HE Civil Rights EsiU,

The Washington Chronicle gives as
below the details of conference of the
Judiciary Committee on this bill. It
will be seen that the leaders have weak
ened on the mixed school, cemetery
and other features
1t seems probable that majority Of
the committee are against the measure
IN Its present form, objection being made
to the mixed school provision as well as
the cemetery clause. During the in
formal conversation yesterday Judge
w hite, of Alabama, declared that the
passage of the bill in its present form
would result in the utter humiliation of
the republican party in the South, and
that IN the next election not single
state could be secured by his party. To
obvlate the disagreeable consequences
resulting from the enactment Of the
present bill, he submitted to the com
mlttee a substitute. This abolishes the
provision making criminal prosecution
obligatory upon the United States officials
where the law is violated, and entirely
obvlates the inconveniencies resulting
from the mixing OF the white and coIored
races. This substitute was submitted to
the commit ee for disposition. and. nine
members being present, was adopted.

The Governors message and the reso-
lntions of the Legislature are twin off
springs of Misrepresentation aud hatred.
They have common origin and their
Is perfect. Alike they as
perse the Warren county taxpayers and
attribute to theEnthe entire blame of the
disturbance. They contain no syllable
of censure for the forgers, embezzlers and
law-breakers who originated the trouble.
The authors have an acute perception of
the killing of the ignorant and depraved
people who, instigated by Ames' procla-
nation and summoned By Crosby, rushed
to Vicksburg on the fatal night of De
cember the 9Th, with arms in their hands
and sacks ON their shoulders to murder
the citizens, and pillage their houses-but
they are blind as bats to the fact that the
Staying was done purely in self-defence
:, under circumstances perfectly justi-
lie in the eyes of God and man. The
lssissippi river would have rolled back
to its source before the citizens of Vicks-
burg could have submitted to such an in
vasion. They have set an example al
ways to be followed under Ike pro7oca-
ton, AMI not crime to be punished
The language of the message implies
a call for special militia organization
with reference to Warren county
affairs; but the partizsns who dictated
the action of the Legislature, recoiled
from the hazardous experiment. They
well knew that no matter into what sort
of difficulty they might, on the spur of
the moment, plunge a cred ulous mass of
negroes, they could not induce them de-
hberately to organize themselves into a
military force to whip out the taxpayers
and make them submissive to such vii
lianies as have been committed in War
rem county. Hence, though it has cost
them the admission that the Ames adj
ministratiou, is wretched failure, wholly
without the sympathy or confidence of
the people whose money supports it under
the system of legalized robbery now op-
Grating, they have made the habitual
call of the carpet-baggers on the national
authorities for troops. We are willing
for the admission of imbecilitv, and the
misrepresentation of the taxpayers, to go
out together, hand in hand. An impair
tial public will reasonably conclude that
it is a very mean administration which
has no support at home; and they have
learned to know the worth of statements
which emar ate from that source concern
ing Southern affairs.
We do not believe that the President
will furnish the troops called for. Such
applications have become a nuisance at
and an affront to the
people OF the Northern States. But if
the troops are sent, they will be placed
under restrictions that will not admit of
their interfering with the right of the
people to manage their own affairs in a
egal and a--peaceahle way-and this is
Ill they have ever claimed.

Behol.. the Contrast.


Elsewhare we have copied from the Con-
gressional proceedings the resolution of
the House Of Representatives in appoint
Ell "A committee to investigate the affair
of the Warren county taxpayers and the
indicted and delinquent officials. The
reader will not fill to contrast the Con-
gressional resolution with the resolution
which rabid clrpet-baggers and ignorant
and malicious negroes passed through the
Mississippi Legislature. The former
declares the purpose of Congress to ''in-
''vestigate the facts relative to the recent
troubles in Warren county" while the
resolution of the partizan majority in our
State Legislature prejudged the case
in the very act of appointing
Committee to investigate the facts, and
stigmatised the affair as an instruction"
Gen. Mckee, Il Republican, introduced
the Congressional resolution, and as it
provided an investigation, or trial first,
with "a view to judgment afterwards, it
was promptly endorsed by Col. Lamar
and was passed without a dissenting
vote. Not so with the malignants of the
Legislature, who reversed The
rule and pronounced judgment before
the parties were heard

Grand Total,

Exclusive Of privilege tax on an as
sessed value Of realty and personally, Of
So, sos, 261.
These official figures show that on a
property valuation of six hundred mill
lions of dollars the taxpayers under hon
est and economical rule were required to
pay on an average less than 500, 900 per
annum to carry on the State govern
ment, while under the present corrupt
and extrayagant misrule, on a property
basis of only one hundred and ffty-four
millions Of dollars, they are required to
pay upwards of TWO MILLIONS ONE HUN
DRIED THOUSAND DOLLARS under pre-
tence of defraying the expenses of the
State government.
To this is to be added more than TWO
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS for local or county
purposes, which under citizens rule,
amounted to less than half a million of
dollars
Is it wonder that the people in The
anguish Of their souls are crying out for
relief, AMI are determined to make a SUI
preme effort to rid themselves of the
burden?

In recent letter published in the San
Francisco Examiner, our former we'll
known tellow-citizen, Hon. William NJ
Gurn Of California, makes the FOLLOWING
reference to the recent elections in re
Southern States: tue
one great result of the recent elections
you did not allude to in your letter. II
Is the break in the serried ranks of COL
ored voters in the Southern States. here
tofore controlled by Republican Garnet
9,aggers and renegade white natives of
the South. Louisiana and Alabama arc
indebted to colored voters for the Fri.
umPh OF the peoples party over these
leaders backed by Federal bavonets
Inc heel OF the despot is thrust from their
necks by the aid of colored votes. This
Is the beginning of a new era in these
states the downfall of cappet-bag rule
the end of the reign of officials who baye
robbed and oppressed the people with
and, let us hope, the rescue of
many of these States from the inev;tshIa
bankruptcy with which they are now
threatened. no"

Death OF "a Good Man.

When as useful and good man as
Andrew j. McConico Of Water Valley

filled the Office of Secretary at the time
of its consolidation with the Great North

No CensUre for sEle TaxpIunderers.

1t is worthy Of note that while Gov.
Ames and his Legislative followers, are
intensely bitter in their arraignment of
the Warren county taxpayers, they have
not word of censure for the tax plum
derers. Their souls are centred in the vim
dication of the latter and the punishment
of the former. They have no ears for the
complaints of the aggrieved people.
What right Cirque these ofiice-holders,
havethe people to complain of hge taxes
and to revolt against robbery and muir
der? Were they not made to be
tieeced? And ought they not to be led
like lambs, dumb, to the slaughter?
Like the Duke of Alva, what, in the way
of insult and wrong, have they left un-
done, for the wholesome affiiction of the
people who pay the taxes, and why should
not the recipients of all these blessings.
instead of complaining and protesting,
kiss the rod that smites them and devout
ly thank their oppressors for leaving
body and soul together?
