WAsniKOTON, March 27, 1886.
To the Sftinfe of the Unftd State:
1 regret that the bill wliicn ba pas-cd both Hounes
of Congress, entitled "An act lo protect all persons
in the tinted Males in their civil rights, and lumlsa
tLe means of tlicir vli.dicuiioii," contains provisions
wsich J can d (it appiove consistently with my smiso
ot duly to Iho whole people, and my obligations to
the Constitution ol the I'uttod Mates.
I am. then lore, constrained to return It to tho
Senate, tho Hou-e In which it originated, with iny
objections to it' becoming a law. Hy the first soc
tion 01 the t'l 1 all persons born in the United States,
atid not subject to any toreisn power, excluding ln
d ans Lot taxed, are declared to be citizens oi the
United States. trur provision comprehends tho
Chines of the Pacific Stales, Indians subject to tax
ation, the people culled Uipxies, as well as the on.
tire rate cetdgnnted as blacks, people of color, ne
jrroct, mnlttitoes, and persons ol Airican blood.
Every ,ndvidiitti oi these races born in Urn United
Mates is liy the bill uiado a citizen of the Untied
Mates. It docs not purpose to declare or oonlor
any other richt ot citizenship than "Federal citi
zenship.' it does not purport to civo theso
cias-escf persons any statu as citizens of States,
exotpt that which may result Horn thoir st'itus as
citizens of the Lmled Males. 'J he power to confer
the ngnt of State citizenship Isjusias exclusively
with the several States as the power to confer tho
yiglit of Federal citizenship is with Congress. The
light ot Federal citizenship thus to bo ounferrvd
n tho several excepted races before mentioned,
is cow ior the first time proposed to be given by
Jaw. If, as is cla med by many, all persons who
are native born already are by virtue of the Con
stitution citizens of the United Stales, tho paMoiro
of the lending bill cannot be necessary to make
tbcin tucli. It, on tho other liana, such pei sons are
not citizens, as may be assumed trom the proposod
legislation to make thorn such, tho grave question
presents itself whether, when cloven of tbo tuirly
six Mates are unrepresented in Coujjross at this
time, it is sound policy to moke our oi.tiro coloiod
population, and all other excepted classes, citizens
ot the United Estates, lour millions ot them have
just emerged from slavery ieto freedom. Can it be
reasonably supposed that they possess the requisite
qualifications to entitle them to ull tho pnvi eges
and immunities ot citizens of tbo United Jstatnif
llave the people of the seveial States expressed such
a conviction? It may a so tie asked wnetherit is
necessary that they should bo declared citizens in
order that they may be secured In tbe enjoy monc of
the civil rights pioposed to bo confi rrod bv the Dill F
Iheso rights are by Federal as well as Slate law
ecured to all domiciled aliens and lireiirners, even
be lore the completion ot tho process of naturaliza
tion; and it may ratolv bo assumed that the samu
enactments. are nufBc ent to givo IfKe protection and
Leneiits to those lor whom this bill provides special
legislation,
Besides, the policy of tho Government, from its
origin to tho present time, seems to have been that
persous who aie strangers to, and unfamiliar witn
our institutions ana our laws, should pass through a
certain piobatlon, at the CJd ot which, botore attain
inf the cove ed privclege, they must give evidence of
their fitness to receive and to exercise tho rivhts of
citizens as contemplated by the Constitution of tho
United Mates.
