CONORESS-EIBST SESSION.
moan or TBSTERD./.1 0 8 PROOE3DING.S.
BENATE.-Mr. Grimes offered a resolution
giving the thanks of Congress to Rear Ad
miral Farragut and his officers and men for
gallant conduct in the engagement in
Mobile Bay, August sth, 1864. Referred to
the Naval Committee.
Mr. Trumbull called up the bill to protect
all persons in the enjoyment of their civil
rights, and to furnish the means of their
vindication. It provides that there shall be
no discrimination in civil rights or immu
nities among the inhabitants of any State or
Territory of the United States on account of
race, color, or previous condition of slavery,
but the inhabitants, of every race and color,
'without regard to any previous condition of
slavery or involuntary servitude, except as
a punishment for crime, whereof the
party shall have been duly con
"noted, shall have the same right to make
"and entOrce contracts, to sue, be parties and
give evidence, to inherit, purchase, lease,
sell, hold and convey real and personal pro
perty, and to full and equal benefit of all
laws and proceedings for the security of
person and property, and shall
be subject to like punishment, pains and
penalties, and to none other; any law,
sta
tute, ordinance, regulation or custom to the
contrary notwithstanding. The remainder
of the bill prescribes punishments for viola
tion of the above provision by fine and im
prisonment.
Mr. Trumbull offered the following
amendment, to be inserted immediately
afterthat enacting anise in the first sec
tion : That all persons of African descent,
• born in the United States,
are hereby de
clared to be citizens of the United States.
At half-past three,pthe Senate, on motion
<lf Mr. Sumner, went into Executive session,
and soon after adjourned. •
HOUSE.—The House resumed the con
sideration of the amendment to the Consti
tution, apportioning direct taxation and
_representation, as reported from the Select
-Committee on, Reconstruction.
Mr. Raymond (N. Y.) commenced a
speech upon the subject, but had not pro
ceeded far before he yielded the floor, at the
request of Mr. Farnsworth, who.stated that
Major General Sherman was in the Hall,
and in order that gentlemen might have an
-opportunity of greeting him, he moved that
the House take a recess of five minutes.
The motion was unanimously agreed to.
The Speaker immediately left the chair,
and joining Major General Sherman, con
ducted him to the stand amid general
applause, both on .the floor and in the
galleries,
The Speak"r said: Gentlemen, of the
House of Representatives, I have the honor
<4' introducing to you this day, by your
unanimous order, Major General Sherman,
so well known to you and to the whole civi
lized world as one of our most gallant and
heroic defenders in the contest for the Union
which has so happily closed. Of the bril
liancy of his achievements for our beloved
country, imperilled, but, thank God ! pre
served, I need not speak to you, as I know
they will live forever in the gratitude of
every heart.
Mr. Washburne (Ill.) proposed three
cheers for Gen. Sherman, which were en
thusiastically given amid the waving of
hats and handkerchiefs in the galleries.
General Sherman acknowledged the com
pliment by saying:—"Gentlemen of the
Rouse of Representatives, I am more ac
customed to cheering, such as has been
given by you, than to pitching my voice to
reach the pillars of this room, which I never
entered before, save in those galleries. I can
simply thank you from my heart for this
reception yon have given me. I hope I may
continue to preserve the good wishes you
express, and I shall endeavor to do all I can
to that end." [Applauss.]
The, Speaker then introduced .to General
Sherman the members who thronged around
him.
The five minutes' recess having expired,
the Rouse resumed its business.
Mr. Raymond (N. Y.) said the original
resolution before the House came from the
joint committee appointed to inquire into
the political condition of the States lately in
rebellion, in order to determine Whether
those States were or were not entitled to
representation in Congress. The House
could judge how much information the
resolution embodied on that subject, and
what connection it had with the object for
- which the committee was appointed.
The committee had reported, without ex
planation of reasons, a naked proposition to
amend the Constitution. He was afraid he
should fall under the censure expressed the
other day by the gentleman from Ohio (Mr.
Bingham) upon those who were unwilling
to tamper with the Constitution of the
- United States. He acknowledged freely
that he distrusted all propositions for its
amendment. The history of the country
bad proved that the Constitution was the
most wonderful instrument ever framed by
the wisdom of man for the government of a
great nation. It was fully adequate to all
the emergencies of peace or war. The tri
umphant carrying out of the war afforded
the highest possible testimony of its ade
quacy to all emergencies. In the distribu
tion of powers between the General Govern
ment and the several States, that document
bad proved that it was made not for a day,
but for all time. Still he recognized the
justice and propriety of amending it to
meet changed circumstances and an altered
condition of facts.
