This  is  a  digital  copy  of  a  book  that  was  preserved  for  generations  on  library  shelves  before  it  was  carefully  scanned  by  Google  as  part  of  a  project 
to  make  the  world's  books  discoverable  online. 

It  has  survived  long  enough  for  the  copyright  to  expire  and  the  book  to  enter  the  public  domain.  A  public  domain  book  is  one  that  was  never  subject 
to  copyright  or  whose  legal  copyright  term  has  expired.  Whether  a  book  is  in  the  public  domain  may  vary  country  to  country.  Public  domain  books 
are  our  gateways  to  the  past,  representing  a  wealth  of  history,  culture  and  knowledge  that's  often  difficult  to  discover. 

Marks,  notations  and  other  marginalia  present  in  the  original  volume  will  appear  in  this  file  -  a  reminder  of  this  book's  long  journey  from  the 
publisher  to  a  library  and  finally  to  you. 

Usage  guidelines 

Google  is  proud  to  partner  with  libraries  to  digitize  public  domain  materials  and  make  them  widely  accessible.  Public  domain  books  belong  to  the 
public  and  we  are  merely  their  custodians.  Nevertheless,  this  work  is  expensive,  so  in  order  to  keep  providing  this  resource,  we  have  taken  steps  to 
prevent  abuse  by  commercial  parties,  including  placing  technical  restrictions  on  automated  querying. 

We  also  ask  that  you: 

+  Make  non-commercial  use  of  the  files  We  designed  Google  Book  Search  for  use  by  individuals,  and  we  request  that  you  use  these  files  for 
personal,  non-commercial  purposes. 

+  Refrain  from  automated  querying  Do  not  send  automated  queries  of  any  sort  to  Google's  system:  If  you  are  conducting  research  on  machine 
translation,  optical  character  recognition  or  other  areas  where  access  to  a  large  amount  of  text  is  helpful,  please  contact  us.  We  encourage  the 
use  of  public  domain  materials  for  these  purposes  and  may  be  able  to  help. 

+  Maintain  attribution  The  Google  "watermark"  you  see  on  each  file  is  essential  for  informing  people  about  this  project  and  helping  them  find 
additional  materials  through  Google  Book  Search.  Please  do  not  remove  it. 

+  Keep  it  legal  Whatever  your  use,  remember  that  you  are  responsible  for  ensuring  that  what  you  are  doing  is  legal.  Do  not  assume  that  just 
because  we  believe  a  book  is  in  the  public  domain  for  users  in  the  United  States,  that  the  work  is  also  in  the  public  domain  for  users  in  other 
countries.  Whether  a  book  is  still  in  copyright  varies  from  country  to  country,  and  we  can't  offer  guidance  on  whether  any  specific  use  of 
any  specific  book  is  allowed.  Please  do  not  assume  that  a  book's  appearance  in  Google  Book  Search  means  it  can  be  used  in  any  manner 
anywhere  in  the  world.  Copyright  infringement  liability  can  be  quite  severe.

FcUow-cltizens  of  the  Senate  and  House  of  Representatives : 

After  a  brief  interval  the  Congress  of  the  United  States  resumes  its  annual 
legislative  labors.  An  all-wise  and  merciful  Providence  has  abated  the  pesti- 
lence which  visited  our  shores,  leaving  its  calamitous  traces  up  n  some  portions 
of  our  country.  Peace,  order,  tranquillity,  and  civil  authority  have  been  formally 
declared  to  exist  throughout  the  whole  of  the  United  States.  In  all  of  the 
States  civil  authority  has  superseded  the  coercion  of  arms,  and  the  people,  by 
their  voluntary  action,  are  maintaining  their  governments  in  full  activity  and 
complete  operation     The  enforcement  of  the  laws  is  no  longer  "obstructed  in

any  State  by  combinations  too  powerful  to  be  suppressed  by  the  ordinary  course 
of  judicial  proceeding's:"  and  the  animosities  engendered  by  the  war  are  rapidly 
yielding  to  the  beneficent  influences  of  our  free  institutions,  and  to  the  kindly 
effects  of  unrestricted  social  and  commercial  intercourse.  An  entire  restoration 
of  fraternal  feeling  must  be  the  earnest  wish  of  every  patriotic  heart ;  and  we 
will  have  accomplished  our  grandest  national  achievement  when,  forgetting  the 
sad  events  of  the  past,  and  remembering  only  their  instructive  lessons,  we  resume 
our  onward  career  as  a  free,  prosperous,  and  united  people. 

In  my  message  of  the  4th  of  December,  1865,  Congress  was  informed  of  the 
measures  which  had  been  instituted  by  the  Executive  with  a  view  to  the  gradual 
restoration  of  the  States  in  which  the  insurrection  occurred  to  their  relations  with 
the  general  government.  Provisional  governors  had  been  appointed,  conventions 
called,  governors  elected,  legislatures  assembled,  and  senators  and  representa- 
tives chosen  to  the  Congress  of  the  United  States.  Courts  had  been  opened  for 
the  enforcement  of  laws  long  in  abeyance.  The  blockade  had  been  removed, 
custom-houses  re-established,  and  the  internal  revenue  laws  put  in  force,  in  order 
that  the  people  might  contribute  to  the  national  income.  Postal  operations  had  been 
renewed,  and  efforts  were  being  made  to  restore  them  to  their  former  condition 
of  efficiency.  The  States  themselves  had  been  asked  to  take  part  in  the  high 
function  of  amending  the  Constitution,  and  of  thus  sanctioning  the  extinction  of 
African  slavery  as  one  of  the  legitimate  results  of  our  internecine  struggle. 

Having  progressed  thus  far,  the  Executive  department  found  that  it  had  ac- 
complished nearly  all  that  was  within  the  scope  of  its  constitutional  authority. 
One  thing,  however,  yet  remained  to  be  done  before  the  work  of  restoration 
could  be  completed,  and  that  was  the  admission  to  Congress  of  loyal  senators 
and  representatives  from  the  States  whose  people  had  rebelled  against  the 
lawful  authority  of  the  general  government.  This  question  devolved  upon  the 
respective  houses,  which,  by  the  Constitution,  are  made  the  judges  of  the  elec- 
tions, returns,  and  qualifications  of  their  own  members  ;  and  its  consideration  at 
once  engaged  the  attention  of  Congress. 

In  the  mean  time  the  Executive  department — no  other  plan  having  been  pro- 
posed by  Congress— -continued  its  efforts  to  perfect,  as  far  as  was  practicaole, 
the  restoration  of  the  proper  relations  between  the  citizens  of  the  respective 
States,  the  States,  and  the  federal  government,  extending,  from  time  to  time,  as 
the  public  interests  seemed  to  require,  the  judicial,  revenue,  and  postal  systems 
of  the  country.  With  the  advice  and  consent  of  the  Senate,  the  necessary 
officers  were  appointed,  and  appropriations  made  by  Congress  for  the  payment 
of  their  salaries.  The  proposition  to  amend  the  federal  Constitution,  so  as  to 
prevent  the  existence  of  slavery  within  the  United  States  or  any  place  subject 
to  their  jurisdiction,  was  ratified  by  the  requisite  number  of  States;  and  on  the 
18th  day  of  December,  186/5,  it  was  officially  declared  to  have  become  valid  as  a 
part  of  the  Constitution  of  the  United  States.  All  of  the  States  in  which  the 
insurrection  had  existed  promptly  amended  their  constitutions,  so  as  to  make  them 
conform  to  the  great  change  thus  effected  in  the  organic  law  of  the  land ;  declared 
null  and  void  all  ordinances  and  laws  of  secession  ;  repudiated  all  pretended  debts 
and  obligations  created  for  the  revolutionary  purposes  of  the  insurrection  ;  and 
proceeded,  in  good  faith,  to  the  enactment  of  measures  for  the  protection  and 
amelioration  of  the  condition  of  the  colored  race.  Congress,  however,  yet 
hesitated  to  admit  any  of  these  States  to  representation ;  and  it  was  not  until 
towards  the  close  of  the  eighth  month  of  the  session  that  an  exception  was  made 
in  favor  of  Tennessee,  by  the  admission  of  her  senators  and  representatives. 

I  deem  it  a  subject  of  profound  regret  that  Congress  has  thus  far  failed  to  ad- 
mit to  seats  loyal  senators  and  representatives  from  the  other  States,  whose  in- 
habitants, with  those  of  Tennessee,  had  engaged  in  the  rebellion.  Ten  States — 
more  than  one-fourth  of  the  whole  number — remain  without  representation  ;  the 
seats  of  fifty  members  in  the  House  of  Representatives  and  of  twenty  members

in  the  Senate  are  yet  vacant — not  by  their  own  consent,  not  by  a  failure  of  elec- 
tion, but  by  the  refusal  of  Congress  to  accept  their  credentials.  Their  admission, 
it  is  believed,  would  have  accomplished  much  towards  the  renewal  and  strength- 
ening of  our  relations  as  one  people,  and  removed  serious  cause  for  discontent 
on  the  part  of  the  inhabitants  of  those  States.  It  would  have  accorded  with  the 
great  principle  enunciated  in  the  declaration  of  American  independence,  that 
no  people  ought  to  bear  the  burden  of  taxation,  and  yet  be  denied  the  right 
of  representation.  It  would  have  been  in  consonance  with  the  express  provi- 
sions of  the  Constitution,  that  "  each  State  shall  have  at  least  one  Representa- 
tive," and  **  that  no  State,  without  its  consent,  shall  be  deprived  of  its  equal 
suffrage  in  the  Senate."  These  provisions  were  intended  to  secure  to  every 
State,  and  to  the  people  of  every  State,  the  right  of  representation  in  each  house 
of  Congress ;  and  so  important  was  it  deemed  by  the  framors  of  the  Constitution 
that  the  equality  of  the  States  in  the  Senate  should  be  preberved,  that  not  even 
by  an  amendment  of  the  Constitution  can  any  State,  without  its  consent,  be  de- 
nied a  voice  in  that  branch  of  the  national  legislature. 

It  is  true,  it  has  been  assumed  that  the  existence  of  the  States  was  termi- 
nated by  the  rebellious  acts  of  their  inhabitants,  and  that  the  insurrection  having 
been  suppressed,  they  were  thenceforward  to  be  considered  merely  as  conquered 
territories.  The  legislative,  executive,  and  judicial  departments  of  the  govern- 
ment have,  however,  with  great  distinctness  and  uniform  consistency,  refused  to 
sanction  an  assumption  so  incompatible  with  the  nature  of  our  republican  system 
and  with  the  professed  objects  of  the  war.  Throughout  the  recent  legislation  of 
Congress  the  undeniable  fact  makes  itself  apparent,  that  these  ten  political 
communities  are  nothing  less  than  States  of  this  Union.  At  the  very  commence- 
ment of  the  rebellion  each  house  declared,  with  a  unanimity  as  remarkable  as 
it  was  significant,  that  the  war  was  not  "  waged,  upon  our  part,  in  any  spirit  of 
oppression,  nor  for  any  purpose  of  conquest  or  subjugation,  nor  purpose  of  over- 
throwing or  interfering  with  the  rights  or  established  institutions  of  those  States, 
but  to  defend  and  maintain  the  supremacy  of  the  Constitution  and  all  laws  made 
in  pursuance  thereof,  and  to  preserve  the  Union,  with  all  the  dignity,  equality, 
aid  rights  of  the  several  States  unimpaired  ;  and  that  as  soon  as  these  objects" 
W(  re  "  accomplished  the  war  ought  to  cease."  In  some  instances  senators  were 
pe.  mitted  to  continue  their  legislative  functions,  while  in  other  instances  repre- 
scL  atives  were  elected  and  admitted  to  seats  after  their  States  had  formally  de- 
clared their  right  to  withdraw  from  the  Union,  and  were  endeavoring  to  main- 
tain that  right  by  force  of  arms.  All  of  the  States  whose  people  were  in 
insurrection,  as  States,  were  included  in  the  apportionment  of  the  direct 
tax  of  twenty  millions  of  dollars  annually  laid  upon  the  United  States 
by  the  act  approved  5th  August,  1861.  Congress,  by  the  act  of  March  4, 
1862,  and  by  the  apportionment  of  representation  thereunder,  also  recog- 
nized their  presence  as  States  in  the  Union ;  and  they  have,  for  judicial 
purposes,  been  divided  into  districts,  as  States  alone  can  be  divided.  The  same 
recognition  appears  in  the  recent  legislation  in  reference  to  Tennessee,  which 
evidently  rests  upon  the  fact  that  the  functions  of  the  State  were  not  destroyed 
by  the  rebellion,  nut  merely  suspended;  and  that  principle,  is  of  course,  applica- 
ble to  those  States  which,  like  Tennessee,  attempted  to  renounce  their  places  in 
the  Union. 

The  action  of  the  Executive  department  of  the  government  upon  this  subject 
has  been  eaually  definite  a  ad  uniform,  and  the  purpose  of  the  war  was  specifi- 
cally stated  in  the  proclamation  issued  by  my  predecessor  on  the  22d  day  of 
September,  1862.  It  was  then  solemnly  proclaimed  and  declared  that  "here- 
after, as  heretofore,  the  war  will  be  prosecuted  for  the  object  of  practically 
restoring  the  constitutional  relation  between  the  United  States  and  each  of  the 
States  and  the  people  thereof,  in  which  States  that  relation  is  or  may  be  sus- 
pended or  disturbed." 


Dec,  3,  1866.]         HOUSE  OF  REPRESENTATIVES.  15 

The  recognition  of  the  States  by  the  judicial  department  of  the  government 
has  also  been  clear  and  conclusive  in  all  proceedings  affecting  them  as  States, 
had  in  the  Supreme,  circuit,  and  district  courts. 

lu  the  admission  of  senators  and  representatives  from  any  and  all  of  the 
States  there  can  be  no  just  ground  of  apprehension  that  persons  who  are  dis- 
loyal will  be  clothed  with  the  powers  of  legislation,  for  this  could  not  happen 
when  the  Constitution  and  the  laws  are  enforced  by  a  vigilant  and  faithful  Con- 
gress. Each  house  is  made  the  "judge  of  the  elections,  returns,  and  qualifica- 
tions of  its  own  members,"  and  may,  **  with  the  concurrence  of  two-thirds,  expel 
a  member."  When  a  senator  or  representative  presents  his  certificate  of  election, 
he  may  at  once  be  admitted  or  rejected ;  or,  should  there  be  any  question  as  to 
his  eligibility,  hU  credentials  may  be  referred  for  investigation  to  the  appropriate 
committee.  If  admitted  to  a  seat,  it  must  be  upon  evidence  satisfactory  to  the 
house  of  which  he  thus  becomes  a  member  that  he  possesses  the  requisite  con- 
stitutional and  legal  qualifications.  If  refused  admission  as  a  member  for  want 
of  due  allegiance  to  the  government,  and  returned  to  his  constituents,  they  are 
admonished  that  none  but  persons  loyal  to  the  United  States  will  be  allowed  a 
voice  iu  the  legislative  councils  of  the  nation,  and  the  political  power  and  moral 
influence  of  Congress  are  thus  effectively  exerted  in  the  interests  of  loyalty  to 
the  government  and  fidelity  to  the  Union.  Upon  this  question,  so  vitally  affect- 
ing the  restoration  of  the  Union  and  the  permanency  of  our  present  form  of  gov- 
ernment, my  convictions,  heretofore  expressed,  have  undergone  no  change ;  but, 
on  the  contrary,  their  correctness  has  been  confirmed  by  reflection  and  time.  If 
the  admission  of  loyal  members  to  seats  in  the  respective  houses  of  Congress 
was  wise  and  expedient  a  year  ago,  it  is  no  less  wise  and  expedient  now.  If 
this  anomalous  condition  is  right  now — if,  in  the  exact  condition  of  these  States 
at  the  present  time,  it  is  lawful  to  exclude  them  from  representation — I  do  not  see 
that  the  question  will  be  changed  by  the  efflux  of  time.  Ten  years  hence,  if 
these  States  remain  as  they  are,  the  right  of  representation  will  be  no  stronger — 
the  right  of  exclusion  will  be  no  weaker. 

The  Constitution  of  the  United  States  makes  it  the  duty  of  the  President  to 
recommend  to  the  consideration  of  Congress  "  such  measures  as  he  shall  judge 
necessary  or  expedient."     I  know  of  no  measure  more  imperatively  demanded 
by  every  consideration  of  national  interest,  sound  policy,  and  equal  justice  than 
the  admission  of  loyal  members  from  the  now  unrepresented  States.     This  would 
consummate  the  work  of  restoration,  and  exert  a  most  salutary  influence  in  the 
re  establishment  of  peace,  harmony,  and  fraternal  feeling.    It  would  tend  greatly 
to  renew  the  confidence  of  the  American  people  in  the  vigor  and  stability  of  their 
institntions.     It  would  bind  us  more  closely  together  as  a  nation,  and  enable 
us  to  show  to  the  world  the  inherent  and  recuperative  power  of  a  government 
founded  upon  the  will  of  the  people,  and  establisned  upon  the  principles  of  liberty, 
justice,  and  intelligence.     Our  increased  strength  and  enhanced  prosperity  would 
irrefragably  demonstrate  the  fallacy  of  the  arguments  against  free  institutions 
drawn  from  our  recent  national  disorders  by  the  enemies  of  republican  govern- 
ment.    The  admission  of  loyal  members  from  the  States  now  excluded  from 
Congress,  by  allaying  doubt  and  apprehension,  would  turn  capital,  now  awaiting 
an  opportunity  for  investment,  into  the  channels  of  trade  and  industry.     It  would 
alleviate  the  presentr  troubled  condition  of  those  States,  and,  by  inducing  emi- 
gration, aid  in  the  settlement  of  fertile  regions  now  uncultivated,  and  lead  to  an 
increased  production  of  those  staples  which  have  added  so  greatly  to  the  wealth 
of  the  nation  and  commerce  of  the  world.     New  fields  of  enterprise  would  be 
opened  to  our  progressive  people,  and  soon  the  devastations  of  war  would  be  re- 
paired, and  all  traces  of  our  domestic  differences  effaced  from  the  minds  of  our 
countrymen. 

