Southern Leaders Who Favor seuatoI
Butler's Remarkable Proposition.

Southern Leaders Who Favor seuatoI
Buffers Remarkable Proposition.
WAsHrNeToE, Dec. 23 The Post pub
fishes the views OF number OF southern
congressman on proposition which, il
says, Senator Butler will bring forward in
the senate before the debate on the cleo
tions bill closes, for joint resolution de-
priving the negro OF his right to vote, and
at the same time reducing relatively
southern representation in congress. Sen.
ator Butler is reported as saying that he
will dare Republican senators to vote for
such n measure, which he declares would
receive his hearty support
Senator Pugh declares emphatically that
the south would not hesitate one moment
to give up any representation based on tht
negro vote i by 30 doing it could forever
eliminate the negro as a political entity
This the senator thinks Is the universal
sentiment Of tho southern people, and this
he thinks could be done by repeating the
Fifteenth amendment to the constitution
and relegating the powers back to the
states again, as 1t was before the adoption
OF that amendment.
Senator Vance IN. CD is not so favorable
to the proposition. He says that the white.
are numerically the stronger in the old
north state; that the races are livinl
peacefully together, and that the whites
have nothing to gain by abridging Tho
negroes right of suffrage AS an abstract
proposition he is opposed TO it. The result
would be to inject into our body polite Il
large class of citizens who can neither vot.
or be voted for.
Representative Stockdale Miss say
that he would be glad to see the negrc
question taken out from politics id the
south, even if this resulted In his losing Lis
seat in congress. Representative Catch
ings, of the same state, said that to elimi
nate the negro and accept the reduced rep
resentation would be a happy solution of q
vexing problem. Public sentiment in Mis-.
sissippi, SO far as he was acquainted with it,
was in favor Of this solution.
Mr. Oates says that two-thirls or the
south are in favor OF reduced representa-.
tion in congress and the electoral college
If, on the other hand, the negro population
is taken out Of the apportionment caleula.
tion.
Representative Mills (Tex) says that
the question does not concern him person.
ally, as there are only 10000 negroes in his
state. But he says that the Republican
party will never consent to disfranchise
the negro, even though the southern rep.
resentation was decreased thereby.

He was married 70 the daughter Of The
late Andrew Ewing, Of Tennessee. in
Nashville. in 1866 There were presents
and congratulatory telegrams from
friends in all parts Of the United States

Of peculiarly generous and open heart
BIS heart is as receptive to friendship for

But the notable feature about the

Of all families that they produce but one
