M.XXIXth CONGRESS.-MUMT SESSION.
idthgE OF YESTERDAY'S . FHOCEEDINOS.I
SENATE.—The veto message being taken
up, Mr. Trumbull spoke at length upon the
President's objections against the Civil,
Bights bill, reviewing each in detail.
Mr. Trumbull said he should endeavor to
show that the bill was not unjust nor un
_constitutional. He quoted from Chief Jus
tice Marshall, that "a citizen of the United
States residing in any State of the Union is
a citizen of that State," and said that unless
that high authority is to be disregarded, the
President of the United States is mistaken
in this law. He also quoted from Law
rence's Wheaton to show that there have
been several cases of collective naturaliza
tion by annexation of territories. He said
that if the eleven Southern States were un
represented in Congress it was not the fault
of the twenty-five loyal States.
Mr. Trumbull continued: Sir, this propo
sition. that no bill is to be passed because
certain States are unrepresented, when it is
their own fault that they are unrepresented,
wbtild be utterly destructive of the Govern;
rrient. But then, the President tells us, that
the bill in effect professes to discriminate
against a large number of intelligent,
worthy, and patriotic foreigners, and in fa
vor of the negro. Now, sir, is that true?
What is the bill? Why, it declares that
there shall be no distinction in civil rights
between any other race or color and the
white race. It declares that there shall be
no different punishment inflicted on a co
lored man in consequence of his color than
that which is inflicted on a white man for
the same offence. Is that a discrimination
in favor of the negro and against the
foreigner, in a bill, the only object of which
is, to preserve equality of rights?
- Mr. Trumbull, after discussing the ob
jections of the President to the second sec
tion, reviewed other portions of the veto
message. In proof that conflicting legisla
tion existed, and that danger was to be ap
prehended from conflicting legislation not
yet effected. Mr. Trumbull cited official
returns of military officers connected with
the Freedmen's Bureau, of State laws re
cently enacted in prohibition of the right of
the negro to lease or to own land, and other
rights secured to them in this bill. He also
referred to the military orders sanctioned
by the President, showing the same thing
among them; those of general sickness at
Charleston, cautioning the law-making au
thorities against discriminating against any
class of the population, declaring that all
laivs should affect alike all the inhabitants
of the State, and that they should expressly
secure in all respects equal justice to freed
men as to all other people.
Mr. Trumbull said that the President
never indicated to him, nor so far as he
knew, to any of its friends, the least objec
tion to any of the provisions of the bill till
after its passage.
In conclusion, Mr. Trumbull said—Mr.
President, I have now gone through this
veto message, replying with what patience
I could command to its various objections
to the bill. Would that I could stop here;
that there was no occasion to go farther;
but justice to myself, justice to the State
whose representative I am, justice to the
people of the whole country, in legislating
an whose behalf lam called to participate;
justice to the Constitution I am sworn to
support, justice to the rights of American
citizenship it secures, and to human liberty,
now imperiled, require me to go further.
Gladly would I refrain from speaking of the
spirit of this message, of the dangerous doc
trines it promulgates, of the inconsistencies
and contradictions of its author, of his en
croachments upon the Constitutional rights
of Congress, and his assumption of unwar
ranted powers, which, if persevered in, and
not checked by the people, must eventually
lead to the subversion of the Government
and the destruction of liberty.
Congress, in the passage of the bill under
considrration, sought no controversy with
the President. So far from it, the bill was
proposed with a view to carry out what
men supposed to be the views of the Presi
dent, and was submitted to him before its
introduction into the Senate. lam not able
to relate private declarations of the Presi
_Alent, but it is right that the American peo
ple should know that the controversy which
exists between him and Congress, in refer
lame to this measure, is of his own seeking.
fioon alter Congress met it became apparent
ihrii 1% , ,1113 difference of opinion be
tween the President and BP TM meat . begs of
Congress in regard to tin condition of the
rebellious States and the rights to be secured
to freedmen.
'The President in his annual message had
denied the constitutional power of the
General Government to extend the elective
franchise to negroes, but he was equally
decided in the assertion of the right of every
man to "life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness." This was his language:—"But
while I have no doubt that now, after the
close of the war, it is not competent for the
General Government to extend the elective
franchise in the several States, it is equally
clear that good faith requires the security
of the freedmen in their liberty and in their
property."
There were some members of Congress
who expressed the opinion that in the reor
ganization of the rebellious States the right
of suffrage should be extendedto the colored
man. Though this was not the prevailing
-sentiment of Congress, all were anxious for
a reorganization of the rebellious States and
their admission to full participation in the
Federal Government as soon as the rela
tions could be restored with safely to all
concerned.
