THE INDIANA STATE SENTINEL WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 24, 1879.
WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 24. WITH SUPPLEMENT.
- . FOR PRESIDENT, THOMAS A. HENDRICKS, ' OF IKDIASfA, : , Subject to the decision of the National Demo cratic Convention. INDUS A. FOR HENDRICKS. The Sentinel in placing the name of Thomas A. Hendricks at the head of - its columns as a candidate for president in 1880, subject to the decision of the National Democratic convention, takes no new departure "In policy;" it only emphasises the declarations made in its columns daring the recent past upon the same subject. We would not, if we could, disguise the fact that the Indiana Democracy, with scarcely a dissenting voice, prefers Mr. Hendricks as a candidate ior president oyer any other distinguished Democrat who has 'been named in connection with the high ffice. But this preference is not factional in any regard. It is not a preference based upon the supposition or the belief that Mr. Hendricks is the oniy man in the Democratic party whose capabilities qualify him for the office. It ia not a preference that warrants, prompts or indorses a factious hostility to other candidates, or that is calculated to deprive them of the respect and confidence of the party. It is a preference based upon those essential qualities of head and heart which pre-eminently distinguish Mr. Hendricks as a statesman, and which, if he were chosen chief magistrate of the country, would be exercised for the good of the whole country. It should be understood that the Sentinel, while thus giving expression to ts own preferences and what it believes to be the pronounced sentiment of the Democracy of Indiana, as well as the feeling of thousands of Democrats throughout the country, wiil continue to furnish its readers with -current items relating to the candidacy of .other distinguished Democrats, together with aach prudent reasons for their nomination asiay be urged by their friend?, and which find their way into print. Indeed, every consideration of journalistic enterpiise demands this at our hands, and to ignore such current comment would be to deprive the readers of the Sentinel of information which they have a right to expect ti find in its columns. - THE WEEKLY SENTINeL. For some time past the Weekly Sentinel has been increasing at a wonderful rate, and during the past, week bsyond all precedent. One dollar per year, and the-largest weekly paper ia the State, is the convincing argument Oar weekly now contains GO columns of reeding matter. .' According to the beat estimates that can be made by outsiders, Grant is worth about $500,000. Still he is not satisfied, and intimates that he is poor. The work of discharging white men to make room' for pauper negroes has commenced, and poor men - with, fansHte? dependent upon them for support are made to suffer that the Republican parly may gain a few votes in 1330. . The poor half clad negroes brought to Indiana from North Carolina to vote the Republican ticket are suffering from cold, hunger, nakedness and sickness. But Republican conspirators do not care for such things. They want the votes of the negroes, and these secured, consequent sufferings are not regarded. . Thb following were among the guests at the private dinner given General Grant last nigut by George W. Chlids: Hamilton Fish, idwards Pierrepont, A. E. Borie, J 1. Cameron, George B. Boutwell, George M. Robeson, John H. Morgan, George ' Augustus Bala, John Welsh, A. J. Drexei, James W. Fanl. General Phil Sheridan, Dr. Da Costa, General Sherman. OnolauaU Commercial. How is that? Only Robeson to represent the noble band of rascals? Where was BcJknap, Bibcock, Boss Shepherd, LatlDdelet Williams, Cresswell, and . the rest of the robbers who were once the favorites of Grant? Certainly the devil -hasn't got 'em all yet., -i ' ' - Some very foolish people seem to think that the governor of Maine and hi council have violated some law as a means of- revenge for Republican rascalities. Nothing is further, from the truth. The governor and his council in their action have been governed by the constitution of the Stat?, the laws of the State, the decisions of the supreme court of the ' State and by established precedents. It is following the law instead of violating the law that makes P-e-publican rascals bowl. ,- --. THB QUICK LIBEL SUIT. - - - In the matter of the Quick libel suit gainst the Sentinel, tha jury returned ft verdict in favor of plaintiff for $500. In our opinion it was a verdict not warranted by the law, the evidence or the equities of the case, acd should not have been rendered, We are not, however at all disappointed. At no time after the jury was impaneled have we expected anything better. In the usual sense of the phrase, it Is true that the jury was . composed of good citizens, but .it was not ft jury tbat ' should have sat in' judgment .upon the Sentinel. In the name of all tbat is fair and just, we submit that jury comprising 11 Republi cans of tbe strongest partisan prejudices to be found in this city, ia net one which com mon decency proclaims should have tried this case, and when there u added to this a judge of the same caste, and! so ruling as to be cons'stent only in his uniform and per. ' nstent hostile attitude against us, the ver diet ceases to be ft matter of surprise.