The question of slavery, for instance, had
undergone such a total change as to make
-an amendment to the Constitution wise and
proper. The evil proposed to be remedied
by the pending amendment was also one
that probably might well demand attention.
The late slaves in the late Southern States
had been entitled to a three-fifths renre
-sentation, and as they were now free, the
additional two fifths would increase the
Southern basis of representation by sixteen
hundred thousand. That was an in
equality which demanded a remedy,
if one could be found not worse than
the: evil itself. He thought that there
were very serious objections to the pro
posed amendment. One was that it changed
the basis of representation from population
- to something else. It was a fundamental
principle of free governments that the in
habitants, all who are the subjects of law,
:should be represented in the enactment and
:execution of the law. Another objectiona
ble feature was that noticed by the gentle
man from Pennsylvania, Mr. Broomall, in
regard to the meaning of the words race and
-color; another was, that it disfranchised a
whole race if a portion of that race was dis
franchized by a State. That was not a wise
provision. It held out no encouragement
-for enfranchising any portion of the colored
:race. He eould not help feeling that its en
actment would be disastrous to the relations
bet Wee the Union andthe Southern States,
:and to the welfare of those States.
The gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Bingham),
a member of the Committee, had said, the
'other day, that this was but the first of a
.series of amendments and- propositions
which that committee would submit for the
-action .of the House, that he regarded them
ail as essential to the safety of the Country,
.and that he trembled when he thought the
whole series cf propositions might not be
4tdopted.
Mr. Bingham—The remark I made was
that I would tremble for my country. if I
- thouitt that this proposition was all that
- the House would:pass and send out to the
-country.
Mr. Raymond accepted the correction.
'This then, was the first Of a series of propo-
Ations to amend the Constitution. The
House was entitled to know the whole pro
gramme before:acting on any one feature of
it._ 'They should know particularly
whether the powers of the General
.Govermxtent were to be so en
larged as to destroy the rights which these
States now actually hold under the Consti-1
tution. He could not help believing that
this proposition was part of a scheme for
reconstructing the Government of the
United States, on the basis so frequently
announced here, that the rebellious States
had .ceased to have any of the rights Or •
powers of States;that they no longer existed
as States of and in the 'Union, but only as
so. much unorganized, waste,
ungoverned!
territory, and that the people thereof were
simply vanquished enemies, at the
Sovereign will and discretion of the con
queror.
That was the tone of too much of the de
bate here. The gentleman from Ohio (Mr.
Shellabarger) has taken thatgronnd, holding
that the United States must and ought to
assume and exercise local powers in the
Southern States, and control the readmis
sion of such States. So the gentleman from
Connecticut (Mr. Deming) has declared that
the people of the late rebel States were now
vanquished enemies, to be dealt with as
such, whose lives, rights and property were
at our sovereign disposal, and he had taken
some credit because this Government had
not enforced the strictissimum jus which
such a condition gave it. His (Mr. Ray
'pond's) position was the exact opposite
of that. He denied in Coto the fact of
any such subjugation. He did not
believe that the war had gives
any such power. On the contrary, he held
that the Southern States had never ceased
to be States in the Union; that they were
to-day States in the Union, entitled to all
the rights conferred upon them by the Con
stitution, and that the General Government
had no more power over them, not granted
by the Constitution, than it had over the
States of New England or of the West.
Mr. Shellabarger asked why, if that were
so, he (Raymond) had stated in debate,
some days ago, that he thought the General
Government had full power and perfect
right to require certain conditions in the
nature of guarantees for the future.
Mr. Raymond did not consider that ques
tion as in the line of his argument, but had
no objection to answer it. He considered
that the General Government had a right to
demand guarantees from the rebels in the
nature of a surrender. They did surrender,
not only their arms and munitions of war,
but the principles on which the rebellion
rested, and they were therefore entitled, with
certain limitations, to the rights given them
by the ':lonstitution. So the Government was
restrained by the Constitution from doing
anything toward those States which it might
not do properly and rightly toward others.
The gentleman (Mr. Shellabarger) had
taken the ground that habitual obedience
to law was essential to the continued exist
ence of a State, in the view of public law,
and had quoted Wheaton in support of it,
assuming, however, that that habitual obe
dience must be uninterrupted. This last.
assumption was at variance with what was
laid down by Wheaton, who said that what
ever may be the internal constitution or
form of a government, even though the
State be distracted with anarchy, it still
subsists a State in the contemplation of law,
until its sovereignty is completely extin
guished by. the fial dissolution of the social
tie. The mere interruption of obedience
did not extinguish a State.