The bill in effect proposes a discrimination a?ninst
large numbers of intelligent, worthy, and patriotic
toreigners, and in lavor oi the negro to whom, alter
long years ot bondage, tho aveoues ot lreedom and
Intelligence fcave just now been suddeuly opened,
lie must ot necessity, trom his previous unfortunate
condition ol servitude, bo less iuioimed as to the
nature and character of our institutions than he
Who, coming lrora abroad, has to some extent, at
least, lamiliar zed himself wuh the principles of
a Ciovernnient to which he volunlunly entiusts
lite, liberty, and the pursuit nf happiness. Yet it
Is now proposod, bv a single iegis.ative enact
jneut, to confer the rights of citizoos upon all per
sons of African descent Lorn within the extendod
limits of the United States, while persous of loroiga
L-irth, who make our ltnd their home, must un
dergo a probation ot five years, and can only then
iiecomo citizens upon proof that they aro of good
moral character, attached to the principles ot tbo
Constitution of the United States, and well disposed
to the good order and happiness ot tho same. Tho
11 ret section of the bill also contains an enumeration
oi the rights to be enjoyed by these c asses n made
citizens in every State and Territory oi trm United
states. 'Ihcee rights aie to make and enforce con
tracts, to sue, be parties, and give evidence, to in
Lent, purchase, lease, sell, hold, and convey real
end personal property, and lo havo full and equal
Jjcnint of all laws and proceedings lor the security
ol person and property as is now enjoyed by white
Citizens. So, too, tbey are made subject to the sumo
linnishmcnt, pains, and pcuauios in common with
white citizens aud to none otheis Thus a porteot
vquanty ol the white and colored races Is attempted
to be fixed by Federal law in every State ot the
Union over the vast field ot State jurisdiction
levered by these enumerated rights. In no one of
these con any State ever exercise any power of dis
crimination between the tlilt'oreiit races. In the
exercise of Stale policy over matters exclusively
aflecling the people of each State, it has frequently
lieeu thought expedient to discriminate botwecn the
two raoes.
By the statutes of sonn of the Statos, Northern as
well as Southern, it is enacted, ior instance, that no
white person shall intermany with a negro or mu
Jatto. Chancellor Kent says, speaking ot the blacks,
"that marriages between them aud the whites are
forbidden in some ot the Mutes where slavery does
not exist, and tbey are prohibited in all the slave
lioldliig Mutes; and when not absolutely contrary to
law, they are tevolting, and regarded as an ouunse
against public decorum," I do not say that this
bill repeals State laws on the subject of marriage
between tbo two races, for as the whites are ior
t Odtn to intermarry with the blacks, the blacks
can only make such contracts as tho whites them
selves are allowed to make, and thcreloro cannot.
under this bill, enter into tho marriage contract
with the whites. 1 cite th s discrimination, bow
ever, as an instance of the Stato policy as to div
crimination, and to inquire whether, if Congress
can abrogate all State laws of discrimination be
tween the two raoes in the matter ot real estate, ot
auits, and ot contracts generally, Congress may not
also tepeol the State laws as to the contract of mar
liage between the two races f Hitherto every subject
embraced in the enumeration of rights contained in
this bid has been considered as exclusively belong
ing to tho States ; they all relate to the internal policy
and economy of tbo respective Statos. They ore
matters which, in each State, concern the domestlo
condition ot its people, varying in each according to
its own peculiar circumstances and Uie safety and
Weil-being oi its own citizens.
I do not mean to say that upon all these subjects
lbere ore not Fodoral restraints. As, lor instanoe,
In the Stato power ol legislation over contracts
there is a Federal limitation that no State shall pa-s
law impairing the obligations of contracts ; aud as
to crimes, that no Stale Bhall pass an ex poet
facto law; to money, that no Slate shall make
anything but gold and silver a legal .tender,
dint where can we find a Federal prohibition
against the power of any State to discriminate as
no nwsi oi tuein, between aliens and citizens, bo
tween artificial persons, cal'ed corporations, and
national persons, iu the right to hold real estate.
It it be granted that Congress can repeal all Mate
laws discriminating between whites and blacks
in the subjects , covered by this bill, why, it
may be asked, may not Congress repeal In
the Mine way all thoflo laws discriminating be
tween the two raoes on the subject of suffrage and
citlicef It Congress can declare by law who filial
jioid lands, wno man testily, who shall bave capa
city to make a contract in a State, then Congress
ean by law also declare who, without regard to race
or color, shall have the right to sit as a juror or as a
juoge, io noia any uuice, ana nuauy to roto, in
very State and territory or the United States. As
respects the territories, they cotoe within the powor
ol Congress, lor as to them the law-making power
Is the Federal power; but as to the states, no simi
lar provision exists, ve-tiug in Congress the power
lo make rules and regulations lor them.