It may be properly said tbat the whole
business of the suit, its connections and in cidents, are characteristic of the spirit of the day and the degeneracy of the times. Forty years ago an attorney who would have attempted the formation of such a jury in a like case, or ft judge who , would have tolerated it, would have sunk into merited contempt and disgrace. Forty years ago an individual in the plaintiffs place would not have thought of the law, except to dread it. Ko attorney could have touched such a case without disgracing himself. To sum up the matter m few words, a more striking illustration of the prostitution f the law for shameful purposes has perhaps never transpired in this city. The case will go to the supreme court.
CONGRESS AND THE .CATTLE PLACUE, The subject of treating diseases of cattle Is yeaily growing in importance, and an effort will be made to have Congress take the matter in hand. In a recent address, Professor James Low, of Cornell Cniversity, remarked that "the power of enforcing our live stock sanitary laws should be exercised absolutely and instantly, when necessary, and guided by some one thoroughly versed in the diseases of animals. We have in this country live stock worth nearly $2,000,000,000. The possibilities of loss by the importation or spread of an animal plague are perfectly appalling. With 10 -000,000 head of live stock, England has lost in the last 35 years live stock valued at $500,006,000; what might not our experience be if we were to allow a general diffusion of the same diseases among our 99,000,000 head of live stock? There is no need to go to England for a terrible example of animal scourge. It is estimated Chat last year we lost not less thun $21,000,000, from one of our native animal plagues, the hog cholera. There is ft better prospect now that Congress will give some consideration to the question of bow to deal with animal epidemics. There are eight specific disease poisons that are communicable from animals to men, and no less than 21 parasites, any one of which may rise to the importance of an epizootic. There are no less than 11 contagious and 31 parasites of farm animals that are not communicable to man. These last may be classified as exotic and indigenous. Maladies that are imported and maintain their existence by a continuous reproduction of seeds or germs, and that are the true plagues, never rise spontaneously on oursoil, and may be eradicated as surely as a noxious weed. But maladies that develop spontaneously on American soil can never be permanently rooted out until we can ascertain every un-bygienic condition in the climate, locality and man agement, and obviate the conditiors on which the generation of such maladies depends. There is one exotic cattle plague now prevalent which demands more urgent means for its extirpation than all the others put together. It is the bovine lung plague (contagious pleuropneumonia), which was lmpbtt-d into Brooklyn ia 1343. The plague is gradually extending to the West and South. If it reached the unfenced cattle ranges of the West and South it would be impossible to eradicate it as herd mingling with herd would spread the infection on every fide. Whenever this disease -has been introduced Into common pastures it has maintained a permanent residence. Since cattle are shipped from TXS8 and the plains ti all parts of the Union, no State will be safe if the infection once reaches them. As the seeds of this disease remain latent in the system for from 10 days to three and one-half months, and only become manifest by their effects at the end of this time, infected cattle, may ' be carried from ocean to ocean or from the lakes to the gulf, in apparent health, and yet spread pestilence. Unless the United States Government steps In te control the means" of extirpating this disease and of protecting against hew importations, our herds : will never be treed of it" ' ; i. ' The subject, it will be readily seen, is one of vast importance add national in its character, and can not be too soon subjected to the severest sanitary restraints. Tne investigation should be committed to men in all regards qualified to master it, and the remedies wbe.0 found should be applied with suoh vigor as O arrest - the' Spread of the disease. The dangerhas been too long neg lected, and the demand now ia f jr vigorous work, ''.i'-y ' " ' ' ., GbKERAL NOTES. THk Montgomery (Ala.)