There were examples of this all over the
world, where habitual obedience to law was
suspended, sometimes by anarchy, some
times by usurpation, sometimes by civil
war. It was so in the great French revo
lution. Some English publicists, Burke
among them, had contended that the social
tie was dissolved, and • that France had
ceased to be a State, but it was never so re
garded by England or the European coali
tion. The Mexican empire to-day was
another illustration. There there was usur
pation; there habitual obedience to law had
been suspended, and he who was regarded
as its rightful ruler was a fugitive among
the mountains, but when Jaurez should
come back and take possession of the go
vernment of Mexico, would it be contended
that the State had ceased to exist?
The point in regard to the continued exist
ence of the States of the Union was the same.
Suppose that in a war with England she
should take possession of the State of Mas
sachusetts, and plant her armies all around
its borders,and suppose the occupation were
prolonged for a year, or two years, or three
years, would Massachusetts cease to be a
State of the - Union? Would she not, when
ever the usurping power was expelled,
stand in her old place as one of the States?
Mr. Shellabarger explained that his posi
tion was that when States ceased for the
time being to be States of the Union, they
could not, under our' system, revive to the
governing status without the leave of the
General Government.
Air. Raymond said the Southern States
did not cease to be States in the scope of in
ternational law. There never had been a
time that they had not government and law,
and obedience to law. It did not require
obedience to any particular form of la w to
make a State a State. It might be a repu'llic
to-day, a monarchy to-morrow, and a des
potism the next day, but still it continued
to be a State. Was there au hour when
England and France would not have recoL.--
nized any of the rebel States as a State
the sense of public law? Not at all. They
never ceased to be a State. They were
States in the sense of public international
law, and in the contemplation of the United
states, because the habitual obedience due
from them to the Government of the United
States was only suspended, not abrogated
or destroyed.
If they had succeeded in refusing that
obedience permanently and forever, then
they would have ceased to be States in the
Union, not otherwise. uring the war of
1812, the British took posSession of one-third
of le territory of Maine, including the
town and port of Castine, and held it a year
so completely and absolutely, that the peo
ple were held by the courts to have been
absolved from obedience to the Government;
but had Congress been called on to act when
the usurpation was withdrawn ? No. The
State renewed its functions, and went on
just as if the usurpation had never existed.
That was precisely the position of the
rebel States. In the winter of 1860 and
spring of 1861, a conspiracy against the Go
vernment of the United States existed in
this city, in this House, aided by agents
and co-conspirators in other sections of the
country. It was the duty of the Govern
ment to take precautions against the pro
jected usurpation. The distinguished chief
tain then at the head of the army had re
commended the stationing of troops at cer
tain points in the Southern States to prevent
the success of such an attempt at usurpa
tion. The Government failed to perform its
duty. The President of the United States
had a theory which prevented him; and
even the Congress of that day would have
refused to give him the power to do it ef
fectually. Through the defaAt of the Go
vernment, therefore, the usurpation ac
quired force.
Who did not believe that if there had been
a reasonable force stationed in North Carq
lina, that State would never had fallen into
the hands of traitors and usurpers? The
same was true of almost all the other States;
if the Government had performed its solemn
obligation to guarantee to each State a re
publican form of government, the rebellion
would have been prevented. If a usurpa
tion does not necessarily of itself take a
State out of the Union until it proves a
success, when does that place? Unles&
it holds out permanently it is not a success,
and does not achieve the object of taking
a State out of the Union. The people of the
South had no choice in the matter. If they
refused obedience to the usurping power,
they were punished for •their refusal. If
they hesitated,their goods were confiscated.
I 'the usurpers had been expelled in six
MO ths * in one year, or in two'years, would
an body have contended that -the States
we e out of the Union?, and would any one
no point out the precise line in point of
THE DAILY EVENING . BULLETIN ; PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, JANUARY 30,1866:
„
time when a State goes out of the Union by
the usurpation of its powers? All through
the war delegates and Representatives from
States that were in - rebel - hands—Louisiana,
Tennessee and Kentucky—were admitted to
this House. The gentleman from Penn
sylvania (Mr. Broomall) had been facetious
in alluding to the fact that he (Mr. Ray
mond) curiously coincided in this matter
with the gentleman from New Jersey (Mr.