In  our  efforts  to  preserve  "  the  unity  of  government  which  constitutes  us  one 
people,"  by  restoring  the  States  to  the  condition  which  they  held  prior  to  the

rebellion,  we  should  be  cautious,  lest,  having  rescued  our  nation  from  perils  of 
threatened  disintegration,  we  resort  to  consolidation,  and  in  the  end  absolute  des- 
potism, as  a  remedy  for  the  recurrence  of  similar  troubles.  The  war  having 
terminated,  and  with  it  all  occasion  for  the  exercise  of  powers  of  doubtful  con- 
stitutionality, we  should  hasten  to  bring  legislation  within  the  boundaries  pre- 
scribed by  the  Constitution,  and  to  return  to  the  ancient  landmarks  established 
by  our  fathers  for  the  guidance  of  succeeding  generations.  "  The  Constitution 
which  at  any  time  exists,  until  changed  by  an  explicit  and  authentic  act  of  the 
whole  people,  is  sacredly  obligatory  upon  all.**  **  If,  in  the  opinion  of  the  peo- 
ple, the  distribution  or  modification  of  the  constitutional  powers  be,  in  any 
particular,  wrong,  let  it  be  corrected  by  an  amendment  in  the  way  in  which  the 
Constitution  designates.  But  let  there  be  no  change  by  usurpation  ;  for**  *'it 
is  the  customary  weapon  by  which  free  governments  are  destroyed.*'  Wash- 
ington spoke  these  words  to  his  countrymen,  when,  followed  by  their  love 
and  gratitude,  he  voluntarily  retired  from  the  can  s  of  public  life.  "  To 
keep  in  all  things  within  the  pale  of  our  constitutional  powers,  and  cherish 
the  federal  Union  as  the  only  rock  of  safety,"  were  prescribed  by  Jeffer- 
son as  rules  of  action  to  endear  to  his  "  countrymen  the  true  principles  of 
their  Constitution,  and  promote  a  union  of  sentiment  and  action  equally  au- 
Bpicious  to  their  happiness  and  safety.**  Jackson  held  that  the  action  of  the 
general  goveniment  should  always  be  strictly  confined  to  the  sphere  of  its  ap- 
propriate duties,  and  justly  and  forcibly  urged  that  our  government  is  not  to  be 
maintained  nor  our  tlnion  preserved  "by  invasions  of  the  rights  and  powers 
of  the  several  States.  In  thus  attempting  to  make  our  general  government 
strong,  we  make  it  weak.  Its  true  strength  consists  in  leaving  individuals  and 
States  as  much  as  possible  to  themselves;  in  making  itself  felt,  not  in  its  power, 
but  in  its  beneficence ;  not  in  its  control,  but  in  its  protection  ;  not  in  binding 
the  States  more  closely  to  the  centre,  but  leaving  each  to  move  unobstructed  in 
its  proper  constitutional  orbit.**  These  p.re  the  teachings  of  men  whose  deeds 
and  services  have  made  them  illustrious,  and  who,  long  since  withdrawn  from 
the  scenes  of  life,  have  left  to  their  country  the  rich  legacy  of  their  example, 
their  wisdom,  and  their  patriotism.  Drawing  fresh  inspiration  from  their  lessons, 
let  us  emulate  them  in  love  of  country  and  respect  for  the  Constitution  and  the 
laws. 

The  report  of  the  Secretary  of  the  Treasury  affords  much  information  re- 
specting the  revenue  and  commerce  of  the  country.  His  views  upon  the  cur- 
rency, and  with  reference  to  a  proper  adjustment  of  our  revenue  system,  inter- 
nal as  well  as  imf)ost,  are  commended  to  the  careful  consideration  of  Congress. 
In  my  last  annual  message  I  expressed  my  general  views  upon  these  subjects.  I 
need  now  only  call  attention  to  the  necessity  of  carrying  into  every  department 
of  the  government  a  system  of  rigid  accountability,  thorough  retrenchment,  and 
wise  economy.  With  no  exceptional  nor  unusual  expenditures,  the  oppressive 
burdens  of  taxation  can  be  lessened  by  such  a  modification  of  our  revenue  laws 
as  will  be  consistent  with  the  public  faith  and  the  legitimate  and  necessary 
wants  of  the  government. 

The  report  presents  a  much  more  satisfactory  condition  of  our  finances  than 
one  year  ago  the  most  sanguine  could  have  anticipated.  During  the  fiscal  year 
ending  the  30th  June,  1865,  the  last  year  of  the  war,  the  public  debt  was  in- 
increased  $941,902,537,  and  on  the  31st  of  October,  1865,  it  amounted  to 
82,740,854,750.  On  the  31st  day  of  October,  1866,  it  had  been  reduced  to 
$2,551,310,006,  the  diminution,  during  a  period  of  fourteen  months,  commenc 
ing  September  1, 1865,  and  ending  October  31,  1866,  having  been  $206,379,565. 
In  the  last  annual  report  on  the  state  of  the  finances  it  was  estimated  that  dur- 
ing the  three  quarters  of  the  fiscal  year  ending  the  30th  of  June  last,  the  debt 
would  be  increased  8112,194,947.  During  that  period,  however,  it  was  re- 
duced $31,196,357,  the  receipts  of  tire  year  having  been  $89,905,905  more,  and

tlie  expenditures  $200,529,235  less  than  the  estimates.  Nothing  could  more 
clearly  indicate  than  these  statements  the  extent  and  availability  of*  the  national 
resources,  and  the  rapidity  and  safety  with  which,  under  our  form  of  govern- 
ment, great  military  and  naval  establishments  can  be  disbanded,  and  expenses 
reduced  from  a  war  to  a  peace  footing. 

During  the  fiscal  year  ending  June  30, 1866,  the  receipts  were  $558,032,620,  and 
the  expenditures  $520,750,940,  leaving  an  available  surplus  of  $37,281,680.  It  is 
estimated  that  the  receipts  for  the  fiscal  year  ending  the  30th  June,  1867,  will  be 
$475,061,386,  and  that  the  expenditures  will  reach  the  sum  of  $316,428,078, 
leaving  in  the  treasury  a  surplus  of  $158,633,308.  For  the  fiscal  year  ending 
June  30,  1868,  it  is  estimated  that  the  receipts  will  amount  to  $436,000,000,  and 
that  the  expenditures  will  be  $350,247,641 — showing  an  excess  of  $85,752,359 
in  favor  of  the  government.  These  estimated  receipts  may  be  diminished  by  a 
reduction  of  excise  and  import  duties  ;  but  after  all  necessary  reductions  shall 
have  been  made,  the  revenue  of  the  present  and  of  following  years  will  doubtless 
be  sufficient  to  cover  all  legitimate  charges  upon  the  treasury,  and  leave  a  large 
annual  surplus  to  be  applied  to  the  payment  of  the  principal  of  the  debt.  There 
seems  now  to  be  no  good  reason  why  taxes  may  not  be  reduced  as  the  country 
advances  in  population  and  wealth,  and  yet  the  debt  be  extinguished  within  the 
next  quarter  of  a  century. 

The  report  of  the  Secretary  of  War  furnishes  valuable  and  important  inform- 
ation in  reference  to  the  operations  of  his  department  during  the  past  year. 
Few  volunteers  now  remain  in  the  service,  and  they  are  being  discharged  as 
rapidly  as  they  can  be  replaced  by  regular  troops.  The  army  has  been  promptly 
paid,  carefully  provided  with  medical  treatment,  well  sheltered  and  subsisted, 
and  is  to  be  furnished  with  breech-loading  small-arms.  The  military  strength 
of  the  nation  has  been  unimpaired  by  the  discharge  of  volunteers,  the  disposi- 
tion of  unserviceable  or  perishable  stores,  and  the  retrenchment  of  expenditure. 
Sufficient  war  material  to  meet  any  emergency  has  been  retained,  and,  from  the 
disbanded  volunteers  standing  ready  to  respond  to  the  national  call,  large  armies 
can  be  rapidly  organized,  equipped,  and  concentrated.  Fortifications  on  the 
cf^ast  and  frontier  have  received,  or  are  being  prepared  for,  more  powerful  arma- 
ments ;  lake  surveys  and  harbor  and  river  improvements  are  in  course  of 
energetic  prosecution.  Preparations  have  been  made  for  the  payment  of  the 
additional  bounties  authorized  during  the  recent  session  of  Congress,  under 
such  regulations  as  will  protect  the  government  from  fraud,  and  secure  to  the 
honorably  discharged  soldier  the  well-earned  reward  of  his  faithfulness  and  gal- 
lantry. More  than  six  thousand  maimed  soldiers  have  received  artificial  limbs  or 
other  surgical  appai*atus ;  and  forty-one  national  cemeteries,  containing  the  re- 
mains of  104,526  Union  soldiers,  have  already  been  established.  The  total 
estimate  of  military  appropriations  is  $25,205,669. 

It  is  stated  in  the  report  of  the  Secretary  of  the  Navy  that  the  naval  force  at 
this  time  consists  of  two  hundred  and  seventy-eight  vessels,  armed  with  two 
thousand  three  hundred  and  fifty -one  guns.  Of  these,  one  hundred  and  fifteen 
vessels,  carrying  one  thousand  and  twenty-nine  guns,  are  in  commission,  distrib- 
uted chiefly  among  seven  squadrons.  The  number  of  men  in  the  service  is  thir- 
teen thousand  six  hundred.  Great  activity  and  vigilance  have  been  displayed 
by  all  the  squadrons,  and  their  movements  have  been  judiciously  and  efficiently 
arranged  in  such  manner  as  would  best  promote  American  commerce,  and  pro- 
tect the  rights  and  interests  of  our  countrymen  abroad.  The  vessels  unemployed 
are  undergoing  repairs,  or  are  laid  up  until  their  services  may  be  required.  Most 
of  tlie  iron-clad  fleet  is  at  League  island,  in  the  vicinity  of  Philadelphia,  a  place 
which,  until  decisive  action  should  be  taken  by  Congress,  was  selected  by 
the  Secretary  of  the  Navy  as  the  most  eligible  location  for  that  class  of  vessels. 
It  is  important  that  a  suitable  public  station  should  be  provided  for  the  iron-clad

emergency,  and  it  is  desirable  that  the  bill  accepting  League  island  for  naval 
purposes,  which  passed  the  House  of  Representatives  at  its  last  session,  should 
receive  final  action  at  an  early  period,  in  order  that  there  may  be  a  suitable  pub- 
lic station  for  this  class  of  vessels,  as  well  as  a  navy  yard  of  area  sufficient  for 
the  wants  of  the  service  on  the  Delaware  river.  The  naval  pension  fund 
amounts  to  $11,750,000,  having  been  increased  $2,750,000  during  the  year. 
The  expenditures  of  the  department  for  the  fiscal  year  ending  30th  June  last 
were  843,324,526,  and  the  estimates  for  the  coming  year  amount  to  $23,568,436. 
Attention  is  invited  to  the  condition  of  our  seamen,  and  the  importance  of  legis- 
lative measures  for  their  relief  and  improvement.  The  suggestions  in  behalf  of 
this  deserving  class  of  our  fellow-citizens  are  earnestly  recommended  to  the 
favorable  attention  of  Congress. 

The  report  of  the  Postmaster  General  presents  a  most  satisfactory  condition 
of  the  postal  service,  and  submits  recommendations  which  deserve  the  consid- 
eration of  Congress.  The  revenues  of  the  department  for  the  year  ending  June 
30,  1866,  were  $14,386,986,  and  the  expenditures  $15,352,079,  showing  an 
excess  of  the  latter  of  $965,093.  In  anticipation  of  this  deficiency,  however,  a 
special  appropriation  was  made  by  Congress  in  the  act  approved  July  28, 1866 
Including  the  standing  appropriation  of  $700,000  for  free  mail  matter,  as  a 
legitimate  portion  of  the  revenues  yet  remaining  unexpended,  the  actual  defi- 
ciency for  the  past  year  is  only  $265,093 — a  sum  within  $51,141  of  the  amount 
estimated  in  the  annual  report  of  1864.  The  decrease  of  revenue  compared  with 
the  previous  year  was  one  and  one-fifth  per  cent.,  and  the  increase  of  expendi- 
tures, owing  principally  to  the  enlargement  of  the  mail  service  in  the  south, 
was  twelve  per  cent.  On  the  30th  of  June  last  there  were  in  operation  six 
thousand  nine  hundred  and  thirty  mail  routes,  with  an  aggregate  length  of  one 
hundred  and  eighty  thousand  nine  hundred  and  twenty -one  miles,  an  aggre- 
gate annual  transportation  of  seventy-one  million  eight  hundred  and  thirty- 
seven  thousand  nine  hundred  and  fourteen  miles,  and  an  aggregate  annual 
cost,  including  all  expenditures,  of  $8,410,184.  The  length  of  railroad  routes 
is  thirty-two  thousand  and  ninety-two  miles,  and  the  annual  transportation 
thirty  million  six  hundred  and  nine  thousand  four  hundred  and  sixty-seven 
miles.  The  length  of  steamboat  routes  is  fourteen  thousand  three  hundred  and 
forty-six  miles,  and  the  annual  transportation  three  million  four  hundred  and 
eleven  thousand  nine  hundred  and  sixty-two  miles.  The  mail  service  is  rapidly 
increasing  throughout  the  whole  country,  and  its  steady  extension  in  the  southern 
States  indicates  their  constantly  improving  condition.  The  growing  importance 
of  the  foreign  service  also  merits  attention.  The  post  office  department  of 
Great  Britain  and  our  own  have  agreed  upon  a  preliminary  basis  for  anew  postal 
convention,  which  it  is  believed  will  prove  eminently  beneficial  to  the  commer- 
cial interests  of  the  United  States,  inasmuch  as  it  contemplates  a  reduction  of 
the  international  letter  postage  to  one-half  the  existing  rates ;  a  reduction  of 
postage  with  all  other  countries  to  and  from  which  correspondence  is  transmitted 
in  the  British  mail,  or  in  closed  mails  through  the  United  Kingdom ;  the  establish- 
ment of  uniform  and  reasonable  charges  for  the  sea  and  terrritorial  transit  of  cor- 
respondence in  closed  mails ;  and  an  allowance  to  each  post  office  department 
of  the  right  to  use  all  mail  communications  established  under  the  authority  of 
the  other  for  the  despatch  of  correspondence,  either  in  open  or  closed  mails,  on 
the  same  terms  as  those  applicable  to  the  inhabitants  of  the  country  providing 
the  means  of  transmission. 

The  report  of  the  Secretary  of  the  Interior  exhibits  the  condition  of  those 
branches  of  the  public  service  which  are  committed  to  his  supervision.  During 
the  last  fiscal  year  four  million  six  hundred  and  twenty-nine  thousand  three 
hundred  and  twelve  acres  of  public  land  were  disposed  of,  one  million  eight  hun- 
dred and  ninety-two  thousand  five  hundred  and  sixteen  acres  of  which  were  en- 
tered under  the  homestead  act.     The  policy  originally  adopted  relative  to  the 


Dec.  3,  1866.]         HOUSE  OF  REPRESENTATIVES.  19 

public  landji  has  undergone  essential  modifications.  Immediate  revenue,  and 
not  their  rapid  settlement,  was  the  cardinal  feature  of  our  land  system.  Long 
experience  and  earnest  discussion  have  resulted  in  the  conviction  that  the 
early  development  of  our  agricultural  resources,  and  the  diffusion  of  an 
energetic  population  over  our  vast  territory,  are  objects  of  far  greater 
importance  to  the  national  growth  and  prosperity  than  the  proceeds  of  the 
sale  of  the  land  to  the  highest  bidder  in  open  market.  The  pre-emption  laws 
confer  upon  the  pioneer  who  complies  with  the  terms  they  impose  the  privilege 
of  purchasing  a  limited  portion  of  "  unoffered  lands  "  at  the  minimum  price. 
The  homestead  enactments  relieve  the  settler  from  the  payment  of  purchase 
money,  and  secure  him  a  permanent  home,  upon  the  condition  of  residence  for  a 
term  of  years.  This  liberal  policy  invites  emigration  from  the  Old,  and  from  the 
more  crowded  portions  of  the  New  World.  Its  propitious  results  are  undoubted, 
and  will  be  more  signally  manifested  when  time  shall  have  given  to  it  a  wider 
development. 

Congress  has  made  liberal  grants  of  public  land  to  corporations,  in  aid  of  the 
construction  of  railroads  and  other  internal  improvements.  Should  this  policy 
hereafter  prevail,  more  stringent  provisions  will  be  required  to  secure  a  faithful 
application  of  the  fund.  The  title  to  the  lands  should  not  pass,  by  patent 
or  otherwise,  but  remain  in  the  government  and  subject  to  its  control  until 
some  portion  of  the  road  has  been  actually  built.  Portions  of  them  might  then, 
from  time  to  time,  be  conveyed  to  the  corporation,  but  never  in  a  greater  ratio  to 
the  whole  quantity  embraced  by  the  grant  than  the  completed  parts'  bear  to  the 
entire  length  of  the  projected  improvement.  This  restriction  would  not  ope- 
rate to  the  prejudice  of  any  undertaking  conceived  in  good  faith  and  executed 
with  reasonable  energy,  as  it  is  the  settled  practice  to  withdraw  from  market 
the  lands  falling  within  the  operation  of  such  grants,  and  thus  to  exclude  the 
inception  of  a  subsequent  adverse  right.  A  breach  of  the  conditions  which 
Gongi-ess  may  deem  proper  to  impose  should  work  a  forfeiture  of  claim  to  the 
lands  80  withdrawn  but  unconveyed,  and  of  title  to  the  lands  conveyed  which 
remain  unsold. 

Operations  on  the  several  lines  of  the  Pacific  railroad  have  been  prosecuted 
with  unexampled  vigor  and  success.  Should  no  unforeseen  causes  of  delay  occur, 
it  is  confidently  anticipated  that  this  great  thoroughfare  will  be  completed  be- 
fore the  expiration  of  the  period  designated  by  Congress. 

