submit a Report.


Submit Report.
WASHINGTON, Jan. H. Chandler,
Hoar, Mitchell and Higgins, constituting
the Republican minority of the Senate
Committee on Privileges and Elections,
presented a report to the Senate on the
bill for the repeal of the Federal election
laws late this afternoon. The report says
it is proposed to overthrow all the exist
ing provisions of national legislation for
securing honesty in the elections for
members of the national House of Rep
resentatives. These provisions were en-
acted largely for the security of elections
in Northern cities. The laws now in
force were passed chiefly in consequence
of frauds and crimes which had been
committed by the Democratic party in
the city Of New York, under the leader
ship OF Tweed and his associates, and
those laws commended themselves alike
to his Republican opponents and to many
respectable and judicious Democrats.
The report reviews the circumstances
which led to the enactment Of reconstruc-
ton legislation, the civil rights bill aud
the election laws, at great length. The
passage of the bill Will convey to the
people of the country this notice: 1.-The
Democratic party, controlled by the States
of the solid South, has ineradicable hos