Thb Washington Post says Senator Voor heea' resolution, calling fot an Investigation of the negro exodus, will undoubtedly be adopted. Both the Senate and House Will In quire into the causes and effects of this movement. The band of the Radical politician will be shown to be the motive power. Tai Cleveland Flalndealer says more ne groes are arriving each day In Indiana. These creatures of the Republican conspirators of 18H0 are destitute upon their arrival, and are becoming a oharge upon the charitable people of the Suite. Much indignation ia manifested by the people Who are called upon to take charge of the negroes, and the importation is more likely to rebound to tbe injury than the benefit of the Republican party. Aw historical gun -is .owned by Fernando Healy, of Eehoboth. Maes. His great-grand father brought it to this country in 1680, and naed it In the French wart. His son Joseph 1 put a new stock on the piece In 1761, inserting ft small silver plate bearing the Initials 1. H l'til. Joseph's son John used It daring the revolution. It afterward came into the pos session of another son, the late Stafford Healy, of Rehoboth. father of the present owner. He used it 11 days during the war of 1813, recel v
ing therefer a pension. In 1820 he restocked the gun and pat in a new look, and at his death it came into the hands of the present owner. The barrel is original, is In good order and tbe gun is still used by members of the family as a fowling-piece. Thb smartest Newfoundland dog yet discovered lives at Haverhill, Mass. He meets the newsboy at the gate every morning and carries his master's paper into the house that is, he did so until the other. day when hi master stopped taking the paper. The next morning the dog noticed the boy passing on the other side without leaving the newspaper, went over and took the whole bundle from him and carried it into the house. A grand fancy dress ball took place lately in the Middlesex County Asylam. Six hundred of the patients took part in the ball, and many more looked on from the gallery. For the previous two months they had been preparing for tbe event, which had almost entirely filled their minds the very thing intended. The women were in particular delighted, and behaved with perfect propriety, many of them dancing beautifully. A convict in the Wisconsin State prison refused to go to his call when ordered by the warden to do so. Tbe warden held a watch in one hand and a pistol in the other, and said : "I will give you three minutes to obey, and if you don't I shall shoot you." The convict doggedly folded his arms and stood still. Minute after minute passed, the warden counting them aloud. This was in the workshop and all the prisoners were spectators of the scene. When the three minutes had expired, the warden took deliberate aim at the convict's heart, and Raid: "I'll give you two minutes more, and I swear I'll kill you then if you don't go to your cell." A deft in t curse was the oniy reply. At the end of the two extra minutes the pistol was fired, and the convict fell dead. The officer is sustained by the higher prison authorities, who say that his course was perfectly proper under the circumstances; bathe district attorney of the county will try him under an indictment for murder. The Washington Capital Kays; The importation of colored voters into Indiana from North Carolina fills the Hoosler State with alarm and disgust. The question of cheap labor is likely to override the political consideration that prompted the exodus, and the promoters stand a ohance of increasing the Democratic majority and defeating their own nicely-Iald scheme. There is no State in the Union especially a Western State that looks with favor on Africanizing its territory. The fact that hordes of helpless and ignorant negroes can thus be carted about by deslgniog men is a sharp comment on the attempts made to elevate the class into citizenship and overthrow the intelligent governing element at the South. It excites the pity of an honest heart to see these poor creatni es, so like children In heir intelligence and nature, thus abused by men who have no more sympathy with their distress than if they were so many animals. It is a straDge contradiction in human nature that the greatest bigots are unbelievers, and the hardest hearted of men these philanthropists.