'I he object ol the second section of the hill Is in
' afford discriminative protection te- colored persons
' in the full enjoyment of all the rights seoured to
them, liy tbe preceding section il declares that
"any person who, uuder color of anv law statute,
v ordinance, regulation, or custom, shall sublet, or
' cause to be subjected, anv Inhabitant of any httte or
Territory to the deprivation of any right secured or
nrotected by this act, or to different puuishtnnnt.
pains, or penalties, on account of such persons haviug
at any tiiue been held in a condition ol slavery, or
involuntary servitude, rxorpt as a pnnishmont for
crime whereof the party shall have been duly con
victed, or bv reason oi Ins color or rac, than Is p ro
te I ted tor the punishment of white persons, shall be
oremed guilty of a misdemeanor, and on conviction
shall be punished by One not exceeding one thou
sand dollar, or imprisonment not exoeedmr one
j tar, or both, in the discretion of the court." Th s
fiction seems to be designed to apply to some ex
isting or inture law ol a Slate or lerritory, which
mav conflict with the provisions of the bill now
under cons-deration, ft provides for counteract
irg such lorlilddon legfsation by imposing a
fine and imprieonment upon the legislators who
may pass such conflicting taws, or upon the
ctllccis or arenta who shall put or attempt
to put tl.em into execution It means an offlaial
offense, not a common crime committed against
law upon tho person or property of the black race.
Such an act may deprive the biaek man of his pro
perly, but not of thertght to hold property. It
means a deprivation of this tight ltsnlt, either by
the State judiciary or the (stato Legislature. It is,
tlierelore, assumed that, under this section, mem
bers oi State Legislatures who should vote tor laws
conflicting with the provisions ot this bill, that
Judges ot the State courts who should render judg
mer.ts in antaponism with its forms, and that mar
shals snd shenHs who should, as ministerial oilier,
exi cuto pioceses sanctioned by State laws and
Issued bv State judges in execution of thoir judg
ments, could be brought belore other tribuna s, and
thete subjected to tine and imprisonment lor the
pertoimance ot the duties which such Stato laws
might impeso. The legislation thus proposed in
vsues the Judicial power of tbe stato. It says to
every State court or fudge, "If ou.dccido that this
act Is urconstitiitional; if you refuso under tho pro
hibition ot a State to allow a negro to testily; it you
hold that, over such a subject matter, tho State law
is paramount, and under color ol a State law roluso
the txercise of the rlpht to tho negro, your error ot
udguitnt, however conscientious, shall subjeot you
to fir.e and imprisonment " 1 do not apprehend
that the conflicting legislation, which the bill seems
to contemplate., is !iko y so to occur as to render it
urces.-nry at this time to adopt a measure ot aucu
doubtlul constitutionality.
In the next place, this provision of the bill scemi
i be unnecessary, as adeauatn judicial remedies
could be adopted to secure the r sired end without
involving the Immunities ol legislatures, always im
portant to i o preserved in tho interests ot publ c
libtriy; without astailiug tho independence oi the
udiciary. always essential to tne preservation ot
individual rights; and without impairing the cfli
ckiicv if ministerial ofliccrs, always necessary for
tne maintenance; oi pumic peaco ana oraor. i no
remedy proposed by this stctlon seems to be in this
resprct noi only anomalous, but unconstitutional,
ior the Constitution guarantees nothing with cer-
Hititv if it does not ensurj to the sovoral Statos tho
ight of milking and execut ntr lavs in regard to all
maiteis arising wiihlu thoir jurisdiction, mbjoct only
to restriction lu cases that conuict with the Consti
tution and constitutional laws ol the United States
the tatter should oe ho d to bu tho supremo law of
tbo land.
