Upon Their own Confession.

Special to the Louisville Courier-Journal.
MOrtOn's VilIainy Unmasked.
SEYMOUR, IND, Oct. ga gang of for
ty-four negroes arrived here at 2 o'clock
from Mitchell, Indiana. They left Louis
vile yesterday and went to Mitchell via
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 bush
ness. Most of them said they were going
beyond indianapolis to vote for Grant.
They left here at 11:l5 a. m, on the In
dianap polls train. A dispatch was sent to
that point as soon as they left, notifying a
prominent Democrat to look out for them.
A heavy set, black-whiskered villainous
looking man, said to be one Homady, has
been raging between here and Whining on,
Davies county, for two weeks, and is sup
posed to be the principal agent for impor-
ting these men. He was with Gen. Kim
bali along the line of the o. & NJ. r. R.,
and at Seymour on Monday. Our friends
throughout the State should be vigilant and
spot these fellows at every point. Their
movements should be closely watched, and
information given Of their movements.
| The GRANTEES here laugh at it as good
thing.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Oct. 3.-To-day at
| the HEADQUARTERS of the Democrats dis
patch came that forty negroes were coming
here to vote, from Louisville. The Demo
| Gratis boarded the train at the edge OF town
and took possession of them, representing
themselves as Radicals. The negroes di-
yulged the whole plot. The negroes were
buried to the Democratic headquarters
and detained until warrants could be issued
against the leaders, who were forthwith
arrested under the State law, and are now
| in prison. Their offense is a gross one
| against the laws of the Stat, and viii send
| them to the penitentiary. This, it is
hoped, will be a good warning against the
| outrages intended TO be perpetrated by
Radicals all over the State. The names OF
the negroes in prison are James Henderson,
Wilson B. Brum.ey, Edward Prsther and
| William johnson. The testimony before
Justice Smock ELECTED the facts that they
were furnished by VIII G. David with $lO=
to pay transportation, and were promised
| 81 per day and board.
The company was composed OF forty
two, and divided into squads. Eighteen
were under command OF Brumley. lie
saws that he has orders TO go back to Ken
lucky for more men. He also states that
one of the headquarters for imported voters
| in Louisville is at the customhouse, another
located on the south side of Green street
two doors west of First; another on The
south side of Madison, between East anC
Floyd. The court then adjourned unit
this morning. The negroes were sUbse
quently bailed by the Radicals here. Add
tional arrests have been made Of the follow
ing Louisville negroes: Phil. Piner, Lei
Paine, Ham Parker, Henry Jackson, Joh1
Buck, John Robinson, Robt, Montgomery
John Chittenden, Joe Duncan, Bud Dunn