During  the  last  fiscal  year  the  amount  paid  to  pensioners,  including  the  ex- 
penses of  disbursement,  was  thirteen  million  four  hundred  and  fifty-nine  thou- 
sand nine  hundred  and  ninety-six  dollars  ;  and  fifty  thousand  one  hundred  and 
seventy-seven  names  were  added  to  the  pension  rolls.  The  entire  number  of 
pensioners  June  30,  1866,  was  one  hundred  and  twenty- six  thousand  seven 
hundred  and  twenty- two.  This  fact  furnishes  melancholy  and  striking  proof 
of  the  sacrifices  made  to  vindicate  the  constitutional  authority  of  the  federal 
government,  and  to  maintain  inviolate  the  integrity  of  the  Union.  They  impose 
upon  us  corresponding  obligations.  It  is  estimated  that  thirty-three  million 
dollars  will  bo  required  to  meet  the  exigencies  of  this  branch  of  the  service 
during  the  next  fiscal  year. 

Treaties  have  been  concluded  with  the  Indians,  who,  enticed  into  armed 
opposition  to  our  government  at  the  outbreak  of  the  rebellion,  have  uncondi- 
tionally submitted  to  our  authority,  and  manifested  an  earnest  desire  for  a 
renewal  of  friendly  relations. 

Daring  the  year  ending  September  30,  1866,  eight  thousand  seven  hundred 
and  sixteen  patents  for  useful  inventions  and  designs  were  issued,  and  at  that 
date  the  balance  in  the  treasury  to  the  credit  of  the  patent  fund  was  two  hun- 
dred and  twenty-eight  thousand  two  hundred  and  ninety-seven  dollars. 

As  a  subject  upon  which  depends  an  immense  amount  of  the  production  and 
commerce  of  the  country,  I  recommend  to  Congress  such  legislation  as  may  be 


20  JOURNAL  OF  THE  [Dec.  3,  1866. 

necessary  for  the  preservation  of  the  levees  of  the  Mississippi  river.  It  is  a 
matter  of  national  importance  that  early  steps  should  be  taken  not  only  to  add 
to  the  eflSciency  of  these  barriers  against  destructive  inundations,  but  for  the 
removal  of  all  obstructions  to  the  free  and  safe  navigation  of  that  great  channel 
of  trade  and  commerce. 

The  District  of  Columbia,  under  existing  laws,  is  not  entitled  to  that  represent- 
ation in  the  national  councils  which  from  our  earliest  history  has  been  uniformly 
accorded  to  each  Territory  established  from  time  to  time  within  our  limits.  It 
maintains  peculiar  relations  to  Congress,  to  whom  the  Constitution  has  granted 
the  power  of  exercising  exclusive  legislation  over  the  seat  of  government.  Our 
fellow-citizens  residing  in  the  District,  whose  interests  are  thus  confided  to  the 
special  guardianship  of  Congress,  exceed  in  number  the  population  of  several 
of  our  Territories,  and  no  just  reason  is  perceived  why  a  delegate  of  their 
choice  should  not  be  admitted  to  a  seat  in  the  House  of  Representatives.  No 
mode  seems  so  appropriate  and  effectual  of  enabling  them  to  make  known  their 
peculiar  condition  and  wants,  and  of  securing  the  local  legislation  adapted  to 
them.  I  f/herefore  recommend  the  passage  of  a  law  authorizing  the  electors  of 
the  District  of  Columbia  to  choose  a  delegate,  to  be  allowed  the  same  rights 
and  privileges  as  a  delegate  representing  a  Territory.  The  increasing  enter- 
prise and  rapid  progress  of  improvement  in  the  District  are  highly  gratifying, 
and  I  trust  that  the  efforts  of  the  municipal  authorities  to  promote  the  prosperity 
of  the  national  metropolis  will  receive  the  efficient  and  generous  co-operation  of 
*  Congress. 

The  report  of  the  Commissioner  of  Agriculture  reviews  the  operations  of  his 
department  during  the  past  year,  and  asks  the  aid  of  Congress  in  its  efforts  to 
encourage  those  States  which,  scourged  by  war,  are  now  earnestly  engaged  in 
the  reorganization  of  domestic  industry. 

It  is  a  subject  of  congratulation  that  no  foreign  combinations  against  our 
domestic  peace  and  safety,  or  our  legitimate  influence  among  the  nations,  have 
been  formed  or  attempted.  While  sentiments  of  reconciliation,  loyalty,  and 
patriotism  have  increased  at  home,  a  more  just  consideration  of  our  national 
character  and  rights  has  been  manifested  by  foreign  nations. 

The  entire  success  of  the  Atlantic  telegraph  between  the  coast  of  Ireland 
and  the  province  of  Newfoundland  is  an  achievement  which  has  been  justly 
celebrated  in  both  hemispheres  as  the  opening  of  an  era  in  the  progress  of  civil- 
ization. There  is  reason  to  expect  that  equal  success  will  attend,  and  even 
greater  results  follow,  the  enterprise  for  connecting  the  two  continents  through 
the  Pacific  ocean  by  the  projected  line  of  telegraph  between  Kamschatka  and 
the  Russian  possessions  iu  America. 

The  resolution  of  Congress  protesting  against  pardons  by  foreign  governments 
of  persons  convicted  of  infamous  offences,  on  condition  of  emigration  to  our 
country,  has  been  communicated  to  the  states  with  which  we  maintain  intercourse, 
and  the  practice,  so  justly  the  subject  of  complaint  on  our  part,  has  not  been 
renewed. 

The  congratulations  of  Congress  to  the  Emperor  of  Russia,  upon  his  escape 
from  attempted  assassination,  have  been  presented  to  that  humane  and  enlightened 
ruler,  and  received  by  him  with  expressions  of  grateful  appreciation. 

The  Executive,  warned  of  an  attempt  by  Spanish-American  adventurers  to 
induce  the  emigration  of  freedmen  of  the  United  States  to  a  foreign  country, 
protested  against  the  project  as  one  which,  if  consummated,  would  reduce  them  to 
a  bondage  even  more  oppressive  than  that  from  which  they  have  just  been  re- 
lieved. Assurance  has  been  received  from  the  government  of  the  state  in  which 
the  plan  was  matured,  that  the  proceeding  will  meet  neither  its  encouragement 
nor  approval.  It  is  a  question  worthy  of  your  consideration,  whether  our  laws 
upon  tnis  subject  are  adequate  to  the  prevention  or  punishment  of  the  crime 
thus  meditated. 


Dec.  3,  186G.J  HOUSE  OF  REPRESENTATIVES.  21 

In  the  month  of  April  last,  as  Congress  is  aware,  a  friendly  arrangement  was 
made  between  the  Emperor  of  France  and  the  President  of  the  United  States 
for  the  withdrawal  from  Mexico  of  the  French  expeditionary  military  forces. 
This  withdrawal  was  to  be  effected  in  three  detachments,  the  first  of  which,  it 
was  understood,  would  leave  Mexico  in  November,  now  past,  the  second  in 
March  next,  and  the  third  find  last  in  November,  1867.  Immediately  upon  the 
completion  of  the  evacuation,  the  French  government  was  to  assume  the 
»»ame  attitude  of  non-intervention  in  regard  to  Mexico  as  is  held  by  the  gov- 
ernment of  the  United  States.  Repeated  assurances  have  been  given  by  the 
Emperor  s  ince  that  agreement  that  he  would  complete  the  promised  evacuation 
within  the  period  mentioned,  or  sooner. 

It  was  reasonably  expected  that  the  proceedings  thus  contemplated  would 
produce  a  crisis  of  great  political  interest  in  the  republic  of  ^lexico.  The  newly 
appointed  minister  of  the  United  States,  Mr.  Campbell,  was  therefore  sent  for- 
ward on  the  ninth  day  of  November  last,  to  assume  his  proper  functions  as 
minister  plenipotentiary  of  the  United  States  to  that  republic.  It  was  also 
thought  expedient  that  he  sholild  be  attended  in  the  vicinity  of  Mexico  by  the 
lieutenant  general  of  the  army  of  the  United  States,  with  the  view  of  obtaining 
such  information  as  might  be  important  to  determine  the  course  to  be  pursued 
by  the  United  States  in  re-establishing  and  maintaining  necessary  and  proper 
intercourse  with  the  republic  of  Mexico.  Deeply  interested  in  the  cause  of  liberty 
and  humanity,  it  seemed  an  obvious  duty  on  our  part  to  exercise  whatever  in- 
fluence we  possessed  for  the  restoration  and  permanent  establishment  in  that 
country  of  a  domestic  and  republican  form  of  government 

Such  was  the  condition  of  our  affairs  in  regard  to  Mexico  when,  on  the  22d  of 
November  last,  official  information  was  received  from  Paris  that  the  Emperor 
of  France  had  some  time  before  decided  not  to  withdraw  a  detachment  of  his  forces 
in  the  month  of  November  past,  according  to  engagement,  but  that  this  decision 
was  made  with  the  purpose  of  withdrawing  the  whole  of  those  forces  in  the  en- 
suing spring.  Of  this  determination,  however,  the  United  States  had  not  re- 
ceived any  notice  or  intimation ;  and,  so  soon  as  the  infonnation  was  received 
by  the  government,  care  was  taken  to  make  known  its  dissent  to  the  Emperor 
of  France. 

I  cannot  forego  the  hope  that  France  will  reconsider  the  subject,  and  adopt 
some  resolution  in  regard  to  the  evacuation  of  Mexico  which  will  conform  as 
nearly  as  practicable  with  the  existing  engagement,  and  thus  meet  the  just  ex- 
pectations of  the  United  States.  The  papers  relating  to  the  subject  will  be  laid 
before  you.  It  is  believed  that,  with  the  evacuation  of  Mexico  by  the  expeditionary 
forces,  no  subject  for  serious  differences  between  France  and  the  United  States 
would  remain.  The  expressions  of  the  Emperor  and  people  of  France  warrant 
a  hope  that  the  traditionary  friendship  between  the  two  countries  might  in  that 
case  be  renewed  and  permanently  restored. 

A  claim  of  a  citizen  of  the  United  States  for  indemnity  for  spoliations  com- 
mitted on  the  high  seas  by  the  French  authorities,  in  the  exercise  of  a  belliger- 
ent power  against  Mexico,  has  been  met  by  the  govei-nment  of  France  with  a 
proposition  to  defer  settlement  until  a  mutual  convention  for  the  adjustment  of 
all  claims  of  citizens  and  subjects  of  both  countries,  arising  out  of  the  recent 
wars  on  this  continent,  shall  be  agi-eed  upon  by  the  two  countries.  The  sug- 
gestion is  not  deemed  unreasonable,  but  it  belongs  to  Congress  to  direct  the 
manner  in  which  claims  for  indemnity  by  foreigners,  as  well  as  by  citizens  of 
the  United  States,  arising  out  of  the  late  civil  war,  shall  be  adjudicated  and  de- 
termined. I  have  no  doubt  that  the  subject  of  all  such  claims  will  engage  your 
attention  at  a  convenient  and  proper  time. 

It  is  a  matter  of  regret  that  no  considerable  advance  has  been  made  towards 
an  adjustment  of  the  differences  between  the  United  States  and  Great  Britain 
arising  out  of  the  depredations  upon  our  national  commerce  and  other  trespasses 


22  JOURNAL  OF  THE  [Dec.  3,  1866. 

committed  during  our  civil  war  by  British  subjects,  in  violation  of  international 
law  and  treaty  obligations.  The  delay,  however,  may  be  believed  to  have  re- 
sulted in  no  small  degree  from  the  domestic  situation  of  Great  Britain.  An  en- 
tire change  of  ministry  occurred  in  that  country  during  the  last  session  of  Par- 
liament. The  attention  of  the  new  ministry  was  called  to  the  subject  at  an  early 
day,  and  there  is  some  reason  to  expect  that  it  will  now  be  considered  in  a  be- 
coming and  friendly  spirit.  The  importance  of  an  early  disposition  of  the  ques- 
tion cannot  be  exaggerated.  Whatever  might  be  the  wishes  of  the  two  govern- 
ments, it  is  manifest  that  good-will  and  friendship  between  the  two  countries  can- 
not be  established  until  a  reciprocity,  in  the  practice  of  good  faith  and  neutrality, 
shall  be  restored  between  the  respective  nations. 

On  the  6th  of  June  last,  in  violation  of  our  neutrality  laws,  a  military 
expedition  and  enterprise  against  the  British  North  American  colonies  was 
projected  and  attempted  to  be  carried  on  within  the  tenitor}^  and  jurisdiction  of 
the  United  States.  In  obedience  to  the  obligation  imposed  upon  the  Executive 
by  the  Constitution,  to  see  that  the  laws  are  faithfully  executed,  «ill  citizens 
were  warned,  by  proclamation,  against  taking  part  in  or  aiding  such  unlawful 
proceedings,  and  the  proper  civil,  military,  and  naval  officers  were  directed  to 
take  all  necessary  measures  for  the  enforcement  of  the  laws.  The  expedition 
failed,  but  it  has  not  been  without  its  painful  consequences.  Some  of  our  citi- 
zens who,  it  was  alleged,  were  engaged  in  the  expedition,  were  captured,  and 
have  been  brought  to  trial  as  for  a  capital  offence,  in  the  province  of  Canada. 
Judgment  and  sentence  of  death  have  been  pronounced  against  some,  while 
others  have  been  acquitted.  Fully  believing  in  the  maxim  of  government  that 
severity  of  civil  punishment  for  misguided  persons  who  have  engaged  in  revolu- 
tionary attempts  which  have  disastrously  failed,  is  unsound  and  unwise,  such 
representations  have  been  made  to  the  British  government,  in  behalf  of  the 
convicted  persons,  as,  being  sustained  by  an  enlightened  and  humane  judg- 
ment, will,  it  is  hoped,  induce  in  their  cases  an  exercise  of  clemency,  and  a  ju- 
dicious amnesty  to  all  who  were  engaged  in  the  movement.  Counsel  has  been 
employed  by  the  government  to  defend  citizens  of  the  United  States  on  trial  for 
capital  offences  in  Canada,  and  a  discontinuance  of  the  prosecutions  which  were 
instituted  in  the  courts  of  the  United  States  against  those  who  took  part  in  the 
expedition,  has  been  directed. 

I  have  regarded  the  expedition  as  not  only  political  in  its  nature,  but  as  also 
in  a  great  measure  foreign  from  the  United  States  in  its  causes,  character,  and 
objects.  The  attempt  was  understood  to  be  made  in  sympathy  with  an  insur- 
gent party  in  Ireland,  and,  by  striking  at  a  British  province  on  this  continent, 
was  designed  to  aid  in  obtaining  redress  for  political  grievances  which,  it  was 
assumed,  the  people  of  Ireland  had  suffered  at  the  hands  of  the  British  govern- 
ment during  a  period  of  several  centuries.  The  persons  engaged  in  it  were 
chiefly  natives  of  that  country,  some  of  whom  had,  while  others  had  not, 
become  citizens  of  the  United  States  under  our  general  laws  of  naturalization. 
Complaints  of  misgovernment  in  Ireland  continually  engage  the  attention  of  the 
British  nation,  and  so  great  an  agitation  is  now  prevailing  in  Ireland  that  the 
British  government  have  deemed  it  necessary  to  suspend  the  writ  of  habeas  cor- 
pus  in  that  country.  These  circumstances  must  necessarily  modify  the  opinion 
which  we  might  otherwise  have  entertained  in  regard  to  an  expedition  expressly 
prohibited  by  our  neutrality  laws.  So  long  as  those  laws  remain  upon  our 
statute  books  they  should  be  faithfully  executed,  and  if  they  operate  harshly, 
unjustly,  or  oppressively.  Congress  alone  can  apply  the  remedy  by  their  modifi- 
cation or  repeal. 

Political  and  commercial  interests  of  the  United  States  are  not  unlikely  to  be 
affected  in  some  degi-ee  by  events  which  ai-e  transpiring  in  the  eastern  regions 
of  Europe,  and  the  time  seems  to  have  come  when  our  government  ought  to 
liave  a  proper  diplomatic  representation  in  Greece.

This  government  has  claimed  for  all  persons  not  convicted,  or  accused,  or 
suspected  of  crime,  an  absolute  political  right  of  self-expatriation,  and  a  choice 
of  new  national  allegiance.  Most  of  the  European  states  have  dissented  from 
this  principle,  and  have  claimed  a  right  to  hold  such  of  their  subjects  as  have 
immigrated  to  and  been  naturalized  in  the  United  States,  and  afterwards  re- 
turned on  transient  visits  to  their  native  countries,  to  the  performance  of  military 
service  in  like  manner  as  resident  subjects.  Complaints  arising  from  the  claim 
in  this  respect  made  by  foreign  states  have  heretofore  been  matters  of  contro- 
versy between  the  United  States  and  some  of  the  European  powers,  and  the 
irritation  consequent  upon  the  failure  to  settle  this  question  increased  during  the 
war  in  which  Prussia,  Italy,  and  Austria  were  recently  engaged.  While  Great 
Britain  has  never  acknowledged  the  right  of  expatriation,  she  has  not  for  some 
years  past  practically  insisted  upon  the  opposite  doctrine.  France  has  been 
equally  forbearing ;  and  Prussia  has  proposed  a  compromise,  which,  although 
evincing  increased  liberality,  has  not  been  accepted  by  the  United  States. 
Peace  is  now  prevailing  everywhere  in  Europe,  and  the  present  seems  to  be  a 
favo  rable  time  for  an  assertion  by  Congress  of  the  principle,  so  long  maintained 
by  the  executive  department,  that  naturalization  by  one  state  fully  exempts  the 
native-born  subject  of  any  other  state  from  the  performance  of  military  service 
under  any  foreign  government,  so  long  as  he  does  not  voluntarily  renounce  its 
rights  and  benefits. 

