One of the most intelligent of tho North Carolina negroes is reported as saying: “I was induced to leave North Carolina by representations made by Bain Perry and Peter Williams, both lie publicans. These men said there was plenty of work in Indiana; that men would be t'eady to hire the immigrants as soon as they arrived, right from the train, and pay them from $2 to $3 per day for farming and lor such other work as the men could do; that there was at least §OO houses waiting for all furnished and ready to receive them, and that provisions wt M be furnished fpr six or seven months, gratuitously; that land would be furnished in such tracts as the imuiigrtints might want; that from six to seven years to pay for it in would be giver ; that these lands could be had at from $1 to $1 50 per acre, arid that women i£J3 cooks, chambermaids and house

servants could get frpm S2O to $25 per month—all these representations I j have found to be uutrue. There is i o demand for labor, no land for sale at j tt.o prices Darned, and no such wages as I was promised are paid. In four weeks-I have received only.sß. * * * The immigrants were told that they must vote the Republican ticket when they arrived in Indiana because j ihe Democrats had used the office •_ for frail I and corruption. We were told by Perry and Williams that we must all lie Republicans, ‘We want no Dehmcrat niggers in the party, and we want all the niggers to be valiant hearted Republicans.’ My observation leads me to believe that the colored people who have come from North Carolina to Indiana, are far worse off than they were in North Carolina. Since I have been in Indiana I have met a good many Repub Means, white and colored, and have been uniformily told that the State of Indiana is Democratic, and that the colored immigrants would be expect ed to vote the Republican ticket. ' * * * While in Washington I was led to believe, from conversations with white and colored people that the money raised to forward the destitute negroes to Indiana, wus furnished enriiely by Republicans, and I know positively that in North Carolina do Democrat in any way helped to entice us from our homes, but advised us to stay, for they were certain we saould be deceived.” Comment is unnecessary.

MAINE.

The Republican conspirators of Maine, having had a dictator to stand by their proceedings with the military resources of the State, who, guilty of usurpation, wielded his power in the interest of those who violated the constitution and the laws, have managed to obtain an opinion,.or a series of opinions of the supreme court of the State, which being intensely partisan, violates every principle of law, and, in so far as its yoice can have any effect, places the government of Maine iu the hands of men who have no legal right to administer it It is possible that the Democrats and Nationals will quietly surrender their rights, stand aside and permit a gang of traitors, who ought to be tried and shot, to perpetrate as great an outrage in Maine, as Republican knaves, rorgerers acd perjurers per petiated in Louisiana ih the interest of Hayes. We prefer to believe that the Fusionists of Maine will continue to stand by the constitution and the law. They are in the majority. They have at all times and under all cir cumstances been governed by the constitution and the law, while the Republican conspirators, aided by Chamberlain, the dictator, and a debauched supreme court have sought to overthrow all law, that those who have beeD guilty of frauds may es cape punishment. The Boston Globe, which is thoroughly posted upon all the questions at issue in Maine, says: “It is not so much the governor and Legislature that the Republicans disire iu Maine as a certain something else. And that something is imrnu

nity from investigation for bribery of voters in the late elections in that jbtate. They know well enough that if au investigating committee once gets started on their doings the result will be that more than on© half of those Republican members of the Legislature to whom certificates of election have been given will be found unworthy, because money was paid to their eloctors in some instances $75 a fhead —for votes. This is a notorious fact, susceptible of proof so soon as the opportunity is given before the legislative com mittee. This same opportunity is the thing so much dreaded by the Republican bribers, and, could they do it, they would gladly surrender all other matters, such as the State offices, a legislative majority, etc., in return for control of the investigating committees. This bribe-giving and taking has been going oa for years in Maine under the Republican leaders’ manipu lation of their national committee’s nuances. At first due caution was observed, owing to public sentiment and the severity of the laws. But ol 1 tte the scoundrelly work has been carried on most openly and recklessly. The utmost recklessness was obseived in their conduct of the last campaign in relation to the buying of votes for members of the Legislature. This was patent to thousands of people who were approached and insulted by Mr. Blaine’s fuglemen. Those men, and they are men of character whose testimony will be believed, are now ready to go before the investigating committee of the Legislature and tell what they saw done in their districts, and how certain Eepublioan candidates obtained their majorities ou other and technical grounds. All this is fully appreciated by Messrs. Blaine, Hamlin, Hale, Frye, Reed and others. Hence these tears, oaths, struggles, denunciations—in short, sheer desperation. They know too well what a spectacle for men and gods would be given, and what re proach and hissing would come upon their morality party if these things should at last be shown.” There is no possible way to get at these Republican rascals except by legislative process, and against such a possibility the Maine Republican knaves are fighting with thedespera tion of cornered burglars.—lndianapolis Sentinel.

