Tbe remnant of tbe Catawba

appropriated to. these faithful red
men. , They now receive "loOO
alio nail 7 for distribution among
tbe members of tbe tribe and $290
for a school in the reservation. If
we are not mistaken, tbe State
treaty' agreed to par them $9,000
annually for 09 years. That limit
has long iace pass d, but the
State continues to hold the 20
miles tquare ceded to it by the
Catawbas. They bave been dis
possessed of their lands without
hope of reclamation and the State
oaght to treat them fairly by
appropriating yearly to the pare
