WASHINGTON, Oct. IA week or two ago 1t
was stated that the managers Of the Ring in Pennsylya
MIA were engaged importing negroes from this District
and Maryland for the purposes Of colonization AZ fst
this was doubted by the friends of freq and fair
ballot OF course IL was strenuousy denied by the
members Of the Ring; but the evidence Is now complete
that regularly organized importation OF negroes espe
ciay from the northern counties OF Maryland has been
going on for time. Conductors on the Philadelphia
Wilmington and Baltimore Railroad state that several
thousand negroes have passed over that road WITHIN
the last few weeks. This, however, is not the
only evidence of the contemplated and partially ac-
compsbed fraud There persons here whose names
are withheld for the present who state that the agents
OF the Ring men sent out by Simon Cameron with the
ostensibe purpose Of engaging railroad hands, have
sent hundreds OF negroes into Pennsylvania gentle
man who met a carload Of them inquired where they
were going One Of them replied: ITO work for Massa
Cameron and vote for Massa Grant in Pennsylvania"
In most cases extravagant wages have been promised
these deuded creatures, but the understanding among
all Of them seemed TO be that the Job was not TO last
long They are to be scattered throughout the State
but their strength Will be thrown into Philadelphia
Pittsburgh and the larger towns where II is supposed
tbey will not be detected. or course they entirely
ignorant Of the character Of the business for which they
are wanted and also Of the penalty which the laws OF
Pennsylvania metes out to persons convicted OF illegal
voting.

states pretty we'll known there that about 1000
rouebs repeaers and baot-box suffers are under con
tract to leave city the latter part OF the week Tor
PHILADELPHIA They are under the management OF Bill
Tweed and Jimmy O'Brien, and will form part OF the
y 600 OF 1900 majority which the Ring men predict Tor
Harranf in Philadelphia, that is provided they are not
caught and dealt with according to law It's outJust
10 say here that the Board of Public Works OF this Dis
trct has had nothing TO do with the emigration OF the
negro voters TO Pennsylvania. Simon Camerons agents
relieved them Of any labOrs or responsibility In that
direction The registration here shows falling on OF
several thousand negro voters since last year.
