THE DAILY EVENING TELBQRAP.il PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, APRIL 21, 18 i 1 . THE BORDER CLAIEI8. Report of tho Committed n?o tlio Stctto (Senate Tho Status of tho Claimants. Recommendations of the lleport. Special to Tht Evening Telegraph. IIarrisburo, April 21. In the State Senate to-day the committee on the claims known as the "border county claims" presented the fol lowing elaborate report: . BORDKR CLAIMS REPORT. I The select committee to whom was rernrred the petition of five hundred citizens of Chambersburg, Fraying for some legislation to make compensation or the extraordinary losses of property sustained by them during the late war, make the following report: That they hare considered the subject matter of ' the petition referred to them, and generally the ques tion of losses by onr citizens of the southern border daring the war, by reason of depredations npnn thsir property by the Confederate and Federal forces, and particularly by raids of the former, and will proceed to state tliclr conclusions upon the several points In volved In the question of public responsibility for those losses, with the grounds npon which their con clusions rest. Their report is made thus broad, be cause they understand that their Investigation was not Intended to be confined to the Chambersburg losses alone, but to extend to all the losses which occurred npon the border which heretofore have been subjected to examination under the authority oi tne mate. . . LIABILITY OF THE UNITED STATES. The first qnestlon to be considered Is, whether the United States are liable for the losses npon the border, either by reason of a direct constitutional obligation or by reason pf particular facts connected with the several Invasions of the State, or by botti. By the fourth section of the lourtti article of the Constitution of the United States It la provided that the United States shall protect each of the States of the Union against Invasion.- This guarantee la coupled with two others the one for protection of the several States agalDSt domestic violence upon demand of State authorities, and the other to secure to them republican forms of government. Against every form of external and Internal danger, accom panied by violence, this comprehensive section of guarantees was Intended to protect the States, and the obligation assumed by the United States under 1t has but one expressed limitation, which is, that the interposition of the Federal Government against domestic violence must be Invoked by the Legisla ture of a State or by the Executive thereof when the Legislature cannot be convened. Mo one can doubt, npon reading these guarantees of the Constitution, , and duly considering the general objects for which, the Constitution was made, as announced In Its pre amble, that complete defense to the (states was pro mised and Intended thereby, and that an obligation of self-defense which, In the absence of the consti tutional compact, wonld have rested exclusively npon the several states was thereby cnarged npon the Federal Government. It Is not necessary to insist that the States respec tively parted with the right of defending themselves against external danger, when imminent, or against actual Invasion, but unquestionably the whole duty of defending them was Imposed upon the United States. Nor can it be doubted that this obligation and duty of the United States to protect each Stte against invasion Is not conUned to cases of invasion by a foreign enemy. The guarantee Is expressed In ' general language, and Is without limitation. An in vasion of a State from another State or association of States Is as much provided against as an Invasion from abroad. This Is the clear conclusion to be drawn from the language of the guarantee, and from considering the known reasons which dictated Its In sertion In the Constitution. Hence Judge Story, in his work npon the Constitution, section 1S18, In speaking of this guarantee, declares "(hat the lati tude of the expression here used seems to secure each State not only against foreign hostility, but against ambitions or vindictive enterprises of Its more powerful neighbors." - It la beyond dispute that the United States did not keep this guarantee of defense npon the several occasions when our border was struck by the enemy Ouring the recent war of the Rebellion. The guar antee was not kept and duties under It performed by the United States, and by reason of their default our citizens were assailed in their peaceful homes and their property appropriated, or wasted and con sumed. They were completely Innocent of all blame. They had performed all their duties both to the State and Federal Governments, by contribution or taxes, by voluntary assessments npon themselves in aid of the common defense, by the raising of troops, and by complete obedience to all the laws of the land. Butttelr just claim their absolute right to prote tlon and defense against external violence was not maintained by el her of the Governments tc which tbey owed allegiance, It is true, as a general principle, that "protection against Invasion Is due from every society to the parts composing It." (Story on Con., sec 1818.) This correlative of allegiance rests upon every State, and In the absence of compact or treaty be tween States is exclusively a State obligation. But under onr system of dual government the case Is widely different, as already shown. Primarily, this obligation unquestionably rests on the United -States, and was assumed by them in the