In  the  performance  of  a  duty  imposed  upon  me  by  the  Constitution,  I  have 
thus  submitted  to  the  representatives  of  the  States  and  of  the  people  such  in- 
formation of  our  domestic  and  foreign  affairs  as  the  public  interests  seem  to  re- 
quire. Our  goveniment  is  now  undergoing  its  most  trying  ordeal,  and  my  ear- 
nest prayer  is  that  the  peril  may  be  successfully  and  finally  passed  without  im- 
pairing its  original  strength  and  symmetry.  The  interests  of  the  nation  are 
best  to  be  promoted  by  the  revival  of  fraternal  relations,  the  complete  oblitera- 
tion of  our  past  differences,  and  the  reinauguration  of  all  the  pursuits  of  peace. 
Directing  our  efforts  to  the  early  accomplishment  of  these  great  ends,  let  us  en- 
deavor to  preserve  harmony  between  the  co-ordinate  departments  of  the  govern- 
ment, that  each  in  its  proper  sphere  may  cordially  co-operate  with  the  other  in 
securing  the  maintenance  of  the  Constitution,  the  preservation  of  the  Union, 
and  the  perpetuity  of  our  free  institutions.

act  to  suppress  insurrection,  to  punish  treason  and  rebellion,  to  seize  and  con- 
fiscate the  property  of  rebels,  and  for  other  purposes,"  approved  July  17, 1862, 
reported  the  same  severally  with  a  recommendation  that  they  do  not  pass,  accom- 
panied by  a  report  on  the  last-named  bill. 

Ordcredt  That  the  said  bills  and  report  be  laid  on  the  table,  and  that  the 
report  be  printed. 

Mr.  Williams,  from  the  same  committee,  to  whom  was  referred  the  bill  of  the 
House  (H.  R.  560)  to  amend  an  act  entitled  **An  act  to  provide  a  national  cur- 
rency, secured  by  a  pledge  of  United  States  bonds,  and  to  provide  for  the  cir- 
culation and  redemption  thereof,'*  reported  the  same  without  amendment. 

Ordered^  That  its  further  consideration  be  postponed  until  Thursday,  the

Mr.  Jenckes,  from  the  Select  Committee  on  the  Civil  Service,  to  whom  was 
referred  the  bill  of  the  House  (H.  R.  673)  to  regulate  the  civil  service  of  the 
United  States,  and  to  promote  the  efficiency  thereof,  reported  the  same  with  an

Mr. Cobb  submitted  the  following  preamble  and  resolutions;  which  were  read, 
considered,  and  agreed  to,  viz : 

Whereas  sections  twelve,  thirteen,  fourteen,  fifteen,  and  sixteen  of  the  act 
making  appropriations  for  sundry  civil  expenses  of  the  government  for  the  year 
ending  June  30,  1S67,  and  for  other  purposes,  approved  July  28,  1866,  which 
sections  of  said  act  provide  for  the  payment  of  an  additional  bounty  to  certain 
soldiers  of  the  Union  army,  were  prepared  and  passed  in  great  haste,  and  with- 
out due  examination  or  consideration  by  the  members  of  either  house  of  Con- 
gress, by  reason  of  which  the  said  sections  are  believed  to  but  illy  express  the 
will  of  Congress,  are  partial  in  their  application,  and  fall  far  short  of  an  equal- 
ization of  bounties;  and  whereas  sections  seventeen  and  eighteen  of  said  act, 
providing  for  an  increase  of  the  pay  of  members  of  Congress,  were  attached  to 
said  bill  and  adopted  in  great  haste  in  the  closing  hours  of  the  session,  receiving 
but  a  bare  majority  of  votes  in  a  very  thin  house,  and  being  believed  to  be  of 
questionable  propriety  as  well  in  substance  as  in  form :  Therefore, 

Resolved,  first.  That  the  Committee  on  Military  Afiairs  be,  and  they  arc  hereby, 
instructed  to  inquire  into  the  expediency  of  so  amending  said  act  as  to  provide 
for  the  payment  of  an  additional  bounty  to  all  soldiers  of  the  late  volunteer 
forces  of  the  United  States  who  served  faithfully  in  the  late  war,  have  been 
honorably  discharged,  and  have  not  received  nor  are  entitled  to  receive  more 
than  $100  bounty  under  previous  laws;  also  of  amending  said  act  so  that  the 
soldier  shall  not  be  deprived  of  its  benefits  by  reason  of  the  accidental  loss  or 
destruction  of  his  certificate  of  honorable  discharge  without  fault  on  his  part ; 
and  that  the  committee  report  by  bill  or  otherwise. 

Resolved,  second,  That  the  Committee  on  the  Judiciary  be,  and  they  are 
hereby,  instructed  to  inquire  into  the  expediency  of  repealing  so  much  of  said 
act  as  provides  for  an  increase  of  the  pay  of  members  of  Congress,  and  that 
they  report  by  bill  or  otherwise. 

Mr.  Cobb  moved  that  the  vote  last  taken  bo  reconsidered,  and  also  moved 
that  the  motion  to  reconsider  be  laid  on  the  table;  which  latter  motion  was 
agreed  to.

proper  authorities  under  such  draft,  showing  the  districts  and  sub-districts  in 
which  they  were  severally  enrolled  and  drafted ;  also,  the  names  of  all  per- 
rrons  who,  undcr  the  provisions  of  the  twenty-first  section  of  the  act  entitled 
"  An  act  to  amend  the  several  acts  heretofore  passed  to  provide  for  enrolling 
and  calling  out  the  national  forces,  and  for  other  purposes,"  approved  March  3,

the  military  or  naval  service,  showing  the  residence,  and  the  company  and  regi- 
ment or  ship  of  each  deserter.

"An  act  to  reduce  internal  taxation,"  &c.,  approved  July  13,  1866;  which 
was  read  a  first  and  second  time  and  referred  to  the  Committee  of  Ways  and 
Means.

of  the  State  of  Michigan  as  have  been  surveyed  by  the  general  government 
the  current  year,  upon  official  report  and  estimates  by  the  engineer  department 
of  the  amounts  requisite  for  the  same,  and  'that  they  report  by  bill  or  other- 
wise. 

Mr.  Ingersoll  submitted  the  following  resolution ;  which  was  read,  con- 
fcidered,  and  disagreed  to,  viz  : 

Rrsolrcd,  That  the  President  of  the  United  States  is  hereby  respectfully  re- 
quested to  inform  this  house,  if  in  his  opinion  not  incompatible  with  the  public 
interest,  how  near  "  the  ver^e  of  the  government  the  present  body  called  a 
Congress"  is  at  present;  and  if  it  is  not  nearer  the  centre  than  he  formerly 
supposed. 

Mr.  Wentworth  submitted  the  following  resolution,  viz  : 

Resolvedy  In  response  to  that  portion  of  the  President's  message  ivhich  relates 
to  those  communities  that  claimed  to  be  the  Confederate  States  of  America, 
that  this  House  find  in  the  many  acts  of  disloyalty  that  have  transpired  in 
those  communities  since  its  last  adjournment,  as  well  as  in  the  recent  elections 
in  the  loyal  States,  additional  reasons  for  insisting  on  the  adoption  of  the  pend- 
ing constitutional  amendment  before  it  will  consider  the  propriety  of  giving 
them  congressional  representation.

Mr.  Wentworth  moved  the  previous  question.

Mr.  Myers  submitted  the  following  preamble  and  resolution ;  which  were

Whereas,  under  the  Constitution  of  the  United  States,  the  President  of  the 
United  States  has  power  to  appoint  officers  of  the  United  States  whose  appoint- 
ments are  established  by  law  only  by  and  with  the  advice  and  consent  of  the 
Senate,  except  temporarily  to  fill  up  vacancies  that  may  happen  in  the  recess 
of  the  Senate ;  and  whereas  the  present  Chief  Magistrate,  it  is  alleged,  has,  in 
numerous  instances,  failed  to  nominate  such  officers  to  the  Senate  fbr  such  ad- 
vice and  consent  until  its  session  had  nearly  closed,  and  then,  after  rejection, 
reappointed  them  or  designated  others  for  their  places,  thus  virtually  exercising 
the  sole  power  of  appointment;  and  whereas,  in  numerous  other  instances,  he 
has,  it  is  alleged,  appointed  men  to  office  and  allowed  a  session  of  the  Senate  to 
elapse  without  sending  in  their  names  for  confirmation ;  and  whereas  he  has 
also,  it  is  alleged,  in  numerous  instances,  during  the  recess  of  the  Senate,  made 
appointments  to  office  where  no. vacancies  had  happened  or  existed  : 

Resolved,  That  the  President  of  the  United  States  be,  and  he  is  hereby,  re- 
quested to  communicate  to  this  house,  at  as  early  a  day  as  possible — 

1.  The  names  of  all  persons  reappointed  by  him  after  rejection  by  the  Senate, 
or  the  names  of  others  appointed  in  their  stead,  with  a  designation  of  the  offices 
to  which  they  were  so  appointed  and  the  dates  of  their  several  appointments, 
and  of  their  nominations  to  the  Senate. 

2.  A  like  list  and  designation  of  all  persons  appointed  by  him  whose  names 
Avere  withheld  from  the  Senate  during  its  sessions. 

3.  A  like  list  and  designation  of  all  appointments  made  by  him  during  the 
recess  of  the  Senate  where  no  vacancy  had  happened ;  and  if  to  fill  vacancies, 
then  a  complete  statement  of  how  such  vacancies  occurred. 

Mr.  Darling,  on  leave,  introduced  a  bill  (H.  II.  847)  to  provide  for  the  elec- 
tion of  a  delegate  in  Congress  from  the  District  of  Columbia ;  which  was  read 
a  first  and  second  time  and  referred  to  the  Committee  for  the  District  of  Co- 
lumbia. 

Mr.  Warner  submitted  the  following  resolution ;  which  was  read  and  referred 
to  the  Committee  on  the  Judiciary,  viz : 

Resolved,  That  the  salary  of  the  judge  for  the  district  of  Connecticut  be  in- 
creased to  the  sum  of  four  thousand  dollars,  instead  of  the  sum  now  allowed 
by  law. 

Mr.  Darling,  by  unanimous  consent,  submitted  the  following  preamble  and 
resolution ;  which  were  read,  considered,  and,  under  the  operation  of  the  pre- 
vious question,  agreed  to,  viz  : 

Whereas  it  is  publicly  alleged  that  great  frauds  are  daily  practiced  in  the 
payment  and  collection  of  the  internal  revenue  on  distilled  spirits,  tobacco,  and 
cigars,  involving  the  integrity  and  fidelity  of  the  revenue  officers  of  the  goveru- 
ment :  Therefore,

report  to  this  house  the  facts  as  to  any  frauds  or  evasions  in  the  payment  of 
internal  duties,  and  as  to  the  terms  of  compromise  or  settlement  in  any  cases  of 
underpayment  or  alleged  fraud  of  any  parties  concerned  in  the  manufacture  of 
distilled  spirits,  tobacco,  or  cigars,  and  of  any  inspector  or  other  internal  revenue

dent to  communicate  to  the  House,  **  if  not  in  his  opinion  incompatible  with 
the  public  interests,  the  information  asked  for  in  a  resolution  of  this  house 
dated  the  23d  June  last,  and  which  resolution  he  has  up  to  this  time  failed  to 
answer,  as  to  whether  any  application  has  been  made  to  him  for  the  pardon  of

the  Constitution  of  the  United  State?  and  with  the  act  '*  to  protect  all  persons 
in  the  United  States  in  their  civil  rights  and  furnish  the  means  of  their  vindi- 
cation;" and  that  if  in  their  opinion  the  Constitution  and  the  act  referred  to 
have  been  violated,  the  committee  further  inquire  whether  any  steps  have 
been  taken  by  the  President  of  the  United  States  to  enforce  the  law  and  pre- 
vent such  outrages ;  and  that  said  committee  have  power  to  send  for  persons 
and  papers  and  to  report  to  the  House  at  any  time  what  action  they  may  deem 
necessary  and  proper  for  Congress  to  take  on  the  subject. 

Pending  which, 

31  r.  William  Lawrence  submitted  the  following  amendment  thereto,  viz  :  Add

liberty,  and  property  in  that  portion  of  the  States  declared  to  be  in  rebellion."

ment; 

When 

The  previous  question  was  seconded  and  the  main  question  ordered ;  and, 
under  the  operation  thereof,  the  joint  resolution  was  ordered  to  be  engrossed  and 
read  a  third  time. 

Iking  engrossed,  it  was  accordingly  read  the  third  time  and  passed. 

Mr.  Moulton  moved  that  the  vote  last  taken  be  reconsidered,  and  also  moved 
that  the  motion  to  reconsider  be  laid  on  the  table ;  which  latter  motion  was 
agreed  to.  ^ 

Ordered,  That  the  Clerk  request  the  concurrence  of  the  Senate  in  the  saia 
joint  resolution. 

The  Speaker  having  resumed  the  call  of  the  States  and  Territories  for  reso- 
lutions, 

Mr.  McClnrg  submitted  the  following  preamble  and  resolution,  viz  : 

Whereas,  under  the  provisions  of  section  twenty -four  of  an  act  entitled  '*  An 
act  to  ameitl  an  act  entitled  *  An  act  for  enrolling  and  calling  out  the  national 
forces,  and  for  other  purposes,* "  approved  February  24,  1864,  the  Secretary 
of  War  was  required  to  appoint  a  commission  in  each  of  the  slave  States  repre- 
gented  in  Congress  to  award  to  each  loyal  person  to  whom  a  colored  volunteer 
may  have  owed  service  a  just  compensation,  payable  out  of  the  fund  derived 
from  commutations ;  and  whereas,  imder  the  provisions  of  section  two  of  an 
ict  approved  July  28,  1866,  entitled  "  An  act  making  appropriations  for  sundry 
civil  expenses  of  the  government  for  the  year  ending  June  30,  1867,  and  for 
other  purposes,"  ap  much  of  any  money  in  the  treasury  known  as  the  commu- 
tation fund  as  may  be  necessary  was  appropriated  for  payment  to  such  claimants 
of  the  amounts  before  or  thereiiler  to  be  awarded  upon  the  final  reports  of  such 
commiseions  on  all  such  claims ;  and  whereas,  also,  it  is  represented  that  so 
vague  and  deceptive  are  the  interpretations  of  the  word  "loyal,"  and  so  per- 
verted the  consciences  of  those  who  sympathized  with  the  late  rebellion,  that 
oaths  are  unscrupulously  taken,  and  proofs  made  which  will  compel  the  most 
watchful  commissioners  now  in  session  to  award  millions  of  dollars  to  the  most 
guileful  enemies  of  the  government,  contrary  to  the  spirit  of  the  acts  before 
mentioned :  Therefore, 

Be  it  resolvedf  That  the  Committee  on  the  Judiciary  be  instructed  to  inquire 
into  the  constitutionality  and  expediency  of  a  repeal  of  these  laws,  and  to 
report  to  this  house  by  bill  or  otherwise. 

The  same  having  been  read, 

The  Speaker  stated  the  question  to  be  on  agreeing  to  the  resolution. 

Pending  which, 

Mr.  McClurg  moved  the  previous  question ;  which  was  seconded  and  the  main 
question  ordered  and  put,  viz  :  Will  the  House  agree  to  the  said  resolution  1

same  was  made ;  and  that  he  furnish  a  copy  thereof,  with  tlie  amount  of  ex- 
penditures incurred  in  carrying  it  into  effect. 

Mr.  Benjamin  moved  that  the  vote  last  taken  be  reconsidered,  and  also 
moved  that  the  motion  to  reconsider  be  laid  on  the  table  ;  which  latter  motion 
was  agreed  to. 

Mr.  Kelso  submitted  the  following  resolution,  viz : 

Resolired,  That  for  the  purpose  of  securing  the  fruits  of  the  victories  gained 
on  the  part  of  the  republic  during  the  late  war,  waged  by  rebels  and  traitors 
against  the  life  of  the  nation,  and  of  giving  effect  to  the  will  of  the  people,  as 
expressed  at  the  polls  during  the  late  election  by  majorities  numbering  in  the 
aggregate  more  than  four  hundred  thousand  votes,  it  is  the  imperative  duty  of 
the  thirty-ninth  Congress  to  take,  without  delay,  such  action  as  will  accom- 
plish ihe  following  objects : 

1.  The  impeachment  of  the  officer  now  exercising  the  functions  pertaining  to 
the  office  of  the  President  of  the  United  States  of  America,  and  his  removal 
from  office,  upon  his  conviction,  in  due  form,  of  the  crimes  and  high  misde- 
meanors of  which  he  is  manifestly  and  notoriously  guilty,  and  which  render 
it  unsafe  longer  to  permit  him  to  exercise  the  powers  he  has  unlawfully  as* 
gnmed. 

2.  To  provide  for  the  faithful  and  efficient  administration  of  the  executive 
department  within  the  limits  prescribed  by  law. 

The  same  having  been  read, 

Mr.  Kelso  moved  the  previous  question. 

Pending  which, 

Mr.  Davis  moved  that  the  resolution  be  laid  on  the  table.

So  the  House  refused  to  lay  the  resolution  on  the  tahle.

Two  messages,  in  writing,  were  received  from  the  President  of  the  United 
States,  by  Mr.  Johnson,  his  private  secretary,  which  were  handed  in  at  the 
Speaker's  table. 

Subsequently 

The  Speaker,  by  unanimous  consent,  laid  the  said  messages  before  the 
House  ;  which  were  read,  and  are  as  follows,  viz  : 

To  the  House  of  Representatives  : 

In  answer  to  a  resolution  of  the  House  of  Representatives  of  the  19tb 
instant,  calling  for  a  copy  of  certain  correspondence  relating  to  the  joint  occu- 
pancy of  the  island  of  San  Juan,  in  Washington  Territory,  I  transmit  a  report 
from  the  Secretary  of  State  on  the  subject.

H.  R.  828.  An  act  to  repeal  section  13  of  an  act  to  suppress  insurrection,  to 
punish  treason  and  rebellion,  to  sieze  and  confiscate  the  property  of  rebels,  i\m\ 
for  other  purposes,  approved  July  17,  1862  ; 

When 

The  Speaker  signed  the  same. 

A  message  from  the  Senate,  by  Mr.  McDonald,  their  chief  clerk  :

S.  Res.  154.  Joint  resolution  to  provide  for  the  exhibition  of  the  cereal  pro-

in  which  I  am  directed  to  ask  the  concurrence  of  the  House. 

Mr.  James  M.  Ashley,  as  a  question  of  privilege,  submitted  the  following : 

"  I  do  impeach  Andrew  Johnson,  Vice-President  and  acting  President  of  the 
United  States,  of  high  crimes  and  misdemeanors. 

