Congress has refused to make these appropriations, and the refusal may be justified by safiug, that, while the treaty provisions referred to have not been observed to the letter, the failure to give to them effect has been the fault of the Indiana, since if at any time they had de-manded school-houses and teachers for every thirty of their children, the demand would have been complied with. Rut at no time hare these Indians given any evidence that they would supply each of the neces-sary number of school-houses with its thirty children. SUBSISTENCE SUPPLIES.
