The declared intention to proceed with chartered boats to remote negroes ne-groes from the Mississippi Valley, under the alleged advice and promised protection of the President, has created mucd indignation among the members of the Mississippi and Louisiana delegations.

Upon being informed in-formed by King that the impression was being conveyed among the colored people of bis district that government would sustain thera in emigrating westward, the President said there was no foundation founda-tion whatever for the circulation of such an idea. He regarded the story as being unfortunate, inasmuch as it might tend tn mislead those contemplating contem-plating emigration. |
