From our Regular Correspondent
WAsnINGToN, December 5.-The conspi-
racy to send negroes into Indiana for the
purpose OF Radicalizing that State is attract
ing good deal OF attention here, and citi-
zens OF Indiana are excited and Indignant.
I met at the Capitol to-day State Senator
Foster, who resides in Ripley county, Ind,
and he said that up to date about two thou
sand negroes have been brought into his
State. The first lot (oi sixty consisted OF
fiity.six voters and four women, and the
Republicans were elated at the prospect
Since then, however, every negro voter who
has arrived has brought with him, on an
average, six non-volers,, consisting OF wo-
men and children, and this, not being what
the Radical conspirators barganed for,
has Disguised them with the move
ment. The result is that they are
not helping the destitute, and this falls
In many cases to the Democrats. "If." said
accord in search OF work and homes, no.
body would have said anything, but our
people are Indignant at the idea OF their
being brought there to overbalance the vote
OF the white men OF Indiana. Hence in
my own county no one will employ them
because public opinion is so strong against
it. The feeling, however, is not SO much
against the negro dupes as it is against their
white dupers." next inquired as to the
political effect this movement will have,
and he said that for every negro vote
the Republicans gain they will lose
several white votes. AS for the Democrats,
it has stirred them up to feyer-heat,
and made them more determined than ever
that Indiana shall remain true to her Demo
cratic principles. Mr.. Foster then Informed
me that be had not oalv talked with the ne
groes who had reached Indiana, but with
those be had seen here en- route to that State,
and they all said that great promises had
been made to them. For instance, one said
and pay him S15 Il month during the Win
ter, with increased wages in the spring.
Good farms, he bad been informed, were
cheap, and could be gotten by colored peo-
pie on easy terms. Others told similar stories,
and all agreed that white men and leading
negro politicians had been among them and
urged them TO leave their southern BONES
and 60 to Indiana. asked Mr.. Foster il q
good many had not come from Kentucky,
and he replied in the negative, adding that
| North Carolina had SO far furnished the
largest number. A Western Virginia Dem
ocrat who was present at this interview re-
marked that this was game that two could
play at, and it was easier to run white
voters irem the Republican New England
States into Connecticut and New Jersey
than it was to import negroes from the
far South to Indiana. THIS movement, and
the rumor that plot is on foot to cheat the
South I'm taking the census, convince
thoughtful Democrats that the Republicans
are certain OF losing New York and Indiana
in the event things are allowed to take their
natural course. And yet there are south.
crners who are deceived by their pretended
confidence OF their ability to elect Repub
lican President next fall.
