Heath bid the witness that the people on the cur had treated him kindly. Heath was 1 rying to find a location lor colored emigrants, and told the witness that hisobject in the tlrst place was to get to Kansas, but at Washington, Adams, the. secretary of the Immigrant Ail society, rsked him to stop at Indianapolis He had letters to Judge ai.irliuilale ami Colonel Holloway, prominent Indi-ina Republicans. One teuton for the colored people leaving North Carolins was to bttte.1 their coudll.ou; arid another reason was that their friends in Washington desired, as many of them as iiossible, to &ei out of North Carolina and Into Indiana beiore the census was taken, about Ma 1, so astodeciease the representation of JSorth Cnrodnii and increase that of Indiana. Ten thousand Intended to come. Heath supposed when he was making these statements that the witness was a Kepunlican. He said the Republicans tad proposed to pay baif tne exjenses of the trip. The w'lness could not remember the mention of any name but that of Adams. On cross-examtnatlou, by Mr. Windom, the witness stated that his county is well settled up; there is no demand lor labor there; the dissatisfaction felt on account ol the emigra Hon is not because ot the emigrant being colored, but becnese they reach ihere destitute, and have lo he supported by tlie county, and liecause they overstock the lahur market: there is an 111 leellu; anions laoorers of both political parties; it sometimes takes theshaiKJ oftiirea's; one man who hired some ot the negroes had h s barn buiuol a few days later; the math r was before the grand jury ; the wit ness preferred n that ncount not to speak of it; there were bad inen of both parties there; perhaps the Democrats had burned the barn ; coma not say whether this conduct would have the etlectof detvr ring people from hiring emigrants, and n cmise it to apear that there was no demand or lahor. He met Heath at the deiot when he came in on the train, and, representing himself as a Republican, got Into a conversation with him. He told Heath the Republicans wan ted a gois! many negroes to come to Indiana; Heath said there was no doubt I hey could get all they wanted, but It would be necessary to pay one halt their expenst s, beci use those that had horses would not leave home, and those without borss con d not afford the expense The witness goi the impression that no arlangemetus had yet been made wnereoy j their expenses were' to he paid i fault with the Moreorddr ' Heath found stem of pay in North Carolina.

Some of the negroes desired U rtturn home. Heath had handed Ihe witness three slip of paper. At Mr. Voorbees' request the witness read whiit was on the slips, as follow: "Postmaster Langsdai and Mr. Clay (colored) at Greencastle, I'utnam county, on the Ter re Haute railroad.

The di satisfaction ia llie county Is not confined to Democrats, but is felt by many Republicans, especially among the laboring c'asa. .No objection would be made to self supporting emigrants. All the Republican paper that the witness hsd read condemned Ihe committee and approved of the exodns.

RO KXOht S The Senate special committee to-day resnmed investigation of tbe causes of the colored exodus. . iiarlea II. Otuy, wbo gave his direct testimony last Monday, was tne first witness. He ws subjected to a rigorous crossexamination by Senators Windom and Illair, In the course of which he acknowledged that he had not heard any member of tho Washington Km'grant Aid society advise the divcssioo ol theexedus from Ksnsasto Indiana for political purpose, except Mendenball, and could not name any other Republicans in Washington outaldo of tbe Emigrant Aid society wbo had advised or promoted the exodus for political purposes. He also staled that he bad never heard of any colored men other than Perry. Williams, aud. Evans, who were en1 gaged In stirring np Ihe colored people to I emigrate t'rom North Carolina, and he be- ! lieved that the Baltimore and Onto Railroad company, through their agents, aie furnlshi ing money to py tbe travel- ' iDg expenses of these men, and that the company pays them a premium of f 1 per head for" each passenger ootained. He fcelieved the Intelligent people of North Carolina, black and wuiie, licmocrais and Republicans, were opposed to this exodus, and understood the entire Democratic- and colored press of North Carolina had been eteged In exploding the false statement spreaa broadcast in mat State by l'erry, Wlhiams and Evans. Notwithstanding all these agencies, eugaged in dissipating these delusions, still the ignorant colored people are yet deluded by ; them.

Rare , cases, he said, might be Instant! where i severe penalties had leen I m posed on both J while and colored culprits for letltlsrcaniea. I in his cross-examination he aumitted that there existed a belief among some blocks In Noith t arollna that penal laws were less j severe in Indiana than In North Carolina and thought tnia bad some etiect on inftni encing the emigration ot colored people to i that State. j M.
