Favors Disfranchisement. In Ihe constitutional convention at Jack son, Ml-., Sept. 30, the committer to which was referred the subject of memorialixing congress on the repeal of tbe fifteenth amendment, reported long set of resolu tion. They set forth thai the white and negro race, though frlendlr and bomogene ons tor all bosiness and industrial purposes, are widely separated by race inatinots and u ejudioes in all politloal and social matters.
