DENIAL OF THE RIGHT OF SUFFRAGE.
The Committee Report ThereOn-Massa-
chusetts and South Carolina NAMED"
rBy telegraph 70 the DtsDatchI

WASHINGTON, February 24.-Some time
ago the House Judiciary Committee or
dered a favorable report on a resolution
which had been referred to il authorizing
the committee to inquire into and ascer-
tain whether in the Constitutions or legisla-
tive enactments of any States there are
provisions which practically amount TO q
denial of the right of suffrage to certain Of
their citizens, and whether, in conse-
quence, the representation ofthose States in
the House Of Representatives should be
reduced under the provisions of the four
teenth amendment to the Constitution.
At the next meeting of the committee, and
before Mr.. Caswell, of Wisconsin who had
the matter IN charge, had an opportunity
to report the resolution 70 the House, MIR.
Rogers, of Arkansas, moved its recon
sideration, which motion was pending
when the committee adjourned. At to-
days meeting of the committee it
came up again, however, and Mr.. Rogers's
motion was defeated. Mr.. Caswell will re-
port the resolution to the House, and IN
his report will call attention to The fact
that the Constitutions both of Massachu-
sets and South Carolina appear to be
in violation of the Federal Constitu-
ton, and that there Is good warrant for a
congressional investigation. The Demo
Gratis opposed the adoption of the report
and will make two minority reports TO the
House.
