REPRESENTATIVE STEWART, Of Georgia,

States receiving an annual net income of

So 900 10 100000 par cont; 800 600 to
5000 900 per cent all over 100000 10 per
cant. Now. if the democratic majority il
the present House DO wise they will rush.
this bill through as rapidly as parliamentary
proceedings will permit. and let the respon-
sibility OF its lsfeat rest upon the million
aires who compose the republican majority
in the Senate. Bat, unfortunately for their
party, their past actions don't warrant any
such hope.

Ir Is VAIN 10 ex; ect any congressional ac-
ton upon the sutject of elections excep!
such az will tend to make life 10 the South
more dissgreeabje ttan il is at present, and
to increase the lesiing that has been ongen
derel in this -ection by negro suilrsge
against all sorts and kinds OF elections
Any relief therefore that may be afforded in
respect OF the matter referred to must come
from the States themselves, which are still
allowed to preacrjte the Qualifications of
their electors. Northern States impose
educational, property and poll tax qnalihca-
tions upon their voters, and why those Of
the South should no. resort at least to the
ormer as means by which to avert the
terrible evils CT negro supremacy
is not easy to tell. To do 80, 20
be sure, would weaken their power in
Congress and in the electoral college but
far better would it be FIR them to be de-
p;ivoyi of all such power than for their PEG
pie 20 be subjected to the untold miseries of
neero domination.

Reporting tho ELECTORAL Vote.

WASHINGTON, ID c., Dec. 7.-Senato:
She man, ir speaking to-day OF the report Of
the resuI. CT the vote for Presidential elec
tors in several States, transmitted BY the
Secretary Ct State to Tie Senate yesterday,
uuder The terms of The law of 1887, said his
objection to receiving the report was based
upon o conviction Of tie uselessness Of the
proceeding II ii was not unconstitutional
it was extra Constitutional. He said he had
opposed the bill all the way through on this
ground. II il was intended 10 be on express
sion of power by the Senate to control in
any way the tight Of State TO declare the
result of the vote 10 its jurisdiction it was
clearly unconstitutional if it were merely to
have the result published or declared it was
extra constitutional in that the same thing
was otherwise provided for. II was on this
ground he desired the report referred to The
committee on Privileges and Elections in
order that it might there be decided how to
dilpose OF the document.

FRI. EVENING, DECEMBER 7

4 coLoRED preacher in Dauvilie tells
Northern peoae that hs enjoys uninter'
rnptedly all the political rights allowed him
by the law aud that no attempt was ever
made o interfere with his political rights,
and that he has never witnessed any direct
iotimidation of negro voters. But, ne adds'
tbat which has struck him as an attempt az
intimidation was the riding of hoFsemen
through the city on the eve of an election,
which, to his mind, plainly meant :; " gu
cy!ored men must remain away from the
polls" Now, no soan living in town OF
the North could be induced TO believe that
;he riding Of neghboring farmers through
tbe streets on the eve of an election meant
That the negro voters there should stay
AWAY from the polls, nor does any reasona'
HE Southern man believe that it means any
such thing in this section and the fact that
the negro preacher referred to acknowledg-
es that his political freedom has never been
jnrerfered with aad that he has never VIII
messed any attempted interference with the
noli,ical rights of his race, shows that he l.
