Mississippi Defended - Hawicy Has
Word-Adiourned Untii Monday.
tBy telegraph 70 tho Dispatah.l
WAsuTSoToS. December 81. II

WASHINGTON. December II. l6yU.
After some preliminary business the cleo
tions bill was taken up and MIR. George ad-
dressed the Senate in opposition To the bill.
Mr.. George alluded to tho statement
made yesterday by Mr.. Hoar that there
was not line or sentence in the bill that
would correct the alleged evils and wrongs
growing out of the new Constitution OF
Mississippi. and said that nevertheless the
time OF the Senate had been largely occu-
pied by Republican senators in discussion
of that concededly irreve|ant question.
MISSISSIPPI DEFENDED.
Mr.. George proceeded TO review and de-
fond the course of thepeople OF Mississippi
in the adoption of their new Constitution,
and TO discuss In that connection the
Constitutions and statutes OF other States
on the subject of suffrage and the negroes.
In winding pp this part of his argument
Mr.. George said that he had thus gone
through O history Of the legislative and
constitutional provisions of northern and
western States, not with tue the view
Of charging their people with INCONSISTENCY.
but with the V ew of showing tho judgment
of the American people that the negro race
was incapable Of self-government. This was
before the adoption of the fifteenth con-
stitutional amendment had prohibited dis
tinctions on account of race. Mississippi
having larger proportion of negro popu-
lation than any other State, having 100000
voters who are unable TO read and who are
uniformed az to civil and free lnstitu-
tions, it had been proper to call conven-
ton to correct the evil, not of negro sui
frage per Sc but of all ignorant and debased
suffrage.
After speaking for four and half hours,
NJ. George said he was weary and tired
and would like to stop now end TO have
the privilege of finishing his speech when
the Senate meets again.
No objection to his request came from
the Republican side of the chamber.
pIous HAwLEY SEES THE HAND OF PROVIDENCE.
Mr.. Hawley made an explanation of some
points made by Mr.. George In connection
with the laws and political practices Of
Connecticut and followed with another
criticism of the new Constitution of Mis-
sissippi, which, he said, contained apatent.
open, acknowledged defiant device for dis
franchisng tho colCred citizens of Missis-
sippi
Senator George could not justify it and
could not answer the papers OF hlS own
State that condemned it. depending bill
was intended to remedy such cases as that.
Perhaps it could not do so. But that clause
of the Mississippi Constitution was ono OF
the most tremendous arguments IN favor
of the bill. II seemed TO have been brought
in by Providence right in the very crisis OF
the controversy.
The Senate OF $50 adjourned till Friday
noon with the understanding that then q
further adjournment will take place TIL
Monday noon.

ceased was Mr.. X. S. Dudley, OF West

DANvIILE TOBACCO TRADE.
The Reqis,er's resInle of the tobacco sta
tistics for the year 1890 shows that the
sales of loose leaf from January to Janu-
ary amounted to about 26. 900, 900 pounds.
The average price paid since October LIST
was about Si2 per hundred.
The shipments of manufactured tobacco
for the year were 7,S56,345 pounds, as
against 1852 1854 pounds the previous year.
The shipments in 1899 were about so per
cent. in excess Of the shipments Of the pre-
vious year. and the shipments in 1880
showed month by month a gratifying in
crease over the shipments in 1889 until the
rebate question began to agitate the trade.
Since that time there has been heavy
decrease in shipments. and but for this in
reference il is believed that Danville's
shipments would have amounted TO at
least 1O,OOOOOO pounds during the year just
closed.
