New Orleans, in the State of Louisiana, was
passed in regard to the military action of an
officer Of the United States army without
the jurisdiction of this State and,
Whereas, The action of General Sheridan, |
which was thereby approved, was arbitrary, |
tyrannlcal and revolutionary and in direct |
antagonlsm with civil government and re-
publican institutions; and
whereas, The policy which the said |
General Sheridan then and there sought |
to inaugurate, would have also embraced |
the sovereign State of Mississippi, if his |
counsel had prevailed and,
Whereas, The said General Sheridan, in |
ms proposed plan OF operations, and as an |
excuse therefor, acted on false rumors and
statements of the condition and .
ahimus OF the white people Of the South
toward the Federal Government and its en-
citizens and tAen and there de-
nounced the people Of the South as Cham
ditti" and,
Whereas, This House, in approving the
action OF General Sheridan in this behalf,
ADDED, Tor partizan purposes and with a
knoWiedge that in so doing they SANDER
ed the people they falsely claimed to repre-
sent; and

SAID concurrent resolution is a libel upon
the citizens of our State, and disgrace to
the journals of this House,
