Indiana, and says that the farmers
about Terre Hante want sixty famil-
les, and in Rockville fifty families
will be given work at good wages.
They have made an arrangement by
which the through fare has been res
duced to sixteen dollars from Colds
borough to IndianaDoiis, and in Or
der to prevent the scheme from
getting into bad Ordor they will not
hereafter admit to their colonies any
persons who are not able topay their
fare. Perry says that the party that
was here recently In such an impe.
cunious condition was not under
their care. He claims to allow none
but intelligent and industrious ne
groes of good habits to join colonies,
and will not find places for any men
he cannot recommend.
Both Evans and Perry are school
teachers and preachers, and they
claim that their object is to remove
at least part of their race to coun-
try where they can improve in their
moral and social condition. They in
tend to canvass the State of Indiana
for places, and hope to take five
thousand coIored people out there
during the next six months. They
assert they will take out none who
are not provided for with labor in
advance, and do not expect any OPP
position from the people of Indiana.
The greatest demand is for house
servants, and Perry says he could
| find places for FIVE thousand women
if they were educated up to the
Northern system of domestic econo-
my, but he does not think North
Carolina plantation cook would suit
an Indiana mistress. This idea of a,
demand for negro labor in Indiana is
quite opposite to the view taken by
Senator Voorhees,, as given last nig..t.
1t is reasonable to suppose that Mr..
| VOORHEES, knows more about it than
strangers.
FEARFUL LOSS OF LIFE.
GLASGOW, SCOTLAND, Dec. 90
Last night Sunday very heavy
storm prevailed at Dundee, which
destroyed the centre portion of the
J Lrifl fhn INV
The train from Edinburgh, which
was en- the bridge at the moment
that 1t fell was ingulfed, and at least.
two hundred lives were lost. The
most fearful scenes took place among
those who were precipitated into the
water, as well as among those who
escaped instant death.
A LOSING GAME.
WASHINGTON, December 29.-The
phase of the Maine difficulty devel-
oped at Bangor is the staple of con-
versation in political circles here to-
night. A Western Republican sena-
tor of conservative tend, ncies, said
to night that he regarded the act of
Garcel0n and his advisers as little less
than an act of madness. He does not
think it could have had the sanction
of Tilden, as has been charged in
some quarters. Tilden is too sharp
and FAIRS icing to make so hideOus a
hlnnlpr INT
there should be no appeal to arms.
Public opinion, he thought, would
not only sweep Maine for the Re
publicans at the next election, but
the whole North as WE'LL. "The at.
tempt to carry Maine by fraud" said
the senator, lis a continuation Of
the scheme 70 carry the South for
Tilden in 1876. The Northern PEG
pie never can realize the extent to
which violence and fraud were re.
sorted to in that memorable cam.
paign by Democrats, and now they
are continuing the game. They care
not try violence, but they will play
their fraud trumpS for all they are
worth. But they will make terrible
blunder. The people of the North
will feel themselves outraged AS they
never were before, and they will lake
.heir revenge in their own way and
at the proper time" He thinks the
excitement occasioned by this daring
attempt 10 steal a state government
is healthy indication that the spirit
OF liberty is not yet dead but be-
lieves that the national conservatism.
OF the people of Maine, which they
have Inherited with their Saxon
blood, will prevent any resort to-
revolutionary methods as a redress of
grievances. The danger to our re.
publican institutions, he admits. is
very great, but much should be borne