Beavor Lake Lands.

The State of Indiana, it seems, is ih' owner, by grant from the United rates, of about 9.000 acres of land in the bed of Beaver lake, in Newton county. A large number of persons have squatted on the land and have been using the ground for a number of years pas s , and the State, through Attorney general Woolen and Attorneys Julian & Julian, have instituted fait in tho Newton circuit court against such persons, claiming to be owners thereof, for possession aDd damages. The lands are valuable rich soil, and worth at least SIOO,OOO. Indianapolis Sentinel. Odd, isn’t it. that the iron and copper mines of Lake Superior have each turned out more sol d gold and silver during the year 1879 than the celebrated Leadville district? Such is the fact., however, though we haven't made a h indredth partus much noise übontiv—The Mining Journal.

GREENBACK MEETING.

Since the late elections the old hard money parties are ringing it all over the land that “the Greenback party is dead.” To test this statement we call upon all independent persons, without regard to former political associations, whs hold to the principles of the Greenback Labor party, and I expect to support candidates fully ' identified with these principles in all elections, County, State and Nations], to meet at the Court House, in Rens selaer, on Saturday, January 24, at 10 o’clock a. m., to organize, or rather re organize, the party in Jasper county, in preparation for the great coming conflict; and failing then, continue the contest till they accomplish their object—an entire change in the whole financial policy of this great country and witness the downfall of the hearties? ap.l ruinous inflation and contraction managers now in power.

Gen. A, D. Streight employed a negro family or two on his farm near Goodland recently. The Herald went off half cocked and Yazoo-like, made it a dozen or more. When its attention was called to the falsity of its statement, it promised to m ke a correction, but the correction was little better than the original false statement.—Kentland Gazette. The Herald made no false statements in regard to the negro immigration to this place. Twenty-two colored North Carolinians arrived here at the time we stated, and were at once forwarded to Col. Straight’s farm northwest of town. If these 22 healthy darkies were the remnants of only a “family or two,” then all we have to say is that North Carolina offers extra inducements in the way of propagation. The Gazette's assertion that our attention was called to the “falsity of the statement,” and we “promised to make a correction,” is an unqualified lie. No one but a fool would presume to question an evident fact. - Good land Herald.

Several postmaste-s have recently been seriously injured while trying to" stand on their heads to cancel stamps placed in this manner. This being leap year, a Main street young lady thought she would make a proposal, and she did. She proposed to the young man who had been keeping he up nights that he clear out and give some oue else a cnance, aud he took the hint and cleared. An Irishman was accused of stealing a handkerchief of a fellow traveler, but but the owner, on finding it, apologized to Pat, and said that it was a mistake’ “Arrah, my jewel,” retorted Pat. “it was a two-sided mistak<—you took me for athaif, and I took you for a g. ntlemau.” A young lady who had been married a little over a year, wrote to her matter-ot-fact old father, saying, “Wg have the dearest iittle cottage in the world, ornarueuted wnk the most charming iittle creepers you ever saw.” The old man read the letter aud exclaimed, “Twins by thunder!” . ’ Artemus Word once said, softly aud sadly to Mark Twain: “Clemens I have done too much fooling, too much trifling; I am going to write soraething that will live.” Said Twain: Well. what, for instance?” Ward sadly replied, “A iie.”

