Two of these sachemships have been filled but once since their crea- 
tion.  Hd-yo-went'-had and Da-gi-no-we'-da consented to take the office 
among the Mohawk sachems, and to leave their names in the list upon con- 
dition that after their demise the two should remain thereafter vacant. 
They were installed upon these terms, and the stipulation has been 
observed to the present day. At all councils for the investiture of sachems 
their names are still called with the others as a tribute of respect to their 
memory. ‘The general council, therefore, consisted of but forty-eight 
members. 
Each sachem had an assistant sachem, who was elected by the gens of 
his principal from among its members, and who was installed with the same 
forms and ceremonies. He was styled an “aid.” It was his duty to stand 
behind his superior on all occasions of ceremony, to act as his messenger, 
and in general to be subject to his directions. It gave to the aid the office 
of chief, and rendered probable his election as the successor of his principal 
after the decease of the latter. In their figurative language these aids of 
the sachems were styled ‘‘ Braces in the Long House,” which symbolized 
the confederacy.
