Report of Lhe Grand Jury upon

DESoTo COUNTY. {

STATE OF MIssIssIPPLl
DESoTo COUNTY.
Circuit Court, Sept. Term 1876.
To the Hon. Samuel Potcel, Judge Of the Sd
Judicial District OF Mes:
For the first time in the history of this
county extending now through a period OF
forty wears, a Grand Jury of DeSoto eoun
ty have found it necessary to investigate
and report upon a riot of a serious charac-
ter growing to some extent out of political
differences. In entering upon an inyeSti-
CATION of the unhappy occurrences of Mon
day 18th inst, your Grand Jury, composed
as it is, of members representing both races
as well as both political parties, have
striven to lay asiGe all party prejudice aud
to ascertain by the most patient labor the
true facts of the case. In this attempt they
have examined under oath more than 80
witnesses of whom perhaps one-fourth
were white and three fourths were colored
of the whites several were Republicans
The blacks it is believed all belonged to
that party. Amid such a multitude Of wit
nesSes there were of course discrepancies as
to immaterial points ami some conflict as to
matters of importance; but in the main
there was a concurrence and almost una
Eimity OF testimony that leaves but LITTLE
room for doubt as to the true history of the
occurrence.
Three days before the fiOt there na0 peer
a Joint political discussion at Pleasant Hill
in this county, between Col. Van 81. Man
ming, Democratic, and Judge Thomas Wal
ton. Republican candidate for Congress
There was present a very large audienc'
composed mainly of whites. Judge Wal
toms speech on the occasion was addressed
principally to the blacks. It was .deemeI
by the whites highly iBflamatory in it
character, and as calculated to stir up tn
preiudiees and iGcite the worst passions o
the colored people. That this opinion Wa
not based wholly on party bias seems to b
proven by the fact that several leading col
ored men nave testified before us in earnes
depreciation of its tone n by the still NOR
pregnant circumstance that ex-ChancellO
Campbell. the Chairman of the Republican
County Committee, earnestly demonstrate
with Judge Walton upon the temper of hi
remarks, and stated to him that If he per
sisted in that course of canvass he shOul
resign his position on the county committe
and take no ferther part in the any
Unable to exact from Judge Walton Al
pledge to alter his course in this regarl