Feeling the importance of harmonious
action between the different Departments of
the Government, and an anxious desire to
sustain the President, for whom I had
always entertained the highest respect, I
had frequent interviews with him during
the early part of the session. Without men
tioning anything said by him : I may, with
perefct safety, state that, acting from the
considerations I have stated. and believing
that the passage of a law by Congress se
curing equality in civil rights when denied
by State authorities to freedmen and all
other inhabitants of the United States,
would do much to relieve anxiety in the
North, and induce the Southern States to
secure those rights by their own action, and
thereby remove many of the obstacles to an
early reconstruction, I prepared the bill
substantially as it is now returned with the
President's objections.
After the bill was introduced and a printed
copy was furnished him, and at a subse
quent period, when it was reported that he
was hesitating about signing the Freed
men's Bureau bill, he was informed of the
condition of the Civil Rights bill, then pend
ing in the House, and a hope expressed that
if he had objections to any of its provisions
he would make them known to its friends,
that they might be remedied if not destruc
tive of the measure; that there was believed
to be no disposition on the part of Congress,
and certainly none on my part to have bills
presented to him which he could not ap
prove. •He never indicated to me, nor, so
far as I know, to any of his friends, the
least objection to any of the provisions of
the bill till after its passage. And how
could he, consistently with himself? The
bill was framed, as was supposed, in entire
harmony with his views, and certainly in
harmony with what he was then and has
since been doing in protecting freedman in
their civil rights all through the rebellious
States.
It was strictly limited to the protection of
tee civil rights belonging to every freedmen
.--the birthright of every American citizen—
and'carefully avoiding conferring or inter
fering with political rights or privileges of
any- kind. The bill neither confers nor
abridges the, rights of 'any one, but simply
declares that, in civil rights, there shall be
an equality among all classes of_citizens,
pad that alike; shall b 3, subject to the
same punishment. Each State, so it does
not abridge the great fundamental rights
belonging, under the Constitution, to all
citizens, may grant or withhold such civil
rights as it pleases. All that is required is
that, in this respect, its laws shall be im
partial, and yet this is the bill now returned
with the President's objections; and such
objections! What are they? That "in all
our history, in all our experience as a peo
ple, living under Federal and State laws, no
such system as that contemplated by the de
tails of this bill has ever before been pro
posed or adopted."
Have I not already shown in the action of
the President Himself, through General
Sickles, declaring that "all laws - shall be
applicable alike to all inhabitants," and in
various acts of Congress a precedent for
every provision of this bill. "The details
of tile bill," says the' President, "establish
for the security of the colored race safe
guards which go infinitely beyond any that
the General Government has ever pro
vided for the white race." With what truth
this can' be said of a bill which'' declares
that the civil rights and the punishment of
all races, including, of course, the colored,
shall be the same as those "of white per
sons," let an intelligent public judge.
"They". (the details), says the President,
"interfere with the municipal legislation of
the States, with the relations existing ex
clusively between a State and its citizens,
or between the inhabitants of the same
State, an absorption and assumption of
power of the General Government which,
acquiesced in, must sap and destroy our
federative system of limited powers, and
break down the barriers which preserve
the rights of the States. It is another step,
or rather stride, toward centralization and
the concentration of all legislative powers
in the National Government."
All this is said by a President who by his
own fiat issued through General Howard,
set aside an act of the. Legislature of Mis
sissippi, and by another order through
General Terry, an act of the Virginia Legis
lature, and forbade any magistrate or civil
officers from attempting to execute it, who,
through General Canby, ordered the State
courts to suspend all suits against persons
charged with offences for which white per
sons were not punished, and we all know
the penalty which would have been visited
upon Stalejudges or officials for a violation
of any of these orders.
A President who, after vetoing a provi
sion of the Freedman's Bureau bill because
it secured to the occupants of the land under
Major-General Sherman's order, possession
for the period of three years, himself issued
an order within less than thirty days after
wards, through H. W. Smith, Assistant Ad
jutant-General, declaring that grants of
lands to the freed people, in compliance with
General Sherman's Special Field Orders, No.
15, dated January 16th, 1565, will be regarded
as good and valid! Well may we exclaim,
in view of these acts of the President, in hi.
own language, when discussing a veto of
President Buchanan, " Oh, consistency,
thou art a jewel much to be admired, bac
rarely to be found !"