Sin I have been watching the negro exo dus business with a ceaseless vigilance. At first I was slow to believe that it had a polit ical significance, but now I know that it has. . On. the day of ; General Grant's recep tion at Indianapolis I was introduced to a gentleman prominent In Indiana politics, nd ;:ident of your city who, when he learned that I was a Republican, manifested an over-anxious deire to lead me into toe light of the exodus move, and J cleaned from his conversation wna ji tne iscw tbat ft well-founded plan bad been laid, by which Indiana was to ba made doubly sure for our party in 1880. He also showed me his ngnres as to me pro emote coscoi oungiug the negroes to Indiana, and then remarked it would be tbe cheapest plan on which to conduct canvass ever introduced In the 8tate; besides, he regarded it aa reliably sure. . lie also alluded to several employers that had signified willingness to aid the exodus en the grounds tbat it would cheapen labor and result in lasting benefit to them, tie lnlorma me tnat many prospective candidates for county office were ready to lend tbeir atsistance, and were perfectini arrangements wnereoy employment could be furnished the negroes in tbeir conn. ties. I then and .there Informed him that I comld and would not tike put in such an infamous piece of scoucdrelism. I regarded it a crime against law, acd an outrage prac ticed upon the poor, ignorant colored man by a set of political fiends whose acts within to erase Ires are sufficient to damn the Re publican party. If this ia latter day Republi canism, end the grand oiarparty has so lar lost sight of r'ght and justice that its leaders are compelled to resort to such low, cirty devices as importing pauper negroes Into ft State to change ti politics, it should step down and out: and my word for it. it is tbe death blow to the Republican party in Indiana. I can never again cast my vote nor lend my aid to ft party who sacrifice prin ciple for power, and such course persist d in will drive every honest, fair minded Re publican out of the party.

Proof that the Exodus is the Result of Republican . Action ' in Indiana. Sentinel Reporter In Putnam County Interviewing Rscent Arrivals. , Laboring Men Discharged to Hake Boom fer Negroes. Republicans Declaring that Tbey Will Me Longer Hnpprt Tc.etr Parly . Secret Circular Sent to the Soa.tr.ern 'e . groes Etc, Etc., Etc The Republican leaders of Indiana have endeavored to create the impressfon at home and abroad tbat the negro exodus had its conception and birth among the negroes themselves. The Sentinel has contended that this was not true, but that the Republican leaders as a last desperate resort, resolved to colonize enough negroes into Indiana to force it iuo the Republican column in lSOU. A Sentinel representative visited Greencastle last week, for the purpose of hunting up proof of tbe Sentinel's ookI tion Here isa circular ttiat was sent South among t'ae negroes during tbe patt few months: LNPIASA. This is a rich state of fertile lands, with auuuuant iimner oi every variety. Tue climate is healthful, and ia not too cold lor me, aanougli l was raised in Ueoigia. It is Just r'ree schools are maintained from three to fix montus each year in every neighborhood. Ihe blacks are aornttted to mesa schools on the same term as tbe whites, or. aa la msiioikthe caw in cities, they have separate tschoois with good teachers. Our people already have numerouschnrches, and more are being built every year by tbe neip or onr wnite rnends, w that our church privileges are all that can be desired, la Indiana ail stand euiinJ horrina tha ! the black man being protected in hi contracts, property and person Uie same as t he white. Those of onr race who come from the Soul h and locate here have greatly Improved tbeir condition, especially tnose who have engaged in farming. TLousandH of good larm bauds art honse servants can readily find employment at remunerative wages, and when you have earned your money the aw will compel payment, should it be le used, which is not likely to be the case. Wbat we wsnt is hoaest, induHtrious men, who know bow and are willing to work on farms, and (be same class of women to do housework. Loafers are not wanted. Don't sell your horses and wagons at half price to pay your tare on railroads and steamboats, buthltch up your teams and come overland to Indiana, Hue tbe children of Israel marched out of Egypt. It will only take s short time to do so. All whoiutend coming at all should do no during the present summer