SEYMOUR, October 3.--A gang Of
forty-four negroes arrived here at two
o'clock from Mitchell, Indiana. They
/ left Louisville Yesterday and went to
Mitchell Uia New Albany. Some Of
them said they were from Kentucky;
some claimed to be from Cairo, Illinois;
some refused to tell anything, but said
/ they knew their business. Most Of them
said they were going beyond Indianap-
oils to vote for Grant. They left here at
I fifteen minutes after eleven o'clock in
I the morning, on the indianapolis train.
( a dispatch was sent to that point as
soon as they left, notifying prominent
Democrat to look out for them. A heavy
set, black-whiskeredy villainOus-look-
ing man, said to he one Homady,
has been ranging between here and
Washington, Daviess county, for
two weeks, and is supposed to
be the principal agent for importing
these men. He was with General KIM
ball along the line of the Ohio and Mis-
sissippi railroad, and at Seymour on
Monday. Our friends throughout the
State should be vigilant, and spot these
fellows at every point. Their move
ments should be closely watched, and
information given of their movements.
The GRANTEES here laugh at it as a good
thing.
THE WHOLE GANG BACGED.
INDIANAPoLIs, INDIANA, October 8.
To-day, at the headquarters of the DEM
Ocrats, dispatch came that forty ne
grOes were coming here to vote, from
Louisville. The Democrats boarded the
train at the edge of the town, and took
possession of them, representing them
selves as Radicals. The negroes di-
vulged the whole plot. The negroes
were hurried to the Democratic head
quarters, and detained until warrants
could be issued against the leaders, who
were forthwith arrested under the State
law, and are now in prison. Their Of
Tense is a gross one against the laws of
the State, and will send them to the
peAitentiary. This, it is hoped, will be
a good warning against the outrages in
tended to be perpetrated by Radicals all
over the State. The names of the
negroes in prison are James Henderson,
Wilson B. Brumley, Edward Prather,
and William johnson. The testimony
before Justice SmOck ELECTED the facts
that they were furnished by Will c. Da-
vid with one hundred and four dollars
to pay transportation, and were prom
ised two dollars per day and board.
The company was composed of forty
two, and divided into squads. Eighteen
We're under command Of Brumley. He
says he has orders to 90 back to Ken
lucky for more men. He also states
that one of the headquarters for import
ed voters in Louisville is at the Custoni-
house, another located on the south side
of Green street, two doors west of First;
another on the south side of Madison, be-
tween East and Floyd. The court then
adjourned until this morning. The ne
groes were subsequently bailed by the
Radicals here. Additional arrests have
been made of the following Louisville
negroes: Phil. Piner, Lee Paine, Ham.
Parker, Henry jackson, John Buck,
John Robinson, Robert Montgomery,
John Crittenden, Joe Duncan, Bud
Dunn, James johnson.
