A New View of the Exodus.

One of the most prominent promoters of the colored emigration scheme recently said that homes had already been secured for 10.000 Sou hern negroes in Indiana, a large share of whom were Republican voters and that it was not improbable that by this means the State would be carried for the Republican party in the presidential contest next year. This is doubtless an over sanguine view of the situation, but it may serve as a basis for working out the problem on a wider field.—New York Sun. We have had information fromssme of the lower counties which corrobo rates the above somewhat. We ad - vise our Democratic friends to be watchful and active. The Republi cans have already begun the < ampaign in Indiana for 1880. A wealthy, active man has been already appointed chairman of the State committee, with a wide awake executive committee to second his efforts. He, like “Charlie” Foster, has a good deal of business in New York, and flits backward and forward frequently. It may be that he has a large amount of private business on hand; but then, if he has, why make him chairman of the Republican State committee. It behooves Indiana Democrats to be on the alert. As to the tide of Southern negroes coming in this direction, we believe we have enough laborers in the State to take full care of its agricultural interests perhaps already more than enough. It they are bro’t here, it is with the hope that the Stale may be secured to the Republicans next year.—lndianapolis Seutiuel.
