Whereas many citizens of this State in the years Eighteen hundred and Fifty-Nine and Eighteen hundred and Sixty, were employed in the service of the United States by the Agents of the Indian Department, and others furnished the Agents of the Government with supplies for the several Indian Reservations in California, upon the assurance and belief that the accounts therefor would be speedily paid, which has not to the present time been done, And Whereas there is now an unexpended balance in the Treasury of the United States of the appropriation for defraying the expenses of the Indian Service in this State, and which is applicable to the accounts mentioned, and which has been withheld from the objects intended by the Congress making said appropriation. Therefore–Be it Resolved by the Assembly, the Senate concurring–That our Senators be instructed and our Representatives requested to urge on the proper authorities in Washington, a prompt examination and settlement of the accounts aforesaid. Resolved–That the Governor be requested to transmit a copy of the foregoing to each of our Senators and Representatives in Congress, to the Secretary of the Interior and the Commissioner of Indian Affairs.
