New Opreaxs, La., Dec. 12.—Aseaseination talk is loud and deep. It is heard on the streets, in the cars, sod in ol public places. It is fearod by the Democrais that the Returning Bourd will promulgate the returns from thoso parishes which have been canvassed without contest, and that the Board will declare their unwillingness to take tse responsibility of de- ciding THE CONTESTED CASES, ond turn tbe matter over to the Legislatare. This would be in accordanco with law and good £eneo, but the Legislature 80 copstituted would have a Republican majority, and the Democrats waat to get the orgamzation of that body them- gelves. Otherwiso their plens for ousting the present State administration would bo frustrated. A perfect fever of excitement cxists, although there are no open demonstrations.

Vicuspona, Miss., Dec. 12.—A large body of citizens to-day eet forth 3 statement of tho late difficulties. The siatement is signed by B. G. Humphregs, ex-Gove.nor; John A.

A. oficer K Murshall, D. D., ‘and other protnient citizens. Atter recounting that the Warren Couuty officials of 1873 ‘WERE NEARLY ALL NEGROES, the statement shows tha: T. W. Cordoza, Circuit Clex, was elecied State Supeiintendent of Ed- cation. Ames thercupon, contrary to expl._. law and the State Constitution, appointed A. W. Dorsey his sacees In Augu:i, 1874, upon affidavit of the e Auditor of Public Ac- counts, Dorsey was arrested for issuing false and forged cer:ificates. Dorsey was committed £0 jail, and rerigoed. Again the vacancy was filled by appointment by Ames, contrary to law, and the appoiniee still holds poesession of the office. An investigation of Doreey's frauds dis- covered that Cordoza was guilty of similer nfl'&msm _— sourge W.

Iv being discovered that a LARGE AMNOUNT OF FORGED WARBANTS were in circulation, Davenpoit was repestedly called npon to make a report to the Board of Su- ‘pervisors, and persistently refuged to do so. He Tefused the Committee of Tax-Pavers permicsion 1o examine the records, and, it may be added hero, atter bis flight, it was discoverad he had Do bond of record. At the November term ot the Circnit Court, Dorsey, Daveaport, and Cor- doza were indicted by the Grand Jury. compored of ten blacks and seven whites. During the in- Quiry iuto the offense, the books of the County reasurer and other valuable records bearing evidence of tho guilt of the parties were stolen. ther records used in the investigation, put in «chargo of Bherifl Croeby, weto also stolon. The Sheiiff is also tax-collector, and required fogivobond in §700.000. He gave s worthless oud. and when its worihlessnesa was brought to light tbe Beveral sureties withdrew, thus makiog the instrament illegal. Tho Supervisor's sutorney, a Republican, declared the bond ilegal, but the Bon::e'xelfined to order the $berifl to give a new was gene Flat the Board scted wider thy efenocrzt00d Eheriff, and indicted officials who were interested in keeping him in office. __In November the Sheriff published a card call- ingon the tax-payers to Day up, and saying he would hold the Sheriff’s: office until ousted by the Supreme Conrt. ~ IM THIS CONDITION OF AFFAIRS, ‘taxesamountiog to 5 per cent of the values were due. The Sheriff, to whom the taxes were pay. able, was insolvent aud bondiess.

THE ADDRESS CONCLUDES : *¢ Upon this record the people of Warren County are willing to receive the judgment of thecouu- try. From it they feel their fair-minded fellow- citizers everywhere must inevitably cooclude that for several years past our Couniy Govern- ment bas been in tho hands ot igoorant and corrupt officials, who, with one or two exceptions, have plundered the public Treasury and set the laws and rights of the geop!a at de- fiance ; that these officia's of laie bave been so bauded together as to effectvally deprive the people of the remedies provided by law for their protection, and secure for themselves com- parstive immuoity from panishment for their crimes ; that in their crusade agaivst the rights of the people, these officials have received tho countenznce and support of the Governor aud otbers high in authority in the State Govern- ment; that the Governor has himself in- vaded their rights in_ open violation of the tate laws and Constitution by assuming to fill, by Executive sppointmont, ad office made elective by the people; that allthese officials have been Republicans, and nearly all of them of the colored race, and that not oue has ever been molested in his office by reason of his politics or his color; thatour people have enduzed these evils in a spint of forbearance until for- bearance has ceased to be a virtue, ar.d they were impelled to resistauce by the instinct of eelf- preservation ; that they sssembled peaceablr, and, sa tho surest mesns of atiaining se- curity, demanded of these faithless stewards thet they resign the trusts con- fided to them; that, failing in _ this, they resorted to tho remedy by injunction in equity, 50 far as it was in its nature svaiable to their case ; that these peaceable measures on their part were met by a scheme of violeace and bloodshed, in which tae lives of themsolves and their families were imperiled, and tiey oblized to take arms in their defense; that in this scheme the officials were aided, counseled, and encouraged by the Governor of the State, and through his influeoce by other officers of the State Government, civil and military ; that the citizens of Vicksburg, in rosisting the aseanlt made upon their homes, captured a pumber of the se:ilamts, and arrested the Sneriff, who had incited them to this rjot, and out of Tespect to tho laws and regard for human Life no violence was done to any of them; that the Sheriff bas finally and freely resigned hiy office, and a new election has been ordered and peace and quiet restored in our county; that there is, therefors, po reason why the State should be subjected to the expense of an extra session of the Legislature to make Iaws for this county; that our peopls, iv the trying circum- stances in which they bave been placed, might well have doue more, and could not have done less, for the protection of themeelves, their fam- ilies, and their property.