**  I  charge  him  with  a  usurpation  of  power  and  violation  of  law  : 

•*  In  that  he  has  corruptly  used  the  appointing  power ; 

"  In  that  he  has  corruptly^  used  the  pardoning  power ; 

*  In  that  he  has  corruptly  used  the  veto  power ; 

"  In  that  he  has  corruptly  disposed  of  public  |)roperty  of  the  United  States ; 

"In  that  he  has  corruptly  interfered  in  elections,  and  committed  acts  which, 
in  contemplation  of  the  Constitution,  are  high  crimes  and  misdemeanors : 
Therefore, 

"  Be  it  resolved.  That  the  Committee  on  the  Judiciary  be,  and  they  are  hereby, 
authorized  to  inquire  into  the  official  conduct  of  Andrew  Johnson,  Vice-President 
of  the  United  States,  discharging  the  powers  and  duties  of  the  office  of  President 
of  the  United  States,  and  to  report  to  this  house  whether,  in  their  opinion,  the 
said  Andrew  Johnson,  while  in  said  office,  has  been  guilty  of  acts  which  were 
designed  or  calculated  to  overthrow%  subvert,  or  corrupt  the  government  of  the 
United  States,  or  any  department  or  officer  thereof;  and  whether  the  said 
Andrew  Johnson  has  been  guilty  of  any  act,  or  has  conspired  with  others  to  do 
acts,  which,  in  contemplation  of  the  Constitution,  are  high  crimes  or  misde- 
meanors, requiring  the  interposition  of  the  constitutional  power  of  this  house ; 
and  that  said  committee  have  power  to  send  for  persons  and  papers,  and  to

ANDREW  JOHNSON. 

Executive  Mansion,  Washinglmi,  January  14,  1867. 

To  the  House  o/ Representatives  : 

I  transmit  to  the  House  of  Representatives,  in  answer  to  a  resolution  of  the

Mr.  i3anks,  by  unanimous  consent,  submitted  the  ftdlowing  preamble  and 
resolution  ;  which  were  read,  considered,  and  agreed  to,  viz  : 

Whereas  the  traffic  in  laborers  transjiorted  from  China  and  other  eastern 
countries,  known  as  the  coolie  trade,  is  regarded  by  the  people  of  the  United 
States  as  inhuman  and  immoral;  and  whereas  it  is  abhorrent  to' the  spirit  of 
modem  international  law  and  policy,  which  have  substantially  extirpated  the 
African  slave  trade,  to  permit  the  establishment  in  its  place  of  a  mode  of  enslav- 
ing men  differing  from  the  former  in  little  else  than  the  employment  of  fraud 
instead  of  force  to  make  its  victims  captive  :  Therefore, 

Resolved,  That  it  is  the  duty  of  this  government  to  give  effect  to  the  moral 
sentiment  of  the  nation  through  all  its  agencies,  for  the  purpose  of  preventing 
the  further  introduction  of  coolies  into  this  hemisphere  or  the  adjacent  islands. 

Mr.  Banks  moved  that  the  vote  last  taken  be  reconsidered,  and  also  moved

Mr.  Trimble  rose  and  proposed  as  a  question  of  privilege  to  call  attention  to 
a  report  of  the  associated  press  of  remarks  made  by  him  in  the  House. 

The  Speaker  decided  that  the  gentleman  from  Kentucky  was  out  of  order, 
on  the  ground  that  no  question  of  privilege  was  involved  in  such  a  report,  and 
that  even  if  such  was  the  case  it  could  not  be  entertained  at  this  time  owing  to 
the  pendency  of  the  motion  to  lay  the  bill  on  the  table. 

From  this  decision  of  the  Chair,  Mr.  Finck  appealed.

So  the  House  again  refused  to  adjourn. 

An  excuse  was  offered  and  allowed  for  the  non-attendance  of  Mr.  Windom. 

Mr.  Grinnell  moved  that  Mr.  Woodbridge  be  excused  for  non-attendance ; 
which  motion  was  disagreed  to. 

On  motion  of  Mr.  Schenck, 

Ordcrcdy  That  the  Sergeant-at-arms  be  directed  to  take  into  custody  such 
members  of  the  House  as  are  absent  without  leave,  and  bring  them  forthwith  to 
the  bar  of  the  House. 

On  motion  of  Mr  Schenck,  by  unanimous  consent, 

Ordered,  That  the  roll  be  again  called,  for  the  purpose  of  ascertaining  if  any 
members  who  answered  upon  the  call  just  made  are  absent.

Ordered^  That  the  Sergeant-at-arms  be  directed  to  arrest  the  said  absentees, 
and  bring  them  to  the  bar  of  the  House. 

Excuses  were  then  offered  and  allowed  for  the  non-attendance  of  Mr.  A.  W. 
Hubbard,  Mr.  Henderson,  Mr.  William  Lawrence,  Mr.  Blow,  and  Mr.  Hotchkiss. 

On  motion  of  Mr.  Samuel  J.  Randall,  the  vote  by  which  Mr.  Hotchkiss  was 
excused  was  reconsidered. 

The  question  again  recurring  on  the  motion  to  excuse  Mr.  Hotchkiss, 

It  was  put  and  decided  in  the  affirmative. 

Mr.  Noell  submitted  the  following  resolution,  viz  : 

Resolved^  That  the  arraignment  before  the  bar  of  the  House  of  all  persons 
for  being  absent  without  leave  be  postponed  until  Wednesday,  at  1  o'clock  p.  m. 

Pending  which, 

Mr.  Broomall  submitted  the  following  amendment,  viz :  Strike  out  all  after 
the  word  ^'Resolved,''  and  insert,  in  lieu  thereof,  the  following:  *'That  the 
Sergeant-at-arms  be  directed  to  bring  the  members  now  absetit  without  leave 
before  the  bar  of  the  House  at  1  oWock  to-morroic^  or  as  soon  thereafter  as  pos- 
sible,  and  that  they  then  be  required  to  show  cause  %chy  they  should  not  be 
declared  to  be  in  contempt  of  the  House,  and  to  abide  the  order  of  the  Hou*e." 

And  the  question  being  put,  Will  the  House  agree  thereto  ] 

Jt  was  decided  in  the  negative. 

The  question  then  recurring  on  the  resolution  of  Mr.  Noell, 

Mr.  Broomall  submitted  the  following  amendment,  viz : 


Jam,  2-2,  1867.]        HOUSE  OF  REPRESENTATIVES.  237 

^*  Resolved  J  That  the  Sergeant -at-arms  be  directed  to  bring  the  members  now

then  be  required  to  show  cause  why  they  should  not  be  declared  to  be  in  contempt 
of  the  House,  and  to  abide  the  order  of  the  House,*' 

The  same  having  been  accepted  by  Mr.  Noell  as  a  modification  of  \m  original

Whereas  much  embarrassment  now  prevails  in  the  country  affecting  injuri- 
ously the  commercial  and  other  interests  thereof,  on  account  of  the  uncertainty 
of  what  may  be  done  by  this  Congress  affecting  the  volume  of  currency  now  in

currency  than  that  already  authorized  by  law,  to  wit,  $4,000,000  per  month, 
would  not  be  advisable. 

Resolved,  That  the  said  reduction  should  be  so  managed  as  to  take  the 
amount  so  retired  and  cancelled  from  the  interest-bearing  notes,  and  not  from  the 
non  interest-bearing  notes 

Resolved,  That  that  part  of  the  compound-interest  notes  which  shall  fall  due 
during  the  next  year,  and  shall  not  be  retired  and  cancelled  under  and  by  virtue 
of  the  law  now  authorizing  the  retirement  and  cancellation  of  $4,000,000  per 
month,  should  have  their  places  supplied  by  legal-tender  notes  bearing  no 
interest. 

The  same  having  been  read,

same. 

Debate  then  arising,  the  resolution  was  laid  over,  under  the  rule. 

Mr.  Grinnell  submitted  the  following  resolutions,  viz : 

Resolved,  That  the  public  interest  demands  that  there  shall  not,  during  the

A  message  from  the  Senate,  by  Mr.  Forney,  thtir  Secretary : 

Mr,  Speaker:  The  h^enate  have  agreed  to  the  amendment  of  the  House  to 
the  joint  resolution  of  the  Senate  (S.  Res.  94)  providing  for  the  payment  of

Mr.  Lynch  moved  that  the  rules  be  suspended  so  as  to  enable  him  to  submit 
and  the  House  to  consider  the  following  preamble  and  resolutions,  viz  : 

Whereas  the  overthrow  of  the  armed  forces  of  the  rebellion  left  the  people  of 
Virginia,  North  Carolina,  South  Carolina,  Georgia,  Florida,  Mississippi,  Ala- 
bama, Louisiana,  Arkansas,  and  Texas  "  deprived  of  all  civil  government  ;** 
and  whereas  the  governments  now  existing  in  those  States,  established  by  the 
President  of  the  United  States,  have  no  constitutional  sanction,  and,  being 
under  the  control  and  administration  of  the  leaders  of  the  rebellion,  fail  to 
afford  to  loyal  citizens  of  the  United  States  that  protection  to  which  they  are 
entitled  :  Tlierefore, 

Resolved,  That  it  is  the  duty  of  Congress  immediately  to  establish  such  gov- 
ernments over  those  States  as  shall  maintain  the  authority  of  the  national  gov- 
ernment, suppress  violence,  establish  order,  and  protect  all  the  citizens  thereof 
in  their  lawful  rights,  to  the  end  that  they  may  as  speedily  as  is  consistent  with 
the  safety  of  the  nation  be  restored  to  their  former  relations  to  the  Union. 

Resolved,  That  in  the  formation  of  new  State  governments  for  those  States, 
all  loyal  citizens  have  a  right  to  participate,  and  should  be  protected  in  the  exer- 
cise of  such  rights  by  the  national  government.

read,  considered,  and,  under  the  operation  of  the  previous  question,  agreed  to.  viz : 

Whereas  it  is  alleged  that  a  claims  commission  of  the  War  Department  is  now 
in  session  in  Washington,  which  has  allowed  to  citizens  of  States  lately  in 
rebellion  claims  growi.ig  out  of  the  destruction  or  appropriation  of  or  damages 
to  property  by  the  army  of  the  United  States  while  engaged  in  suppressing  the 
rebellion,  some  of  which  claims  have  been  paid — all  of  which,  according  to  the 
uniform  understanding  previously  in  this  Congress,  is  without  authority  of  law : 
Therefore, 

Resolved,  That  the  Committee  of  Claims  be,  and  are,  instructed  to  ascertain 
whether  such  claims  commission  exists;  the  authority  therefor;  whether  said 
commission  has  allowed  any  claim  or  claim's  without  authority  of  law  ;  whether, 
if  so,  they  have  been  paid,  and  by  what  authority ;  whether  any  appropriation 
has  been  made  therefor,  and  what  law,  if  any,  may  be  necessary  or  proper,  and 
that  said  committee  report  by  bill  or  otherwise. 

Mr.  Higby  moved  that  the  vote  last  taken  be  reconsidered,  and  also  moved 
that  the  motion  to  reconsider  be  laid  on  the  table ;  which  latter  motion  was 
agreed  to.    •

member  of  this  house  of  high  crimes  and  misdemeanors,  and  the  Committee  on 
the  Judiciary  have  been  instructed  to  examine  into  the  facts  upon  which  said 
impeachment  was  based,  with  power  to  send  for  persons  and  papers,  and  report 
them  to  this  house  in  order,  if  thought  warrantable,  that  the  President  may  be 
arraigned  for  trial  thereon  by  the  Senate ;  and  whereas,  while  the  Committee  on 
the  Judiciary  are  examining  witnesses  with  relation  to  said  high  crimes  and 
misdemeanors  of  which  the  President  has  been  impeached,  with  a  view  of 
making  a  report  to  this  house  for  its  disinterested  action,  it  has  for  some  time 
been  rumored,  and  has  at  last  been  asserted  in  public  newspapers,  that  certain 
members  of  this  house,  who  are  bound  to  act  impartially  upon  the  report  of  said 
committee  when  presented,  are  now  holding,  and  have  been  for  some  time 
holding,  private  meetings  with  a  view  to  a  corrupt  bargain,  whereby,  in  viola- 
tion of  their  oaths,  they  have  pledged  and  are  pledging  themselves  in  advance 
to  act  adversely  to  said  report  if  unfavorable  to  the  President,  and  also  to  act 
adversely  to  certiiin  other  measures  pending  before  this  house  to  which  they 
have  heretofore  been  favorable,  provided  the  President  himself  will  do  certain 
things  to  which  he  has  heretofore  declared  himself  hostile,  and  refrain  from 
doing  certain  things  to  which  he  has  heretofore  declared  himself  favorable : 
Therefore, 

**  Resolved,  That  a  select  committee  of  three  bo  instructed  to  inquire  whether 
any  such  meetings  have  been  held  for  any  such  corrupt  purposes,  what  mem- 
bers of  this  house  have  attended  the  same,  what  persons  besides  membersof  Con- 
gress have  attended  them,  what  persons  have  carried  communications  from  those 
members  to  the  President,  and  from  the  President  to  them,  and  what  has  been  the 
nature  of  such  communications ;  and  also  that  said  committee  report  at  the  earliest 
practicable  day  the  result  uf  their  inquiries,  and  that  they  also  report  such  reso- 
lutions for  the  action  of  the  House  as  they  may  deem  necessary  for  the  preserva- 
tion of  its  honor  and  independence ;  and  tliat  said  select  committee  have  power 
to  send  for  persons  and  papers  and  examfne  witnesses  under  oath  :**  Therefore, 

Resolved,  That  the  select  committee  of  three  appointed  under  said  resolution 
be  instructed  to  report,  immediately  after  the  reading  of  the  journal  to-morrow, 
any  evidence  that  may  be  in  possession  of  said  committee,  or  any  member 
thereof,  relating  to  the  corrupt  bargain  referred  to  in  the  preamble  to  said  reso- 
lution. 

Resolved  further.  That  Hon.  John  Wentworth  be  requested  at  the  same  time  to 
furnish  to  this  house  the  newspaper  assertions  and  a  statement  of  the  rumors  in

The  same  having  been  read, 

Mr.  Hill  moved  the  previous  question.

The  question  then  recurring  on  the  demand  for  the  previous  question,  it  was 
seconded  and  the  main  question  ordered,  and  under  the  operation  thereof  the 
preamble  and  resolutions  were  agreed  to. 

Mr.  Hill  moved  that  the  vote  last  taken  be  reconsidered,  and  also  moved  that

their  property  and  its  uae  and  consamption  by  the  United  States  forces,  and 
are  now  greatly  suffering  by  reason  of  the  failure  of  the  government  to  com- 
pensate them :  Therefore, 

Resolved,  That  the  Committee  of  Claims  be  i*equired  to  report  to  this  house 
at  an  early  day  a  bill  establishing  a  commission  to  investigate,  adjudicate,  and 
settle  the  claims  of  the  loyal  people  of  Tennessee  against  the  government  of

Whereas  the  announcement  and  continued  promulgation  of  the  Monroe  doc- 
trine by  the  government  of  the  United  States  of  America  have  been  a  powerful 
support  to  the  republican  government  in  Mexico :  Therefore, 

Be  it  resolved.  That  humanity,  civilization,  and  Christianity  enjoin  upon  the 
government  and  people  of  the  United  States  the  duty  of  persistently  insisting 
upon  the  observance  by  the  belligerent  powers  in  Mexico  of  all  those  wise  prin- 
ciples of  the  international  laws  of  war  which  have  been  accepted  and  observed

So  the  bill  was  rejected. 

Mr.  Phelps  moved  that  the  vote  last  taken  be  reconsidered,  and  also  moved

agreed  to. 

The  Speaker,  by  unanimous  consent,  laid  before  the  House, 

I.  A  letter  from  the  Secretary  of  War,  in  answer  to  a  resolution  of  the  House

On  motion  of  Mr.  Morrill,  the  House  resolved  itself  into  the  Committee  of  the 
Whole  House  on  the  state  of  the  Union;  and  after  some  time  spent  therein,  the

vide increased  revenue  from  imports,  and  for  other  purposes,  with  the  amend- 
ment of  the  Senate  thereto,  had  come  to  no  resolution  thereon.

The  Senate  have  agreed  to  the  report  of  the  committee  of  conference  on  the

making  appropriations  for  the  current  and  contingent  expenses  of  the  Indian

Mr.  Miller,  by  unanimous  consent,  submitted  the  following  resolution  ;  which 
was  read,  and  referred  to  the  Committee  on  Reconstruction,  viz : 

Whereas  ten  of  the  States  lately  in  rebellion,  to  wit :  Alabama,' Arkansas,  Florida, 
Georgia,  Louisiana,  North  Carolina,  South  Carolina,  Texas,  Mississippi,  and 
Virginia,  have  through  their  legislatures  refused  to  ratify  the  amendment  to 
the  Constitution  of  the  United  States  proposed  by  the  39th  Congress  at  their 
first  session,  and  known  as  article  fourteen  :  Therefore, 

Resolved,  1.  That  said  amendments  are  deemed  necessary  for  the  preserva- 
tion of  the  Union,  and  required  in  order  to  guarantee  to  every  State  a  republican 
form  of  government. 

2.  That  no  State  lately  in  rebellion  against  the  government  of  the  United 
States  ought  to  have  a  representation  on  this  floor  as  long  as  such  State  declines 
the  ratification  of  said  amendment. 

3.  That  said  amendments  are  offering  to  the  late  rebellious  States  terms  pre- 
cedent to  the  admission  of  representation  more  conciliatory  than  they  had  a 
right  to  expect,  and  if  they  continue  to  refuse  to  ratify  the  same,  conditions 
more  stringent  ought  to  be  required. 

4.  That  the  doctrine  of  universal  amnesty  to  those  who  endeavored  in  the 
late  bloody  conflict  to  dismember  this  republic  ought  to  be  discarded  by  every 
loyal  patriot. 

Mr.  Elasson,  from  the  committee  of  conference  on  the  disagreeing  votes  of  the

niary  last,  General  IngalPB  report  of  an  inspection  made  by  him  in  1860 ;  which 
was  laid  on  the  table  and  ordered  to  be  printed. 

