be afforded for motion to substitute for

A FIGHT FOR WHITE RULE
JUDGE CALHOUN MAKES a BOLD
SPEECH AT JACKSON.

He Declares That the Constitutional
Convention was Assembled for the
Specific Purpose of Guarding Against
Negro supremacy-rheR Readmission
Act Restrictions Unconstitutional
JACKSON. Miss, Sept. 11.-Judgs Cali
houn, president Of the constitutional con-
vsntion, occupied the floor for nearly two
hours to-day in support of his electoral
college plank, which has been described In
these dispatches. The judge reviewed all
the franchise plans submitted TO toe con-
vention, and insisted that none but the
Campbell plan aud that which he had pre-
sented himself, but Of which he disclaimed
the paternity. would insure white control in
the state. IL was the law Of divine ordlna-
tione, he said, that the white race cannot
tolerate divided sovereignty, and any
Legislature would have the stamp OF idiooy
upon it that would assemble such body as
this, with the enormous attendants expense
with an object short of this. Let the truth
universe.
NOT AFRAID OF CONGRESS-.
The speaker did not share the appreheu-
sion of those who thought that any change
of the constitution that would have the
effect Of depriving a great number OF
negroes OF the right 10 vote would involve
the state Of Mississippi in a conflict with
congress. He thought there was no proba-
bility of such conflict, as II was generally
conceded among lawyers that the funda-
mental conditions of the act of 1890
were unconstitutional, and that
Mississippi had q right 10 impose an
Nd
tion, as other state, provided there was no
discrimination ON account of race or color.
But" he continued, 'if worst comes to
worst and we lose some OF our representa-
tion IN congress, we can stand IL COM
plaoently If allowed TO manage our local
and state affairs undisturbed."
WHAT THEY ARE THERE ron.
Even the presidency, he said. was
matter OF insiguicance compared with local
government. He did not propose to mince
matters and hide behind a subterfuge. but
II asked by anybody If it was the purpose
Of the convention TO restrict negro
suffrage he would frankly answer,
THAT is what we are here forn The
fiat bad gone forth that fraud, force and
intimidation must cease, and If the conven-
tion failed to insure that supremacy by
peaceful methods he would, In case the
negro was hereafter killed in political riots,
regard himself and every member Of the
convention as accessory to the murder.
HIS PLAN ADVOCATED.
The speaker then made an elaborate con-
stitutional argument to prove that the plan
he favored was republican la form. 1t will
be remembered that this plan divides tue
state into thirteen gerrymandered election
districts, eight of which will have white
majorlties ana that these electors shall
elect all the state and county officers, the
state Senate and legislature aloae to be
elected by the people.
Judge Morris OF Wayne, and Delegates
Gore of Webster, Coffee Of jefferson and
McGhee of Franklin also addressed the
convention. Thore is no prospect Of vote
on the suffrage question before the latter
part of next week.
