The Republican Plot in Indiana.

The Louisville Post has information
that Senator Dorsey is in Chicago in
consultation with John G. New, of Indi-
napolis, the object of their meeting being
to perfect arrangements to flood Indiana
with negroes and roughs from Chicago.
The attention of Mr.. English has been
directed to the proposed frauds. In an
address informing the people of Indiana
of the contemplated movement the Dem.
ocratic Executive Committee recommend
the exercise of care in treating with those
who r,pcse to commit fraud on the God,
given right of freemen. The Post cores
pondent further states that he has seen
the interior of the English working room,
and he considers his style of conducting
the campaign perfect-better than that of
Mr.. Morton in 1876. The correspondent
says, as the result of thorough canvass
of Indiana that he finds the Democratic
outlook better than in 1876. English is
really stronger than the party. Many
Republicans are coming to him daily.

FOUND DEAD IN LITTLE RIVER.
A Double Murder Without any Apparent
Cause.

A rumor had been afoat in this vicin.
ity in the early part Of the week to the
effect that two negroes had been found
dead in Little River, just below the Lau-
rens line, in Newberry County, but we
failed to hear any particulars concerning
the matter until we received letter by
Wednesday evenings mail, from q relia.
BILE gentleman living near the vicinity
where the said negroes were found,
from which letter we learn the following
facts.
On last Saturday evening an old black
man named Henry Grier was fishing in
Little River, just below the Newberry
line, near Floyd's bridge, when he dis
covered the dead body Of q man in the
water. He Immediately went home and
reported the fact to some of his friends,
but it being then dark they did not go
to the river until Sunday morning, when
they proceeded to hook up the body to
find out who it was, when horrible to
state, they found another body in
the same place-both the sons of the old
man who had first discovered them. MIR.
E. c. Langston, the Coroner of Newberry
County, was sent for, who summoned q
jury and held an inquest. The oldest
of the two boys (about 21) had a bullet
wound in the left breast and one in the
back. The other brother had only one
wound inflicted just under the right nip
Pile and ranging towards the heart. DR..
Patton, who made the post n,ortem exam.
ination, gave it as his opinion that either
of the wounds was necessarily fatal. In
addition to the bullet wounds the bodies
were weighed down by large rocks tied
to them.
The jury of inquest stated that both
the deceased came to their death by bul.
let wounds inflicted by parties to them
unknown. There could not be a particle
of evidence, it seems, brought up to
point to any one as the murderer there
was no evidence to show that the boys
had had a difficulty with any one, and
no one can conjecture the cause of the
tragedy. Nor can there be any politi-
cal significance attached to the unfortu-
nate affair, as both the boys are said to
have been very inoffensive, honorable
fellows. Great indignation is felt by the
people of the community where the
tragedy occurred, by both white and
black. The murdered negroes were citi-
zens of Laurens County.
It is hoped the Governor will offer
suitable reward for the apprehension of
the murderer. Such q deed is O blot
upon the civilization of any community
or section, and we regret the duty of
having to record such lawlessness; but
truth is truth, and it must be told.-

"A Saratoga dispatch to the New
York Tribune says: All Saratoga is talk
ing of an incident WHICH happened last
Friday night. Two young colored men,
one student in Howard University at
Washington, the other attending school
at Dennison University, Ohio, went
into an ice cream saloon kept by man
named Ainsworth, and called for ice
cream. A waiter pointed to an apart.
ment in the rear, and asked the men to
walk in there. They refused, and main
tanned the right to remain where they
were. The proprietor then came to them,
told them that he did not entertain col.
ored people in that room, and ordered
them out. They again refused, and the
proprietor threatened to call policeman.
They sat two or three minutes awaiting
results, when Ainsworth came back with
heavy cane in his hand, took hold Of
one of the men jerked him out of his seat,
and pushed him toward the door. The
man who was seized snatched the cane
from his assailant, and during the strug-
gle Ainsworth's eye was blackened, but
whether Intentionally or by accident is
not shown. Ainsworth says that he has
kept hotel, and knows how to do such
things, and that he has never allowed
colored people to be served in his par
lor."

FIRING THE LOYAL NORTH.

A shrewd pension agent in Washing
ton induced an ignorant wounded Con-
federate soldier in Williamsburg County,
named Robert Hanna, to file an appli'
cation for pension from the United
States Government on account of bis SER
vices in the late war. The agent Undue.
ed the poor fellow to file the application,
and then held out hope to him that he
would get the pension in order to collect
fee from him for his services in making
the application, although he knew Mr..
Hanna would never gets cent from the
Government. The Republicans now
seize upon this triaing matter to make a
great noise about the secret intention of
the South to pension its soldiers in tho
late war, and are trying to fire the loyal
North against the Democratic party on
this account. They claim that the ap-
plication of Mr.. Hauna is only prema-
ture, and that 1t represents the true IN
tention of our people. This shows how
mean and contemplate the Republi-
cans are. They do not hesitate to dis
tort and misrepresent anything that
comes from the South, and every act Of
our people-even the humblest is taken
advantage Of to keep alive the prejudice
and passions growing out of the late war.
Nothing will free US from this infamous
treatment as long as the Republican
party retains the Government. To say
that Mr.. Hanna is simple and honest
man, without any representative position,
either officially or in his private opinions,
will have no effect upon the stalwarts,
although they know it is strictly true.
It is, however, fortunate that thousands
of independent voters have sense enough
to detect these shams, and will not be
influenced by such thrilling and disrepu-
table methods in conducting the cam
paign.