The  Speaker  then  laid  before  the  House  the  bill  of  the  House  (H.  R.  1143) 
to  provide  for  the  more  efficient  government  of  the  rebel  States,  together  with 
the  objections  of  the  President  accompanying  the  same. 

The  said  message  having  been  read  as  follows,  viz  : 

To  the  House  of  Representatives : 

I  have  examined  the  bill  "to  provide  for  the  more  efficient  government  of  the 
rebel  States  "  with  the  care  and  anxiety  which  its  transcendent  importance  is 
calculated  to  awaken.  I  am  unable  to  give  it  my  assent,  for  reasons  so  grave 
that  I  hope  a  statement  of  them  may  have  some  influence  on  the  minds  of  the 
patriotic  and  enlightened  men  with  whom  the  decision  must  ultimately  rest. 

The  bill  places  all  the  people  of  the  ten  States  therein  named  under  the  ab- 
solute domination  of  military  rulers ;  and  the  preamble  undertakes  to  give  the 
reason  upon  which  the  measure  is  based,  and  the  ground  upon  which  it  is  jus- 
tified. It  declares  that  there  exists  in  those  States  no  legal  governments,  and 
no  adequate  protection  for  life  or  property,  and  asserts  the  necessity  of  enforc- 
ing peace  and  good  order  within  tlieir  limits.     Is  this  true  as  matter  of  fact  1 

It  is  not  denied  that  the  States  in  question  have  each  of  them  an  actual  gov- 
ernment, with  all  the  powers,  executive,  judicial,  and  legislative,  which  properly 
belong  to  a  free  State.  They  are  organized  like  the  other  States  of  the  Union, 
and,  like  them,  they  make,  administer,  and  execute  the  laws  which  concern 
their  domestic  affiiirs.  An  existing  8e  facto  government,  exercising  such  func- 
tions as  these,  is  itself  the  law  of  the  State  upon  all  matters  within  its  juris- 
diction. To  pronounce  the  supreme  law-making  power  of  an  established  State 
illegal,  is  to  say  that  law  itself  is  unlawful. 

The  provisions  which  these  governments  have  made  for  the  preservation  of 
order,  the  suppression  of  crime,  and  the  redress  of  private  injuries,  are  in  sub- 
stance and  principle  the  same  as  those  which  prevail  in  the  northern  States 
and  in  other  civilized  countries.  They  certainly  have  not  succeeded  in  pre- 
venting the  commission  of  all  crime,  nor  has  this  been  accomplished  anywhere 
in  the  world.  There,  as  well  as  elsewhere,  offenders  sometimes  escape  for  want 
of  vigorous  prosecution,  and  occasionally,  perhaps,  by  the  inefficiency  of  courts 
or  the  prejuaice  of  jurors.  It  is  undoubtedly  true  that  these  evils  have  been 
much  increased  and  aggravated,  north  and  south,  by  the  demoralizing  influ- 
ences of  civil  war,  and  by  the  rancorous  passions  which  the  contest  has  engen- 
dered. But  that  these  people  are  maintaining  local  governments  for  themselves 
which  habitually  defeat  the  object  of  all  government  and  render  their  own 
lives  and  property  insecure,  is  in  itself  utterly  improbable,  and  the  averment  of 
the  bill  to  that  effect  is  not  supported  by  any  evidence  which  has  come  to  my 
knowledge.  All  the  information  I  have  on  the  subject  convinces  me  that  the 
masses  of  the  southern  people  and  those  who  control  their  public  acts,  while 
they  entertain  diverse  opinions  on  questions  of  federal  policy,  are  completely 
united  in  the  effort  to  reorganize  their  society  on  the  basis  of  peace,  and  to  re- 
store their  mutual  prosperity  as  rapidly  and  as  completely  as  their  circumstances 
will  permit. 

The  bill,  however,  would  seem  to  show  upon  its  face  that  the  establishment 
of  peace  and  good  order  is  not  its  real  object.  The  fifth  section  declares  that 
the  preceding  sections  shall  cease  to  operate  in  any  State  where  certain  events 
shall  have  happened.  These  events  are— first,  the  selection  of  delegates  to  a 
State  convention  by  an  election  at  which  negroes  shall  be  allowed  to  vote. 
Second,  the  formation  of  a  State  constitution  by  the  convention  so  chosen. 
Third,  the  insertion  into  the  State  constitution  of  a  provision  which  will  secure 
the  right  of  voting  at  all  elections  to  negroes,  and  to  such  white  men  as  may 
not  be  disfranchised  for  rebellion  or  felony.  FouTth,  llv^  ^xxbmvSk^vsvjL  ^^  \fefc

adoption  of  said  amendment  by  a  sufficient  number  of  other  States  to  make 
a  part  of  the  Constitution  of  the  United  States.     All  these  conditions  must 
fulfilled  before  the  people  of  any  of  these  States  can  bo  relieved  from  "^^ 
bondage  of  military  domination ;  but  when  they  are  fulfilled,  then  immediat.^^, 
the  pains  and  penalties  of  the  bill  are  to  cease,  no  matter  whether  there       , 
peace  and  order  or  not,  and  without  any  reference  to  the  security  of  lif^ 
property.     The  excuse  given  for  the  bill  in  the  preamble  is  admitted  by     -» 
bill  itself  not  to  be  real.     The  military  rule  which  it  establishes  is  plainly  ^ 
be  used — not  for  any  purpose  of  order  or  for  the  prevention  of  crime,  but  sc>7^;,^ 
as  a  means  of  coercing  the  people  into  the  adoption  of  principles  and  mea^j^j.^^ 
to  which  it  is  known  that  they  are  opposed,  and  upon  which  they  have  aa  qq, 
deniable  right  to  exercise  their  own  judgment. 

I  subn;iit  to  Congress  whether  this  measure  is  not  in  its  whole  character 
scope,  and  object,  without  precedent  and  without  authority,  in  palpable  conflict 
with  the  plainest  provisions  of  the  Constitution,  and  utterly  destructive  to  those 
great  principles  of  liberty  and  humanity  for  which  our  ancestors  on  both  sides 
of  the  Atlantic  have  shed  so  much  blood  and  expended  so  much  treasure. 

The  ten  States  named  in  the  bill  are  divided  into  five  districts.  For  each 
district  an  officer  of  the  army,  not  below  the  rank  of  a  brigadier  general,  is  to 
be  appointed  to  rule  over  the  people ;  and  he  is  to  be  supported  with  an  efficient 
military  force  to  enable  him  to  perform  his  duties  and  enforce  his  authoritj. 
Those  duties  and  that  authority,  as  defined  by  the  third  section  of  the  bill,  are, 
"  to  protect  all  persons  in  their  rights  of  person  and  property,  to  suppress  in- 
surrection, disorder,  and  violence,  and  to  punish  or  cause  to  be  puuished  all 
disturbers  of  the  public  peace  or  criminals."  The  power  thus  given  to  the 
commanding:  officer  over  all  the  people  of  each  district  is  that  of  an  absolute 
monarch.  His  mere  will  is  to  take  the  place  of  all  law.  The  law  of  the  States 
is  now  the  only  rule  applicable  to  the  subjects  placed  under  his  control,  and 
that  is  completely  displaced  by  the  clause  which  declares  all  interference  of 
State  authority  to  be  null  and  void.  He  alone  is  permitted  to  determine  what 
are  rights  of  person  or  property,  and  he  may  protect  them  in  such  way  asinhia 
discretion  may  seem  proper.  It  places  at  his  free  disposal  all  the  lands  and 
goods  in  his  district,  and  he  may  distribute  them  without  let  or  hindrance  to 
whom  he  pleases.  Being  bouna  by  no  State  law,  and  there  being  no  other  law 
to  regulate  the  subject,  he  may  make  a  criminal  code  of  his  own ;  and  he  can 
make  it  as  bloody  as  any  recorded  in  history,  or  he  can  reserve  the  privilege  of 
acting  upon  the  impulse  of  .his  private  passions  in  each  case  that  arises.  He  is 
bound  by  no  rules  of  evidence ;  there  is  indeed  no  provision  by  which  he  ia 
authorized  or  required  to  take  any  evidence  at  all.  Everything  is  a  crime 
which  he  chooses  to  call  so,  and  all  persons  are  condemned  whom  he  pronounces 
to  be  guilty.  He  is  not  bound  to  keep  any  record,  or  make  any  report  of  his 
proceedings.  He  may  arrest  his  victims  wherever  he  finds  them,  without  war- 
rant, accusation  or  proof  of  probable  cause.  If  he  gives  them  a  trial  before  be 
inflicts  the  punishment,  he  gives  it  of  his  grace  and  mercy,  not  because  he  is 
commanded  so  to  do. 

To  a  casual  reader  of  the  bill,  it  might  seem  that  some  kind  of  trial  was 
secured  by  it  to  persons  accused  of  crime ;  but  such  is  not  the  case.  The  offi- 
cer "  may  allow  local  civil  tribunals  to  try  offenders,"  but  of  course  this  does 
not  require  that  he  shall  do  so.  If  any  State  or  federal  court  presumes  to  ex- 
ercise its  legal  jurisdiction  by  the  trial  of  a  malefactor  without  his  special 
permission,  he  can  break  it  up,  and  punish  the  judges  and  jurors  as  being  them-

eelves  malefactors.  He  can  save  his  frienis  from  justice,  and  despoil  his  ene- 
mies contrary  to  justice. 

It  is  also  provided  that  "he  shall  have  power  to  organize  military  commis- 
Bions  or  trihunals  ;**  but  this  power  he  is  not  commanded  to  exercise.  It  is  merely 
permissive,  and  is  to  be  used  only  "  y^hen  in  his  judgment  it  may  be  necessary 
for  the  trial  of  offenders."  Even  if  the  sentence  of  a  commission  were  made  a 
prerequisite  to  the  punishment  of  a  party,  it  would  be  scarcely  the  slightest 
check  upon  the  officer,  who  has  authority  to  organize  it  as  he  pleases,  prescribe 
its  mode  of  proceeding,  appoint  its  members  from  his  own  subordinates,  and 
revise  all  its  decisions.  Instead  of  mitigating  the  harshness  of  his  single  rule, 
Buch  a  tribunal  would  be  used  much  more  probably  to  divide  the  responsibility 
of  making  it  more  cruel  and  unjust. 

Several  provisions,  dictated  by  the  humanity  of  Congress,  have  been  inserted 
in  the  bill,  apparently  to  restrain  the  power  of  the  commanding  officer ;  but  it 
seems  to  me  that  they  are  of  no  avail  for  that  purpose.     The  fourth  section 

Erovides — First.  That  trials  shall  not  be  unnecessarily  delayed  ;  but  I  think  I 
ave  shown  that  the  power  is  given  to  punish  without  trial ;  and  if  so,  this  pro- 
vision is  practically  inoperative.  Second,  Cruel  or  unusual  punishment  is  not 
to  be  inflicted ;  but  who  is  to  decide  what  is  cruel  and  what  is  unusual  ?  The 
words  have  acquired  a  legal  meaning  by  long  use  in  the  courts.  Can  it  be  ex- 
pected that  military  officers  will  understand  or  follow  a  rule  expressed  in  lan- 
guage so  purely  technical,  and  not  pertaining  in  the  least  degree  to  their  pro- 
fession ]  If  not,  then  each  officer  may  define  cruelty  according  to  his  own 
temper,  and  if  it  is  not  usual,  he  will  make  it  usual.  Corporal  punishment,  impris- 
onment, the  ga^,  the  ball  and  chain,  and  all  the  almost  insupportable  forms  of 
torture  invented  for  military  punishment,  lie  within  the  range  of  choice.  Third. 
The  sentence  of  a  commission  is  not  to  be  executed  without  being  approved  by 
the  commander,  if  it  affects  life  or  liberty,  and  a  sentence  of  death  must  be 
approved  by  the  President.  This  applies  to  cases  in  which  there  has  been  a 
trial  and  sentence.  I  take  it  to  be  clear,  under  this  bill,  that  the  military  tiom- 
mander  may  condemn  to  death,  without  even  the  form  of  a  trial  by  a  military 
commission,  so  that  the  life  of  the  condemned  may  depend  upon  the  will  of  two 
men,  instead  of  one. 

It  is  plain  that  the  authority  here  given  to  the  military  officer  amounts  to 
absolute  despotism.  But,  to  make  it  still  more  unendurable,  the  bill  provides 
that  it  may  be  delegated  to  as  many  subordinates  as  he  chooses  to  appoint ;  for 
it  declares  that  he  shall  "  punish  or  cause  to  be  punished."  Such  a  power  has 
not  been  wielded  by  any  monarch  in  England  for  more  than  ^ve  hundred  years. 
In  all  that  time  no  people  who  speak  the  English  language  have  borne  such 
servitude.  It  reduces  the  whole  population  of  the  ten  States — all  persons,  of 
every  color,  sex,  and  condition,  and  every  stranger  within  their  limits — to  the 
most  abject  and  degrading  slavery.  No  master  ever  had  a  control  so  absolute 
over  the  slaves  as  this  bill  gives  to  the  military  officers  over  both  white  and 
colored  persons. 

It  may  be  answered  to  this  that  the  officers  of  the  army  are  too  magnani- 
mous, just,  and  humane  to  oppress  and  trample  upon  a  subjugated  people.  I 
do  not  doubt  that  army  officers  are  as  well  entitlea  to  this  kind  of  confidence 
as  any  other  class  of  men.  But  the  history  of  the  world  has  been  written  in 
vain,  if  it  does  not  teach  us  that  unrestrained  authority  can  never  be  safely 
trusted  in  human  hands.  It  is  almost  sure  to  be  more  or  less  abused  under  any 
qircumstances,  and  it  has  always  resulted  in  gross  tyranny  where  the  rulers 
who  exercise  it  are  strangers  to  their  subjects,  and  come  among  them  as  the 
representatives  of  a  distant  power,  and  more  especially  when  the  power  that 
sends  them  is  unfriendly.  Governments  closely  resembling  that  here  proposed 
have  been  fairly  tried  in  Hungary  and  Poland,  and  the  suffering  endured  bv 
those  people  roused  the  sympathies  of  the  entire  world.    It  was  tried  in  Ireland,

and,  though  tempered  at  first  by  principles  of  English  law,  it  gave  birth  t^ 
cruelties  so  atrocious  that  they  are  never  recounted  without  just  indignatiot:^ 
The  French  convention  armed  its  deputies  with  this  power,  and  sent  them  t;^ 
the  southern  departments  of  the  republic.  The  massacres,  murders,  and  oth^^ 
atrocities  which  they  committed  show  what  the  passions  of  the  ablest  men  -^ 
the  most  civilized  society  will  tempt  them  to  do  when  wholly  unrestraint^ 
by  law. 

The  men  of  our  race  in  every  age  have  struggled  to  tie  up  the  hands  of  th^^ 
governments  and  keep  them  within  the  law ;  because  their  own  experiences^ 
all  mankind  taught  them  that  rulers  could  not  be  relied  on  to  concede  th  .^^ 
rights  which  they  were  not  legally  bound  to  respect.     The  head  of  a  ^reat  ^^ 
pire  has  sometimes  governed  it  with  a  mild  and  paternal  sway ;  but  the  kv^^ 
ness  of  an  irresponsible  deputy  never  yields  what  the  law  does  not  extort  ^v-o 
him.     Between  such  a  master  and  the  people  subjected  to  his  domination  tt^^'^ 
can  be  nothing  but  enmity ;  he  punishes  them  if  they  resist  his  authority,  ^^i^ 
if  they  submit  to  it,  he  hates  them  for  their  servility.  ' 

I  come  now  to  a  question  which  is,  if  possible,  still  more  important.  5are 
we  the  power  to  establish  and  carry  into  execution  a  measure  like  this  7  j 
answer,  certainly  not,  if  we  derive  our  authority  from  the  Constitution,  and  if 
we  are  bound  by  the  limitations  which  it  imposes. 

This  proposition  is  perfectly  clear — that  no  branch  of  the  federal  govern- 
ment, executive,  legislative,  or  judicial,  can  have  any  just  powers,  except  thoge 
which  it  derives  through  and  exercises  under  the  organic  law  of  the  Union. 
Outside  of  the  Constitution,  we  have  no  legal  authority  more  than  private  citi- 
zens, and  within  it  we  have  only  so  much  as  that  instrument  gives  us.  This 
broad  principle  limits  all  our  functions,  and  applies  to  all  subjects.  It  protects 
not  only  the  citizens  of  States  which  are  within  the  Union,  but  it  shields  every 
human  being  who  comes  or  is  brought  under  our  jurisdiction.  We  have  no 
right  to  do  in  one  place,  more  than  in  another,  that  which  the  Constitution  Bays 
we  shall  not  do  at  all.  If,  therefore,  the  southern  States  were  in  truth  out  of  the 
Union,  we  could  not  treat  their  people  in  a  way  which  the  fundamental  law 
forbids. 

Some  persons  assume  that  the  success  of  our  arms  in  crushing  the  oppoaition 
which  was  made  in  some  of  the  States  to  the  execution  of  the  Federal  lawg, 
reduced  those  States  and  all  their  people — the  innocent  as  well  as  the  guilty— 
to  the  condition  of  vassalage,  and  gave  us  a  power  over  them  which  the  Con- 
stitution does  not  bestow,  or  define,  or  limit.  No  fallacy  can  be  more  trans- 
parent than  this.  Our  victories  subjected  the  insurgents  to  legal  obedience,  not 
to  the  yoke  of  an  arbitrary  despotism.  When  an  absolute  sovereign  reduces  % 
his  rebellious  subjects,  he  may  deal  with  them  according  to  his  pleasure,  be- 
cause he  had  that  power  before.  But  when  a  limited  monarch  puts  down  an 
insunection,  he  must  still  govern  according  to  law.  If  an  insurrection  should 
take  place  in  one  of  our  States  against  the  authority  of  the  State  government, 
and  end  in  the  overthrow  of  those  who  planned  it,  would  that  take  away  the 
rights  of  all  the  people  of  the  counties  where  it  was  favored  by  a  part  or  a 
majority  of  the  population  ?  Could  they,  for  such  a  reason,  be  wholly  out- 
lawed and  deprived  of  their  representation  in  the  legislature  ?  I  have  always 
contended  that  the  government  of  the  United  States  was  sovereign  within  its 
constitutional  sphere ;  that  it  executed  its  laws,  like  the  States  themselves,  by 
applying  its  coercive  power  directly  to  individuals ;  and  that  it  could  put  down 
insurrection  with  the  same  eflfect  as  a  State,  and  no  other.  The  opposite  doc# 
trine  is  the  worst  heresy  of  those  who  advocated  secession,  and  cannot  be  agreed 
to  without  admitting  that  heresy  to  be  right. 

