Colored Emigration to Indiana.

Special to the Republican.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 5 A batch of
nearly 400 negroes arrived here to day
from North Carolina, making the second
lot within few days, on their way to In
diana. They are here on the promise
made by the National Aid society, which
has its headquarters 10 Washington, that
they should receive $40 and a ticket 10
Indiana. They will leave Tonight. The
local managers of this exodus movement
report thousands in North Carolina ready
TO follow under the promises to them,
which is, that there will be given $40 TO
every family and house free of rent in
Indiana,w with IS cents day until they fnd
employment.
1t the above is correct, and our CORES
pondent has the means of obtaining ac-
eurate information, then these North
Carolina negroes are likely to be the vic
tins of deliberate swindle. The so-caIed
National Aid society. has, it is hardly
necessary to say, no connection with the
government, and it has no capital to re-
deem its financial promises. When, there
fore, the negroes are told that $40 for
each family, house rent tree,and Is cents
day until they find employment,
await them in Indiana-they are told what
will turn out shameless lie Where is
any considerable number of emigrants?
Who is to guarantee the $40 for each
family. the rent free houses, and
the IS cents a day until work is
found? The plan evidently is to set
as many negroes as possible into Indiana
and then let them take care of themselves:
or rather, let the people OF Indiana take
care OF them, and pass round the hat tor
outside contributions as Kansas is doing
If the emigration amounts to anything,
the emigrants will find. when too late. that
they have been badly sold" and the
community upon which they are thrust
will have a most unWelc0ne reinforcement
OF paupers.
1t does not. we think, require a very
keen eye 10 see in the National Aid So
ciety' Republican organization for cam
paign purposes. There are several states
quite as eligible for immigration as Indi-
ana. and much nearer: bat Indiana hap
pens to be the only doubtful state" where
the Democratic majority may possibly be
overcome by the colonization process on
a liberal scale. 1t is absolutely necessary
for the Republicans to carry Indiana next
year. and this is one of the means they
propose to employ. The Republican man
ayers would not care if every colored emf
grant died of starvation the day after he
voted the Republican ticket, ALI they
want is to gain Indiana by these Imported
voters. Hence the bait thrown out by the
