Mr. Hayes Message.

The Bloody Shirt TO be vigorously Agi-
tated Jy His Frauduiency.
WASHINGTON, November 24.-In his
forthcoming message the President will
make the reported outrages and violations
of law in the South during the late con-
gressional elections prominent topic of
comment. These violations will be con
demned as forcibly deprivng a large
number of citizens in specified localities
of rights conferred by both national and
state authority, thus preventing results
expressive of their will in the admin
stration of public affairs. Such proceed
ings will be further deprecated because
they indicate that the pacification of the
South is not yet complete, and because
they cast reproach upon and endanger
the integrity of free Institutions. The
subject will be earnestly presented to the
consideration of Congress for such action
as the circumstances demand, with a
view to preventing recurrence of such
wrongs and to secure an absolute exer.
Else OF the right of suffrage.
Owing to the decision of the United
States Supreme Court that the enforce
ment act was unconstitutional, it no
being in specific accordance with the fif
teenth constitutional amendment, ant
the failure OF the House in the Forty
third Congress to pass the Senate bill
designed to meet the judgment OF TN
tribunal, there is no law to punish
class Of cases affecting colored men whicl
the act was intended to reach. The Law
relative to the election of members Q
Congress, however, affords remedy 70
some of the reported wrongs, inficting
fine Of 500 and Imprisonment for on
year on any person found guilty {
illegally preventing or obstructing til
free exercise Of voting, and fine of So
900 and Imprisonment for not more tina
ten years on those engaged in consp.rin
for the same purpose.