and ensuing fall, so as to get located in time to make their contracts with the farmers for next year. Such contracts are beta made before Christmas. Coljred men already here will assist thote who come In obtaining work orsltuatloos. Persons who dost e further Information can obtain it by addreaalng me. Butdou't wait to write. Gather up what you baVs and come at once, so as to be sale when the fifteenth amendment li repealed for the purpoiM-of returning you to a condition of Kiavery if you are found south ot the Ouio river. John H. Clav, Pastor Bethel Chapel, M. K. Church, (jreen-c-u-tle, Ind. Show this to our people In your neighborhood, aud then keep it for future reference. - The concluding paragraph, referring to the repeal of tbe Fifteenth amendment, isa diamond in Its way, as also the hint to eet here "duriDg the present summer." Pastor Clay seemed io a hurry to have them came "the present summer." Next summer would be too late for the election of 1880. THE FIXGEB OK 4,DK BOSS OF DE EMGRASHUK." : The next jewel which fell into our repor ter's hand was another circular the matter taken from Lsogsdale's Banner of Septem ber25,put in circular form and likewise sent South among tbe negroes. It is heided: v .' tXDIASA AND THB EXODUS." We do not believe that they can do better than to come to Indiana. We need their labor on our farms and In our households, and will pay them the cash for it. There are no stores owned by the farmers here to cheat them out of their earn lugs Here tbey will have precisely the same opportunity and privilege the whites have to win lame and fortune, and they can not do better than to settle among us. ' There is scarcely alarm in Putnam county but tbat would be the better for their services in some parts of t be county this yearfieldB bave been uncultivated for the want of workmen. If the colored exodus from the South brings those to us, it will be better for all concerned. Three gentlemen living 20 miles awayrame to town Thursday after colored families to live on their farms, under tbe Impression that tbe colored people to arrive that day were to remain. When they learned that Kauea? was their destination, tbeir disappointment was very great. They each stated that they would be willing to furnish a man with a bouse to live in, a garden, a cow to milk, firewood, and pay him (15 ft month cash. Tbey further slated that the female members bf colored families could nbd Constant employment in their neighborhood at good wages. Oar reporter wss assured that thousands of these circulars were sent by Langsdale ana Clay, of Greencattle, to tbe Carolinas. Rev. John H. Clay attended a convention held in Nashville last summer, where several com mittees were appointed to circulate printed documents, etc , among the negroes, f jr the purpose of inducing them to leave their homes and go to Indiana to assist toe Radical parfy in taking Indiana from the De mocracy. Perry and Williams.' with the assistance ot one Evans, gave the circulars which we have published ft wide circulation. Rav. P. O. Williams acknowledged in the presence of our reporter and numerous other persons. after being informed ot the discovery by tbe Democrats ot these secret circulars, tnat Mr. Perry and bimself circulated tbe same, and be requested tne snerirt to grant him permis sion to use tne court room o Putnam oonoiy to bold a publio meeting for tbe purpose ot explaining tbe actions ot himself as well aa those ot ferry ana trans, aod why tne ne KToea are here. He also stated that be hsd made several trips to north Carolina in tne interest Ot mil movement; tbat HI WAS FCBKI8HEO MOSEY to defray expenses; that he requested tbe negroes to come to Indiana and informed them that they would be provided with good homes, plenty of work at tne beat of wages. and that they would be well cart d for on the wav. Tbat those with out money would be furnished railroad tickets, comfortable Quarters and plenty of provision while on their journey. He also stated tbat the reason the negroes all topped in tbls State was that tbeir wsy was only paid to Indiana and that the msjoiity had no means to go any further. -, AH OTHER XEQBO, I who arrived Thursday last. Informed oar reDorter that the all came ia Indiana cause they were requested so to do; tbat tbey were made to believe that theS'ate was in g-eat ceea oi lAOorere, more especially ano labor; that tbey could readily earn $1 60 cash every day; tnat tney were te remain in me Stale ftad- y - - - - ' " VOTE THE HEtCBLICAk TICKET ' 2 hext election.