Ibe third section crives the D strict Courts of the
United States exciusivo "cogulzauco oi all crimes
and ofienses committed agniu't tne provisions of this
act," and concurrent Jurisdiction with tbe Circuit
courts ot tho cmted Male ot an civil and criminal
esses nfleciirg persons who are denied or cannot on-
orce in the courts or judicial tribuna s ot the Stato
or loca'ity, wherever they may be, any of the rights
secured to them bv tbo ftisi sec ion; and tho con
struction which I have given to the second section is
strengthened by this third section, lor it makes clear
what kind cl emul or deprivation oi the rights se
emed bv the first section was in contemplation. It
a denial or deprivation of such rights "in tho
courts or judicial tilt unals ot the Stato." It stands,
thereiore, clear ot doubt that the ofl'cnse and tho
penaltio provided in the second section are intended
or tne Mat judge who, in tbe clear exercise ot Ins
lunctious as a jttdgo. not acting ministerially but
judicially, sLall dccido conttaiy to this Federal law.
In other words, when a Mate judue, acting upon a
question invo.ving a conflict between a Stato law
ana a federal law. and bound, according to his own
juopinent and responsibility, to give an impartial
decision ret ween tne two, comes to tne conclusion
that the State law is valid and the Federal law is
invalid, he must not lollow the dictates of his own
udi'meut at tho peril ot fine and imprisonment. The
egis ative department oi tho unvcuiment ot the
United States thus takes trom the judicial denart-
nieut of the States the Bacred and exclusive dutv of
judicial decision, aud converts the State judge into a
mere ministerial on.cer, oouua to decide according
to the will ol Congress.
Jt is clear that in the Metes when deny toner
sons whose rights ore secured by the Hist section
oi the bill any one ot tho rights, all criminal and
civil cases allectmg them will, by tbe provision of
tho third section, come under thuexciusivo cornl
zanco of the Federal triouua's. It iollows that if
in any Mate which denies to a colored person any
one ol those: rights, that person should commit a
crime against tne laws ol tbe State, murder, arson,
rare, or any other crime, all protection or punish
ment through the courts ot tho State is taken
away, and ho can oi ly be tried and punished in
tho Federal courts. How is the criminal to be tried
if the ollenee is t lo provided for and punished
oy r eaerat inw r i nat law, ana not the state law, is
to govern.
If is only when tho ctrenso docs not happen to bo
Within the purview ot Federal law that the Fe
deral courts ore to try an a puuisn mm. undor
any other law, then resort is to be had to the
common law, as modified and changed by State
legislation, so fur as the same is not inconsistent
with tbe Constitution and laws ot the Unitod States.
o that over this vast domain ol criminal tuns-
prudence, provided by each stato tor the protection
ol its own citizens, and lor the punishment of all
persons who violate its criminal laws, Federal
law, wnerevcr it can po maao to apply, displaces
Mh to law.
Hie Question hero naturally arises, from what
source congress derives tho power to transfer to
Federal tribunals certain classes of cases embracod
in this section f Tho Constitution expressly de
clares that tho judicial power ot the United States
blbii extend io an oaoes in taw ana equity arising
unuer this Constitution, the laws of the United
t-tates, and ticaties ma e or which shall be made
imcer their authority ; to all casus affecting ambas
sadors, other publio ministers and consuls; to all
cases ot admiralty and maritime jurisdiction; to
controversies to which tho United States shall bo
a laity; to contioversics between tyjo or moro
States; between a State and citizons of another
State; between citizoos of different States; between
citizens ot the same Stato claiming laud under
giants ot diilerent States, and between a Stato, or
the citizens thereof, and loreign States, citizoos or
Bubjects.
