COLONIZATION OF INDIANA--NEGRo EXODUS

state Register.
very considerable degree Of excite
ment, mingled with great indignation, was
manifested in the city yesterday upon the
fact becoming known, beyond peradvent-
ure, that large numbers of negroes were
leaving for Indiana, for the avowed pur-
pose of participating in the election which
takes place in that state to-day. We have
never taken great amount of stock in the
cry OF fraud, colonization" etc. bur from
what has taken place under our
very eyes within tie past few
hours, we are no longer permitted to
doubt that the enterprising republican pol
iticians Of Indiana have been for some time
past engaged in a systematic and stupen-
dous work of negro colonization. As long
ago as last August, Justice john s. Condell,
Jr., by an attachment proceeding com
menced IN his court by one negro against
another, got onto an exodus commenced
that early, Following up the clue that he
then obtained, he succeeded in getting pos
session Of the names of about thirty ne
groes, some of whom had resided here for
years, who on the 9th Of that month, left
for Indiana in company with an agent.
He also learned that they went thither for
the purpose Of voting. The names were for
warded to Hon. VIM. II. English in re-
spouse to telegram from him. On Sun
day night the presence Of a large number
OF negroes at the Wabash depot led to an
investigation, and it was found that they
purchased tickets for Danville and return
One OF the number became confidential
with gentleman whom he mis-
took for republican, and to
him confded the fact that there were thirty
three of the party; that they we're going to
Danvlle, and would there be met by spe-
cial train and conveyed to point named
by him in Indiana. He said few of the
number resided i'll that state, but that
majority of them did not. The resident
members of the party, however, would
see that they all got their votes in.
On the ten o'clock train Yesterday
morning, another party Of perhaps twenty or
twenty-five left. They were we'll supplied
with money, which they displayed freely,

which they were preparing at the instiga-
ton Of their republican masters. Many
negro women IN the eastern part of the
city were interviewed during the day, and
told freely that their "men' had gone to
Indiana to vote, and declared in great glee
that it didn't cost them nothn', neither"
The matter was open and notorious and was
yariously commented upon. Democrats ex-
pressed virtueus indignation; decent re-
publicans shook their heads and expressed
disapprobation, but the disreputable
machine element chuckled shame
lessly over it, and "badgered" democrats
much as they did in regard to the dampa-
bic returning boards outrage Of four years
ago Indiana democrats were duly notified
by wire of what was going on, and in re-
Spouse to telegram for detective to be
sent on the state central committee last
night dispatched Marshal Fountain to the
scene Of the contemplated outrage, and it
is hoped he may be successful in getting
some of the black scoundrels behind the
bars of Hoozier prison. These creatures
have no more conception of the duties per-
tanning to citizenship than have an equal
number OF hogs, and it might serve good
purpose if some of them should get their
black carcasses filled with lead
