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.
