R. 320)'t0 enforce the' provisions of the fourteenth amendment to the Constitution of the United States, And for other pur poses— . * \ Mr. 31ERCUR said : - Mn. SPIATER : I am in full synnia thy with the objects sought to be ;re complislietl by the passage of the bill inw i!ciling_ before the House. Thlie objectS,'as I 'understand them, arc the sniThri-4.,siou of the outrages whicli\eN'st in ' the South, and, if needs lii., the I , ,tnisfneut."-of the of fenders or transgrossbrs.. .. So inu'z•li\iine has been occupied in the discussion of \ various qu&Rtiumli that arise nailer this bill, and my time is ''so . limited, that. I can but hastily and rapidly..glanee_at some of the points or nnestroris -which I deem it important to-con Cider in the . ex ercise of my right as \ a member of this House. That outrages do exist and have-existed to nix als \ rming ex tent through the Sonthldoes not ad mit of.-denial: They may he'excused by some persons; they- may be, par tially covered up; there may bb, At tempts made to conceal them; but they stand forth so clear arid distinct that none brit a Madman can deny\ thew. \ , \._ . We hare presented to ns, \in vari ous shapes and forms, the evidences 'of these outrag es. We have Ahem presented in th current intelligence of the day in every paper that issues from, the press; the , papers are, full of them; and as time htis gone on dur ing the last few weelig they have in creasedqrith fearful rapidity. Some times-I hear the rernaFk ma.do by gentlemen on the other side of the House : " . 0h„ yes; there _are \some outrage4 - ;',(but they are' exaggerated; there are ;not so many, as" stated." And I have found good, easy Repub• limns, who are unwilling to enter in to. arty controversy, say, "I suppose that is so; I suppose they are exag gerated." But I ask, where is-there any proof of exaggeration? Any Where -and everywhere a judicial invectiga tiOn has been had; has it lack. torrob orated, has it not sustained--thetTas sertion? Has it not affirmed the ex istence-of these outrages?. Ay, l sir, it has gone - far beyond what the pa; pers have stated. Whore is the honorable gentleman on this floor, be he froth the North or be he from.the South, that before this'investigatiOn was made by the select committee of. the Senate' had any idea of the number and enormity of the outrages committed in the single State of North Carolina/with in three years ? • That staid, quiet - Old State of North Carolina, that time, Whig-State of the olden ' time, that State in which we I would jare looked . foe more peace; more ptiet, more protection of law than in any other State that went into- the ebelhen, that State presentd a ree -brd perfectly appalling The com b ittee appointed by . the Senate- to 'investigate that State calledi l fifty-two liwitnesses, twenty-nine upon one Shrg.

Thits in these three counties 9S cases of barbarous treatment -and whip ping and_ maiming and shooting of men and women, white and - black,! did occur in that time. I put it to that manor that set of men who may say that these outrages are ex-: aggerated;when they come to 1004 at the elidenee, one-tenth part of the instances of outrage had never been hetird of before; no 'paper in - the South, no paper in the North, had published any account ofilhem. : It shows, therefore, that instead of b - ing exaggerated they have been° nh derestireated, because . they have been unknown.