In view of these facts, who is it that is
breaking down the barriers of the States,
and making strides toward centralization?
Is it Congress, by the passing of this bill, or
the President. who, - without law, is arro
gating to himself far greater powers than
any conferred by this bill? Let it not be
said that the President exercises these vast
powers by virtue of the war power. He told
us in his annual message that the war was
over, and whether over or not, no inciden
tal powers are vested by the Constitution in
the .President, either as President or Coin
mander-in-Chief of the army. The instru
ment gives Congress power to make all laws
necessary and proper for carrying into exe
cution all powers vested by the Constitution
in the Government of the United States, or
in any departrhent or officer thereof.
The President is required, in carrying out
his powers, to act in obedience to law, the
very thing which he refuses to do. He says:
"The tendency of this bill must be to re
suscitate the spirit of the rebellion."
What assumption in one who denies the
authority to punish those who violate
United States laws, under color of State au
thority, a doctrine from which the rebellion
sprung, and in entire harmony with the
declaration of Mr. Buchanan that "there
was no power to coerce a State." But, sir,
out of the mouth of senator AndreW John
son I will prove that President Andrew
Johnson has violated the spirit of the Con
stitution in its letter in vetoing this bill. It
will be remembered that the bill passed
both Houses of Congress by more than a
two-thirds majority, the vote in the Senate
being yeas 33 to nays 12, and in the House
yeas 111 to nays 38. I will read from the
remarks of Senator Andrew Johnson on
the veto of the Homestead Bill by Mr.
Buchanan.
"The President of the United States pre
sumes—yes, sir, I say presumes—to dictate
to the American people and to the two
Houses of Congress, in violation of the
spirit if not the letter of the Constitution,
that this measure shall not become a law.
Why do I say this? I ask, is there any dif
ference in the spirit of the Constitution
whether a measurr is sanctioned by a two
thirds vote before its passage or afterwards?
When•a measure has been vetoed by the
President, the Constitution requires that it
shall be reconsidered apd passed by a two
thirds vote in order to become a law; but
here, in the teeth of the Executive, there
was a two-thirds vote in favor of this bill.
The vote was 36 to 12 in this body. The two
Houses have said that this measure is con
stitutional and right. In the other House,
reflecting the popular sentiment of the na
tion, the vote was 112 to 51—ten more than
the two-thirds majority which the Constitu
tion requires. And when there is a two
thirds vote for a measure, I say it is against
the spirit of the Constitution for the Execu
tive to say, 'No! you shall not have this
measure; I will take all the chances of ve
toing it.'"
Apply this language to the facts connected
with this bill and then say who has violated
the spirit of the Constitution? This bill in
no manner interferes with the - municipal
regulations of any State, which protects all
alike in their rights of person and property.
It could have no operation in Massachusetts,
New York, Illinois, or most of the States of
the Union. How preposterous then to
charge that unless some State can have and
exercise the right to punish somebody or to
deny somebody a civil right on account of
his color, that its rights as a State shall be
destroyed. It is manifest that unless this
bill can be passed nothing can be done to
protect the freedmen in their liberty and
their rights.
Whatever may have been :the opinion of
the President at one time as to "good faith
requiring the security of the freedmen in
their liberty and their property," it is, now
manifest, from the character of his objec
tions to this bill, that he will approve no
measure that will accomplish this object.
Thatithe second clause of the Constitutional
amendment gives this power there can be
no, question. Some have contended that it
gives the rower even to confer the right of
suffrage. I have not thought so, because I
have never thought suffrage any more ne
cessary to the liberty of freedmen than of a
non-voting white, whether child or female.
But his liberty, under the Constitution, he
is entitled to, and whatever is necessary to
him he is entitled to have, be it the ballot or
the bayonet. If the bill now before us, and
which goes no further than to secure civil
rights to the freedom, catmot be passed,
then the Constitutional amendment ideclar
ing freedmen to all the inhabitants of the
land is a cheat and a delusion.
I cannot better conclude what I have to
say than, in, the language of Mr. Johnson,
on the occasion of the veto of the Homestead
bill, when, after stating that the fact that
the President was inconsistent,and changed
his`opinion in reference to a g!eat measure
and a great principle there is no reason
THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN ; PHILADELPHIA, T HUE SDAY, APRIL 5,1866.
why a Senator or Representative who had
acting understandingly should change his
opinion. He said: "I hope the Senate and
Rouse of Representatives who have sanc
tioned this bill by more than a two-thirds
majority,will,according to, the Constitution,
exercise their privilege and power, and let
the bill become a law of the land, accord
ing to the high behest of the American
people."
