fore there was an adjournment, and
that the motion 10 adjourn was not al
his instance. Mr.. Cameron then SAID that
the motion TO adjourn was made upon his
request ut the suggestion OF Mr.. Dawes.
The Democrats seemed pleased at the furry

now THE SECTIONS BULLDOZE, INTlMIDATE,
AND DISFRANCHISE.
The charge that intimidation and di,fran-
chiSement arg practiced in the South and
not at The North has been successfully met
by the following statistics: Virginia, with
nearly twice the population of Connecticut,
has only 2,5G2 males over twenty-one voters.
while Connecticut has -, 9l6 who are not
voters. Alabama has 203, 3l5 citizens above
the age OF twenty-One and 202 900 voters,
while little Vermont has 10000 men above
the age OF twenty.One who are not allowed
to vote. Pennsylvania has 100,00 males
above twenly-0ne who are not voters, while
Mississippi has only 1000. Michigan has
40 900 who cannot vote and Florida 200.
4 like disparity exists between other north
ern and southern States, and the large num-
Der DISTINGUISHED in Massachusetts, and
Rhode Island have repeatedly been noticed
in these dispatches during the debate.
THE YORKTOWN CENTENNIAL.
Governors Longof Massachusetts, and Jar
Wis Of North Carolina write Senator John
ston that they will attend the Centennial
and both States will be fully represented by
their citizen soldiers. Similar responses are
expected from the Governors OF other

that the Yorktown Centennial will be the
biggest affair OF the kind ever witnessed in
this country.
