The Radical State Conventiou has been postponed to some time next summer. We have zhe best reasons for believiag that the negro exodus is the result of u Democratic scheme,” etc. —Rensselaer Republican. . Yi jy well, then, let your readers also have those best reasons. Read the article on “Centralization” contained in our supplement to-day. Read it calmly and considerately and let reason and judgment usurp tlieplace so long occupied by passion and prejudice. . On the first page of our paper today will be found a statement by Gov. Garcclon, of Maine, in reference to what who done in the recent canvass of the votes of that btate. It is plain, honest, straighiforward expression Of facts, and will commend itself to every unprejudiced reader. The radical importations Into this State say they were induced to leave their old homes by the big promises made by leaders of the radical party. On account of discovery and expos ure of the scheme the radical Moseses are leaving their promises, to a gaeat extent, unfulfilled, aud the ne groes are very destitute.

The exodus negroes admit and declare that one of the terms of agreement for their importation into this Stale is that they will vote the Re publican ticket, and yet radical editors tell their readers that if “is a positive lie” to assert that polities has anything to do with it, or that the radical leaders are the authors ol the scheme. One of the imlueementsheld out to the negzo emigrationists by radical emissaries Was that there would be no distinction made on account of race or color; and to give it moniuvit ing force the radical State organ, the Indianapolis Journal added: ‘ Nobodys daughters except those of Democrats, demand white husbands or none!” *— P the Republican leaders wished to import voters they could get hundreds of young men from Kentucky,” etc. Rensselaer Republican. The idea that hundreds of young men in Kentucky could be hoodwink ed by su<di promises as were made to the wretched Carolina negroes is simply absurd. Your readers would much prefer to have “the best reasons” in your possession, A paper printed in Osceola, Nebraska, contains the following well merited notice of a Rensselaer boy: —Prof J. L. Makeover, of Rensselaer, Inc., ha - accepted the professor ship c» the ComutMvial Department to be founded in connection with out Cuiveraity. He L. expected here to commer.:-!' duties the first of the new year. The trustees of the institution mean business. We trust their efforts will be appreciated and in behalf of our citizens extend a cordial welcome to Pi of. Makeover.

The L''transport Chronicle says:— • 'There is no utc further disguising the fact that the Repuhlicrn leaders t.ave pu! thetr heads together and have laid their plans fo r the flooding of Indiana with poor negroes from the 8 >uth. A portion of the advance guaid passed ihtough L«gausport last Wednesday on their wav to the farm of Col. Stieight near Goochland. This is a suicidal inoye on the part of the Republican leud-rs. For ev cry negro tniported the Republican party will lose two white votes There are hundreds of white working men in Jiidi aua to day who would be glad to accept the places offered these negroes, and at the same wages, too.” In n free Republic the will of the people is the source of power, but if their will is substituted by fra id then our Republican form of goveument becomes a fraud. - Rensselaer Republican. Just our idea precisely, neighbor. We thought it at the time the radical thieves, carpet baggers, Agues Jenks, Lize Pinksto-n and the Louisiana liars “substituted by fraud the will of the people” of Louisiana, South Carolina and Florida, and we’ve thought so from that day to this. Rut, in the recent action of the Jackson-hearted Governor of Maine in thwarting rhe efforts of Blaine et al to introduce it in that State, leads us to hope that our Republican foim of government is not destined to become a farce 1

The Ltiwrenceburg Rev ister conta’ns an interesting interview between Hon. C R. Faulkner, a member ot the Indiana State Legislature and a North Carolina exodus negro. The Register says: Hon. C. R. Faulkner, reluming from Washington a few days since on a train on which there was a car load of North Carolina negroes, goi into the following conversation with one ui them, and the inteiview resulted about as toilows, which is furnished the Register for publicatioa;. ‘Where aie you hound tor?” “Going to Indiana.” “What is your name?” “Solomou Hooten, ot Monree oountv, Norm Carolina.” “How does it come that you are all leaving your homes at this time of the year?” “ Well, sir, we were promised good times out iu Indiana, Messrs. Perry ami Williams have agitated the matter f i some lime past. Secret meetings weir held, at which each negro signed a writ, ten bgreemeut, and Williams, and Perry are paid one dollar by each negro to lead them out ol bondage, as it were. We are delivered over to A. P, Walls, at Washington, D. C., and he has to furnish ua transportation to Indianapolis, where we are turned over to Mr. Hinton (State canal commissioner;, a colored gentleman. We were promised belore leaving our homes that wou'd be given work at ib cents per day until spring, when we were to be furnished farms, with a horse and cow free, and all the necessary fanning utensils, for half the crops raised. — We were also further promised dial there should be no distinction on account of color whatever, all were to be on equal footiug, regardless of iace or color. Ad were sworn uDon their oaths to vote the Republican ticketgundi r ad eircum tances, Up n these promises Mre induced to.leave North Carolina, and not as has

been charged on account of being disfrwnchised or intimidated. Frequently die lower class of negroes are persuaded to vote differently front what they may have made up their minds to vote; but ( this is done equally as much by one party as the other-

The regular monthly meeting of the Jasper County Temperance Union will be held in the M. E. Church, Monday evening January A good programme is prepared, and we hope to have a good meeting. E. H.

The Teacher’s Association.

Owing to the inclemency of the weather and the icy condition of the roads, but few teachers were present at the association Saturday. Some work, however, was accomplished on the regular programme and the Association was reorganized for the coming year. Officers elected wore as follows. President, W. G. Allen; Vice President, first district, Lewis Alter; second district, Charles W. Coen; third district, J.C.Dunn;RecordiugSecretary,Miss Atuanda Osborne; Corresponding Secretary, E. R. Pierce; Treasurer, Ida Nowels; Executive Committee, G. W. Allen, E. R. Pierce, Lewis Alter, D. M. Nelson, and Miss M. P. Bowles-.