The eldest son of W. A. Harrington was examining a revolver the other evening, when the weapon was accidentally discharged, sending a bullet through the boy’s hand. No bones were injured, the bail only making a severe flesh wound which is rapidly healing, but Floyd is probably satisfied with his knowledge of loaded revolvers.—Goodland Herald. The Philadelphia Record says: Get - eral McClellan strides the key note of the policy which should direct the administration of our two-fold governmental system when he says in his recent message to the New Jersey Legislature that no concessions sho’d be made which would t -nd to impair the present absolute control of the State authorities over the National guard and militia in time of peace, or which would give the general Government the slightest supervision over any part of it, except under the cir<cumstances provided in the Federal constitution.

It is not always a safe matter to hazard remarks upon the personal appearance of those with whom we are brought in c >n tact. A story is told of a specimen of the traveling Englishman wiio was regularly sat upon tor venturing upon an impertinence ot this kind. It was at ati ble d’hote at Bologne The Englishman In question, a very b imptious individual was accompanied by a lady, and sitting opposite to them was a young German, ou whose fingers were a number of massive rings. After gazing in a most per sistent manner at hitn, the Englishman, adaressing his companion in a loud tone, said: ‘T hate to see a man with rings on his fingers!” The German replied to to this with a supercillious sort of sneer, so the Englishman ‘‘went for” him again and said, in a still louder tone. ‘‘Do you know what I would do with a ring if I had one?” Before the lady could reply, and to the great amusement of all who heard it, the German broke in, *‘Vare it in your nose!” A writer in a Western paper tells how he was blasting with gunpowder Rome large and tough logs. From one of the logs thus split open crawled an enormous serpent, which was easily killed. 'The man who tells the story continues from this point as follows: “On stretching it out I found it to be SlJ'eet two inches in length, and the thickest part of its bo>iy measured 29 inches in circumference, ft was a different speeies of serpent from any I had ever seen be ore. lis tail was armed with a sharp-pointed and curved horn; its body was variegated with alter nate brown and dirty yellow stripes, and on close examination I discovered that it had been totally blind, its eyes seeming to'have turned into a refleetionless. hard, hone-!ikcsubstance. This explained Its undecided, hesitating movements when it first came from the log. A strange crease appeared about the neck; just back of the head, which I found to be caused by a stout thong of leather, about which tire flesh of the serpent had grown until it was sunk almost out of view. Cutting this thong ana removing it, I found attached to its under side a copper plate which had been heretoforo hidden by the body of the snake, and on one side ot which was scratched, ‘D. Boone. April 15, 1779.’ I split the log in two, and near the lower end of the hollow I found where there had once been an opening, but long j ears ago it had been closed up with a plug made of oak wood, about and over which the maple had grown until it was almost concealed, the' dead appearance of the. small portion visible of the oak plug was all that called my attention to its existence. My theory of the matter is this: Daniel Boone,‘“many years ago, on the date recorded upon the piece of copper plate about his neck, and imprisoned it wiihin the hollow of the tree by means of the oak plug, where his snakeship had remained until the day I delivered him to the free air and sunlight again.”

A WINTER TOUR.

Embracing’a Trip to St. Louis, thro’ the Sunny South, a Gulf Rida, and Home via Texas, Arkansas, or In dian Territory. The Winter is the season during which business men, and especially farmers, can best afford to leave the wareroom or the farm tor a journey in search of recreation and pleasure, the chief drawback being the inauspicious condition ot the weather for such a trip north ot Mason and Dixon’s line between the months of October and May. This objection is overcome in the following tour arranged for the benefit of health and pleasure-seekers, via PanHandle Route and connections, through Mississippi and Louisiana to New Oreaus; by Gulf steamer to Galvesion, Texas, returning to St. Louis and home via Pan Handle Route and connections.

