"IRIDESCENT" INGALLS,,
He Again Cavils at the Alleged
Suppressed Southern Vote

He Again Cavils at the Alleged
Suppressed Southern Vote. j
WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.-Foilowing
Mr.. Sp0oner'S speech on the election
bill MI. ingalls, affirmed it as his under
standing and belief, and as of the con-
vlctlon of the great mass of the people
of the North that the constitutional con-
veEtion of Mississippi had been as
sembled for the ayowed purpose OF
disfrancnising majority of its citizens
who were also citizens of the United
States. 1t had been assembled for the
express purpose of nullifying and de-
feating and overthrowing the amend
ments to the constitution of the United
States, by agreeing to which the state
OF Mississippi had secured its readmis-
sion into the Union. Addressing his re-
marks to Southern senators, Mr.. In
gals said that their people had re-
tanned representation in the house
of representatives and in the cleo
toral college, while they had
suppressed the colored vote. They
had violated the contract. They had re-
tanned the representation which had
given them, for fourteen years. suprem-
acy in the house of representatives and
had on two occasions thwarted the will
of the people by placing, on one of those
occasions, III the presidential chair, a
man who had never been elected to that
Office. in any fair or just sense, any
more than the khan of Tartary or the
cZar of Russia. :
NJ. Edmunds asked Mr.. ingalls,
whether the Mississippi convention had
been called in accordance with the con-
stitution of the state of Mississippi. and
whether the results of its deliberations
had been submitted to the people.
Mr.. ingalls, replied that he knew
nothing about the way of its being
called; but he was advised, and he be-
Heved, that contrary to the usual course
pursued in such cases. in free COM
,mu.itieS, its results were not submitted
to the people to be voted upon. 1t had
been arranged in some way to have it
declared the organic law of the state
without any action on the part of the
voters. In no other way could the
adoption of such a monstrous, tyran-
nical and despotic device ever have
been imposed upon people claiming
to be free.
Mr.. Edmunds added that the conven-
tion came into existence by methods en-
tirely out side of the constitution of the
state which provided a particular way
for its own amendment.

white or black who could not read that
instrument, nobody would complain of
1t; but now the ignorant white voter
might have the simplest clause read to
him ana asked if he understood it, and
answering YES" would be permitted I'd
vote: while an abstruse clause (as I'd
the right of eminent domain or some
legal or technical clause) would be read
to the colored voter, who would be
asked to give reasonable explanation

to keep the ignorant black from voting
unless he voted the Democratic ticket.l
And yet the Democratic senators rallied
against the bill as giving to the SUPER.
visor lordly powers. What would thew
say IT such clause as that would bel
put into it? This constitution of Mis-
sissippi had been adopted, too, not by a.
vote of the people, but by the conYen-,
tion itself.
Mr.. Spooner pronounced an eloquent
anu SlOhlHS culOSy Ou IuC DIdcK race
for its fidelity to the whites of the South
throughout the war, and inquired
whether it was asking too much to de-
mand that such a race as that, such a.
people as that, should have Justice. 1T

was an inferior one. Perhaps it wasS
he said; but there was room for doubt
whether the negro who, while lgl
norant. was willing 70 obey the
law and the constitution, was not as |
high in his citizenship as the white !
man, who though educated, was willing,
to trample on it, to defy it and to nullify,
it: Referring to Mr.. Stewards speech,
OF yesterday and to his remark that the:
elections law could not be enforced in
the South because public opinion would
not support it. Mr.. Spooner remarked
10 that complexion have we come DIT
last? Have we fallen on condition in
our country that calls for preservation,
by law, of the purity of the ballot at the
North, but that we must stop at Mason
and Dixon's line, because public opin-
ion in the South is in favor of dishonest
and fraudulent and violent suppression.
of the suffrage? | cannot believe it."
Mr.. Spooner spoke for over five hours,
and his speech was listened to with
marked attention and interest on both
sides of the chamber.

SUCCI NOW EATS.
His Wonderful Forty-Fiye Days
Fast Successfully Closes.

New YORK, Dec. 20. - Giovanni
Succfs fast of forty-five days termin-
ated this evening at Sis o'clock, in the
presence of about 400 persons. The
worst attack of gastric trouble
that he had during his fast oc-
CURED at o'clock to-day, during which
his pain was so acute that it was feared
he would collapse, but his strong will
carried him successfully through. From
5 p. m. until he took his first cup of
cocoa at S:l5, his pain continued to be
more or less acute. 1t was evi-
dent in many ways, by the distor-
tions of his face, which was ter
ribly shrunken: by his frequent change
of position on the lounge upon which he
was reclining, by the nervous twitch
ings of his wasted hands, by the rest
less glare of his deep-Sunken eyes. and
in various other ways. When the cocoa
was prepared shortly after O'Clock,
Succi got Off the lounge and staggered
to the table where the nourishing
diet was placed. The spectacle he
presented was truly pitiable. He looked
like skeleton, and when he smiled it
was oihPlJ Shdotly uCH LILO Sdlll0
kind of smile that condemned prisoner
might be expected to make before going
to execution. When he slipped the
cocoa there was burst of applause
from the spectators. 1t was at first
doubtful whether he would be able to
retain the nourishment, but the
uncertainty soon passed away and
Succi gradually resumed his former
buoyancy. Then he appeared for the
first time to be able to realize that his
fast was over and his triumph complete.
At this point George Francis Train was
struck with Spasm of eloQuence, and
exalted Succi and the press to the skies.
Succi then in few words of broken
English thanked everybody, and re-
tired to bed. Many physicians were
among those in attendance and seemed
much interested.
Succi'S weight was not taken since $40
to-day, when he weighed 104s4 pounds.
His weight when he began the fast was
147 pounds. Sunday afternoon at 4
Succi will take his first dinner, after
which he will leave for Boston, where
he will exhibit on stage for Sl.50O per
week. Succi'S fast has undoubtedly
been an honest one, and that fact is the
more creditable to him because as a
financial success his venture baS only
been moderately profitable.
