REDUCTION OF SOUTHERN REPRESENTATION.

II is to he especially noted that the Moody resolu.

ing party measure. The republicans might or might
not be in favor OF such measure, If there were not
danger that It would prove boomerang. The coun-
ter resolution of Representative Fleming of Georgia d.
rected against Massachusetts shows the danger to
which the republicans exposed for Massachusetts
has educational qualification the suffrage Many
Of the other States of the North have an educational
qualification and some have property qualification
besides
1t is not likely that the Moody resolution will he
adopted by congress. Several republican papers and
several republican congressman have expressed them
selves against it.
Besides the injustice of It, and besides the danger
that would cut both ways the resolution is unconsti
tutona That part Of the fourteenth amendment upon
which is founded which provides the reduction of
representation in congress, is superseded by the IF
teenh amendment, which provides The right of the
citizens OF the United States shall not be denied
or abridged by the United States or by any State on
account of race, color previous condition of servi
tude The decision of the question as to whether the
state has denied abridged the right of citizens to
vote in violation Of this amendment rests not with con
gress, but with the supreme of the United States
The opinion has been generally expressed by the
press and public men throughout the country that the
Moody resolution will fail to pass that congress will
not take 1t mp this session.
