New York, A;)i. lu.—The members of
the Union l.eague club, of this city,
will take radical steps, it is said,
favoring negro suffiage in the south
at their April meeting, which occurs
tonight.
In a word, congress will be appealed
to to deal v. ith the question along the
liu€ of a radical reduction ci repre
sentation of the southern states in
congress.
It is just a yesr ago that the UniO'n
l.eague club was divided on t!ie ques
tion of discharging negro attendants.
The negro servants were kept by a
^ote of 3 to 1 alter a stormy session.
The rei on of the ciub committee
on i>olitica! reform, which is expected
io precede the action favoring negro
suffrage, will, it is believed, create a
sonsation in the soutlu rn states. Af- ^
tor reciting that touthe.n states have I
iaken stejis to circumvent national leg-
irlation giving sufirage to negroes, the i
)'eport recoaimends that congress be i
asked to take up the question without |
a moment's delay. j
It recommends also that this body i
be asked to cut <Iown southern rejjie- j
>.=ontation, and that a large sum tj° i
iioney be ai>proi>riated to test the va- j
lidity of the recently adopted constitu- i
tions in Alabama, Virginia and other i
i-tat*s in th(' sciith. !
The able? * counsel in this country ^

Jiitions m<‘;:rioned. In ad Iiti!)n to the
sums app:(>j)riat<=d it is i)iO!)csed to
ask rile imlividual i^oii'.bers of the club
to contribure.
