WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-The Post tomorrow will publish the views of a number of southern congressmen on a proposition, which, it says, Senator Butler will bring forward in the senate before the debate on elections bill is closed, for a joint resolution depriving the negro of his right to vote, and at the same time reducing relatively the southern representation in congress. Senator Butler dares Republicans to vote for the measure, which will, he says, receive his hearty support. Senator Pugh says the south would willingly agree to the measure if it would eliminate the negro from politics. Other southern senators express the same view. Vance opposes the scheme. Mills thinks the scheme would make several more northern states Democratic.