These eases, Mr. Speaker, did not find their way 'into the newspapers so as to meet 'your eye or mine: It It is•well known Why they did not. The ag,entit of the Associated' Press throngh the South ltrA persi4ently either - withheld or distorted and dis colored the outrages that have been perpetrated there-fof a great length of time. Such being the fact, what cur:elusion:did the select committee copse to? They,camo to: three con clusions, they found three -.fact's; as follows : -.1. That- the Ku Klux organizatiO '- does exist, hits a political purpose, i • composed of members of the Demo cratie 'or. Conservative • party, has sought to carry out its purpose by murders, whippings, intimidations, aucLyiolence, against its opponents. That it - not only'binds its mem= bers to c'...irLy out decrees of erime,- but protects them against comletion and punishment,' first by disguises and verecy; second:lv yerjury, if necessary, _upon the- witness - stand /a in-the jury-box. 3. That of all the offenders against the law in this order, (and thhre must bC many hundreds if not thous ands, because these crimes are shown to be committed by organized bands ranging from ten up to seventy-five) not one has yet been convicted in the whole State, - ' These facts were found upon tie oaths of the 52 witnesses to whOm I have referred , They show the polit ical character oI the persons com posing tliose orpnizations; the com binations,-conspiracies, and disguises by which they commit those crimes, and the perjury by whieh they es cape punishment Stich having been . the finding of the select committee, it was right and proper for the Pres ident' to send his message to Con gress, if he had any doubt,about his power under existing laws. It is in these words : • • ib 1? Senate and Haase r f I:epresentatires: A condition of affairs - now exists in some States of the Union rondering life and property insecure, and the attrying of malls and, the col lection of revenue dalrgerons. Proof that such a state of affairs exists is, now before the Sett- ate. That the power to correct these evils is beyond the control of the State. authorities, 1 do - Lot doubt.

That would have ,been the cry they would have rang the , changes .upon all through . the country. In a few days afterwards the,Gov ernor of the State ofSonth Carolina makes a demand upon him, and he issues this proclamation: • WASEITNOTON, Friday, iareb 21, 1871. Whereas it is prov.ded m the Constitution of the-United States that tho United States shall protect every State in the Unica, on the appli cation of the Legislator°, 'or of the Executive " when the Legislature cannot be couvened," against domestic violence; and whereas it Is provided in the laws of the United States that in all cases of insurrection in any State. or ob struction to the laws thereof, it shall , be lawful, for the Vresident of the United States,. on spy plication of the Legislature et such Staid, or of the Executive "when a the Legislature cannot be convened," to call forth the militia of any State or States, or to employ Part e! th e land and naval forces assnml be judged rteces• eery for the purpose of suppressing such in surrection, or of causing the laws to be duly evaded ; and Whereas I have received information that combinations of armed - men, unauthorised by iaw, aro now disturbing the peace and safety of the, citizens of the State of South fuit e lp ete nmitting acts of violence in the= a r and to an extent which renders the of the State and its allot!, unequal to pow r task of protecting life And propertr aid se curing public order ; and • Whereas the Legislature' Of said State Is not now in session, and cannot be convened in time MEI Or DENONCLIMION nom toklet the present emergency, arici ttbaSEse:• sub of said State has therefore miuN) tion to me rOf such pui : of the military farce of the United States as mav be necessary,and ade quate to protect said state and , the citizens thereof against tbo domestic violencwher,eilkbe• fore mentioned , and to eUforce the due sleet tion of the laws; and '•„ • .

''' Is there no eonstitniionaf , *river to enable us to do it? -It 4here is not, if there is no power in 4lie Con stitution which authorizes . *ingress to do it, then we must - stibOt—and I say that our Republiean , instillations I are a failure. ,1.,d0 not: believe they area failure. I believ_C.thereis am ple power given by thtt tonstitution 1 to Congress to protect , all our citi zens; and it , is high ttrile:that we sheuld exercise it.. -It'is time that gentlemen on the otl • lV'..sitle , find out that we will exercise it, let it strike whom it may—that •Tie.. will exercise it at all hazards. , - . \ The power given to Con,gress to pass some section Of tiiiii bill May be derived from the fcluf,teenthainend ment to the CouhtiCutjon. , I - must hastily refer to some. at its provi sions with which this Rouse,s en-, tireiy familiar and the ;discAssion of which may be said to!zbo almost threadbare. But I wish ,to present one or two views based upon and springing from it.