The further consideration of, the subject
was postponed till to-morrow, on motion of
Mr. Johnson (Md.) who desires to address
the Senate on it.
On motion of Mr. Harris, the Senate took
up the bill to reorganize the Judiciary of
the United States.
After discussion, the bill was placed upon
the third reading, and passed—yeas 23,
nays 6.
The bill now goes to the House.
The Senate then adjourned.
HOUSE.—The morning hour having ex
pired, the House resumed the consideration
of the contested election caseof Dodgeagainst
Brooks, from the Eighth Congressional Dis
trict of New York.
Mr. Marshall (111.) resumed andcompleted
his argument in support of Mr. Brooks' right
to the seat.
At the conclusion of Mr. Marshall's re
marks, no other member seeking the floor,
the Speaker announced that the ques
tion was on the resolution offered by the
minority of the committee, declaring Mr.
Dodge not entitled to a seat the House.
Many members being at this time absent
from their seats, on motion of
Mr. Morrill (Vt.) there was a call of the
House. This brought in the members who
were in the Senate Chamber and in com
mittee rooms, and 124 answered to their
names,
Mr. Garfield moved to amend the substi
tute offered by the minority by inserting in
lieu of it that the testimony taken as to Mr.
Brooks be recommitted to the Committee
on Elections, with instructions to report es
pecially the facts as to the custom, under the
laws of New York, of appointing inspectors
of the registry of the election not from per
sons residingin the election district. Also,
the facts respecting the verification by
Mr. Brooks of the votes given for him
in the Fifteenth District of the Eighteenth
Ward, with power to send for persons and
pi3pers,&c.
Mr, Spaulding (Ohio) gave notice that he
would oiler as a a substitute for the 'resolu
tion reported by the committee a resolution
declaring that neither the sitting member
nor the contestant were duly elected, and
that the seat from the Eighth District of New
ork is vacant:
Mr. Schenck (Ohio) remarked that-the
same object would be reached by voting yea
on the resolution thritThlr. Brooks was not
duly elected, and by voting no that Mr.
Dodge was.
Mi...„ 4 Gartield spoke in support of his
amenonaent. After carefully reading both
reports, be was unwilling to vote either
way, and he wanted more light thrown on
the.subject. He called attention to the fact
that the committee entirely ignored one
election precinct, in which it was asserted
by the sitting member that fraudulent votei4
had been cast for the contestant, and - did
not make any examination into it or make
any remark upon it. It seemed that the
election was in the hands of the party fa
voring the election of the contestant, and
yet it was proposed to unseat the sitting
member on the allegation that the managing
party was defrauded. That was certainly
remarkable.
Mr. Farnsworth spoke In support of Mr.
Brooks's right to his seat. He said there
was no question about the fact that the
Eighth Congressional District of New York
was a Democratic district—he feared hope
lessly so. There was no proof in this case
bringing home to Mr. Brooks any fraud or
corruption. It was not shown that he used
any money to carry the election, or had any
knowledge or participation in any fraud.
His skirts were clear of any imputation o'
fraud or other corrupt practice, but, on the
other band, it was proved that the contest
ant did nee money and did pay to Barr, the
Tammany Hall candidate, two thousand
dollars to run against Brooks.
This point having been (-died in question.
Mr. Farnsworth read from the testimony
of Dodge, Legrande, Cannon, Elliott and
Cowding, to show that this sum was paid
for that purpose, and that the bargain with
Barr was made on a Sunday.
Mr.Shellabarger (Ohio) obtained the floor,
and the Brooks case went over till to--
morrow.
On, motion of Mr. Hayes, the Senate bill
to provide for the transfer of the custody of
the, Smithsonian library to the library of
Congress wa s taken from the Speaker's table,
considered and passed.
On motion of Mr. Hogan, the Senate bill
making a grant of land, in alternate sec
tions, to aid in the construction and exten
sion of the Iron Mountain Railroad, from
Pilot Knob, in the State of Missouri, to
Helena, in Arkansas, was taken from the
Speaker's table, read twice, and referred to
the Committee on Public Lands.
On motion of Mr. Trowbridge, leave was
given to report back from the committee on
Commerce the Senate bill to establish the
collection district of Port Huron and the
collection district of ;Michigan, and to ex
tend the district of Puget's Sound.
