he deseends in his language.
That is: that when he rises to

Judgment Of this House, no in

This resolution was adopted
by q vote of s149 to 80. The

the Democrats present, and
some s. Republicans, OF more
than twicB as many Republic

vietsllfs Amir.
Washington, February 81.
Representatives Epeer,of PENN
|sylyania, and O'Brien, of Mary
|land, ofthe Mississippi Special
Committee. have united in a
report, concluding as follows /:
From a review Of the whole
testimony we briefly state our
conclusion
First That in the city Of
Vicksbnrg rand county of War
rem the white citizens paw
about 80 per cent Of the taxes,
which have grown enormously
oppressive, and that the me-
|groes chiefly assess, collect
and disburse them. sI
Second That the debt of the
city, whichin1S6 was $13, 900,
is now 81, 400, 000, as far as can
be ascertained. That it has
accumulated to this sum by
the reckless and improvident
legislation of the Republican
officials. and is. agrieyous bur-
den imposed on q population
OF Il 600 people, less than half
OF whom are white people.
Third That a corrupt and
Infamous ring. composed of ne
gro officials, has existed in.said
city and county for several
years. who by forgeries, pecn-
lation and systematic. frauds
on the revenues have injured
the public credit, impoverish-
ed the people, and augmented
the taxes to rates resulting in
practical confiscation.
Fourth That Peter Crosby,
the Sheriff and Tax Collector,
was the political and personal
friend of the corrupt officials,
and by his power in Summon
ing juries their conviction was
rendered practically impossi-i
bic; that the Sheriff admitted.
70 bail his political friends
when charged with the gravest
offences on bonds VIGOROUSLY
worthless and was the chief
impeachment to the administra-
ton of justice in the courts.
Fifth That Judge Brown
had publicly declared that the
Prosecution of ,Cardozo, the
leader Of the ring, for malfsas-
ance in Office, was persecution,
when no honest man in Vicks'
burg Of either party doubts his
guilt, and by his partisanshipi
has destroyed public conf
dence in the tribunal over
which he presided. 81 a5
Sixth That the Tax Payers
League was organized irre-.
spective of politics or color, and
that its sole object, as stated
in its constitution and declar-
ed in its meetings, was. to se-
cure capable officials and hon
est Government.
Seventh That the bonds of
Crosby, as sheriff and tax coll
lsctor, were uttefly insult cient,1
It not absolutely worthless.
Eighth That that the Board
Of Supervisors were advised Of
the utter insuf1iciehcy Of Crosr
by's bonds, but corruptly de-
cllned to compel him, as the
law required. to give good and
sufficient bonds. 81
Ninth That the time having

Persons, was solely and Who'll
N caused by the armed at
tempt of the negroes Of Warren
county to invade Vicksburg;
that this invasion VAS melted
and instigated BY Peter Cros-
BY, and that Crosby asladyis-
ed and encouraged to take this
course and was promised aid
in it by Gov. Amess s 3 1856
Eleventh That the defence
Of the city was made under the
direction of the Mayor, and all
the preparations and conduct
of the citizens were justified by
natures highest Law sself-pre-
servation. They acted in de-
fence of their families and their
homes. Any other conse would
have been cruelty to the fami-
lies Of both races, for, as Gen.
Packer testified, it was a mer-
,cy to the women and children,
white and black, that the ne
groes were prevented from en-
tering the city.
Twelfth That the purposes
of the invaders was only limits
ed by the will of their leaders,
and that if they had succeeded
in entering the city thby would
have been assisted by q large
number Of well-armed and
thoroughly organized negroes
in the city, who-were ready to
cooperate with them.
Thirteenth That there is not,
and has not been any organic

ed resistance at Vicksburg on
the part of the whites to lawful
authority, but on the contrary
the white people, owning near
" all the property and paying
nearly all the taxes. are. sincere
" DESTROYS Of preserving peace
and good order. Their interests,
social 1 and business, give
strength to this desire and the
patience they have exhibited
under accumulated wrongs and
outrages, such as citizens Of a
Northern city would not tole>
rate for a day, is the marvel Of
our civilization.
Fourteenth--There is no
White League or political or..
ganizations in Mississippi whose
object is to deny to colored.
men, because ofcolor or for any
reason, any rights orprivileges
guaranteed by law. Nor is
there any political organization.
