Obstacles in the Way of Emigrauts.

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 13.--The Colored Relief
Club received letter today from the Presi-
dent of the Colonization Council of tho South
stating that since December 20 over 400
negro immigrants have left Caddo for Kansas,
and says fully thousand people in that sec
tion arc very anxious to leave, but they have
little money. The railroad company is will
ing to sell them tickets, but this man says
the whites in the neighborhood threaten
violence to the road If tho negroes
arc taken away. Tho consequence is that
those who have means are obliged TO cross the
country in wagons to Atlanta and there take
rail. A considerable number of refugees are
expected to arrive here Tomorrow, and the
relief board, which is wholly without means
to aid these people, appeal for assistance in
the shape of money, clothing &c.

The following has been received from Com.

in THB NATIONAL REPUBLICAN of yester-
day, relating to certain contract for Texas
cattle where Northern cattle only were adyer-
tised for. Tho only point of difference in the two

TO The Editor of The National Republican;
SIR | desire to correct a statement made In
your paper of this morning, which gives an incor-
rect impression of the facts connected with recent
letting of stock cattle
On The 30th OF December the Hon. Second Comp
troller, Judge Upton, came to my Office and said
that he noticed error In the contract len in his
office, to be filed there in that the Department had
accepted Northern Texas cattle when Missouri
and Kansas stock cattle had been called for. Tie
expressed q doubt rs 10 the legality of the cOntruc
thus made. immediately called the attention Of
the Secretary of the Interior to the matter aud the
next day, December 81, saw Judge Upton, and
we together examined the matter thoroughly, and
arrived at the following conclusion, viz. That
should send for the contractor and request him to
cancel that part of the contract He came hero
on tho 9th OF January and consented 10 amend tho
contract by leaving out all the Northern Texas
cattle so that the Department Is free 10 readyer-
tlse for cattle and make new contract
When the contract was let on the I'd OF December
the award was made by two members OF the Board
OF Indian Commissioners in the presence of the
Secretary of the Interior and myself. At that
letting, letter was read nom Agent j. D. Miles Of

A PROBABLE RESPITE.

THE CASE OF WILLIAM NEAL LAID
BEFORE THE U. s. SUPREME
COURT.
AT the last May term of Court
William Neal, colored, was convict
ed and sentenced to be hung on the
9th Of the present month, for COM
mitting an outrage on Mrs. Mar
garet Gosser, in Blackbird Hundred.
Anthony Higgins, Esq, appeared
as counsel for the accused, and be-
fore the trial commenced he petition
ed the Court for the removal of the
case to the u. S. Circuit Court, on
the ground that colored men were
by the laws of this State prohibited
from serving on juries.
The Court in an able reply re-
fused TO grant the petition, and the
trial was proceeded with, and result
ed in conviction.
A short time ago Mr.. Higgins OBJ
tanned from the Clerk of the Peace
transcript of the docket in the
case, and forwarded it to Justice
Harlan, of the Supreme Court of the
" HlJbu CUdIC5. AlbcI COllSulIdLlOl

communicated with Chief Justice

mend that respite be granted to

be argued at the coming session of
the Supreme Court, and should that
body grant it, Neal will probably be
removed to the u. 5. Circuit Court,
and given a new trial. Mr.. Higgins
is at New Castle to-day on business