Here the judicial power of tho United Stales Is ex
pressly set lorth and defiued, and the act of Septom
tenibor 24, 1789, establishing the judicial courts of the
united Mates, in conferring upou tho f eueial courts
jurisdiction over cases originating in State tribunals,
is careful to confine thorn to the clas-es enumerated
in the above-recited clause of the Constitution, This
section cf the bill undoubtedly comprehends cases
and authorizes the exercise of powers that are not,
by the Constitunon, witbin tbe jurisdiction of the
courts of tbe United States. To transfer them to
those courts would bo an exercise of authority well
calculated to excite distrust and alarm ou tbe part of
all tho States lor the bill applies alike to all ot them
as weil to those that bave as to those that bave not
been engaged in rebel ion. It maybe assumed that
this authority is incident to the power granted to
Congress by the Constitution, as recently amended,
to eufoice, by appropriate legislation, tho article de
claring that neither slavery nor involuntary servi
tude, except as a punishment lor orimo, whereot tho
party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist
within tho United States, or any placo subject to
thoir jurisdiction.
It cannot, however, bo justly claimed that, with a
View to the en loi cement ol this article of the Con
stitution, there is at present any necessity tor the
exercise ol all tho powers which this bill confers.
Slavery has been abolished, and at present nowhore
exists within the jurisdiction of the United States,
nor has there been, nor is it likely there will be,
any attempt to renew it by the people or tbo States.
If, however, any such attempt shall be niade, it
will l ecoruo tho duly of the lieueral Government
to exercite any and all incidental powers necessary
and proper to maintain inviolate the great law ot
lreedom.
1 he fourth section of the bill provides that officers
and agents ol tho 1 re dmenN Bureau shall be em
powered to make arrests, and also that other olli
cers maybe specially commissioned for that pur
pore by tbe President ol the United States. It
also authorizes Circuit Courts ot the United States
and tho Superior Courts of the Territories, to ap
point, without limitation, comiui-sionnrs, who are
to be charged with the perionnauce ot quasi Judi
cial duties.
The tilth section empowers the 'commissioners so
to be selected by tie courts, to appoint in writing
under their bands, one or more suitable persons,
from time to tiuio, to execute warrants and other
prosecutions desired by the bill, 'theso numerous
oilicial agents aro made to constitute a sort of polioe
in addition to tho military, and are authorized to
summon a posse etimitatus, aud even to call to their
aid such portions ot the laud and naval furoes of
the United States, or of the militia, as may be ne
psBsory to tbe perionnauce of the duty with which
they are charged. This extraordinary power is to
bo conlorred upon agouti irresponsible to the Gov
ernment and to the people, to whose number the
discretion ot the commissioners is the oulv limit,
and In whose bunds such authority might be made
a terrible engine of wrong, oppression, and fraud.
The general statutes regulating the land aud naval
forces of tbe United States, the militia, and the exe
cution of the laws, are believed to be adequate ior
every emergency which cau occur in time of peace.
Il it should piove otherwise Congress can at any
time amend those laws in such a manner as. while
suDsetvii)r the public welfare, not to Jeopard the
rights, luiciests, and lilierties ol tho people.
1 he seventh section provides that a fee of tn doU
lan shall be paid to each commissioner In every esse
brought before him; and a fee of five dollars to his
deputy or deputies, for each person ho or they mar
atrest and take botore any such commissioner, with
such other lees as may be deoraed reasonable by such
commissioner In general for performing such other
duties as may be reqrt red In the promises. All these
lees are to bit paid out ot the Treasury of the United
States, whether there is a conviction or not; but in
onse nt conviotion they are to te recoverable from
the drfondant It seems to me that under the in
fluence ot such temptation bad men might convert
any law, howevor beneficent, intogan instrument of
porserution and fraud.
By the elchth section of the bill the United States
ecurtf, which sit only in ono place lor white citi
zens, must migrate, the marshal and dlstaVt attor
ney, and necessarily the oierk, altnonch he is not
mentioned, to any pan ti tne district upon tne oraer
ol tbe 1 resident, and there bold a court, lor the pur
pose of the more spot a v a nest and trial of persons
chai aed with a violation ot this act; andthre the
Judge and the e Ulcers of tne court must remain, on
tne order oi me i rcsioem, ior inn time acsicnaiea.
