worth and property of the District There is no
doubt whatever that large body OF negroes over
800 in ALL were sent down into North Carolina 10
carry out the system in which they have had such
extensive practice here. The vehement uehial oi
member of the Board of Public Works OF compiiclty
in this vilany has only served to confirm the puohc
belief in the fact although covered up by the use o
base instruments. The same tning has been zone
here, without much care Of eoncealmeht' ny 'ne
same men. Why should they not extend the opera
ton to North Carolina where every vote had an e1
ceptiOna valuef
The truth about this expectation OF repeaters IL
daily coming to light. Some Of 1t is not now III
vuged, for prudential reasons but here are certain
leading facts which have been established Deyohu
all doubt.
The election in North Carolina took place Oh tne
LIST of August. The Vanderbilt, a steamer not no"
engaged in the Washington trade. was brought mere
under temporary commander for special service
The berths and best furniture were removed ana
contract made for trip to Norfolk and return, with
as many passengers" as could be slowed away
Five hundred dollars were paid down greenbaeks
by colored man for the round trip, who was put
forward to make the bargain and conceal his en-
poyers Between 500 and GOO-sOme say 7OO-men
composed the party. Not woman was OF the
crowd. The Vanderbilt left Washington on the
evening of the 9th of july four days before the
election in North Carolina, and returned here on
the morning of the 4th of August three days after
that election; the voyage thus consumed 2! days
Cotemporaneousl with this incident, large numbers
of negroes employed by contractors of the Board Oh
Public Works mysteriously disappeared, and reap
peared when the Vanderbilt returned. a poor at
tempt has been made to explain this migration OF
repeaters by calling it religious excursionW That
thin disguise has deceived nobody. Whoever heard
of negro excursion religious or social, extend
ing over such a length of time and without the
presence Of the female element, which always pre-
dominates on such occasionsi
1t also appears that about 200 repeaters were trans
ported by railroad, taking different route into
North Carolina. force of 500 900 was thus scat
tered bya precOucerted plan, and North Carolina
returned" for the Grant candidate. These trained
mercenaries are now TO be thrown into Pennsyl-
yania and utilized there for similar purpose The
money for this and other corruption will be fur
nished from the Treasury under the fraudulent de-
vices which have already been employed, without
stint or scruple. With falsifed public accounts.
forced balances and forged exhibits of debt and in
terest, backed by withdrawing Committees in Con-
gress, millions may be appropriated and stolen with
out detection. Let this warning be passed round.

A RELIGIOUS EXCURSION FOR NORTH
CAROLINA
Washington, Aug. as, 1872.

HOW THAT STATE WAS CARRIED-REPEATERS
SENT ON THE VANDERBILT-OTHER RE-
PEATERs SENT BY RAnRoAD-THE SAME
GAME IN PREPARATION FOR PENNSYLVANIA.
TO the Editor Of the Tribune.
SIR A desperate scheme has been hatched from
the fertile and vicious brain of Grants managers in
Pennsylvania and Indiana, with the collision and
concert Of the Administration and the Washington
Ring in the hope of carrying those States at the
October election. The plan is to colOnize 1900
5000 negroes from Kentucky in Indiana, among the
counties were the black race sufficiently
to make the experiment, and to offer a chance of
escaping detection. Negroes now in the employ of
the Boards of Public Works ere are TO be sent to
Pennsylvania under contracts for high wages and
expenses paid. Cameron was here yesterday and
has visited Washington twice recently to perfect
his INSCRIPTIONS work As the Grant men have no
hope of Kentucky the negroes can be spared from
that State without any disadvantage So far as this
District is concerned, the Philadelphia system of
counting out Liberal candidates has been adopted
and therefore the absence of few thousand staple
voters will not be felt when the Ring ticket Is to be
returned"
The Washington negroes who engage in this bust
ness have been thoroughly trained as repeaters and
probably excel all others by their perfection In this
respect. Experience and adroit handling have made
them dexterous They are thoroughly drilled in the
art of voting under various names, and of rapid
changes, by which personal identification is almost
impossible. The outrages Of this Territorial despo-
tism, by which the people plundered in worse
degree, relatively, than under Tammany have been
protected by Grant, who has personal reasons for
favorng the Ring, and sustained by the aid of regu
lsr "TepeAtSss hired 10 vets down the inteligenes
