MUsCAGEE, l. T., September IL
General j. P c, Shanks, SPECIAL, L. S.
Commissioner, arrived in the Territory
to-dry. He Is on his WAY TO the Chica-
saw nation, TO attend their national coun-
Gil now in session at Fishimingo, with 4
view to settle the future status of the
colored people held as slaves by the In.
dians before the emancipation. By
provision of the treaty of 1866, the
United States agreed to pay the Choctaws
and CEickasaws the proceeds of the sale
of leased lands west Of 9S', owned by
them, the sum of 100000 contingent
upon their admitting former slaves and
their descendants to the rights Of citizen
ship and 40 acres of land IN the nation,
or failing TO do this the United States
were to remove the colored people at the
end of thirty days from the expiration OF
TWO years, deducting that amount from
their national funds and apply it 10 the
expense of their removal from the limits
of the nation, which has not been done.
Ii is hoped the vexed question will be
definitely settled now, Us much dissatis-
faction has grown out of the non-fulill-
ment Of the treaty.