The Constitutional Amendments.

Seven important amendments to the Constitution of Indiana have been agreed to by * majority of the mem bers elected to each of the two Houses of the General Assemblies of 1877 and 1879, and by an act of the last General Assembly, approved March 10,1877, these said amendments are to bo submitted to the electors of the State of Indiana for ratification or rejection, at an e ! ection to be held on the first Monday in April, 1880. The law providing for the submission of these amendments to the electors of the State enacts that “the secretary of State shall procure ballots of blue paper, on each of which shall be printed the proposed amendments, and below each amendment shall be printed the word ‘Yes’ in one line, and in an other line the word ‘No;’ that any qualified elector may vote for or against any amendment by depositing one of said ballots in the ballot box. If he intends to vote for any amendment he shall leave thereunder the word ‘Yes,’ and erase the word ‘No’ by drawing a line across it, or otherwise. If he intends to vote against acy amendment, the word ‘Yes’ shall in like manner be stricken out and the word ‘No’left; and if both words are allowed to remain without either of them being so erased, the vote shall not be counted either way.

1880 TIIHI 1880 Indiana Weekly STATE SEffIEL. Enlarged, Improved. SI. OO Per Annum THE PAPEK FOR THE PEOPLE PROSPECTUS FOR 1880. The coming presidential year promises to be the most eventful and thrilling in a political sense that we have ever witnessed, and s wili determine questions of the most vitai 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 preseut system of free government. These questions will be thoroughly diseusseu during the present session of Congress. The Sentinel has arranged for a lirsi cla-s, i xperienced, special correspondent at Washington, j and in addition to giving a true account oj ufi the general proceedings in that body, will give the I leading speeches of our m> st prominent states I men, and without depriving our patronsol' tne ! usual amount of reading matter. Tlia Sentinel will hereafter contain supplement,imakiue in ali Sixxt Columns of composition. In a word, it is the purpose of The Sentinel, as a steadfast watchman of public iutelli ence, to do its whole duty in affording information to iiseni, scribers upon all these topics of sucti vast mom- n As in 76 so in’Bo Indiana will he called upon ~ take a first position in the front of the great e test, and upon the success or failure ol the and gallant Democracy o! our State will depend I the fate of issues the most portentous ever sub milled to the arbitrament ol a tree people. We shall also specially call attention, from day to day, as occasiou may require, to uu entirely New Phase in the politics of our State—we mean the forced emigration for temporary partizqn purposes of pauper negroes from the South into Indiana. The 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 foiled, 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 of public:and private moneys have proved wholly futile. They propose uow by an African invasion oi worse than a vandal horde of beggars and mendicants 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 -tb Hunters, Harrisons. Heilmans, or Shacklefords of the suite-, : not from the intelligence or ability Of that party, but. is composed of a motley, parti eoloreefgang wretched field negroes from the South. The froth and scum of this worthless importation are made use of to destroy the free franchise of resident citizens, and to tax our means of home labor and domestic subsistence lor the support of the political tenets of a defeated taction. The sleepless Sentinel, upon the heights of popular rights and popular liberty, predicts that this movement wili also be a faifnre. With respect to this before unheard of method of mannfacturiugparty majorities in a State, we shall at all times ive the latest and most reliable intelligence. The American Democracy, the Federal Union, the rights of a tcPeople and the States, one and inseparable—now and forever. The merits of The Sentinel as a geuelal newspaper are so well known among the farmers of this State, especially those of the Democratic persuasion, tha f commendation of it is considered superfluous Wo will add, however, that the man agemeut has arranged and fully determined that no paper shall f urnish so great practical value to its patrons for the money'. In its news, its editorial, its literary and miscellany—in a word, in its general reading it shall not he surpassed by auv papercirculated in the State. it will be particularly adapted to the family circle. We do not believe that any reading, thinking man in the Stato can afford to do without the Weekly Sentinel at the small cost at which it is furnished.
