Messrs. Sells q Co.. ST. Louis:

ENTLEMEN-Referrlng to the subject of
youc recent letter, / would state that the
Cnlssaries oil some one tell the negroes here
that they will be furnished by the govern
ment with h I6, implements and provisions
on ten years credit; and they are distributing
secretly, Illustrated hand bills, representing
enormous potatoes, apples, peaches and pro-
digious growths OF corn, ETC., as the yield OF
the lands, and black men riding in carriages,
smoking cigars and wearing enormous gold
watch-chains, ETC., as the ordinary condition
OF the darky in Kansas, aud the poor
creatures believe it all st. Louis will feel
the exodus, as every one who goes is that
many less for you to supply. There is abso-
lutely no reason Why they should leave, save
for the lying representations made by these
secret emlssaries. Who can be at the bottom
of it all? | notice the terrible stories
told by some of the emigrants of
here by the whites, and some papers,
particularly the Globe Democrat, seem TO ex-
ult in giving credence to them. | think
would hear of such occurrences if they really
took place, and pledge you my honor, so far
as | know and believe, nothing of the kind
has ever happened here. What are our lands
worth without labor? Would we not be
senselesS idiots to drive away our sole depend
enoe for working them? The negroes are ten
to one here, and have just voted for the cam
didates of their choice. Our police jury,
sheriff, recorder, deputy clerk, senator and
representative are all negroes. The negroes
dominate over us, not we them, and pretty
mess the make Of it. | wish some of those
who write thus slanderously of us had to live
here for a time. | can assure you they would
soon give the public far different view of
the situation than that given by few igno-

Innocence" and to EmbRrraas or
Break Down the Planting
Interest.

st. Louis Republican: The following pri-
vate letter, receive d by Messrs. Sells & Co.,
of this city, from East Carroll parish,
Louisiana, indicates very plainly that the
negroes who are leaving that portion of the
south for Kansas, are the dupes either OF
some scheme to rob them of what little they
have or OF some conspiracy to lnJure and en-
barrass the planting interests of the south,
which they are deserving. The letter Is
written by an entirely responsible party, and
is of interest as rejecting some little light
upon a subject concerning which a good deal
OF Information yet remains to be ascertalned:

Join it and pay all the dues. think every
minister in the city will do the same. No
people in the community have 90 many
calls on their sympathy and charity a. the
clergymsu. Not day passes without these
calls, and the aid il only limited by the
ability. If We had salaries OF $4,000
year We could place the whUieof IL IN poor
homes where 1t would do the most good.
like the cali Of ID. also for immediate action.
Let Us all respond at once 10 The calls OF the
committee. We will all give dt sioat, in

A dispatch from Fort Robinson, dated

The Cheyenne ssvages now here under a

decided TO send them to Fort Lsayenworth
for trial and such as were innocent would

came from the group Of warriors standing
near and not a word was said for five min

WHY THEY WILL BE BROUGHT HERE.
Dull Knife and his band are to be

demand of the Governor, in order that
strict and impartial investigation may dis
cover The members of the band who were
engaged in the horrible atrocities which
disgrsced the annals Of even border In

will be summon.d from all parts OF the
State through which the Indians travelled

Northwestern Kansas was the scene of
carnival of crime, the extent OF which was
only limited by the fact that this region
WAS a very sparsely settled one, the settle

and far between, but upon he unfortunate
pioneers whom the s.vages did meet they
wreaked terrible vengeance, the female
