Of course I cannot answer that question. bat it is not put on that ground. The Senator from Ohio is mistaken when he says that by act of Congress we took this money and appropriated -it to take care of the loyal refugees. We took that money out of this fund without any authority of Congress. as I read the statutes. The first of them is in these words. which no more authorized it to be taken out of this fund than out of the Smithsonian fund: Provided. That all appropriations heretofore or hereafter made to carry into effect. treaty stipulations. or otherwise. in behalf of any tribe or tribes of Indians. all or any portion of whom shall be in a state of actual hostility to the Govern. meat of the United States. including the Cherokees.
