Resolution Aimed at the South's Election Laws Introduced In Congress. Washington, Nov. 13.--Wide spread comment was aroused at the capitol today by the action of Rep resentative Dick of Ohio in intro ducing a resolution providing for a congressional inquiry into the al leged disfranchisement of voters in the South and for the reduction of congressional representations of those States wherein such condi tions are found to exist. Representative Dick is an intima's friend of Senator Hanna, a strong man in the house, and one of the big men in the Republicau party. For this reason there is rightly at tached a far-reaching significance to his resolution that others of the same character introduced by less prominent Republicans entirely lacked. THE RESOLUTION. The resolution reads: ''Whereas, it is a matter of coi mon information and belief that the right of some male citizens being 21 years of age to vote at elections named in said amendment to the constitution named aforesaid. ex cept for participation in the rebellion or other crime, is denied and 0 abridged in certain States, there- 1 fore. ' "Resolved, That the matter he t referred to the committee on electi n of the president, vice-president and representatives in congress, whose I duty it shall be and who shall have full and aniple power to investigate i and inquire into the validity of the I election laws of the several States! and the manner of their enforce- s ment, and whether the right to vote at any election for the choice of electors for president and vice-presi-.u dent of the United States, repre- G sentatives in congress or the meiii bers of the legislature of any State is denied to the male inhabitants of any of the States being 21 years of age and a citizen of the United States, except for participation in ' rebellion or other crimhe." NOMINATION OF DR. CRUM. The Opposition is Still Vigorous to Him i But this is Presidential Year. Washington Post, Nov. 13 The nomination of Dr. Crum, colored, to be collector of customs at Charleston, S. C., has again been referred to the Senate conmnittee on : commerce, and the prolonged fight of the last session of Congress c against his confir-mation will be re newed. There are vacancies in the conunittee to he filled, but oppo nents of Crnmn's confirmation are aware that there will be a majority at this session to report t he inmi nation favorably to the Senate. Senator TFilhuann has jnlst arriv~ed in town andl said yesterday that he had no programme 'outlined. T1he fight will by no means Je abandoned Cruim has been serving on a recess appointment since the Senate ad journed. On principle there is probably a large majority of the Senate opposed to Crum's con firma tion, but for political reasons few Republicans dare, jnust before a Presidential campaign, to vote against him. c Cause of Lockjaw.
