Senator Voorhees,, for the purpose of ascer
tanning who the Republican rascals are who
are subjecting the psuper negroes of North
Carolina to the most inhuman cruelties by
persuading them to leave their bones in
midwinter, so that they may be in Indiana
in time to vote the Republican ticket in
1880. has introduced in the Senate the fol-
lowing preamble and resolution:
Whereas, Large numbers of negroes from
Southern States, and especially from the State
of North Carolina, emigrating to the
Northern States, and especially to the State of
Indiana; and,
Whereas, 1t is currently alleged that they
are induced to do so by the unjust and cruel
conduct oftheir white fellow wcitizens toward
them in the South; therefore, be it
Resolved, That a committee of five members
of this body be appointed by its presiding
officer, whose duty it shall be to investigate
the causes which have led to the aforesaid
emigration, and to report the same to the
Senate; and said committee shall have power
to send for persons and papers, compel the at
tendance of witnesses and sit at any time.
A Washington special reports Senator
Voorhees, az saying, in reply to the inquiry,
"What the special purpose of the resolution
MdSG tudt IL WdS IL Ano Out huO C.toC III
fernsl damned political scoundreis are, who
are trying to food our State with lot of
worthless negroes. We propose to get at the
bottom facts and expose those rascals." The
Journal processes to be anxious to have the
investigation go on, and intimates that the
Republican party has no reason TO fear de
velopments. II the investigation does go
on it will be shown that set of Republican
desperadoes, as vile gang or scamps as ever
escaped ahalter, have gotten up the exodus
to fill Indiana with pauper negroes, IS
Republican voting machines in 1880
1t will be shown that they belong to the
same class of Republican villains who set
tbs Freedmans bank trap 20 rob the negro
It will be shown that some of these deprsved
scamps have their headquarters in Indiana,
others in Washington and others still in
North Carolina. 1t will be shown that their
representations to the poor ignorant pauper
negroes were deliberate, premedItated lies;
and that it has resulted in untold suffering
Senator Voorhees, is wise, timely and hu-
mana. A set of black aud white Rspubli-
can kidnapers ought not 10 be
permitted to- practise their scoundrelism
unexpcsed, unrebuked and UNPUBLISHED.
The Journal, in expressing its desire for an
investigation, says: Another
reason why we hope Senator Voorhees, reso
luton will pass and an investigation be had,
is in order TO prove the utter falsity of the
charge that the negro immigration move
ment is Republican political scheme.

he is in honesty ana intelligence, knows it
TO be lie when he makes the charge The
| fac. above stated, that nine.tenths OF those
who have come here are women and chill
dren, is in itself a sufficient reply TO the
| charge that 1t is q Republican scheme for the
! Importation OF voters; but we should like to
| have the fact established by an investigating
committee" We feel assured that the de
| praved and perfidlous rascals who have en-
! ticed the negroes from North Carolina to
Indianapolis believe they have covered up
their tracks SO adroitly that the truth can not
be arrived at, but they will find themselves
mistaken when the investigation begins.
| The negroes have been told that they
| would be required to vote the Republican
ticket, and it is well known that upon ar
irving here their very existence depends
upon their Willingness to vote that ticket or
none. The Journal has gone SO far in hold
ing out inducements to the pauper mascu-
line negroes as to say that "Noboiy's daugh
ters demand white husbands or none, except
| those of Democrats clearly intlmsting tc
the negroes that the daughters of parents o
other political persuasions would accept ne
gro husbands. The editor of the Journal
has placed the matter, by the
utterance of the vile innuendoS against the
4 daughters of Republicans and Independents
in the wors. partisan aspect. The negroes
coming, as well as those already here, are Leo
to conclude by the Journals implied slandel
that they can marry white wives in Indiana
for they are told that "Nobody's daughter
demand white husbands or none, except thos
, of Democrats" Is this language designed
i as a bid for negro votes? Is Indiana to b
I turned into a Shiny pool of miscegenatioI
that the Republican party may gain afev
votes in 1880? We invite Republics
: parents to read the Journals vile intimstiou
! tits enough to make every Republican famil
i in the State vomit as if each member ha
: taken pound of ipscac or drank qual
i of the essence of lobelia. By all means Il
the investigation begin and go forward, an
If it does not make Republican consprratoI
;. equirm like eels in hot water, then i; ma
= be set down as fact that strychinine won
kill sheep-stealing dogs.
