gent lady, ] was fortunate enough to OBJ
tain some Information in regard to the
very old colored woman / had failed TO
find when last wrote about the colored
exodus. Mrs. Trevan knows her very
well. With Elder TreAan she was instru-
mental in procuring her home, and the
old woman visits them quite frequently.
Her name is Blue, and she lives with a
family by the name OF Washington, sure
enough, but they reside couple of miles
from town. The smart old woman walks
the distance without any difficulty, not
withstandlng her los wears. Indeed, she
does not look nearly that old. Her hair is
not much gray, her figure Is erect, and her
step is active and firm. She is in posses
sion of most of her faculties, and is an in
teresting study.
Some idea OF the part she has played in
life may be gathered from the fact that
she was the mother of 20 children. Two
of her daughters had 20 children apiece,
and several ::of cher daughters gave birth
to from 10 to Is children. The decend-
ants of Mrs. Blue run up TO nearly 500.
In her hegirs from North Carolina, Mrs
Blue was accompanied by a venerable
daughter, 90 years of age. She WAS mar
ried last August to q man about her OWE
sse. They, with the mother, are quart
! cred at the Washington home, before mon
toned. The Washingtons, good people
have no children, and 10 the kindness o
their hearts have opened their home t.

of human nature. would be in their secOnC
childhood, sans everything which goes t.
make up useful and happy life. L.R.

Address Of the Immigrant Relief
Board to the Public

At mass meeting of the colored
citizens of indianapolis, held in Beth
ell A. NJ. E. church, on Monday even
ing, the oath of November, the un-
dersigned were appointed a com nittee
to devise ways and means Of caring
forany destitute immigrants who may
come to our State from the South.
We do not stop now to discuss the
causes that have led to this exodus
of our people from the South. We
simply say that no reasonable man
who mingles and converses with these
people can doubt that in the South
they are defrauded, prosecuted, pro-
scribed, denied their political rights
and treated in general with the most
inhuman barbarity. They leave their
homes to escape outrages to which nc
freeman should be subjected in free
country. They come to Indiana be-
cause they expect to find noblel
civilization, humane treatment, and
protection in their right to life, lib
erty and the pursuit of happiness
In this expectation they will not be
disappointed.
These people are our kindred
bound to US by the strongest ties that
bind men together, hence We feel il
an imperative duty to make provis
ion for the temporary relief Of any
who may be in need. We accord
ingly appeal to the generous people
of Indiana to aid us in this benevo
lent work by contributions of money
clothing and other necessaries
Contributions may be given to any
of the committee, or left with Rev

In another place In this issue we
reproduce an article from the Indi-
annapolis Leader, the colored mems
paper of Indiana, addressed to the
colored men of Grant county; adjur-
ing them to stand true and solid with
the Republican party. Every colOred
man in Grant county should read and
heed it.
In ans YER to to the intimations of
the Leader that there must be some
cause for cOlored men so voting, we
will say that, like some white men,
they permitted a few political and
general scoundrels to draw them
from the path of duty, but we think
they will not again do so. With the
Legislative power now in the hands
of the old time enslavers of the colored
people, the Democratic party, and the
possibility that within year the ex-
ecutive power may also be obtained
by the same power, the right of suf-
frage may be wrested from the colored
people. To make few now doubtful
States reliably Democratic by depriv-
ing colored men Of the right to vote
would be an act which the Democratic
party would quickly do if they had
the power Their right to suffrage is
not nearly so we'll established to day
as it was five years ago; for it is well
known that in several States the col
ored people are practically disfran-
chised by this same Democratic party,
and the only reason that it does not
disfranchise them in all the States is,
it does not possess the power to do so.
