Co wle and Grant Fall lu Una With Inaurgenta. Henator Simmons on Tobacco Interests. The Democratic Senators in WftBhin?ton expect to fight the new tariff bill strenuously, because they claim faith has been broken with them and with the eople. Senator Bailey says he will remain a month loneer in Washington if necessaiy. (Senator Simmons declares that he will remain there indefinitely before he will submit without earnest pro test to the unjust treatment of Southern interests in the new bill. Senator Simmons said the conferees in the amendment putting cotton bagging on the free list ana impos iog the old Dingley rate had delib erately sacrificed the interest or tne cotton growers for the jute bagging factory in the district oi Kepresen tative McCall, of Massachu'8ett8,who is one of the conferees. And this action was taken by the Senate con ferees fter assuring S. G. Senators that they would stand by them in this action. Senator Simmons stated Friday that the Senators from the tobacco growing States were given assur ances that the two cents increase in the internal revenue tax on mann factured tobacco would be stricken out in conf rence, but it now leaks out when the conferees decided to reduce the tax on.corporatiors from two to one per cent, they determined to make good the loss of revenue by putting it on tobacco. In other words, they took the burden of sup lying this needed revenue off the corporations of the country and put it ou tne tooacco industry wnicn is chiefly a Southern industry Continuing, Senator Simmons Baid : "These are not the only Southern interests sacrificed but they illustrate the way we were treated and as our representatives were excluded from the conference we had not one to sneak for ub. All three of the Republican Con gressman from North Carolina will vote for the bill. Congressmen Cowles and Grant have been acting with the insurgents who oppose free taw materials, but they developed a case of cold feet and were among the first to desert their crowd and fall in line with the administration for free hides and a reduction in duty on lumber. There are a num ber of these Republican insurgents who refuse to surrender and assert . they will vote against the bill. One .. ot tne tnings agreed to Dy tne con' ferees which was in doubt, was the 15 per cent, duty on briar wood and .laurel for making pipes. At the instance of Senator Sim' mons there was incorporated in the urgency appropriation bill today an amendment appropriating twenty thousand dollars to the Atlantic Coist Line, being the amount of court judgment.

Congressman Webb Dissects the Measure Presented by the caagrMsman. Sneaking of the bill introduced by representative Cowles providing for the re-enactment of reconstruc tion statutes having to do with the conduct of elections, Representative Webb made the following statement t day: "It is almost unbelievable that anybody should seriously think of re-enacting those hated statutes now. They are relics or tne days when the Northern had his heel on the necks of the white people of the South; when the negro did the voting and the whites were disfran chiseu and carpetbaggers had gene ral control in the land. The mere reading of these old sections of re. construction laws levived bitter memories of sectional hate, strife and race feeling. Why a young white man of the South who was bori time the civil war, should attempt to re-enact such obnoxious laws 44 years after the civil war, is past un derstanding. "I do not believe you could hnd a half-dozen Northern Republican Congressmen bitter enough to stand for such laws again. In revising the criminal laws of tne United SUtes in the last Congress when the Republicans had a large n.ajority, to Republican, North or JJsoutb, could be found who was willing to suggest the re-enactment of these s atutes. "The author of the bill under takes to justify his action by saying that there are no State or Federal statutes to punish election thieves. He shows remarkable nniamiliarity with our own election laws in mak ing this statement, for there he will find it a crim9 to abet illegal reg istration, to bribe or attempt to br.be a voter, intimidate a voter or discharge an employee on account of ms vote disturbing elections, fraudulent voting, impersonating another voter, treating with liquor, false entries by election officers, failure of officer to make returns of election, false return, etc. Our iaws to protect eletitons are as good as any State has, North or South, and the unscrupulous and dishonest election officers of whom Mr. Cowles complains surely do not Jive in niB diBtnct or he would not have been elected. "Section 5,51o, which it ib now proposed to re enact, makes it a Federal offence to violate a. State law in regard to elections, which means the turning over completely of our criminal laws relating to elections to the Federal authority mdges and marshals. I here is no State in tne Union to-day tnat would stand foi such an extreme and dingerous proposition "sure our voun friend .does not understand the full import of his bill. Let us hope that he does not."