Federal compact for full and valuable consideration. The contribution of State strength to the Union, and the assumption of numerous and onerous duties to the Federal Government by the people and Government of each Slate, constitute the solid foundation npon which this Federal obligation rests. It follows that a State may demand this protection for its citizens from the Federal Government in every possible case, and hence, In no case can the answer be made by or In behalf of that government that the State Is bound to defend Itself. If, then, any obligation or duty rests npon a State . to protect Its own people against Invasion, It must " J be considered as one to be discusted only between the .State and its own citizens In view of the peculiar relation! which subsist between them. The United States cannot assert any such State obligation or duty In the face of their own clear guarantee con . &iniwi in t.hn fourth article ot the Constitution. In the default of the constitutional protection of the State by the United States against Invasion, and of an actual defense of the state by herself (in con - eauence of such default), can any doubt that the outlay Incurred by the State for defensive purposes would constitute a just demand against the United States? In such cases ought not the guaranteeing party to make good the outlay incurred by reason of its default, ana wuen uie emus ums.eo uor ueusuu for reimbursement, would It not be most unreason able and unjust to repudiate or reject it? But can losses Incurred by the State or by her citizens in consequence of a breach of the guarantee be put npon a different footing from the outlays incurred v the tttate In self-defense? In each case the de fault of the guaranteeing and protecting party is the cause and fonndatlon of the demand. The commit tee can discover no limitation In such case npon the responsibility of the United States except their In ability to respond to the demand. It Is admitted that war ravages may be so extensive as to render lndemnitv to Innocent sufferers impossible. The burden mav be too treat to be borne, and cannot, therefore, be accepted or assumed. But in the present case this plea of bankruptcy or inability cannot be lnternosed. It is to be observed that the guarantee in the Con stitution is one in favor ot the several States in thslr capacity as parties to the compact, and It Is there fore to be asserted by the States and not by indi vidual citizens In all cases of its violation. Hence it is proper and becomes necessary, In the present ' Instance, to examine t he relations and intercourse be tween the state ana tne eaerai uoverumeut uunng the war. and the conduct of each in relation to the defense of the State. Did the State perform all her mules ta the Federal Government, and Is she in a position to claim that the guarantee la question should have been kept? The answer to this question ' is famished by the statutes of the Commonwealth, and by the publlo records of the war. Tha State furnished her due share of militia and ninnra under the several calls made by the Pre aldent of the United States, and she submitted with i ' out complalntio the vigorous execution within her limit, nf th conucrlBtlon of March. 1863, and its several supplements. Her due share of troops for the publlo service was f untuned by her or drawn Trom her iindnr tha United States laws and Presi dential nroclamatlons throughout the war, and U - addition thereto, In several easel of emergency, she furnished to the United States her own aeren lve force. At the nrtreat demand of the War De Dartment she allowed her border to be uncovered , to the stroke of the enemy, when, by a more selUsh nnllrv ah rnnia h&vn KamiraA her own nrotectlott . at the peril of the common Interests involved la the struggle. But It Is a material consideration in passing npon her conduct as a member of the Federal Union in a time of unexampled difficulty andklansrer, that she did not rely wholly upon the United States for her - nrotectlon from external danger. In addition to a croniDt. zealous, and complete performance ol all her duties to the common cause, sue made adequate provision for defending berself, and would have wholly relieved the Ktderal Government from the , hrfnrniMic of nractlcal duties to her nnder th constitutional guarantee If that Government had not Interfered With ner aweusiv. arrangements ana tkpn from her her defensive force. The report men proceeds to review the measures taken by the State for the defense of her citizens.' The Reserve Corps was onranlned at a cost to the State of 83,000,000, and transferred to the Federal army immediately after the Bull Run defeat, thereby exposing our borders to the enemy. In 18GJ, the militia were called out to defend the exposed por tions of tli State, and the money advanced to pay them. ' The Legislature subsequently legalized the payment, and authorised a loan to meet it. la ISM six reslmenta were organized for border defense, bnt were called to the Potomac, to reinforce Hunter, after his defeat, and the destruction, of Chambers burg was the result. An extraordinary session of the Legislature was called, and 3,00o,ooo more ap propriated for defense) but the war soon after closed, and no part of It was expended, and the money paid for the Reserve Corps, and for the mili tia In 180a, was repaid to the State by the General Government. The State, in the opinion of the com mittee, discharged her duty faithfully, but her bor ders were exposed, and her citizens suffered spolia tion, because