ed by this House on the 18th day of Janua-
ry, 1875, in relation TO the action of Lieut.

the State of Louisiana, was passed in rela-
ton to the military action of an officer OF
the United States army without the juris-
dietion of this State; and,
Whereas. The actioa of Gen. Sheridan,
which was thereby approved, was arbitra-
ry, tyrannical and revolutionary. and in di-
rect antagonism with civil government and
republican Institutions and,
Whereas, The policy which the said Gen.

rate, would have also embraced the
sovereign State Of Mississippi, If his coun-
ellis had prevailed; and,
Whereas, The said Gen. Sheridan, in his
proposed plan of operations, and as an ex-
cuse therefor, acted on false rumors and
sIanderous statements of the condition and
animus Of the white people of the South
toward the Federal Government and its en-
franchised citizens and then and there de-
nounced the people of the South as 'ban-
ditti;' and,
Whereas, This House, in approving the
action of Gen. Sheridan i'm this behalf add
ed for partisan purposes, and with knOwl-
edge that in so doing they slandered the
people they falsely claimed to represent;
