The Negro Hegfra to Indiana.
| INDIANAPOLIS, IND, Oct. 4.-The
| Journal attempted to go back on the negro
| importation from Louisville, and made the
charge direct that Austin 81. Brown, chair
man of the County Democratic Central
| Committee, brought the men here. This
| charge of the Journal, if true, would send
Brown to the peDitentiary; consequently
Brown brings suit for libel, and lays his
claim at $4,000 damages. The negroes
arrested are still under bonds. The trial
lasted all day, and the evidence sustained
the charge made in the special of yesterday.
| They are still under bonds. The Justice
will render his decision tomorrow. It is
the most fragrant and bold outrage ever at
tempted on the elective franchise in Indi-
ana. The arrest and imprisonment of these
negroes viii have good effect in lettering
| similar squads from coming over.
Bets are freely offered on Hendricks, but
| no takers. The Sentinel again, in its paper
| tomorrow, will make its charge against
Holloway more specific, and in such way
that that gentleman must bring a suit in
libel or acknowledge the charge as true.

Pennsylvania.
Reliable advices from PENNSYLVANIA re-
present that the arrangements of the
Democrats for preventing fraud in Phila-
| delphia, are perfecting, and that the major
part of the frauds will be baffled. The
ring people are badly scared. Cameron is
in very bad humor, and Swears that
| everything has gone to the devil. Gov.
Geary has pardoned another penitentiaFy
| bird named Pat Hesler, who had been con-
| victed of murder, because he is supposed
to have some influence near Pottsville; but
in spite of every device the election of
Buckalew is certain by large majority.

The black registry in this city is short

a Very Large Scandal.
The act of Congress of 4th of June last
creating a new judicial district IN North
Carolina failed to provide for a United
States Marshal The Federal officers were
so engrosSed with politics that it was only
the other day that the action of the Gov
eminent was invoked in order to supply
this deficiency and provide the machinery.
To conciliate the population, the Depart
nent of Justice has undertaken to creates
new Office, named its Disbursement agent,
TO take the place of the Marshal, without
any law or authority whatever.
They have conferred this appoint
ment on the same Marshal (Carrow) who
drew the extraordinary sum of 100000 for
judiciary expenses prior to the Moth Caro-
lima election, and have given him $250,000
for his present purposes. More would
have been given him, but the judiciary fund
is running low. Carrow states that enough
Democrats in the Legislature will be bought
up TO send John Pool back to the United
States Senate.
Juba1 Early for Greeley.
Gen. Jubal Early, the most influential
Bourbon Democrat in Virginia, has finally
declared for Greeley on the ground that, to
preserve neutrality in such a crisis would be
giving aid and comfort to the worst enemies
of his native State, ard that any alliance,
concert or cooperation with the Radical
party will inevitably bring contamination.

NEW YORK, Oct. 3.-The Posts spe- |
Gals from Washington tonight indicate |
that the treasury officials there are in a |
state of terror over what it calls the "politi- |
cal conspiracy of Greeley leaders to attack |
the irregularities in the treasury depart

meets SchuIz's presence with the impend-

defense in advance. He says the document

Ex-Gov. Curtin interviewed.
In correspondents interview with ex-
Gov. Curtin, two days ago, the following
conversation occurred
Correspondent: What is the secret of
Cameron's bitterness towards yourself?
Curtin: | think in 1865 was the first |
saw of it. Cameron wanted one vote to I
be elected TO the Senate. He made arrange
ments with member of the legislature to
give him (Cameron) the vote. When it
came to be time 10 vote, Buckalew was
one ahead. 1t leaked out that Cameron
had Democratic vote, and Democrats
came up from Philadelphia in crowds, and
the man Cameron bad gained over was so
frightened he dared not vote as be had
promised. Ifhe had, il is the belief they
would have killed him. Cameron's friends
wanted me to call out the military, but
had no power to do this under the constitu-
ton, and from that time Cameron has been
my enemy.
Do you think Cameron is spending much
money to elect Hartrsft?
Yes; there is no doubt Of it.