her defensive troops were transferred to save the Union armies. - The report tnen reviews the various ants of As sembly, from 1801 to 1868, in all eight different en actments, providing for the adjudication of the claims, and for the payment ol a portion of them. They show that the ultimate payment of the claims by the General Government was steadily sept In view by the State, and that the State has reoognized her duty to procure an adjustment of them for her citizens. . . The report concludes as follows : ! Under the several acts above mentioned the border claims have been examined and ascertained under the sanction or State authority, and the evidence of their amount and character Is npon Ble in the office of the AuditoiUeneral. Some of those ascertained nnder the earlier assessments have been paid by the United States, and n pon those located In Cham bersburg half a million of dollars has been paid out of the State Treasury nnder the act of 18th of Feb ruary, 1866. Speaking generally, the validity and justice of the border claims have been asserted In the strongest possible manner by the State Govern ment, and the whole scope or State action concern ing them points to their ultimate adjustment and payment AMOUNT OF CLAIMS. The losses which are the subject of the present inquiry were caused by successive raids in 1862, 1903, ana 1864, by the advance and operations of Lee's army in 1SG3, and by depredations and appropriations of property at several times by Federal troops. As to the latter, It is to be noted that tho militia by whom some of, the damages were occasioned were mustered into the United States service before their advance to the border, and constituted a part of the Federal forces. The aggregate amount of the claims cannot, with the means of information at hand, be exactly stated. In the official reports on die in the Auditor-General's office, some of the claims are duplicated; some of those reported upon nnder the act of 1868 being contained In prior reports. But the sum total of the claims wlll not exceed two million eight hundred thousand dollars, and they will be subject to such revision aa may be thought proper In case of, and whenever, their final payment end settlement shall be provided for. It is believed that they are held entirely by the original claimants that they have not been assigned or transferred to other patties. DUTY OP THE STATE. ' The duties which the State owes to her own citi zens in the present case mav be made the subject of debate. That she should" take prompt and effec tual action to afford or to sccare to them a reason able Indemnity lor tbelr losses, ought to be admitted by all ; bnt the particular line of action to be pur sued oy ner may db open vo question, one nas al ready advanced or paid half a million of dollars upon tne claims nnaer tne act or 1866, ii1 has there fore a direct pecuniary interest to that amount in enforcing them against the Federal Government. Bat, beyond this Interest of her own, It Is believed to be her duty to provide for or to obtain lurther in demnity to her people. She owes protection to them, and she alone can claim on their behalf and on her own the guarantees of the Federal Constitution. n remains to inquire wnat immediate or direot relief, if any, can be furnished by the State to her citizen claimants. She cannot assume the payment of their claims and place those claims In the forms of a public debt to be met by her hereafter, because in. ouiie uouHumuun ioroiua uie creation oi a aeot of such magnitude. Kor (by reason of another pro vision of the Constitution) can she loan her credit to them In any way whatever. But she may appropriate money from her treasury to pay the claims, In whole or In part, or may divert any part of her revenues, not pledged to the sinking iuna, ana appiy it to tne same object, rending the application to oe maae ny ner upon the .Federal Government for Indemnity, and before that applica tion shall be compMtd with, Bhe may appropriate money in aid of the claimants or In extinguish ment of their demands. The power of the two houses to do this is complete, and their exercise of the power is wholly within their discretion. It Is a clear power, but one to be exercised, if exercised at all, under a full sense'of representative duty, and in full view of all those considerations of expediency and justice which pertain to the ques tion. But either as tne representative or our people, or In her own right as the holder of the claims, the State Government should promptly press upon the Federal Government the recognition and allowance of these claims as a matter of justice to the State, and ot Federal obligation nnaer tne uonstituuon of the United States. A. JU. DILL, o. r. buckalew, George Connell, C. M. Duncan. The committee report a bill providing for a carefnl revision of the claims, by the courts, to prevent all speculation and fraud, and the payment of the Inte rest on them by the State. Tne State becomes the owner of the claims, and is required to demand the payment of them, and the 1500,000, with interest, already paid to Chambersburg, and when the eialms are paid to the State the claimants are to be paid. Senator White does not entirely agree with the other four members of the committee. He holds that the claims should be properly adjudicated by the State, as the bill provides, and that In equity the General Government should pay them ; that the State should not Interfere In the matter beyond making the demand for her citizens. nVSICAIi AND DRAMATIC. .
