coRBIS AND CIVIL RIGHTS. ><s-.
AS stated in my last letter, the colored people
! do not like the report OF the Senate committee
on the Judiciary, on the 'bil to enforce the pro-
visions OF the Civil Rights bill OF the United States
Congress, and to secure to the people OF the
State the benefits Of republican form OF gov
ernment:' Early this morning, members OF the
House could be seen walking around with copies
OF the report, and were heard denounclng 1t anu
its author. About O'Clock, W. H. Jones, colored,
introduced in the House concurrent resolution
| providing that the Hon. d. T. Corbin, Presi'
dent OF the Senate, member Of the codilying
commission, and eI o6lcio Lieatenant-GoVernorol OF
the State, be requested to resign the above named
| positions, and all others given to him by those
whose rights he has always ignored" The intro
duction OF this resolution caused considcrablede de
| bate. Some asserted that the passage OF fifty
| resolutions wouldn't make Corbin resign his
Offices; others contelded that the resolution was
intended as an expression OF the opinion OF the
House regarding the report. Finally, the resolu-
tion, on motion OF Morrison, was laid on the table
by q vote of IL to S7-absent and not voting, 45.
INDIGNATION MEETING.

publicans to rally to grand Indignation meeting

At night there WIS large number OF senators
and members, and quite a large number OF ctl-
zens of Columbia present in the hall Several OF
the legislators bore every appearance Of being
cooked aud primedn with big speech, which

devoted head of Corbin during the evening; but
the unexpected appearance of Coroin in the
midst of the assemblage few minutes previous
to the meeting being called to order, made sere-
raj change their minds, and determine to preserve
their nre.h
Shortly after O'Clock, the meeting was or
| canized by calling W. J. Brodle colored, OF
Charleston, to the chair. Lafayette j. Wooll acted
as secretary. W. H. Jones, a. ]. Ransier' De-
Large, Puryis and Small made speeches de-
nouncing the report, and all relating their varl'
GUS wrongs OF the coored people, the main ones
being that they were not allowed 10 enjoy the
benefits OF the form Of the government which
they fought, bled and draw per diem for. Coroln
defended the report. whipper (who, of course, as
chairman OF the House judiciary Committee,
must have felt snubbed by the Judiciary Com

some OF the sections which had passed his conf

as cheat and q swindlc Swails sustained the
report, and argued that the House ought to thank