The uext meeting of the Association will be the last of March or the first ot April, the exact date to be fixed by the Executive Committee at the meeting about February Ist, at which time also a programme of exercises will be adopted and published by the committee. The old constitution of the Association was adopted- Under this constitution, any teacher of Jasper county may become a member of the Association by paying ten cents and signing the constitution. Teachers at a distance, by sending their names and fees to the Recording Secretary, may thus become members of the Association, and will be subject to selection for duty at the next meeting. Every public spirited and wideawake teacher should be a member of this body. Its object is to elevate and ennoble the profession, it starts out in Its career with every assurance of abundant success in its object. No teacher who prides himself on the earnestness in school work will be .left out of this association, for we feel assured that every such teacher will be a member and will work to support us. Teachers, let us hear from you.

G. W. ALLEN,

E. R. Pierce, Corr. Sec’y.

Higher Education.

In a remark made by a teacher in the Association the subject of broader and higher education was touched upon. The speaker regarded this as one of the legitimate results of the Association. Hundreds of teachers are going from our ranks because they cannot keep up with the times, as they term it. They do not try to keep up. All that is required is a proper spirit of investigation, a taste for reading, either natural or acquired. Teachers, when you come to the Association in the spring, tell jhe assembly what you have read this winter. I speak without advice from the executive committee, but will guarantee you will be gladly heard. The teacher who reads earnestly during his spare time, wasting no golden moments, will never be compelled to “step down and out.” He will be an ornament to the profession and a valuable citizen.

1080 1880 Indiana Weekly STATE SENTINEL. Enlarged, Improved. 81.00 Per Annum THE PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE. PROSPECTUS FOR 1880. The coming presidential year promises to be the most eventful aud thrilling in a political sense that we have ever witnessed, and|will determine questions of the most vital importance to every citizen of the State and nation. It is not improbable—indeed it is almost certain that, upon the determination of these questions, will depend the perpetuity of our present system of free government. These questions will be thoroughly discussed during the present session of Congress. The Sentinel has arranged for a tirst class, experienced, special correspondent at Washington, and iu addition to giving a true account of all the general proceedings iu that body, will give the leading speeches of our most prominent states men, and without depriving our patrons of the usual amount of reading matter. Tho Sentinel will hereafter contain supplement, (making in all Sixty Columns of composition. In a word, it is the purpose of The Sentiuel, as a steadfast watchmau of public intelligence, to do its whole duty iu affording information to its subscribers upon all these topics of such vast moment. As in ’7O so iu ’BO Indiana will be called upbu to take a first positiou iu the front of the great contest, and upon the success or failure of the groat aud gallant Democracy of our State will depend the fate of issues the most porteutous ever submitted to the arbitrament ol a lree people. We shall also specially call attention, from day to day, as occasion may require, to an entirely New Phase iu the politics of our State—werneun the forced emigration for temporary partizan purposes of pauper negroes from the South into Indiana. Thu.managers and leaders of the Republican party, in our State and at Washington, are now engaged in this nefarious work, and are attempting by every means in their power, to promote its advancement. They have failed, utterly failed to convince our people of the correctness of their political principles, by reason or argument; their appeals to hatred and prejudice have fallen harmless: their lavish and corrupt expenditures ol public aud private moueys have proved wholly futile. They propose now by an African invasion of worse than a vandal horde of beggars and men dicauts to override the voice of the people of the State, and to drown the Democratic majority. The last resort, the forlorn hope, the assaulting party, the picket assaulting corps of Republicanism in Indiana is thus made up—not from the Hunters, Harrisons, Heilmans, or Shacklefordsof the State; not from the intelligence or ability of that party, but is composed of a motley, parti colored gang wretched field negroes from the South. The Froth aud scum of this worthless importation are made use of to destroy the free franchise of resident citizens, aud to tax our means of home labor and domestic subsistence for the support of the political tenets of a defeated taction. The sleepless Sentinel, upon the heights of popular rights aud popular liberty, predicts that this movement will also be a failure. With respect to this before unheard of method of manufacturingparty majorities in a State, we shall at ali times ive the latest and most reliable intelligence. The Aineric nDemocracy, the Federal Union, the rights of a tePeople and the States, one and inseparable—now and forever. The merits of The Sentinel as a general newspaper are so well known among the farmers of this State, especially those of the Democratic persuasion, that commendat ion of it ie considered superfluous We will add, however, that the man agement has arranged and fully determined that no paper shall furnish so great practical value to its patrons for the mon; y. In its news, its editorial, its literary and miscellany—in a word, in its general reading it shall not be surpassed by anv papercirculated in the State. it will be particularly adapted to the family circle. We do not believe that any reading, thinking man iu the Stato can afford to do without the Weekly Sentinel at the small cost at which it is furnished. UffiMUW Every subscriber to the Weekly State Sentinel, a t $1 29 per year, wiil receive a copy of The Sentinel s very able iaw treatise, by James B. McCrellis, Esq., entitled THE LAW OF THE FARM. The information contained in this little work is invaluable to every farmer, while any business man can consult it with profit. Rose Darner and Name Writeri a valuable device that retails for SI.OO, for attaching to machines, by which you can readily write your nag e or monogram on anv woolen, silk or cotton article, or you can darn a’hole in table or bed linens, underclothing, handkerchiefs, etc neatly aud expeditiously. ’’ We also offer “ROPP’S EASY CALCULATOR,” in connection with the Weekly Seutinel. It embodies a new system of calculation, by which a vast amount of figures and mental labor required by the ordinary methods, and fractions with their compleqities, are absolutely avoided in practical calculations.
