'excaus investigation" as we are
perfectly willing to see every negro
in the South go wherver it snsts hi
We can spare them, and God speed
them on their journey, but as a
matter ofinterest,w we give below the
testimony of an Indiana witness
before the committee on last Sat
urday:
Before the Senate"Exodu,"Com
mittee to-day the examination OF
NJ. L. Lewmau, Sheriff at Geen-
castle, Indiana, was concluded. He
testified, in reply to questions by
MIR. Voo, hees, that he met aud had
an interview with q colored man,
named Heath, who came on a mail
Car flom Washington 10 G,eencas
tie over The VaDdalia road. The
mail ron'e agents name was Rey'
noids Witness could not say
whether it was violation of the
Law to allow persons to ,ide on
mail cars Heath told witness the
people on the Car had treated him
kindly. Heath was trying to tind
locations for colored emigran's,and
told witness his object in the first
place was to get to X ,nsas, but at
Washington, Mr.. Adams, the sec
retary of the E,nisraur Aid Society
asked him to stop at Indianapolis.
lie bad letters to Judge Ma,tiudale
and Colonel Holloway, promipent
Indiana Republicans. Que reason
for the coloted people leaving
North Carolina was 10 better THEN
condi ion, and another reason was
that their friends In Washington
desired as many of them as posi-
hle to get out of North Carolina
and into Indiana before the census
was taken about May lst, so as to
decrease the representation OF
North Carolina and Increase that
of Indiana. Ten thousand Intend
ed to come. He supposed that
when he was making these state
can. lie said the Republicans had
proposed 10 pay half the expenses
OF the trip. Witness could not re-
member the mention Of any name
but that Of Adams.
On crcss-examination by Mr..
Window, witness stated that his
county Is well settled mp. There is
no demand tor labor there. The
dissatisfaction on account of the
emigration is not because of the
emisrants' color, but because they
reach there destitute, and have to
be supported by the county, and
because they overstock the labor
market. There is ill feeling among
the laborers of both political par
ties.

A maiden sits in a tiny bark,
Singing SO sweet y;
The boatman he is grim and dark.
Rowing so feeily.
The stream is narrow. the banks are fair
''Rest thee. good master.''
Idle her longing. vain her prayer,
-Hs.rows the faster.
Anon, they float on river wide;
A mighty river.
Instead OF flowers by the water side
Pale aSpens quiver.
And 10! woman where sat the maid
Who sang so sweetiy;
The bQatman, grim and undismayed,
Still rowing fieetiy.
On and on. till they reach the sea
That flows forever;
And drift away on the ocean free,
Returning never.
And vain it is for earthly eye
TO follow thither;
And vaiuly mortal tongue may cry,
"Gone-whither,w hither?''

The Elm City Shirt Company make very fine shirt. They pay special attention to making shirts of the best quality and turn out of experience in the business and employ the most skilled labor to be found. and each de- pertinent is under careful supervision, with superintendent for each. Their shirts are specially in favor, first because of their fine quality and excellent make; second, because they have an improved neck-band and yoke, giving great ease and freedom about the neck and shoulders; third, because of the patent bosom which, while of the most approved shape worn, cannot crack along the sides of the bosom and fray out as so many shirts un- fortunately do; while at the same time the edges of the bosom do not year out. In short their shirts are in demand all over the country and in great favor with wearers of good article. The capacity of the concern is somewhere between 125 and 15O hands, and they secure a large number of orders from New Haven shirt wearers. Their work is entirely custom work, as perfect as can be found in the United States. New Haven friends wishing to give them 2 call are in formed that their establishment is at No. 90 Court street, corner of State, the old and well known stand. MT. George P. Marvin is the secretary of the company, and MT. Stephen Mix general superintendent. What recom- mends the work still further to those who like to wear nice shirts is their being so finely laundried. All their work is laundried on the premises in frst-class manner
