ments extending the investigation TO the

eign capital and the use of liedloes Island.
New York harbor, as an immigration depot.
The amendments were concurrcd in, SO the

The senate then agreed 10 the resolution

port Of his discussion with Chandler ON the
10th of February; yeas ;6. nays "a. The
democrats voting in the affirmative were
Payne. Pugh. Cockrell and Vance.
The senate then proceeded 10 consider
the resolution declaring u competent for
the senate 10 elect q president pro tempore
who shall execute the duties thereof when
the vice president is absent.
George spoke Ht some length in opposi-
tion TO the resolution. At the conclusion of
his argument, Plumb called upon Blair TO
give the senate some indication OF the time
when he would he ready TO have a vote
taken ON his bill. There were great
and unless some agreement WIS made ON
the educational bill he would move at .
o'clock tomorrow that il be placed ON the
calendar. Finally il was arranged that
Thursday of next week al o'clock Blair
shall have the floor to speak. not exceeding
one hou, and then the bill shall be under
the minute rule. and a vote taken.
Plumb gave notice notwithstanding that
he would on Monday move to take up some
other bill the effect of which
would be TO displace the educational
bill. Plumb moved an amendment
to rule 30. SO as 10 provide that all votes
cast in executive session shall be made

resolution regarding the president pro tenn
pore was again taken up and Turpie moved
to amend II by making II read that the
president pro tenn. shall hold office during
all future absences of The vice-president
until the senate shall otherwise order.
Agreed 10 and the resolution adopted.
The educational bill was taken up, and
George addressed the senate in advocacy Of
IL. Hoar asked George whether his plan
embraced the protection and secu ity of the
rights of colored people of the south to vote
without interference, and their right 10 n
fair administration of Justice. George as
serted that there WAS nD distinction in the
administration of justice in Mississippi,
except that the black man had both in the
jury box and Oh the bench a leniency ac-
corded to him which was not accorded 10 a
white man. After quite a lengthy discus
sion on this point, the senate went into ex-
ecutive session and soon adjourned.

WHY DEMOCRATS OBJECT.
Report Of the Minority on the Dill Admit
ting Idaho TO Statehood.

ting Idaho TO Statehood.
WASHINGTON, March I2.-Representative
Mansur, on behalf of the minority of the
presenting its objections 10 the passage of
the bill for the admission of Idaho. how
pending in the house. In part the report
says; The precise point of difference be-
tween the majority and minority is this,
that the majority approve the provision
which depriyes a citizen Of the right of suf-
frHge. eisqualiiies him from holding Office
and prevents him from serving on juries
for criminal conduct imputed TO him when
he has not been convicted of such criminal
conduct; while the minority insists that no
citizen, being otherwise qualified. should be
deprived of these rights and privileges on
account of alleged crime, unless he has
been convicted of such crime by some
court of competent jurisdiction, and where
the penalty for such crime or
part thereof is such disqualification.
The minority, while reprehending
as much as any of the majority can repre-
hend. the offenses of bigamy and polygamy,
and the aiding and abetting OF such Of
fenses, most respectfully submit TO the
house that mnn who is accused Of big
amy. aiding bigamy or belonging to an as
sociation that encourages these ohenses, is
as much entitled 10 trial for that oifense as
is man who is charged with any other of
fense. We insist. therefore. that when
Idaho is admitted il shall not be with u pro-
vision in the constitution which dcprives
citizens Of the right of suffrage. of the
right to serve on iuries and 90 hold Office
because Of an alleged crime of which the
party has not been convicted.
