There are now in Indiana about 345 Miamis, who did not go to Kansas when the tribe moved to that scction nnder the treaty of 1840. They are good citizens, many bcing thrifty farmers, giv- ing no trouble eitlher to their white ncighbors or to the Govern ment. There is also a smnall band called the Ecl River band of Mianis, residing in this State and in Michigan.

Cherokees. There are residing in tlhese States probably about 1700 Cherokees, who clected to remain, under the provisions re specting Cherokces nverse to removal, contained in the twelfth ar tiele of the treaty with the Cherokees of 1835. Under the Act of July 29th, 1818, a per capit transportation and subsistence fund of $53 33 was created and set apart for their benefit, in accord ance with a census-roll made under the provisions of said act; the interest on which fund, until such time as they shall individually remove to the Indian country, is the only money to which those named in said roll, who are living, or the heirs of those who have deccased, are entitled. This interest is too small to be of any ben- efit; and some action should be taken by Congress, withh a view of having all business matters between these Indians and the Gov ernment settled, by removing snch of them west as now desire to go, and paying those who decline to remove the per capita fund referred to. The Government has no agent residing with these Indiuns. In accordance with their earnestly expressed desire to be brouglit under the immediate charge of the Governnient, as its wards, Congress, by law approved Jaly 27th, 1868, directed that 1he Secretary of the Interior should cause the Commissioner of Indian Affairs to take the same superviscry charge of them as of other tribes of Indians; but this practieally amounts to nothing, in the absence of means to carry out the intention of the law with any bencücial result to the Indians. The condition of this people is represented to be deplorable. Before the late Rebellion they were living in good cireumstances, engaged, with all the success which could be expected, in farming, and in varions minor indus trial pursuits. Like all other inhabitants of this section, they suffered much during the war, and are now, from this and other causes, much impoverished.
