The constitutional consti-tutional convention has been engaged all day considering the report of the legislative committee as unfinished business. The select committee to which was referred the resolution asking ask-ing the repeal of the fifteenth amendment amend-ment today reported in favor of its repeal re-peal with only one dissenting vote. Tho report say3 that whilo the two races are friendly "in business affairs they are separated by race instincts and prejudices preju-dices on all political and social matters, mat-ters, and there is no hope of a change; that one or the other race must have control of political affairs, which will continuallv cause conlliets. Tho committee com-mittee states, as its deliberate judgment, judg-ment, that the only effectual remedy is the repeal of the Fifteenth amendment, amend-ment, so that the southern states can regulate negro suffrage as may be found necessary. Congress is asked to submit sub-mit a proposition to the various states for its repeal, and the committee states that Mississippi will gladly give up any representation sho is entitled to by reason of the negro vote. Mississippi s representatives and senators in con-ercss con-ercss are asked to bring the matter before be-fore that body. The resolution will come up later for consideration. |
