Mr. Sitnmsuw waa opposed to recon

that no poll tax should be collected, and
laz obUeeten wen instructed Sot to re

wss defective in stating the deprivation

zens the right to vote, anil that tho State,

roplies to-morrow.

fer to a soloct oommittee eo oraoh of th^
President’s message as raeommended the
absorption of the telegraph system into