this, tbe most miserable political scheace ever known in the history of the country. .
wur reporter . .. .... .. , t VISITED THE CHtTBCH in which majority . of the 66 immigrants who arrived last Thursday were - quartered, and they certainly were ' the most pitiful, ignorant, abject looking persona tbat he ever saw. Several were sick. One old lady, (JO years of age, was in a very precarious condition. She was obliged to lie on a bench In the cburch, on which her friends had sftread the most of their scanty bed-c!othlng. The others who were complaining of being quite ill had also the privilege of lying on the soft side of the board benches. They were, through tbe kindness of the citizens of tbe place, provided with victuals sufficient to keep body and soul together. Many who had been out in search of employment stated that situations bad been very bard to procure; that they were deceived, and if tbey had known the condition of affairs In Indiana they would never have left the Sunny Sooth. Tbey said that Indiana had been pictured out to them as a perfect Garden of Eden; that they would be the happiest and most prosperous people imaginable: tbat tbey were In very destitute circumstances, having spent the most of their money for ihe necessaries of life. We furnish our readers atop v of two let ters, which were written at the request of two o: tbe negroes who have been fortunate enough to obtain employment. The first is from Sanders Jones, who ia working for Dr. Stevenson, to his friend Gather, in Greene county, N. C: G REE2VCA9TLK, Ind., Dec. 30, 1879. Henry Gather: Dbak Sir I am here and well, and got good place, come to Washington and you will be proviuea ior, and as soon as you get to Wash ington write to me.

The party to whom Anderson refers does not desire any other laborers than thote now In bis employ, who are all white men. He would not nndtr any circumstances employ a negro. -He made the request of Anderson for the express purpose of ferreting out this deep-laid scheme, with the foregoing result. Your reporter's attention was especially called to the ACTIOS OF SIR. HEXEV HII.LIS, treasurer, who is a candidate for renomina tion. Mr. H. has bad in his employ, for upward of 10 years, Mr. Anthony Mull, Mr. James Humphrey, Mr. All Cooper and Mr. George Brown, fonr aa good white laborers as can be found. Three of these gect'emen have' families dependent npon them. Some time since Mr. H. gave them to understand that their services were not needed, but as soon as thry retired from tbeir labor six negroes, who had just arrived from North Carolina, were employed in their ttad. These four white gentlemen have had bnt little employment sinre. ; MB. ebows being istebviewep s!ated: "Mr. Hillis bad about 400 cords of wood to chop this winter. I hsd worked for him about 11 years, and it was understood that bis brick yard bands,conslsting of Anthony Mull, James Humphry. All Cooper, myself and others, would do the chopping. Hillis told Coore r he could not give him any wood to cut as he hsd refuted two of the other boys, viz.. Brown and - Mull, when in truth be had not, but merely gave this as an excuse for discharging " him. Hiiiis then employed erx or eight aegios to do the chopping. I have bad little employment since. My prospects for work are poor. I have a wife and one child; no property; km compelled to rent. I have alwajs- been a Republican, but can never vbta with' them again." MB. ALVA COOPER, being interviewed by our reporter, said: "Myself and others were in the employ of Mr. Hillis, working in a brick yard during the summer, and chopping wood, etc., during winter. I had worked for Hillis about 10 years; was discharged about the 1st of September; bave bad work only part of tbe time since. Hillis employed six or e;gbt negroes in the place of the 'boys' he turned off. My prospects for work are exceedingly slim. Iam a poor man and depend on my day's labor for my livirg. I have always supported the Republican party, but- will never do so again." ... We think comment on tbe above letters and circular wholly unnecessary, aa' they speak .volumes themselves. ''-!' A Wonderful Record. Myriads of so called "specifies" and cures" for rheumatitm have already been brought before the public, and many of them bave even been indoreed by the cer tificates of respectable and prominent citi zens, who have derived benefit from such orenarations. There is no donbt that s great many of these "liniments," "oils," etc. so .widely advertised and freely re com mended for rheumatism and painful com plaints of similar nature, have genuine merit, and will relieve certain types of Ihe comnlairita named: but when rheumatism. neurangia anu iiuareu uiseun uvv ucwuia chronic and threaten serious results, yon rosy rest rssured tbat they will help bnt very little. Although not recommended as "infallible." the peculiar qualitus ol bt.

