THIRD EDITION,


WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.--Mr. Johr
Sherman got upon his feet In the SEN
ate to-day and offered what he term
cd Q preamble and resolution. By
sctual count 1t contained thirteen
whereases and an equal number Of re-
solves. 1t started out with some re-
marks about the freedom of the ballot.
Then IL recited the particulars of the
riot In Danville just before the Novem-
Der election, in which Malone was UNI
horsed. Next 1t skipped down into
Copiah County, Mississippi, and told
Of an organized movement of one party
to prevent another party from voting.
The "meaps used for that purpose
were by lawless and organized mobs,
moving by night and by day, assaulting,
and, In some cases, killing lawful voters
with Wow, by terror and violence, to
deter others from voting" and "as .
part Of this general plan and conspiracy
one j. p. Matthews, q psaceable and
law-sbiding citizen Of Copiah County,
WAS warned not TO vote, and upon his
voting upon the day Of election was
murdered at the place of election by o
person selected for that purpose, and
with the approval, express or implied,
Of the officers of election, and no effort
was made to punish the murderer"
The resolution went on to tell how
this killing was approved ct public
meeting, at which meeting 1t was re-
solved "that from henceforth no man or
pet Of men shall organize the negro race
against tbs viii es in this county, and
If 1t shall be attempted in the future we
hereby give notice that it shall be at
the peril of the person or persons at
tempting 80 to do"
For all of this Mr.. Sherman thought
an investigation was needed, and he
wound up his series of resolutions with
one instructing the committee on privi-
leges and elections to make one and
suggest legislation. Mr.. Sherman asked
immediate consideration of the resolu-
ton. Under objection of Mr.. Cockrell
it went over until tomorrow and will
be printed. Mr.. Cockrell thought the
gentleman offering 1t might by TO.
morrow desire to add a few more
whereases to it.
