M. I'jLWAINE'S FINE SPEECH He Defends the Plan of Mr. , Moncure. TO HAVE TRI-wEtKLY MEETINGS ?"??inferences on Each Monday, Wednes? day tod Friday Night?Some Lively limes Arc Anticipa.e". ?Tho Democratic suffrag? .c?nfv>-**-*nce ?ard an able speech from Dr. Richard ?? jiiv.-,?!.?, of Prince Edward, last Bight in favor of the piai? One-red by ?jDtlegate Moncurc, of Stafford, and then ?aaupiecl a resolution to hom imeungs on ?MonOay, Wednesday and Friday nighi.-? lat 8 o'clock until t *..<_? matter is finally uis ?osed of. Dr. Mcllwalne-"s ?-peech was a very Able one. and the able leader was often -Jp-jemiptca witii questions* from his col *cjiguee. l'he conter??nce devoted an hour to de baling whether the meetings should be ??i-ocontinued or not. Dr. Moiwaino stat? ed that^iji did not propose to .speak to a han: quoi-tuff; .ihut he did not ?care to pro sen:, his. plan in the conlcrence unless some vote could be taken there; that ho would prefer to epeak on the noor of the convention, whore l.c could be heard by tbe people o? the State, DK. Alll,\VAi;M" PROCEEDS. Finally on a point of order that such matters were premature, and that Dr. '"Mcllwaine had the floor, he began his t-peech et S o'clock and was listened to with mark??* attention. He spoke for an hour uiid iliree-quarters. Dr. Mp"lyra?pe based his plea for an educat?o-nal Ana property qualification on the proposition that tno Black Belt did not have a monopoly of political, social or clvio wickedness. He said Richmond wu* not troubled with the negro vote, end yet ho had seen an officer of tho city Ltfora Una police justice charged with j theft since he had been in the conven- | tion. The election of such a man, he claimed, would not have been possioie it ra suffrage plan containing a property end ?educational qualification was put in force, and while wo ding out negroes? we ?should airo eliminate h class of whites ?who wer?:; also a menuet to good govern? ment. IrZf paid his respects to conditions in Noiftnk also and Haiti tho negro vote was* net responsible for all the municipal corruption there, lie claimed that his plan was the only one so far presented that was not sectional. It would almost completely eliminate the negro vote and at tbe. E,ame ' time would eliminate a large ci?is of*-ignorant or vicious whites. CRIMINAL STATISTICS. Dr. Mcllwaino stirred up the members from tho Southwest by quoting criminal statistics and expenses from that section as compared with those of the black belt. He also compared taxes of the two sec? tions, and strongly vrged that it was a gioat mistake to say that the only trou fole about the suffrage was about the pegro vote. He said an ignorant, im? moral, lazy, white man was of more damage, to .a community than an igno? rant, immoral, lazy negro, and that both ought to be eliminated from the elec? torate."''" ' "" " ? The Speaker stated that.-the Norfolk pledge was ultra vires, and besides it was ridiculous to claim that its action .could bind thc convention. It h ?id no more effect on him than the mumbling Budhist priests of India on the secret conclave of the Pope of Rome. Dr. Mcllwaine made a -splendid and eloquent peroration and was loudly ap? plauded. It was 10:'i"> o'clock. After a. considerable? fight, a resolution ?was adopted providing for conferc-nces or? Monda}', Wednesday ami Friday nights, to ?djoiiftti at 10 o'ciocie M\m DANIEL TO REMAIN. He Consents to Withdrn?v His Resignation. Convention Gossip. As forecasted in Thc Times several days ago. Senator John W.? Daniel will remain a member of the Constitutional Conven? tion. Indeed, he has abandoned all idea of resigning, and has authorized the state? ment to be made. Thc following Epccial was received by Thc Times from its Lynchburg correspon? dent on tho subject last night: "In response to a number of personal let? ters and to representations made to him by Mr. Girts??' yesterday. Senator Daniel io-day authorised the delegate from Lynchburg to withdraw his resignation as a mcMber of the Constitutional Con? vention. It is not .Major Daniel'** *nurposo to go to Washington as yet, as lie has not suf? ficiently recovered to be able to resume hie duties there. The probability is that he will take a sea voyage." The convention means to go forward ?wit.-, its work and complote the new or -i^anic law without any further unneces e&ry delay. This was d??monstr;;Ud yes? terday, .tul the way was cleared for real "iiusirct-s. which is e-xpected to fairly hum from row on.
