne Apache, K1owa, and Comauche
Indians during the second session OF the Forty
first Congress, will doubtless be exhausted by the
3Oth OF June next and should the feeding OF these
Indians be stopped after the ensuing July they Will
again scatter to the plains, being compelled to do
so to procure food
The labor and expense OF locating them where
they now are will have been of no use or permanent
benefit either to the Government or the Indians
besides they may commence depredating which
would result in another war and cost the Govern.
ment thousands of dollars while 1t would not cost
hundreds to feed them. The Secretary asks two
hnndred and fifty thousand dollars for this purpose
