MIR. HATEs'S MESSAGE
What he WIN Say with Respect GO the Re
ported Outrages In the south.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 24.-In his forthcoming
message the lie fncto President will make the
reported outrages and violations OF law in the
South during the late Congressional elections a
r&ominent topic of comment These violations
will be condemned as forcibly deprving large
number OF citizens. IN specified localities. OF
rights conferred by both national and State
authority. thus preventing the results eIpros-
sive oftheir will in the administration Of public
affairs. such proceedings will be further depre-
Gated because they indicate that the pacincation
OF the South Il not yet complete. and because
they cast renroach upon and endanger the in
tegrity OF free institutions. The subject will
ba earnestly presented TO the consideration Of
Congress for such action as the clrcumstanc
demand. with view OF preventing recurrence
OF such wrongs and To secure an absolute ex-
ercise Of the right OF suffrage.
Owing To the decision Of the United States
Supreme Court that the Enforcement act was
unconstitutional, II not being in specific accord
ance with ths Fifteenth Constitutional Amend
ment. and the failure of the House in the Forty
third Congress Ia pass the Senate bill designed
to meet the judgment OF that tribunal. there is
no law to punish n class Of cases affecting col
ored mon. which the net was intended 10 reach.
The law relative To the election Of members Of

THE FRUITLESS SEARCH.
Mrs. a. +. stewart Informs DR.. RyIanes that
there ore No New DeveIoPmenls.

So far as can be ascertained no new devel-
opments in the mystery surrounding the viola
tion of the Stewart tomb have come to light
within the last twenty-four hours. The answer
at all places where inquiry has been made was
the briefest negative or a shake OF the head. No
reference was made to the subject in either Of
tho services in ST. Marks Church yesterday
After the evening service. DR.. kylance was
found in the study. with several members Of
the congregation. bending oyera diagram ofthe
tomb and graveyard. and discussing how the
desecration might have been effected without
detection by the police He said that his latest
information regarding the progress of the
search was a message from Mrs. Stewart. sent
on Saturday. TO tho effect that she knew abso-
lutely nothing as To the whereabouts of the
remains.
Judge Hilton was in his homo last evening"
but was not accessible. In the Police Central
Onlco nothing new could be- learned. and little
of the remotest interest The only new phase
taken on by the search Is considerable reduc-
tion Of tho force engaged. Many detectives
have been withdrawn and many old clues
abandoned. The search is now confined to the
working of three or four clues. From all that
can be gathered from those engaged or inter-
ested in tho search the prospect is as little on
couraging ms il has been at any time since the
search was begun.