1 he ninth section authorizes tho I'residcnt, or such
person as he may empower for that purpose, to em
ploy sucn port oi tne tana or navai iorces or mo
United Stales, or of tho militia, as Bhall be neces
sary to prevent the vio'ation and enforce, the duo
execution of nils act. This language seems to impiv
au important military lorce, that is to be always at
baud, ana wnose only business is to do tno enforce
ment oi mis incssago over tne vast region wnore it
is 'Blended to operate.
1 do not propose to consider the policy of this bt'I.
To me tho details of the bill aro fraught with evil.
The white race and the black race of the South have
hllherto lived togotticr under the relation ol master
end slave capital owning labor. Mow, suddenly,
that relation is changed: snd as to ownership, capital
and labor are divorced. Tbey stand now eacn master
oi itieit in this uuw relation ouo Ului necessary to
the other.
lbere will be a new adjustment, which both are
deeply interested in making harmonious. E ich has
equal poster in settling tbe forms, and tf loft to the
inns iimi. ii'Kumiu vauiiai nnu wuvi, lb in ivuu-
dcntly believed that they will Batbifitctorily work
out the problem, capital, It is truo, has more in
telligence, but labor is never so tguoraut a) not to
understand its own interests, not to know i'S own
value, and not to see that capital must pay that
value. Jins Mil lrustrntes this adlustinent, it in-
teivenes between capital and labor and attempts to
settle questions of political economy through
the agency ot numerous olhcials, whose interest it
will bo to foment discord botwocn the two races; so
lor as tbo breach widens, their employment will con
tinue, and when it is closed, their occupation will
terminate in all our history, in all our experience,
as a people living uuder Federal and State law. Ho
such system as that contemplated by the dotai's of
this bill bas ever belore been proposed or adopted
to tstab.lsh for tho security ol tbo colored race safe
guards which go infinitolv beveua any that the
General Government has ever provided lor the
white inco. In tact, tho distinction oi race and
color is by the bill made to operate in favor of the
col red and aaalnst the white race.
They intcrieie with the municipal legislation of
tne, Mates, witn the relations existing exclusively
between a State and its citizens, or between inhabi
tants ol the same State an absorption and assump
tion of power by the General Government which. If
acquiesced in must sap or destroy our federative
system of limited powers, and break down the bar
riers which preserve the rights oi tho States. It is
another step, or rather stride, towards centraliza
tion, and the concentration of all legislative powers
in the National Government. The tendency of the
bill must be to resuscitate the spirit of robcll ion. and
to arrest the i rogress of those influences which aro
more closely drawing around tho. Mates the bouds of
union and ptace.
liy lamented predecessor, in his proclamation of
tne 1st oi January, iWJ, ordered ana declared that
all persons held as slaves within certain S ates, and
parts ot States fhoroiu dosignatcd, wore and thenoo-
forward should be tree; and lurther, that the Execu
tive Government ot tbe United States, lucludinsr
the military and naval authority thereof, would re
cognize and maintain tne freedom ot such persons.
This guarantee has been rendered especially obliga
tory and sacred by the amendment ol the Constitu
tion abolishing slavery throughout the United
States. 1 thereiore fully recognize the obligation
to protect and defend that class ol ourneoD.e when.
ever and wherever it shall become necessary, and to
the lull extent compatible with tho Constitution of
tne emtea Mates.
Entertaining these sentiments, it only remains for
me to sav that l will cheerfully co-operate with Con
gress in any mcasuro that may be necessary for the
promotion ot the civil rights of the lreodmen, a.i well
as thoso of other classes of persons throughout the
United States, by judicial process lander uuual and
impartial laws, in comormity with the provisions of
tne jtcaorai constitution, i now return tne bill to
the Senate, and regret that iu considering the bills
and joint resolutions, forty-two in number, which
have been thus far submitted lor my approval, I am
compelled to withhold my assent from a Bocond
measure that hat received tho sanction ot both
Houses ot Congress. Anpkew Johxbos,