Rogers).
he (Mr. Raymond) had learned long ago
that it was much better to be right with a
political opponent than wrong with a poli
tical adheretit, and be had no hesitation in
saying that he would far rather be right
with the gentleman from New Jersey than
be wrong even in such distinguished com
pany as that-of the gentlemen from Penn
sylvania. He knew nothing but right or
wrong in this question, and should act on
his own judgment., endeavoring to be right
on every point. The gentleman from Penn
sylvania would find that this was no new
position for hi m,for he had expressed himself
to the same effect in a speech at Wilmington ,
Del., in the fall of 1863. If the States had
gone out of the Union, they must have gone
at some particular time, and in cqnsequence
of some specific act, and he asked for a defi
nition of the time and act. It was easy to
tell when each State became a member of
the Union, and it should be no less easy to
tell when it ceased to be one, if it ever did.
When did South Carolina cease to be a
member? Was it the day she adopted the
ordinance of secession ? Did the act 'of
secession make her cease to be a member?
Would any gentleman maintain that theory?
He did not understand the gentleman from
Ohio to maintain that position.
Mr. Shellabarger—l did not maintain that
position.
Mr. Raymond—lf the passage of the ordi l
minces of secession did not effect the sever
ance of the rebel States from the Union,
what did? Was it the fact that they made
war? That fact was nothing in itself. That
was a game which two could play at. And
unless they made successful war, the fact
of making war had no relevancy at all, and
could work no change in their constitutional
relations. Was it the duration of the war
that accomplished the result? If so, what
was the length of time essential to its ac
complishment? Was it the mode of making
wat? The fact—alluded to by the gentleman
from Pennsylvania (Mr. Broomall) —of
their converting the bones of martyred
heroes into ornaments? Of course,- no one
pretended that. If, then, it was neither the
tact of making war, nor the duration of the
war, nor the mode of carrying it on, which
effected the severance of the rebel States,
what was there left but the result of the war
which could accomplish it? If the war had
been successful, then, and then only, would
the purpose of separating from the Union
have been accomplished.
Mr. Raymond submitted the following
points:
First. That we ought to accept the status
of the Southern States as having assumed,
tinder the President's guidance, their func
tions of self-government in the Union.
Second. That the House should decide on
the admission of Representatives by dis
tricts, admitting none but loyal men whit
can take the oath prescribed, holding all
others as disqualified; the Senate acting on
its discretion in the same way in regard to
the representatiues of States.
Third. That we should provide by law for
giving to the black men of the Southall the
rights of citizens in Courts of law and else
where,
Fourth. Exclude from Federal offices the
leading actors in the rebellion.
Fifth. Adopt such amendments to the Con
stitution as may seem wise to Congress and
to the States, acting freely and without coer
clot].
,Sixth. Take such measures of precaution
as will prevent the overthrow in any State
of a republican form of government.
In conclusion, he said: "I have only to
thank the House for the very great indul
gence with which it has listened to my
remarks, and I have spoken from a sincere
desire to promote the peace and harmony of
the Union and the permanent welfare of the
country, which we have struggled so hard
and so successfully to save. If I have said
things just and wise, I beg you not to let
them be disparaged by anything unkind or
unwise that I may have uttered. I beg you
to bear in mind'this fact: That we of the
North and of the South are at war no longer.
The gigantic contest is at an end. The dead
of the contending hosts sleep at last beneath
the soil of a common country, under their
common flag. Their hostilities are hushed,
and they are the dead of the nation forever
more. The victor may well exult in the
victory he has achieved; let it be our task,
as it will be our highest glory, to make the
vanquished and their posterity, to the latest
generation, rejoice in the end."
Mr. Raymond spoke for a little over two
hours, and was listened to with marked
attention.
Mr. Julian (Indi spoke for a few minutes,
declaring he was against adopting a tem
porising policy. The rebels of the South
'iate the negroes, not simply as allies of the
Yankees, but as the authors of their Lllis
ha-times. They hate them with a nine:tr
that crops out all over the South. They
would not voluntarily gsve equal political
rights to the negro, They declare they
amid die rather than do so. There should
he a constitutional amendment, or a law
Congress, guaranteeing the ballot to the
ne ,, rtt'es of the South. Let us not, he said,
utie enemies of four millions of people,
among, whom there were no traitors, and
ho would be found iu the future, as in the
past, our most affectionate allies.
The previous question was ordered on re
ommitting the subject, and the House
adjourned.