- Many distinct and -: separate de clarations are contained in the first section of this,ainendment. First is the affirmation that all persons born or naturaliied:in -the United States and subject to the jurisdiction there of are citizens of the United States and, of the State in which they re side'. If any State seeks to deprive thorn of that right it is to be asseXted through tlui judiciary. ;The senond rovision is that "no State shall ruako enforce any law which shall abridge privileges or immunities of citi zens of the United. Statos." If any State do's pass or attempt to enforce =eh laws, such affirniiir - action would be held by the con s of the United States to be unconstitution ab The third provision avers, " Xor shall any State deprive any - person .of life, liberty, s nr property without duo process - of ) law. If any State does this.it is affirmative action, and the courts would set it aside. Put the last clause of the amendment 'provides -that no State shall "deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection. .of the lima." How is that to be enforcedf • I shall be obliged if any gentleman upon the opposite side. who may address the House after I have closed will an swer this question. How do., yen say, this clause is to be enforced ?. Mr. Potter rose." ' Mr. - Panacea. I' cannot ynow. Let' the gentleman -answe rer I have Wend - my remarks. - This s provision cannot be enforced by a bill *equity to compel apeeific perfoimance of it; but if a State d - mes this tapial piv_teetton, the United Stites GovernMent must step in and ! 've that protection which the State authorities neglect or:refaie 1 give. Now, Mr. Speakei, let BB analyze the language of this provisiop. "No State shall deny?" What do we un derstand by a State in this connec tion ?, The word, " State," when tilled in thel Constitution of the United States,, is susceptible of different con struction& A. definition of what it meow: has Wen well given in:an opin ion delivered by- Chief Justice Chase in the case of Texas vs. White (7 Wallace, pa,ge 720) - "Tho term State,i,says he, "deseril warm- thpes a peoplo or community of individuals united more or less f- J I( • ;•Ic-in political relations, inhabiting temporiniv or, I,erraan-n tly the same country. Otten it indie3tts only tl,d country or territorial region iriba:.; •ti such a corn triunity. I diot nnfrequPntl is it Hp; lied to the Government under ndlirl, the picnic , livv. At otle_r times it pres...pt th- c.mbined idea of the people, territory, ananalGovernment. "it is not ditficul; to see that in all these senses the primary conception is that of a peo ple or community. The people, in whatever territory dwelling, either temporarily 'er per manently, and whether organized ander a reg ular Government on united 'by looser and less definite relations, eeinstitute the State." • • "A State, in the ordinary sense of the Con stitution, is s political community of free trill-, zees, occupying a territory of defined bounda ries, and organizediuntler a government sanc tioned and limited by a written emistitntion and established by consent of the governed." TIMIS it is evident that the clear import and.: meaning of the term "State," in the sense inwhich 'it is used in this section, is free citizens or people dwelling within the limits of an crganizOd State. Those _free people, in the administration of their government, act mostly thrOugh the legislative, judicial, and executiVe branches of their creation. The peo ple, nevertheless, remain the root and body of the government. The res ponsibility, thcrefore, of a Proper ad ministration of government remains with the people, who always retain the residuary' power. Hence; every citizen of thel United States the jurisdiction of a State, when Id invokes the equal protection of the laws given bpi this clause of the Con stitution, has, a right to go .back of the three branches of the Govern ment and demand it of the _people. If, then, the three-branches of a State government persistently and =din newly deny to any,person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws, it ie a denial by the State, that is, by the peopla. But no State shall %deny." What dcies this !nevi? • WhaFia its spirit and intent ? LkAtonongshela Navi gation Comp:my - Vt. Coons (9 Watts arid Sergeant, 114), Chief Justice j r. Mr NM Gibson, in giving the opinion of the court, Paid; "It was aptly said bt Chiefilnatice Tilghman, in The Farmers' and Ilechanles'Aink vs. Smith (3 Sergeant and Rawl°, 69) that conventions to regulate' the conduct or nations are not to be interpreted lilts articles of agreement at the' common law and that 'Finite multitudes - are affected by the construction of an itudrument, great regard Should be, paid to the