Albany, Aug. 23.—At noon Saturday
District Assembly No. 24«, Knights of
Labor, ordered all its members em¬
ployed at the yards at Green Island of
the Delaware and Hudson, to “strike at
once.” The order was generally obeyed
and the Delaware and Hudson company
fonitd itself confronted with the same
itato of affairs that existed about a
week ago when a Similar tie-up went
into effect.
The tronble ail grew out of the hand¬
le# of <JentrHl freight by the Delaware
and Hudson road. A committee of the
day knights waited upon the company Fri¬
and asked that it be definitely agreed
that no more Central ' eight hs moved.
A reply was forth cofi.. "x from the road
Saturday morning to the effect that the
company lines all freight propsed to transport over its

AN IMPORTANT QUESTION.
According to Certain Law* Have Men a
Right to^StrJke ?
New York, Aug. 25.—A special
The Herald from Washington says that
a question of great importance at this
time has been raised in connection with
the strike of the Knights of Labor on
the New York Central road. It is
whether the members of the executive
board or District Assembly No. 246 are
not liable to be proceeded against under
the provisions of the act entitled: “An
act to protect wade and commerce
against unlawful restraints and monop¬
olies.” It is known in congressional
parlance as the anti-trust bill.
A Senator** View*.
A prominent senator, whose legal
of ability the is unquestioned, says in speaking
act:
“I believe that under a strict interpre¬
tation of the first section of that act a
great many strikes on railroads and in
other fields will be averted. While it
was framers evidently of thi not the intention of the
* ' * ------
classes way.wRh the st:
to
section, under a strict and literal inter¬
demeanor, pretation, tVould seem to make it a mis¬
.
“The first section reads: ‘Every con¬
tract, otherwise, combination in the form or trust
of or trade or conspiracy in the restraint
or commerce among several
states or with foreign nations, is hereby
declared to be illegal. Every person
who shall make any such contract or en¬
gage in any such combination or con¬
demeanor, spiracy shall he deemed guilty of a mis¬
and on conviction thereof
shall be punished by a fine not exceed-
.Ow *
court.' "
The senator continued: “There is no
instance in the New York Central strike,
of are law restraining evidently trade. does While the spirit
not aim at strikes,
I have no doubt that, if a test case be
made of it, it would result in the con¬
viction of ths men.” ■
“Section 4 of the lalf provides: ‘The
several circuit courts of the United
States are hereby invested with jurisdic¬
tion to prevent and restrain violations
of this act, and it shall be the duty of
the several district attorneys of the
United States in their rasped tive dis¬
tricts, attorney under general, the direction institute of the

Report of the Judiciary Committee 0 f
tbe Constitutional Convention at Jack-
son Upon til. Act of Congress Readmit¬
ting tba Stats Into the'*Coton— Action
Postponed.
Jackson, MUs., Aug. 25.-The judi¬
ciary committee of the Aonstttutional
convention submitted its report Friday.
It was signed Wily P. Harris, chairman,
but was written hy ex-Cbief Justice
Simrall, a veteran Republican. The re¬
port says in part:
The committee to which was referred
the following resolution:
tee Resolved, be requested That the make judiciary commit¬
at early day to possible a special Upon the report
as a as ef-
from changing the . constitution —.tMgtfo of ttate the
state Of Mississippi, adopted in 1869, so far
as the said act shall affect the work of this
convention,
beg leave to respectfully submit the fol¬
lowing report:
Without venturing to decide what con¬
gress might authority, possibly undertake to do by
assumed your committee pro¬
ceeds at once to consider the legal action
submitted. In the Federal constitution
there are several provisions which relate
to the elective franchise. The first is the
second section of f.rst article:
The house of representatives ahull be
people composed of the of-members several chosen by the
tors in each shall states; have and the elec¬
state tlie qualifica¬
tions required for electors of the most
numerous branch of the state legislature.
It will be noted that this section does
not prescribe, or indeed contemplate, uni¬
form qualification in all the states. The
entire subject of the franchise—as to who
■hall have It, and the qualifications of the
elector—Is left to the absolute and unre¬
stricted discretion of the state. As might
be expected, when the constitution was
framed and adopted, each state had a rule
of its own. There was no uniformity
then; there was not in 1870, the date of the
readmission act, nor does it exist now.
The fourth section of Article 1 is as fol¬
lows:
The times, places and manner of holding
elections for senators and representatives
shall bo prescribed in eitch state by the
legislature time, thereof, law, but the congress may
at such any regulations, by change, make or alter
ot chosing except The as to the place
senators. power conferred
- .. .
ner of holding determined an e: and fixed' by
tives, as Congress appoint ___
states. may a time and
manner for congressional and senatorial
elections.
But who shall vote at the congressional
elections—whether both sexes or one, and
at what hour, whether the electors shall
own property, whether educated or not, Is
left precisely where it was placed hy the
second section of the same article (l).
The fourteenth amendment terms recog¬
nize the right of the state to determine
who shall vote. Those clauses which re¬
duce the representation, if any male citi¬
zen of the United States and of the state,
am excluded from the franchise as a class.
It is plain in the opinion of the oommit-
tee, from this section of the constitution,
that congress cannot confer suffrage, can¬
not make a voter, and that we must look
to the several states, and their laws and
constitution* to ascertain who are legally
competent to vote for Federal elective offi¬
cers.
The fifteenth amendment has but one
operation, and was engrafted in the con¬
stitution for the single purpose of laying
an inhibition on the state as discriminat¬
ing against the colored man because of race
or previous condition of servitude. The
state has just as large dteotstlon lu regu¬
lating the franchise as » had before lta
adoption, with the single limitation that
the regulations which it prescribes shall
apply alike to both races. If a property
or education qualification shall be
thought wise or expedient, or if the pay¬
ment of taxes, or a longer residence In
state and county should be deemed expe¬
dient, either or all may be adopted, pro¬
vided they are applied alike to both races.
Another important question directly
connected with this iavestigatiou is what
was the status of Mississippi , at the close
of the civil war f More especially what
was the conception of congress, and On
what promises did it proceed in the meas¬
ures and scheme of reconstruction 1 It
most be conceded on all sides that the
state had cither severed her connection
with the Union, and fod placed herself
outside of it, or that her acts^Tn concert
with other states, in like circumstances,
had so far interpreted and displaced Fed¬
eral authority that she had lost her Fed¬
eral relations as a state to the Union.
Congress accepted the Utter view. The
reconstruction acts, and, Indeed, the
series - f measures cognate thereto, cul¬
minating into the readmlssion act of 1870,
are predicted on the idea that the state
had lost a remarkable form of govern¬
ment, in the sense of the guaranty clause
of the constitution on that subject, and
that it was the duty of congress In the
exercise of its political powers to assure
to her such government.
New states admitted to the dignity of
sisterhood in the Union have the same de¬
gree and measure of sovereignity as did
any one of the original t hirteen states, and
that this independence and sovereignity
was necessarily implied and guaranteed
by the Federal compact.
Whatever may have been the effect of
the action of the southern states, denom¬
inated either a secession or rebellion, and
of the reconstiuction acts viewed as judi¬
cial or political questions and without
enumerating tbe diverse opinions on these
important questions, ws are of the opinion
that the readmisslon of these states Into
tbs union fully and forever settled the
status of the states thus readmitted, -end
that the congress thereby lost all control
or jurisdiction over this matter, aad the
states thus readmitted Into the Union be¬
came at once ipso facto under the con-
(titutlou reinvested with ail t he sovereign
power* possessed by any end all the other