After vainly using a'l tha best recommended remedies, and ex baus'iogthea ill of the most experienced nhvalolana without even temporary relief. it reautred oniy two bottles of St Jecjbs Oil to effect ft permanent cure.

SENATOR TOOEHEES.
lit Viewa on .the Hegro Exodus The Whole Begro Population of forth Carolim Would Hot Change the Politics of the Etate. The Appointment of the United States Cen sus-Takers to be Divided Betweenthe two Fatties. A Sentinel representative, on his repor- ' torial rounds Monday, ran across Hon. Daniel ."W. Voorhees at the attorney general's office, in consultation with General Mac son and Attorney Woollen. The subject under discussion was the taking of tbe next United States census, and during the converts! ion, the reporter interposed tbe following queetions: Rsporter You were speaking to Mr. ' Woollen in regard to the census. Will the appointments be divided between Democrats end Republicans? Mr. Voorhees I am informed bv President Hsyes, or rather General Walker, of the census bureau, that he will not make ft partisan census, and that the woik will be divided equally between the two parties. The Indiana delegation in Washington had a conference on the subject recently. You are aware tbat we have six districts, and if equally divided we wiil get three of them. We concluded to select good m n to take the censti - Rep. Wbat districts would vou select were you given tbe choice? Mr. V. In my opinion we fbould select one on the Ohio river and one in the middle say tbe Lafajette and Terre lUale district. It is a matter of f-xtreme importance to both parties tbat a correct census be taken. RP- I understand that another installment of negroes arrived in the ciivte-dsy. Mr. V. Is tbat fact? I should think this immigration business ought - to be bitterly opposed by the Dnnocata for this reason : laying the political bearing on the subject aside we bave enough poor white people to feed here. The ides of inspiring the emigration of pauper negroes to this State in the middle of the winter, who have no assimilation to the climate, seems to me a great d If grace to ujb iiuu)riHini oi ue scoeme. Rep Have you any idea how many they will send bere? Mr. V. I do not know anrlhin? abonr. tbeir distribution, except what I have seen in the papers, -I did cot think it was a serious matter until within the past few weeks, but I am now assured that tht-y (the Republican conspirator mtan business. I bnve investigated and find tnis to be the case. If it i true that-ibey intend to chip them hers like a stampede of cattle, the matter assumes vatt proportions. If thev are fed by public and private charities and railroads are subsidized to carry them about, we are on - tbe threshold of a question that will eventually give us a great deal of trouble in this Stftie. Rep. Do you think this piaa to Hood the State with negroes was concocted in Washington? - Mr. V. I tell yen how it is. exactly itat first there was a movement among the negroes themselves in North Carolina to emigrate to Kansas. There was no politics in this, but it gave the idea to politicians that the thing could be done in piber .States; that tbey could ship - negroes enough to doubtful States to change their political -omplexion. ' Rep. Da you think thev can hm enough negroes to Iudinua to carry toe State? Mr. V. I think not: for the mora thev send bere the';iarger the Democratic majoiity will become, as tbe laboring clssses are naturally hostile to such a . movement. If they abould send all the negroes in North - Carolina to this State it would increase the Democratic msiority in such proportion. Rep. Have you consulted the North Car olina delegation on the sub'ect? If so. wbat'do they say? Mr. V. I bave. They say tbe negroes are as well treated at home as toe whites. Yon are about a good deal; wbat do the resident negroes think of the exodus? Rep. I believe as far as I hive made inquines,aTuo3g prominent representatives of the race, they are very generally opposed to it. At Ibis point the city editor of the Jour nal entered and the interview rnded.. And I pray dat de Lord take me. till I tried "Sellers' Cough 8yrup," an' l's nebber coughed since.