Invasion,  insurrection,  rebellion,  and  domestic  violence  were  anticipated  when 
the  government  was  framed,  and  tlie  meaiift  of  leijellin^  and  suppressing  them 
were  wisely  provided  for  m  the  CoTift\i\\.\x\Ao\i\  \i\i\.\\»'SN^&\i^\.^Q>^'^\»\iR^^^'wr^

to  declare  that  the  States  in  which  they  might  occur  should  be  expelled  from 
the  Union.  Rebellions,  which  were  invariably  suppressed,  occurred  prior  to 
;bat  out  of  which  these  questions  grow ;  but  the  States  continued  to  exist  and 
ube  Union  remained  unbroken.  In  Massachusetts,  in  Pennsylvania,  in  Rhode 
[sland,  and  in  New  York,  at  diflTerent  periods  in  our  history,  violent  and  armed 
opposition  to  the  United  States  was  carried  on  ;  but  the  relations  of  those  States 
writh  the  federal  government  were  not  supposed  to  be  interrupted  or  changed 
thereby,  after  the  rebellious  portions  of  their  population  were  defeated  and  put 
down.  It  is  true  that  in  these  earlier  cases  there  was  no  formal  expression  of  a 
determination  to  withdraw  from  the  Union,  but  it  is  also  true  that  in  the  south- 
em  States  the  ordinances  of  secession  were  treated  by  all  the  friends  of  the 
Union  as  mere  nullities,  and  are  now  acknowledged  to  be  so  by  the  States 
themselves.  If  we  admit  that  they  had  any  force  or  validity,  or  that  they  did 
in  fact  take  the  States  in  which  they  were  passed  out  of  the  Union,  we  sweep 
from  under  our  feet  all  the  grounds  upon  which  we  stand  in  justifying  the  use 
of  federal  force  to  maintain  the  integrity  of  the  government. 

This  is  a  bill  passed  by  Congress  in  time  of  peace.  There  is  not  in  any  one 
of  the  States  brought  under  its  operation  either  war  or  insurrection.  The  laws 
of  the  States  and  of  the  federal  government  are  all  in  undisturbed  and  harmoni- 
ous operation.  The  courts,  State  and  federal,  are  open,  and  in  the  full  exercise  of 
their  proper  authority.  Over  every  State  comprised  in  these  five  military  districts, 
life,  liberty,  and  property  are  secured  by  State  laws  and  federal  laws,  and  the  na- 
tional Constitution  is  everywhere  in  force  and  everywhere  obeyed.  What,  then, 
is  the  ground  on  which  this  bill  proceeds  ?  The  title  of  the  bill  announces  that  it  is 
intended  "  for  the  more  efficient  government "  of  these  ten  States.  It  is  recited  by 
way  of  preamble  that  no  legal  State  governments,  "  nor  adequate  protection  for 
life  or  property,"  exist  in  those  States,  and  that  peace  and  good  order  should 
be  thus  enforced.  The  first  thing  which  arrests  attention  upon  these  recitals, 
which  prepare  the  way  for  martial  law,  is  this — that  the  only  foundation  upon 
which  martial  law  can  exist  under  our  form  of  government  is  not  stated  or  so 
much  as  pretended.  Actual  war,  foreign  invasion,  domestic  insurrection — none 
of  these  appear  ;  and  none  of  these  in  fact  exist.  It  is  not  even  recited  that 
any  sort  of  war  or  insurrection  is  threatened.  Let  us  pause  here  to  consider, 
upon  this  question  of  constitutional  law  and  the  power  of  Congress,  a  recent 
decision  of  the  Supreme  Court  of  the  United  States  in  ex  parte  Milligan. 

I  will  first  quote  from  the  opinion  of  the  majority  of  the  court:  **  Martial  law 
cannot  arise  from  a  threatened  invasion.  The  necessity  must  be  actual  and 
present,  the  invasion  real,  such  as  effectually  closes  the  courts  and  deposes  the 
civil  administration."  We  see  that  martial  law  comes  in  only  when  actual  war 
closes  the  courts  and  deposes  the  civil  authority ;  but  this  bill,  in  time  of  peace, 
makes  martial  law  operate  as  though  we  were  in  actual  war,  and  become  the 
cause,  instead Jof  the  consequence  of  the  abrogation  of  civil  authority.  One  more 
quotation:  "It  follows  from  what  has  been  said  on  this  subject  that  there  are 
occasions  when  martial  law  can  be  properly  applied.  If  in  foreign  invasion  or 
civil  war  the  courts  are  actually  closed,  and  it  is  impossible  to  administer  crimi- 
nal justice  according  to  law,  then^  on  the  theatre  of  active  military  operations, 
where  war  really  prevails,  there  is  a  necessity  to  furnish  a  substitute  for  the 
civil  authority,  thus  overthrown,  to  preserve  the  safety  of  the  army  and  society ; 
and  as  no  power  is  left  but  the  military,  it  is  allowed  to  govern  by  martial  rule 
until  the  laws  can  have  their  free  course." 

I  now  quote  from  the  opinion  of  the  minority  of  the  court,  delivered  by  Chief 
Justice  Chase:  **We  by  no  means  assert  that  Congress  can  establish  and 
apply  the  laws  of  war  where  no  war  has  been  declared  or  exists.  Where  peace 
exists,  the  laws  of  peace  must  prevail."  This  is  sufficiently  explicit.  Peace 
exists  in  all  the  territory  to  which  this  bill  applies.  It  asserts  a  power  in  Con- 
greB3,  in  time  of  peace,  to  Bet  aside  the  laws  of  peace  anilo  «vsL\i^\\\\\.\fcN3a&\^^'^

of  war.  The  minority,  concurring  with  the  majority,  declares  that  Congress 
does  not  possess  that  power.  Again,  and,  if  possible,  more  emphatically,  the 
Chief  Justice,  with  remarkable  clearness  and  condensation,  sums  up  the  whole 
matter  as  follows : 

*' There  ore  under  the  Constitution  three  kinds  of  military  jurisdiction— one  to  be  eier. 
cised  both  in  peace  and  war ;  another  to  be  exercised  in  time  of  foreign  war  withom  the 
boundaries  of  the  United  States,  or  in  time  of  rebellion  and  civil  war  within  States  or  dis- 
tricts occupied  bv  rebels  treated  as  belligerents ;  and  a  third  to  be  exercised  in  time  of  inra- 
sion  or  insurrection  within  the  limits  of  the  United  States,  or  during  rebellion  within  the 
limits  of  the  States  maintaining  adhesion  to  the  national  government,  when  the  pubHe  dan- 
ger requires  its  exercise.  The  first  of  these  maj  be  calleu  jurisdiction  un(}er  military  Uw 
and  is  found  in  acts  of  Congress  prescribing  rules  and  articles  of  war,  or  otherwise  provid' 
log  for  the  government  of  the  national  forces ;  the  second  may  be  distinguished  as  militarr 
government,  superseding,  as  far  as  majr  be  deemed  expedient,  the  local  law,  and  exercised 
by  the  military  commander  under  the  direction  of  the  President,  with  the  express  or  implied 
sanction  of  Congress ;  while  the  third  may  be  denominated  martial  law  proper,  and  is  called 
into  action  bv  Congress,  or  temporarily,  when  the  action  of  Congress  cannot  be  invited,  and 
in  the  cose  of  justitying  or  excusing  peril,  by  the  President,  in  times  of  insurrection  or  inva- 
sion or  of  civil  or  foreign  war,  withm  districts  or  localities  where  ordinary  law  no  longer  ad* 
equately  secures  public  safety  and  private  rights." 

It  will  be  observed  that  of  the  three  kinds  of  military  jurisdiction  which  can 
be  exercised  or  created  under  our  Constitution,  there  is  but  one  that  can  prevail 
in  time  of  peace,  and  that  is  the  code  of  laws  enacted  by  Congress  for  the  gov- 
ernment of  the  national  forces.  That  body  of  military  law  has  no  application 
to  the  citizen,  nor  even  to  the  citizen  soldier  enrolled  in  the  militia  in  time  of 
peace.  But  this  bill  is  not  a  part  of  that  sort  of  military  law,  for  that  applies 
only  to  the  soldier  and  not  to  the  citizen,  whilst,  contrariwise,  the  military  law 
provided  by  this  bill  applies  only  to  the  citizen  and  not  to  the  soldier. 

I  need  not  say  to  the  representatives  of  the  American  people  that  their  Con- 
stitution forbids  the  exercise  of  judicial  power  in  any  way  but  one — that  is  by 
the  ordained  and  established  courts.     It  is  equally  well  known  that  in  all  crimi- 
nal cases  a  trial  by  jury  is  made  indispensable  by  the  express  words  of  that  in- 
strument.    I  will  not  enlarge  on  the  inestimable  value  of  the  right.thus  secured 
to  every  freeman,  or  speak  of  the  danger  to  public  liberty  in  all  parts  of  the 
country  which  must  ensue  from  a  denial  of  it  anywhere  or  upon  any  pretence. 
A  very  recent  decision  of  the  Supreme  Court  has  traced  the  history,  vindicated 
the  dignity,  and  made  known  the  value  of  this  great  privilege  so  clearly  that 
nothing  more  is  needed.     To  what  extent  a  violation  of  it  might  be  excused  in 
time  of  war  or  public  danger  may  admit  of  discussion,  but  we  are  providing  now 
for  a  time  of  profound  peace,  where  there  is  not  an  armed  soldier  within  our 
borrlers  except  those  who  are  in  the  service  of  the  government.     It  is  in  such  a 
condition  of  things  that  an  act  of  Congress  is  proposed  which,  if  carried  out, 
would  deny  a  trial  by  the  lawful  courts  and  juries  to  nine  millions  of  American 
citizens,  and  to  their  posterity  for  an  indefinite  period.     It  seems  to  be  scarcely 
possible  that  any  one  should  seriously  believe  this  consistent  with  a  Constitution 
which  declares,  in  simple,  plain,  and  unambiguous  language,  that  all  persons 
shall  have  that  right,  and  that  no  person  shall  ever  in  any  case  be  deprived  of 
it.     The  Constitution  also  forbids  the  arrest  of  the  citizen  without  judicial  war- 
rant, founded  on  probable  cause.     This  bill  authorizes  an  arrest  without  war- 
rant, at  the  pleasure  of  a  military  commander.     The  Constitution  declares  that 
"no  person  shall  be  held  to  answer  for  a  capital  or  otherwise  infamous  crime 
unless  on  presentment  by  a  grand  jury."     This  bill  holds  every  person,  not  a 
soldier,  answerable  for  all  crimes  and  all  charges  without  any  presentment. 
The  Constitution  declares  that  "no  person  shall  be  deprived  of  life,  liberty, or 
property  without  due  process  of  law."     This  bill  sets  aside  all  process  of  law, 
and  makes  the  citizen  answerable  in  his  person  and  property  to  the  will  of  one 
man,  and  as  to  his  life  to  the  will  of  two.     Finally,  the  Constitution  declares 
that  "  the  privilege  of  the  writ  of  ^a6ea8  corpus  «Lhall  not  be  afisjjended  unless

when,  in  case  of  rebellion  or  invasion,  the  public  safetj  may  require  it;"  whereas 
this  bill  declares  martial  law  (which  of  itself  suspends  this  great  writ)  in  time 
of  peace,  and  authorizes  the  military  to  make  the  arrest,  and  gives  to  the  pris- 
oner only  one  privilege,  and  that  is  a  trial  "  without  unnecessary  delay.^  He 
has  no  hope  of  release  from  custody,  except  the  hope,  such  as  it  is,  of  release 
by  acquittal  before  a  military  commission. 

The  United  States  are  bound  to  guarantee  to  each  State  a  republican  form  of 
government.  Can  it  be  pretended  that  this  obligation  is  not  palpably  broken 
if  we  carry  out  a  measure  like  this,  which  wipes  away  every  vestige  of  repub- 
lican government  in  ten  States,  and  puts  the  life,  property,  liberty,  and  honor 
of  all  the  people  in  each  of  them  under  the  domination  of  a  single  person  clothed 
with  unlimited  authority  ? 

The  Parliament  of  England,  exercising  the  omnipotent  power  which  it  claimed, 
was  accustomed  to  pass  bills  of  attainder ;  that  is  to  say,  it  would  convict  men 
of  treason  and  other  crimes  by  legislative  enactment.  The  person  accused  had 
a  hearing,  sometimes  a  patient  and  fair  one;  but  generally  party  prejudice 
prevailed,  instead  of  justice.  It  often  became  necessary  for  Parliament  to 
acknowledge  its  error  and  reverse  its  own  action.  The  fathers  of  our  coun- 
try determined  that  no  such  thing  should  occur  here.  They  withheld  the  power 
from  Congress,  and  thus  forbade  its  exercise  by  that  body;  and  they  provided 
in  the  Constitution  that  no  State  should  pass  any  bill  of  attainder.  It  is,  there- 
fore, impossible  for  any  person  in  this  country  to  be  constitutionally  convicted 
or  punished  for  any  crime  by  a  legislative  proceeding  of  any  sort.  Neverthe- 
less, here  is  a  bill  of  attainder  against  nine  millions  of  people  at  once.  It  is 
based  upon  an  accusation  so  vague  as  to  be  scarcely  intelligible,  and  found  to 
be  true  upon  no  credible  evidence.  Not  one  of  the  nine  millions  was  heard  in 
his  own  defence.  The  representatives  of  the  doomed  parties  weie  excluded 
from  all  participation  in  the  trial.  The  conviction  is  to  be  followed  by  the  most 
ignominious  punishment  ever  inflicted  on  large  masses  of  men.  It  disfranchises 
them  by  hundreds  of  thousands,  and  degrades  them  all — even  those  who  ai-e 
admitted  to  be  guiltless — from  the  rank  of  freemen  to  the  condition  of  slaves. 

The  purpose  and  object  of  the  bill — the  general  intent  which  pervades  it 
from  beginning  to  end — is  to  change  the  entire  structure  and  character  of  the 
State  governments,  and  to  compel  them  by  force  to  the  adoption  of  organic  laws 
and  regulations  which  they  are  unwilling  to  accept,  if  left  to  themselves.  The 
negroes  have  not  asked  for  the  privilege  of  voting — the  vast  majority  of  them 
have  nojdea  what  it  means.  This  bill  not  only  thrusts  it  into  their  hands,  but 
compels  them,  as  well  as  the  whites,  to  use  \t  in  a  particular  way.  If  they  do 
not  form  a  constitution  with  prescribed  articles  in  it,  and  afterwards  elect  a 
legislature  which  will  act  upon  certain  measures  in  a  prescribed  way,  neither 
blacks  nor  whites  can  be  relieved  from  the  slavery  which  the  bill  imposes  upon 
them.  Without  pausing  here  to  consider  the  policy  or  impolicy  of  Africanizing 
the  southern  part  of  our  territory,  I  would  simply  ask  the  attention  of  Congress 
to  that  manifest,  well-known,  and  universally  acknowledged  rule  of  constitu- 
tional law,  which  declares  that  the  federal  government  has  no  jurisdiction,  au- 
thority, or  power  to  regulate  such  subjects  for  any  State.  To  force  the  right 
of  suffrage  out  of  the  hands  of  the  white  people  and  into  the  hands  of  the  ne- 
groes is  an  arbitrary  violation  of  this  principle. 

This  bill  imposes  martial  law  at  once,  and  its  operations  will  begin  so  soon 
as  the  general  and  his  troops  can  be  put  in  place.  The  dread  alternative  be- 
tween its  harsh  rule  and  compliance  with  the  terms  of  this  measure  is  not  sus- 
pended, nor  are  the  people  afforded  any  time  for  free  deliberation.  The  bill 
says  to  them,  take  martial  law  first,  then  deliberate.  And  when  they  have 
done  all  that  this  measure  requires  them  to  do,  other  conditions  and  contingen- 
cies, over  which  they  have  no  control,  yet  remain  to  be  fulfilled  before  they  can 
be  relieved  irom  martial  Jaw.    Another  Congveaa  mual  &c^\.  «c^y^q>n^  >i\R»  ^JSJKisi^-

tution  made  in  coDformity  with  the  will  of  this  Congress,  and  must  declare 
these  States  entitled  to  representation  in  both  houses.  The  whole  question 
thus  remains  open  and  unsettled,  and  must  again  occupy  the  attention  of  Con- 
gress ;  and  in  the  mean  time  the  agitation  which  now  prevails  will  continue  to 
disturb  all  portions  of  the  people. 

The  bill  also  denies  the  legality  of  the  governments  of  ten  of  the  States 
which  participated  in  the  ratification  of  the  amendment  to  the  federal  Constitu- 
tion abolishing  slavery  forever  within  the  jurisdiction  of  the  United  States,  and 
practically  excludes  them  from  the  Union.  If  this  assumption  of  the  bill  be 
correct,  their  concurrence  cannot  be  considered  as  having  been  legally  given, 
and  the  important  fact  is  made  to  appear  that  the  consent  of  three-fourths  of 
the  States — the  requisite  number — ^has  not  been  constitutionally  obtained  to  the 
ratification  of  that  amendment,  thus  leaving  the  question  of  slavery  where  it 
stood  before  the  amendment  was  officially  declared  to  have  become  a  part  of  the 
Constitution. 

That  the  measure  proposed  by  this  bill  does  violate  the  Constitution  in  the 
particulars  mentioned,  and  in  manv  other  ways  which  I  forbear  to  enumerate, 
is  too  clear  to  admit  of  the  least  doubt.  It  only  remains  to  consider  whether 
the  injunctions  of  that  instrument  ought  to  be  obeyed  or  not.  I  think  they 
ought  to  be  obeyed,  for  reasons  which  I  will  proceed  to  give  as  briefly  as  pos- 
sible. 

