TEENTH 'AMENDMENT.
Speochaillost. Ulysses Mervin., of Pena.

tires. April 64-1871.
The 11011 Se having 'under conside
ration the bill (H. 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.
And twenty4liree upon , tie other; l
and after a full and fair and ithpar
i•ial hearinz.r, -,‘s hat is established be
ynd el' , l uesti-in? The name and
liffX of c o e i erson4, outraged, the
.:i . ,harackr of -the outrges Committed
ipon the persons are ,, set forth on
'ages 1J and 20.0 f the report made
by that eelect-committee. - ••
_ln the county of Lincoln 21 cases
had.oc curred; in the county
.of Co
tawba 23 cases had occurred; in the
county of Almanace 54 had occurred.
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 are the cases in the three
counties, in North Carolina, to which
I have referred :.

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 the power of the Ext en
tire of the United States, acting within the bru
its . of existing taws, is sufticient for present
ornergencies,-nt not clear. l'ilerefore.l urgent

ment if Congress eliali of secure

Had he failed to do so; in my jr;dg
ment he would have been remiss in
the duties imposed upon him in his
high position; had he failed to do so,
and had this Congress adjenrnea
without - action, yen • would have
heard a united voice from the De
mocracy throughout the country,
saying, why does not the President
suppress these outrages ? .And they
would add, if basal(' he had not the
power to do so, if the law does not
now givelim the power, why did he
notnsk for it, and we would. have
given it to — hiin? 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

State or States, or to employ Part e! th e
land and naval forces assnml be judged rteces•

ty-fifth. U. S. °Lan,
By the President:
lialin.rox Ftsu, Secretary of-Stile.
Now, Mr. Speaker, what is to . be
done? Have not
_American citizens
rights which we and bound to. pro
tect? It would be a burning shame,
a disgrace, not only to the -Republi-_
can party, but to this Conies and.
to the nation, ifye'shouldi ' to pass
some law giving additie (protee
tion to. loyal - citizens a,&m' :;-`t these
organized bands .of midlight' eon
. spiratora and murderers.-'l.The 'De
mocracy .on this floor deka ale" '.billt
to 113 in violation elf, the qriiiititation.
.Is this so? _ „ ',,,• . .c . '''
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-

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

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. If, on the other hand, these
unlawful combinations continue to
exist; if they be organized and arm
ed, and so numerous and powerful as
to - overthrow or set at defiance° the
State authorities, or the United States
authorities therein, or if the State an
thorities combine with or, connive at
such powerful and armed combina
tions, so that life and property. can
not otherwise be secure, then I desire
the President`to not only suspend the
writ of hates corpus, but also to sus
pend ,the corpus of the Ku Klux him
.self, to the end that "life, liberty, and
the pursuit of happiness" may be se
cured to the humblest person who