Mr. Was.hburne (Ill.) reported an amend
ment to strike out sedond section of the bill,
and insert in lieu of it "that the territory of
Montana and Idaho be, and the same are
hereby made, a new collection district, to be
called the District of Montana and Idaho,
and that a collector, with the same salary as
that provided for the Collector at Lake
Huron, be appointed to reside at a point to
be designated by the Secretary of the
Treasury."
Also, to add the following as a new sec
tion: The Collection District of Penobscot,
in the State of Maine, shall hereafter be
called the District of Castine."
The amendment was agreed to, and the
bill, as amended; passed.
The title was amended so as to read, "Act
to establish the Collection District of Port
Huron, the Collection District of Michigan,
the Collection District of Montana and
Idaho, and to change the name of the Col
loction District of Penobscot."
Mr. Conkling (N. Y.) presented the peti
tion of citizens of Bridgewater, New York,
praying protection to American wool. Re
ferred to the Committeeon Ways and Means.
Mr. Donnelly (Minn.) presented petitions
of citizens of the btate of Minnesota in favor
of an increase of the Rational banking capi
tal in the said State; also, in favor of action
by Congress for the better regulation of
insurance companies in the United States.
Mr. O'Neill presented a memorial of the
presidents of several saving fund societiesof
adelphia,asking that those institutions,
havinz, no capital stock.and whose business
is confined to deposits and loaningthe same
for the benefit of depositors only, may be
relieved from the tax on deposits and tax
on interest paid depositors. Referred to the
Committee on Ways and Means.
On motion of Mr. Morrill (Ver.), the Se•
nate bill to facilitate the settlement of the
accounts of the Treasurer of the United
States, and to secure certain moneys to the
people of the United States, or to persons to
whom they are due, and who are entitled to
receive the same, was taken from the
Speaker's table, read twice, and referred to
the Committee on Ways and Means. .
The Speaker presented the message re
ceived this day from the President of the
United States transmitting a communica
tion from the Secretary of the Treasury
dated the 22d of March, together with a
letter addressed by him to the Governor of
Alabama in reference to the payment by
the State of the direct tax.
On motion of Mr. Washburne (III.) the
message and accompanying documents
were referred to the Committee on Ways
and Means, and then, at four o'clock, the
House adjourned.
Ili<Colombian Commission
The Colombian Commission established
under the treaty of 1857, and renewed' by
the treaty of 1864, met at Washington yes
terday to heVdiscussed their most i m p ortant
cases. The questions involved were those
in which the commerce of New York and
the world is interested.
Colonel Thomas Biddle, for the United
States, a soldier and a diplomatist, rep
resented the United States, General Sulgar,
the. Minister from Colombia, and an ac
complished publicist, represented the other
Republic.
Between them sat Sir Frederick Bruce, a
lineal descendent of Sir Robert, and by his
experience, talents, and diplomacy one of
the leading men of the time in diplomatic
progress. He. has been abroad in India,
China, and South America, and by his pe
culiar talents, added to unfailing good hu
mor, he!has made himself, since his pres
ence in Washington, not only popular but
useful. He accepted this position of umpire
in order to forward the great principles of
conciliation between nations oat of which
these commissions'have grown. The cases
presented were those of the Panama Rail
road and Pacific Steamship Company
and the United States Mail Steamship
Company. ,
In all of them the question of damages
involving millions of dollars, came up for
settlement, the umpire being present. They
involved the freedom of the Isthmus as a
transit route, under treaties with the United
States and by the law of nations; freedom
for the railroad from mobs and disturb
ances under the contract; freedom from
passenger taxes; freedom from all
kinds of_ taxes levied by New Grenada,
and freedom for the use of the capital
and enterprise invested were all in con
troversy.
Hon. S. S. Coxe appeared as counsel for
the companies, and opened the case, occu
pying the day in presenting the questions
growing out of the riots of 1856, by which
the isthmus was disturbed, and all - the in
terests of railroad and steamship companies
were put in peril.
Mr. James M. Carlisle, for New Grenada,
follows Mr. Coxe to-morrow, Judge Dean,
of New York, on behalf of the United States
Steamship Company, will reply, and Mr,
Coxe will close the discussion.
No less a question than the peace, order
and freedom of the Isthmus of Panama, the
great highway of the commercial world, is
at stake. The damages claimed by Colom
bia, by reason of the obstruction of this
highway by riots and unfriendly legisla
tion, and illegal taxes, are immense. It, re
mains with the Minister of Great Britain to
say whether this isthmus, guaranteed by
treaty to be free, shall be so held in the
forum which is organized, with Great Bri
tain as the umpire.