In  the  first  place,  it  is  the  only  system  of  free  government  which  we  can  hope 
to  have  as  a  nation.  When  it  ceases  to  be  the  rule  of  our  conduct,  we  may 
perhaps  take  our  choice  between  complete  anarchy,  a  consolidated  despotism, 
and  a  total  dissolution  of  the  Union ;  but  national  liberty,  regulated  by  law, 
will  have  passed  beyond  our  reach. 

It  is  the  best  frame  of  government  the  world  ever  saw.  No  other  is  or  can 
be  so  well  adapted  to  the  genius,  habits,  or  wants  of  the  American  people. 
Combining  the  strength  of  a  great  empire  with  unspeakable  blessings  of  local 
self-government,  having  a  central  power  to  defend  the  general  interests,  and 
recognizing  the  authority  of  the  States  as  the  guardians  of  industrial  rights,  it 
is  "  the  sheet-anchor  of  our  safety  abraad  and  our  peace  at  home."  It  was 
ordained  **  to  form  a  more  perfect  union,  establish  justice,  insure  domestic  tran- 
quillity, promote  the  general  welfare,  provide  for  the  common  defence,  and 
secure  the  blessings  of  liberty  to  ourselves  and  to  our  posterity."  These  great 
ends  have  been  attained  heretofore,  and  will  be  again,  by  faithful  obedience  to 
it;  but  they  are  certain  to  be  lost  if  we  treat  with  disregard  its  sacrei^  obliga- 
tions. 

It  was  to  punish  the  gross  crime  of  defying  the  Constitution,  and  to  vindicate 
its  supreme  authority,  that  we  carried  on  a  bloody  war  of  four  years*  duration. 
Shall  we  now  acknowledge  that  we  sacrificed  a  million  of  lives  and  expended 
billions  of  treasure  to  enforce  a  Constitution  which  is  not  worthy  of  respect  and 
preservation  ? 

Those  who  advocated  the  right  of  secession  alleged  in  their  own  justification 
that  we  had  no  regard  for  law,  and  that  their  rights  of  property,  life,  and  liberty 
would  not  be  safe  under  the  Constitution  as  administered  by  us.  If  we  now 
verify  their  assertion,  we  prove  that  they  were  in  truth  and  in  fact  fighting  for 
their  liberty,  and  instead  of  branding  their  leaders  with  the  dishonoring  name 
of  traitors  against  a  righteous  and  legal  government,  we  elevate  them  in  history 
to  the  rank  of  self-sacrificing  patriots,  consecrate  them  to  the  admiration  of  the 
world,  and  place  them  by  the  side  of  Washington,  Hampden,  and  Sydney. 
No,  let  us  leave  them  to  the  infamy  they  deserve,  punish  them  as  they  shonld 
be  punished,  according  to  law,  and  take  upon  ourselves  no  share  of  the  odium 
which  they  should  bear  alone. 

It  is  a  part  of  our  public  history  which  can  never  be  forgotten  that  both

that  tke  war  was  and  should  he  carried  on  for  no  purpose  of  suhjugationt  hat 
solely  to  enforce  the  Constitution  and  laws ;  and  that  when  this  was  yielded 
hj  the  parties  in  rehellion,  the  contest  should  cease,  with  the  constitutional 
rights  of  the  States  and  of  individuals  unimpaired.  This  resolution  was  adopted 
and  sent  forth  to  the  world  unanimously  hy  the  Senate,  and  with  only  two  dis- 
senting voices  in  the  House.  It  was  accepted  by  the  friends  of  the  Union  in 
the  south,  as  well  as  in  the  north,  as  expressing  honestly  and  truly  the  object 
of  the  war.  On  the  faith  of  it  many  thousands  of  persons  in  both  sections  gave 
their  lives  and  their  fortunes  to  the  cause.  To  repudiate  it  now,  by  refusing 
to  the  States  and  to  the  individuals  within  them  the  rights  which  the  Constitu- 
tion and  laws  of  the  Union  would  secure  to  them,  is  a  breach  of  our  plighted 
honor  for  which  I  can  imagine  no  excuse,  and  to  which  I  cannot  voluntarily 
become  a  party. 

The  evils  which  spring  from  the  unsettled  state  of  our  government  will  be 
acknowledged  by  all.  Commercial  intercourse  is  impeded,  capital  is  in  con- 
stant peril,  public  securities  fluctuate  in  value,  peace  itself  is  not  secure,  and  the 
sense  of  moral  and  political  duty  is  impaired.  To  avert  these  calamities  from 
our  country,  it  is  imperatively  required  that  we  should  immediately  decide  upon 
some  course  of  administration  which  can  be  steadfastly  adhered  to.  I  am 
thoroughly  convinced  that  any  settlement,  or  compromise,  or  plan  of  action 
which  is  inconsistent  with  the  principles  of  the  Constitution  will  not  only  be 
unavailing  but  mischievous ;  that  it  will  but  multiply  the  present  evils,  instead 
of  removing  them.  The  Constitution,  in  its  whole  integrity  and  vigor,  through- 
out the  length  and  breadth  of  the  land,  is  the  best  of  all  compromises.  Besides, 
our  duty  does  not,  in  my  judgment,  leave  us  a  choice  between  that  and  any 
other.  I  believe  that  it  contains  the  remedy  that  is  so  much  needed,  and  that 
if  the  co-ordinate  branches  of  the  government  would  unite  upon  its  provisions, 
they  would  be  found  broad  enough  and  strong  enough  to  sustain  in  time  of 
peace  the  nation  which  they  bore  safely  through  the  ordeal  of  a  protracted  civil 
war.  Among  the  most  sacred  guarantees  of  that  instrument  are  those  which 
declare  that  "  each  State  shall  have  at  least  one  representative,"  and  that  "  no 
State,  without  its  consent,  shall  be  deprived  of  its  equal  suffrage  in  the  Senate." 
£ach  house  is  made  the  "judge  of  the  elections,  returns,  and  qualifications  of 
its  own  members,"  and  may,  "  with  the  concurrence  of  two-thirds,  expel  a  mem- 
ber." Thus,  as  heretofore  urged,  "  in  the  admission  of  senators  and  representa- 
tives from  any  and  all  of  the  States,  there  can  be  no  just  ground  of  apprehen- 
Bion  that  persons  who  are  disloyal  will  be  clothed  with  the  powers  of  legisla- 
tion ;  for  this  could  not  happen  when  the  Constitution  and  the  laws  are  enforced 
by  a  vigilant  and  faithful  Congress."  "  When  a  senator  or  representative  pre- 
sents his  certificate  of  election,  he  may  at  once  be  admitted  or  rejected ;  or, 
should  there  be  any  question  as  to  his  eligibility,  his  credentials  may  be  referred 
for  investigation  to  the  appropriate  committee.  If  admitted  to  a  seat,  it  must 
be  upon  evidence  satisfactory  to  the  house  of  which  he  thus  becomes  a  member 
that  he  possesses  the  requisite  constitutional  and  legal  qualifications.  If  refused 
admission  as  a  member  for  want  of  due  allegiance  to  the  government,  and  returned 
to  his  constituents,  they  are  admonished  that  none  but  persons  loyal  to  the 
United  States  will  be  allowed  a  voice  in  the  legislative  councils  of  the  nation, 
and  the  political  power  and  moral  influence  of  Congress  are  thus  effectively 
exerted  in  the  interests  of  loyalty  to  the  government  and  fidelity  to  the  Union." 
And  is  it  not  far  better  that  the  work  of  restoration  should  be  accomplished  by  sim- 
ple compliance  with  the  plain  requirements  of  the  Constitution  than  by  a  recourse 
to  measures  which  in  effect  destroy  the  States  and  threaten  the  subversion  of 
the  general  government  ?  All  that  is  necessary  to  settle  this  simple  but  import- 
ant question,  without  further  agitation  or  delay,  is  a  willingness  on  the  part  of 
all  to  sustain  the  Constitution  and  carry  its  provisions  into  practical  operation.

tion  of  their  credentials,  members  constitutionally  elected  and  loyal  to  tbe  general 
government  would  be  admitted  to  seats  in  Congress,  while  all  others  would  be 
excluded,  and  their  places  remain  vacaut  until  the  selection  by  the  people  of 
loyal  and  qualified  persons ;  and  if,  at  the  same  time,  assurance  were  given 
that  this  policy  would  be  continued  until  all  the  States  were  represented  in 
Congress,  it  would  send  a  thrill  of  joy  throughout  the  entire  land,  as  indicating 
the  inauguration  of  a  system  which  must  speedily  bring  tranquillity  to  the  pub- 
lic mind. 

While  we  are  legislating  upon  subjects  which  are  of  great  importance  to  the 
whole  people,  and  which  must  affect  all  parts  of  the  country,  not  only  during 
the  life  of  the  present  generation,  but  for  ages  to  come,  we  should  remember 
that  all  men  are  entitled  at  least  to  a  hearing  in  the  councils  which  decide  upon 
the  destiny  of  themselves  and  their  children.  At  present  ten  States  are  denied 
representation,  and  when  the  fortieth  Congress  assembles  9n  the  fourth  day  of 
the  present  month  sixteen  States  will  be  without  a  voice  in  the  House  of  Rep- 
resentatives. This  grave  fact,  with  the  important  questions  before  us,  should 
induce  us  to  pause  in  a  course  of  legislation  which,  looking  solely  to  the  attain- 
ment of  political  ends,  fails  to  consider  the  rights  it  transgresses,  the  law  i^Lidi 
it  violates,  or  the  institutions  which  it  imperils.

When 

Mr.  Blaine  moved  that  the  rules  be  suspended,  so  that  the  House  shall  im. 
mediately  proceed  to  vote  on  the  question  as  required  by  the  Constitution,  Will 
the  House,  on  reconsideration,  agree  to  the  passage  of  House  bill  No.  1143,  the 
President's  objections  to  the  contrary  notwithstanding  f 

Pending  which, 

Mr.  Finck  proposed  to  move  that  the  House  take  a  recess. 

The  Speaker  decided  that  the  motion  for  a  recess  was  not  in  order,  as  tlie 
motion  previously  made  was  a  motion  to  suspend  all  the  rules  in  the  way  of  an 
immediate  vote  upon  the  pending  bill,  and  oeing  entitled  to  priority,  must  be 
first  voted  upon. 

From  this  decision  of  the  chair  Mr.  Finck  appealed.

Mar.  2,  1867.]        HOUSE  OF  REPRESENTATIVES.  623 

cordially  supported  by  those  of  all  political  creeds,  amid  the  exciting  scenes  so 
frequent  in  a  body  of  American  legislators,  is  an  evidence  of  confidence  and 
regard  J  shall  prize  to  the  latest  moment  of  my  life.  But  to  be  indorsed  by 
you  all  in  the  resolution  you  have  spread  on  your  Journal,  and  which  you 
have  adopted  with  such  unusual  significance  and  earnestness,  beggars  me  in 
words  of  thanks.  To  be  able  to  retire  from  this  chair  when  laying  down  its 
emblem  of  authority,  with  none  to  reproach  me,  on  the  one  hand,  for  infidelity 
to  the  principles  I  cherish,  and  none  on  the  other  to  impugn  or  deny  the  rigid 
impartiality  with  which  I  have  striven  to  administer  your  rules,  has  been  my 
earnest  and  daily  endeavor  in  the  years  that  now  are  garnered  with  the  past. 

The  greatest  of  my  official  predecessors,  whose  memory  is  still  enshrined  in 
BO  many  hearts,  and  who  eminently  honored  this  chair,  declared  as  the  essential 
of  a  presiding  officer  promptitude  and  impartiality  in  deciding  the  complex 
questions  of  order  often  sprung  instantaneously  upon  him;  firmness  and 
thoroughness  in  his  decisions;  patience  and  good  temper  toward  every  member; 
and,  above  all,  to  remain  cool  and  unshaken  amid  the  storms  of  debate  and 
daring  those  moments  of  agitation  from  which  no  deliberative  assembly  is  exempt, 
carefully  guarding  the  rules  of  the  House  from  being  sacrificed  to  temporary 
passions,  prejudices,  or  interests.  Never  hoping  to  reach  this  high  standard,  it 
nas  been  ever  before  my  mind,  as  the  sculptor  studies  the  model  of  the  great 
master  of  his  art,  hoping  to  leave  behind  him  a  copy  not  entirely  unworthy  of 
the  original. 

Though  death  has  not  spared  our  circle,  and  New  York,  Kentucky,  and 
Pennsylvania  have  been  called  to  mourn  the  loss  of  faithful  representatives,  we 
come  to  this  closing  hour  with  our  ranks  thinned  less  than  usual  by  paralyzing 
sickness  or  wasting  disease.  We'  separate,  after  months  of  the  conflicts  and 
excitements  of  an  eventful  era,  with  a  general  good  will  as  gratifying  as  it  is 
creditable.  We  can  never  all  meet  again.  But  as  in  a  distant  landscape  the 
eye  rests  with  delight  on  its  beauties,  while  its  defects  are  thrown  into 
unnoticed  shade,  may  memory,  as  in  after  years  we  review  our  associations  here, 
bring  before  us  all  the  pleasures  of  this  companionship  in  the  national  service, 
forgetful  of  the  asperities  which  should  perisn  with  the  occasions  that  evoked 
them ! 

But  as  these  parting  words  are  said,  another  Congress  wait  for  our  seats ; 
and  with  a  heart  full  of  gratitude  for  your  unvarying  kindness,  I  declare  the 
House  of  Representatives  of  the  thirty-ninth  Congress  of  the  United  States 
adjourned  witnout  day.

QUESTIONS  OF  ORDER, 

DECIDED  BY  THE  SPEAKER  AT  THE  SECOND  SESSION  OF  THE  THIRTY 

NINTH  CONGRESS. 


SCHUYLER  COLFAX,  OF  INDIANA,  SPEAKER. 
1__ 

MONDAY,  January  14,  1867.— Pages  163,  164. 

The  Speaker  announced,  as  the  business  next  in  order,  the  resolution  sub- 
mitted on  Monday  last  by  Mr.  Kelso  in  regard  to  the  impeachment  of  the  Presi- 
dent, the  pending  question  being  on  the  demand  for  the  previous  question. 

Mr.  Kelso  having  withdrawn  the  said  demand, 

Mr.  Loan  proceeded  to  debate  the  baid  resolution ; 

When 

Mr.  Hale  called  him  to  order  for  the  following  words  spoken  in  debate,  viz : 

**The  crime  was  committed.  The  way  was  made  clear  for  the  succession; 
an  assassin's  bullet,  wielded  and  directed  by  rebel  hand  and  paid  for  by  rebel 
gold,  made  Andrew  Johnson  President  of  the  United  States  of  America.  The 
price  that  he  was  to  pay  for  his  promotion  was  treachery  to  the  republic  and 
fidelity  to  the  party  of  treason  and  rebellion." 

The  Speaker  stated  that  inasmuch  as  the  Constitution  authorizes  the  removal 
from  office  of  the  President  **  on  impeachment  for,  and  conviction  of,  treason, 
bribery,  or  other  high  crimes  and  misdemeanors,''  and  also  provides  that  articles 
of  impeachment  must  be  found  by  the  House,  and  as  the  pending  resolution 
contains  a  general  charge  against  the  President  of  crimes  and  misdemeanors, 
for  which  it  is  declared  he  should  be  impeached,  it  was  competent  in  the  dis- 
cussion of  the  resolution  for  the  gentleman  from  Missouri  (Mr.  Loan)  to  specify 
any  one  of  such  charges.     He  therefore  overruled  the  point  of  order. 

From  this  decision  of  the  Chair  Mr.  Henry  D.  Washburn  appealed. 

Pending  which, 

On  motion  of  Mr.  Thayer,  the  appeal  was  laid  on  the  table. 

TUESDAY,  January  22,  1867.— Pages  228,  229. 

Mr.  Trimble  rose  and  proposed  as  a  question  of  privilege  to  call  attention  to 
a  report  of  the  associated  press  of  remarks  made  by  him  in  the  House. 

The  Speaker  decided  that  the  gentleman  from  Kentucky  was  out  of  order, 
on  the  ground  that  no  question  of  privilege  was  involved  in  such  a  report,  and 
that  even  if  such  was  tne  case  it  could  not  be  entertained  at  this  time  owing  to 
the  pendency  of  the  motion  to  lay  the  bill  on  the  table. 

From  this  decision  of*  the  Chair  Mr.  Finck  appealed. 

Pending  which, 

Mr.  Ancona  moved  that  the  appeal  be  laid  on  the  table. 

And  the  question  being  put, 

(Yeas 113 

And  it  was  decided  in  the  affirmative,  <  Nay 1 

(  Not  voting 77 

So  the  appeal  waa  laid  on  the  table. 


648  APPENDIX. 

f 

SATURDAY,  March  2,  1867.—  Pages  572,  573. 

Mr.  Blaine  moved  that  the  rules  be  suspended,  so  that  the  House  shall  im- 
mediately proceed  to  vote  on  the  question  as  required  by  the  Constitution,  Will 
the  House,  on  reconsideration,  agree  to  the  passage  of  House  bill  No.  1143,  the 
President's  objections  to  the  contrary  notwithstanding  ? 

Pending  which, 

Mr.  Finck  proposed  to  move  that  the  House  take  a  recess. 

The  Speaker  decided  that  the  motion  for  a  recess  was  not  in  order,  as  th^^^ 
motion  previously  made  was  a  motion  to  suspend  all  the  rules  in  the  way  of  a>^^ 
immediate  vote  upon  the  pending  bill,  and  oeing  entitled  to  priority,  must  t:::^^ 
first  voted  upon.  •  ^"-^^ 

From  this  decision  of  the  Chair,  Mr.  Finck  appealed. 

And  the  question  being  put,  Shall  the  decision  of  the  Chair  stand  as  the  jw^^::, 
ment  of  the  House  ?  ^"^S^* 

^Yeas ^fc-9 

It  was  decided  in  the  aflSrmative,  <  Nays '^ 

(  Not  voting j 

So  the  decision  of  the  Chair  was  sustained.  *
