N. Dec. Ri.— hi the Senate
Friday a number of unimportant bills wero reported Iron, the mmitteos and placed on the calendar, after which Senator Plumb's (Kan.)/esoluiion for daily meetings at 10 and for evening' sessions was taken up, It was passed after being amended iy striking out tho clause for evening sessions.
Tho resolution offered Thursday by Senator Dolph (Ore.) instructing tho committee on privileges and elections to inquire and report whether the right to vote at any election for Presidential Electors, Members of Congress or State Legislatures or officers is denied to any male citizens of any Stale or is abridged, except for participation in tho rebellion or other crini*\ was taken up. ami Senator Dolph stated the reasons which had induced him to oiler it. What be desired the committee on privileges and elect ions to give special attention to was whether some .States had not provided in t-hcirconstitutionsor laws such voting qualifications as were not permit tied by section 'J of the fourteenth amendment to the constitution, without au abridgement of representation. He claimed that the constitution recently adopted in Mississippi did impose such qualifications, «.nd therefore the representation of that State should be abridged. lie did not deny the power of a Slate to make such provisions ami to require such quail flea lions, but ho asserted that- if they were made, and if by them citizens of the United States had their right of suffrage denied or abridged, 'the representation of such State ought to be diminished in like proportion. 11** sent to tho clerk's desk and it ad read the recent inaugural message of Governor Tillman, of South Carolina, which, ho said, was an official declaration that the great mass of the colored people of the
South were not lit to exercise the elective franchise and the white people of tho South were in control of tho State governments and proposed to maintain the control at all hazards. These two propositions ta'-ren together showed clearly, he said, that the colored people of the South would not be permitted to vote so long as they voted tho Republican ticket or where their voting would secure Republican control. {Senator. Vest (Mo.) moved an amendment instructing the committee to inquire further whether by any State legislation any citizen of the United States was denied the right to work on any public improvement by reason of his color. There was, he said, aright antecedent to ami superior to the right of suffrage. Thai was the right of every human being to ob«\v the Divine injunction: "In the sweat of thy faco thou shall eat bread." It was the right of self-sustenance,olself-preservation. Tho Senator road a clause from a recent statute of the Oregon Legislature au* thorizing ihe bail ling of a bridge and providing that none but white laborers should be employed on the work.
It might be said* Senator Vest, remarked, th/.t the provision was intended to exclude Chinese labor, but the language of the statute was "white labor," and it excluded tho Mongolian, the Indian and the negro. Not one of the ^."i.ouu negro soldiers who fought in the Union army could draw a dollar for his labor on a bridge authorized by the Legislative Assembly of Oregon. Whatever might be said of the Democratic States of tho Union, not one of them had ever denied to a negro the right to earn his bread and that of his family by his own honest labor. Not one Democratic State had ever perpetrated such an outrage.
Senator Dolph replied to Senator Vest and the discussion drifted into the question of the treatment of Chinamen on the Pacific coast. The resolution Anally went over without action, and debate of the elections bill was resumed, Senators Rlodgett (N. J.) and Walthall (La. arguing in opposition to it.

couragement that has been given to Indiana farmers to raise sugar beets promises to lead to ihedevelopment of a large sugar industry in the State. The manufacturers of beet sugar have long endeavored to induce Indiana agriculturists to give Mime attention to the cultivation of the S'i -ar beet, ami have often oxpressed the opinion quite positively that it could be raised here with greater success than farther west. The German ma.nuI'acMtrers four years ago offered to .supply the S ate Roard of Agriculture with all the seed that could:-. be ad antageously used, and {ruVc'-the assurance that if the experiments were encouraging they would locate sugar inanulacturing plants in th«• State. They wero not given the right kind of aid, however. and nothing came of their offer. Prof.
W. Wiley, th" chemist, of the National Rurcnti of Agriculture, who is an Indiana man, lias -ince persistently urged lhat some attention should be given to tin* industry, and has delivered several addresses on tie* subject before the State Roard of Airricnllure. besides alluding to it in his published official reports. The Oxnard Reel ."MIgar Company of Grand Island, Neb., has co-oper-ated with htm in endeavoring to awaken interest in the matter, and last spring sent to Mr. Alexander Heron, the see'vtary of the Mate Roard of Agriculture, a larg'-* quantity of seed f»r distribution. T,hee were sent to between 150 and *JU0 of the most progressive farmers in the different parts of the State, with instructions to forward to Secretary Heron at tho end of the season specimens of the product to be transiuiiled b/ him to St .6* Chemist Huston at Pardue-., University for analysis. V:
The analyses of tbe chemist have been highly encouraging, li was found last year that the yield averaged, according to the variety, from thirteen to sixteen tons per acre and tbe percent, of sugar found in each variety was from to Secretary Heron says that he has been informed by President Smart of Purdue University that tliis year it has been found by the Slate chemist lhat some of the varieties contain as high as ii) per cent, of sugar, wbieh is 4 per cent, more than the best products of Nebraska, while in Germany the average per cent. of sugar is b. The secretary thinks that it has been so well *demonstarated that the industry can be made successful in Indiana that manufacturing plants will be established in this State and tho development of the., business will be begun wiUiout. much delay. The Oxnar Company' of Nebraska has given assurances that i! will'locate a plant somewhere in Indiana, not alone for the purpose of getting the product in this.State but because it will be equally convenient, to Ohio and Illinois fields, where, in places, the beets can be raised quite as successfully as iu Indiana. To stimulate the interest which has been awakened in the industry United States Chemist Wiley will come lo Indianapolis again next month to lecture before the Slate
Roard of Agriculture on beet culture and the prospects of sugar manufacturing in Indiana,
