memorial was offered to the Congress Of the
United States praying that the present Rec0nstruc
ton law be so altered amended, to require
only a majority of voters voting on the question,
to determine for against the adoption OF the
new constitution. Several members stated that
they desired the law amended, so that the CppOsi-
ton coald not defeat the constitution by staying
away from the polls. The memorial was debated

adoption of the amendment requiring common
carriers to make distinction account of color

fused to bring up the question this morning; this
