Mr. KASSON. I wish to say, touching the point made by the Gentfrom Pennsylvania, that the amounts to which he refers are by no means so large as I gathered his imPression to be from the statement he made a little while ago. There are amounts not called for by the treaties in the sense of being specially stipulated, but they come under the head of transportation, which cannot be accurately estimated for the reason that the contracts are in future . The amounts, therefore, can only be determined when the contracts are made and executed. But the transportation is a necessary result of the treaties. It is necessary to give the goods to the Indians, and so it is with the amounts coming under the head of insurance. That covers all the amounts to which I suppose the gentleman refers except those relating to general and incidental expenses of the indian service, and those are customary and as indispensable as they are customary, although the amounts are necessarily larger than I wish they were. The amount appropriated by this bill is, in round numbers, $2, 550,000. I stated on a previous occasion that the amounts had grown continuously and very largely with the success ive appropriations required for this service. For example, in the year 1829 the appropriations amounted, in round numbers, to $199,000; in 1839 to $60, 300. The bureau was transferred in 1849 from the War to the interior Dept, which was then organized. The appropriations for that year were a little short of $1,000,000. In 1861, the year of the beginning of the late war of the rebellion, our Indian appropriations were $1, 822,000; in 1863 they were about the same sum. In 1864the appropriations arose to over 2 millions; in 1865 to over 2 and a quarter millions. Now, in regard to the appropriations for 1861, that is at the last session of the Present Congress, I desire to make a particular statement. Preliminary to that statement I send to the Clerk's desk, and ask to have read, a statement made on that subject by the Gentfrom Minnesota, [Mr. WINDoM] the chair man of the ComIndAffrs.