spirit and intention. And the relaon for It is an obvious one. A constitution is made, not ,particularly for the inspechon of Unarm, but for the in, spection of tho million, that they iniy read and discern in it their rights and their duties, and it is consequently expressed in the terms that are most familiar to them. Words ' therefor% which do not of themeless. denote that they are need in* technical sense, are to havii - their plain,•poprilsv, obvious, and natural meaning. , " Applying these. correct _principles of law td the meaning of the word "deny "in this section, it is very ob vious it Means to refuse,- or to per sisteatly,neglect or oniiteto give that " equal • protection" impoied upon the State by the ,Constitation. • You will observe, Mi. Speaker, the great object to be accomplished, the great end to be reached, is "protec tion." Hence, although . the forms of law may Alia to the leg islative, judi cial, and executive branches such powers as-would seem adequate to effeet the deiired object, yet if by wicked combinations and. conspira cies the people" refuseto give infor mation, and Witnesses and jurors per-. sistentli perjure theniselves, so *at "protection " is not secured/ then' there is such a denial to the - persons within the jurisdiction of the State of that." - equal..protection" which the State is reqmrerto give. HOw; then, is this constitutional requitement to be enforced? The fifth section of the fourteenth aniend nient answers the questionf iii these words: • • !.Tbe.Conz'ess isball bare power to enfOrce, byis 'appro cl priate legislation, the provisions of th artie.' There is the power, .and the bill under consideration contains the "appropriate legislation." You, gen tlemen, on . the other side of the House say that even - had the outrages :been perpetrated to the extent and in 'the reanner•which we allege is shown to exist in North CarOlina, y et yit dots not I°ll6W : that thy exist' elsewhere, and if do, that the 'evil is not to be cured by this legislation. You say that h. " general amnesty " is the most efficacious remedy that can lie applied; that is the universal pana cea which you. prescribe. But I submit into this' House and to the 'country whether,there are not strong grounds to doubt the infallibility of your judgmentS. Congress for sev eral years past bas been engaged in the business of granting "amnes ties." Many thOusaiads, have been from the disabilities Under which they labored by reason of ttieir rebellion and treason, yet we see no evidence that they have thereby been made more law abiding citizens. Do the fifteen spared monuments of the mercy of this Government who occu py seats among you on this floor show an increased zeal in the protection of loyal men ? Again, some of yon allege that this lawlessnesS in the South is caused by the reconstruction measures of Con gress. If this were so; then the out rages would not extend to the State of lielitticky. Congress has not re-- constructed thitt State, much as she needed it. But what farther says the Senate select committee in its recent. report? .The dosing words "of -the repoit are: "Within the bust two. weeki the capital of Kentucky was entered-in the night by a body of men, armed and masked, 'who proceeded to the jsil, took possession of it, set at liberty a man charged with murder, and then ?odo away unmolested. Shortly before.' that the jail at Union, South Carolina, was entered and ten prisoner's taken out and:killed: Like complaints of murder, scourging, and violenctwithout re dress, and demands for investigation and the' protecting ann et the Government against these lawless.maranderthave been forwarded from the States of Smith Carolina, Georgia, Flarids, Alabama, Missisidppi, Louisiana, iftinia, Hen tacky Texas, and Teaneck*: Intb none of these could the ,com mittee, examine consider ing it better to pursue' Our inquiry to comple tiontif posaibkk, in one State, rather than take partial and disjointed statements as to all, and Teasing. to the Senate the determination of. whether the pnblie interests rew ire this invbs tigation to be pursued further:* . • Speaker, strong opposition is Made to the fourth section of the bill, which proposes to give the President the power, under certain . designated conditions, to suspend- the writ Of /libber's cor,pus. If , the bill gave a, gen eral or =limited power to the Presi= dent to suspend the writ, I too would oppose it; but limited and restricted as the power given to him is, as to condition, extent, and time, I see no cause ;for any fears that the -power will be improperly exercised. I lirave an abiding confidence in the patriot ism, wisdom; and discretion of the President. Myopinion is - `that so soon a's these lawless bands of 'des peradoes in the South 'asturtain th 4 the President has that power, they will so modify their conduct as to make it - unnecessary for him to exe cute it.
