- W.
Congregational Proceedings.
WASHINGTON, January 20.
The Democratic Senators in caucus to
day agreed upon . substitute for Mr.. Ed
mund's resolution, declaring the Thir-
teenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth amend
ments equally valid with the other amend
ments to the Constitution. The substitute,
while recognizing the binding force OF the
amendments named, regards Mr.. Ed
mund's resolution rs proposing Legislative
action in conflict with the decisions OF the
Supreme Court, particularly in the Cruik-
shank case, holding that the Constitution
does not confer the right to vote on any
one, but simply confers the privilege OF
the freedom from any discrimination on
account Of race, color or previous condi-
ton, and that the regulation OF suffrage
belongs exclusively to the several States.
In the Senate, to-day, Mr.. Morgan sub
mitted the substitute, and 1t was laid on
the table.
The Senate Committee on Elections OK
pected to come to q final vote to-day in the
case Of nCorbin vs.. Butler. but the Demo-
cratic members purposely remained away
from the meeting, leaving the committee
without . quorum, and thus preventing
action. 1t appears to be the policy OF the
Democrats to delay action until the close
Of the session, md then by manifestin8 .
willingness to consider the case, throw the
responsibility upon the Republicans OF an
extra session.
The present outlook is not favorable for
seating Mr.. Corbin, Notwithstanding that
the Republicans have onc majority, count
ing Mr.. Conover, who now repents OF his
former vote in favor OF Mr.. Butler.
In the House. Mr.. Potter asked leave to
offer . resolution authorizing an investiga-
ton Of the cipher dispatches, and to have
it adopted under q suspension Of the rules.
Nj. Butler objected, on the ground that
he wished to debate the resolution, and it
was agreed that Mr.. Potter should report
it tomorrow after the reading Of the
journal.
A motion will probably be made for the
investigation Of the cipher dispatches, and
it is expected from Mr.. Potter.
Nj. Butler will speak on this question.
