property aforesaid, or any part thereof, on or before the first day of

title to their proportion of the annuities which, by the treaty of St.
Louis, were covenanted to be paid to the Sac tribe; and the United
States shall forever afterwards be exonerated from the payment of so
much of said annuities as, upon a fair distribution, would fall to the

contracting parties, unless the same shall be disapproved by the
President and Senate of the United States, or by the President only;
