the President Of the United States, in making his
appontmen to fill the vacancy:-Thev presuming
INC Character Of the deceased is fully known to
the President. Many of the Choctaws have ex-
pressed their entire confidence in the integrity
and qualifications of Mr.. John B. Luce, the acting
Secretary of Maj. ARMSTRONG, and would be glad
OF his appointment. And again, Capt. BabbeH,
OF Inc U. 5. army, is recommended as q man
more luIIy competent and well calculated to be
me Choctaw Agent And by others, the Hon.
lhoma' l.. Mckinney. formerly a Commissioner
OF indian Affairs, at Washington, is strongly re-
commended as a man altogether friendly disposed
~ the "c'i'heing OF the Indians generally, and is
fully qualified for the office, and would gryc gen
eIal satisfaction, &c, &c. And lastly. though
not least amongst the greatest, Col. A. III. ".
opshaw, the present Agent for the Chickasaws.
IS preferred and recommended most cordially by
both, the Choctaws ana Chickasaws, as Il mau
every way qualified TO fill the office. A. an evil
denco OF his fitness, no!hlng is palmer 10 the
'hqmrIng mind, than the general satisfaction Of
his acts TO the whole Cmckasaw tribe. He has
done much for the Chckosaws, and has success
fully sustained tho policy Of the Government for
tho promotion Of that tribe. Many prefer his np.
Pontment on account of his entire acquaintance
with the general rcutinc of business relative 10
the vacated Office. And in the event that the in
tended separation Of the Office of Superintendent
from that of the Choctaw Agency, be effected,
the writer Of this has hesitation in saying that
such 4 course would, doubtless. be productive Of
Il sa,uary and satisfactory result: and although
he has material objection to tn, Sc who have
been named above suitable persons for the uffcr,
but that he ou'd most earnestly urge the request
to all concerned, TO furn their cyeS on Colonel \.
NJ. NJ. CPoHAW to fill the office when separ Gated.
