Indiana Statistics.

The State Bureau of Statistics will to-

railroad statistics from the different Com
panies. The agricultural reports have been
received from all of the Counties excepting
Huntington, Jefferson, Whitley and Van
derburg. These four Counties are very dila-
tory in the matter. In this connection it
may be said to the credit of Indiana that it
is the only State that receives full agricul-
tural statistics until the following year. The
enterprise displayed in the matter is GER

A ColOred Y. M. Co.
The Gazette's New York special of yesterday

says:
Messrs Francis C. Lawson and Others repre-
senting all the coored Churches tl this city, hav-
ing got a charter from the late Legislature en-
powering them to enlarge the scope of the exist
ing COlored Young Mems Christian Association,
encountered opposition from an unexpected quar-.
ter. 1t feared by some of the best thinkers of
their race that the scheme might be chimerical,
and therefore, failing, become to an extent dam
aging to the reputation of the eolored men. All
apprehensions have however. been allayed, and
the enterprise, which for long time lay dormant,
is to be pressed with activity.
Mr.. Lawson, in explaining his plans, said
1.-The average young colored man has no place of
public resort in this city. He is anything but
welcome as guest in the most attractive hotels;
there are reading rooms for him; in short,
there is nothing for his evenings that is not de-
moralizing. That is why you find so many col
ored men where they are seen. We propose,
briefly, to erect large hotel of q good class in
which accommodations shall be within the means
of young men at moderate incomes, and which
shall contain the rooms of our Young Mems
Christian Association. We can make such a hotel
pay all expenses of the Christian Association,
even with a reading room lecture hall and other
attractions that desire to add to what there Is
OF our existing modest quarters.

i see in the issue Of your paper OF the
| 23rd Of June a communications, brief and 10
the point, from the Hon. c. Byrd, from
which two facts are made manifest: LIST,
that he is n candidate for F1oater, which, |
suppose, means Representative from the
counties of Amite and Lincoln; End, that
while in the Legislature from Franklin
county he did not vote for mixed schools.
The first appears afiirmatiyely and the sec
ond negatively, ard from the emphatic epi-
thets used in negativing the report that
reached him, the conclusion is drawn that
he is opposed to mixed schools. As he is
announced as a candidats Tor Representa-
tive, and if elected will ~5ec something to
do IN shaping a free~ppsE-~aheoi system
for the State, it is important for the voterto
know exactly his views on the question.
Does he mean to say that he is opposed, I'M
der any and all circumstances, to mixed
schools? II he is, we would suggest to him
to consider the expense that would attend
the support ofsuch a system. 1t would ne
c~essitate the establishment of four schools
where only two now exist---a separate one
for males and females for the whites and
the same for the colored. The present sys-
tenn works very well, and for one | protest
against any such expensive system: Be
sides, the society Of male and female IN
youth is beneficial to both, and is approved
by the most advanced educators.
