/CLOSE OF SATURDAY'S PROCEEDINGS.]
Honsn.—Mr. Miller (Pa) addressed the
House on the question of reconstruction. He
did oot agree with the doctrines enunciated
on that subject by his colleague (Mr, Ste
vens), or by his other colleague (Mr. Wil
liams), or by the able gentlemen from Ohio
(Mr. Shelia barger); for himself, he held that
no rebellious action could force a State out
of the Union. The Southern States, not
withstanding the rebellion, still remained
part and parcel of the Union. He would ac
• cord to the rebels no such honor as their be
ing successful in taking eleven States out of
the Union, or taking one State out. All the
action of the Confederate government was a
gross violation of right. That government
Lad never been admitted into the family of
nations. The Federal Government had over
those States and their people all its legal
rights, as well as the rights of war.
Mr. John L. Thomas,4x., (Md.), next ad--
dressed the House on the question of recon
struction. He held that Congress had full!'
control over the whole subject. The un
seemly haste on the -part of the late rebel. -
States to be admitted to representation in m
Congress on their own terms was only,l
equaled by their precipitate action in leav
bg the halls of Congress in. 1861. They had
then attempted to brealt'up, by force of
arms, the, government which they iVotiild '-
'breakup to-morrow by political trickery; if
they had the power. His own desire was
that the rebel States should have their repre
sentatives in Congress; but, at the same . '
time, he was sensible of the duty which he
owed to the country, and to those loyal men
of the South who had stood true to the
-Union in the hour of peril. As he had never •
entertained a doubt that the rebellion would
be finally firthshed out, and traitors nut& to
feel the enormity of their guilt, and although
to-day he felt'sadly disappointed that traitors
had not met that punishment which their
' crime deserved, stilly he had confidence in
the devotion and patriotism of the loyal
masses of the people that they would never
allow these rebels to dictate the terms on
which they should assume their relations to
the government.
Either they were to be consulted as to
what conditions would.best please them, or
Congress was to lay down the terms on
which they were to be received back. While
he denied that any State could be taken out
of the Union, yet its government could be
so usurped and destroyed as not only to re
quire remodeling, but to require a whole
new frame-work. It was for Congress to
decide, not only whether the State govern
ments of the South, having been subverted,
have been reconstructed, but to examine
and see how they have been reconstructed,
and whether they are so reconstructed as to
entitle them to representation. These &ales
should remain wbere they had remained
• for the last four years—in the Union, to be
sure, because they had not the power to get
out of it; but in the Union divested of their
right of representation in Congress, until
the masses of the loyal people of the country
had so hedged them in with guarantees and
safeguards that they could be safely in
trusted with that right He believed that
the country was on the eve of a revolution
as portentous to the next generation as the
aecent rebellion had been to this. The very
men who had brought on the war of rebel
lion were striving to-day to get back to the
places they had so ignominiously deserted,
in order that they might control the govern
ment which they had so impiously striven
to overthrow. •
He believed that the President had made
• a great and sad, and he feared a fatal mis
take, in theindiscriminate manner in which
he had granted pardons. It was no wonder
that the red-handed traitors were such
friends to the President's policy, because
they saw that that policy was to give them
back all their rights as fully, and place
them in possession of the government as
Theyfull, as before they went into the rebellion.
President's policy had done more to
make treason respected and traitors heroes
than the establishment of an independent
confederate government could have done.
„Tithe President's policy were carried out,
it would not only put the eleven rebel States
in the hen& of rebels, but the time would
cot be long before rebels would have com
plete control of the government in all its
departments. It was no wonder that every
rebel, from Davis down to every subaltern,
jncluding bushwhackers; jayhawkers and
guerillas, was an earnest and devoted ad
mirer of the President's policy. It was just
the policy for them, because it was the only
. one they could live by, and the one which
they professed through their papers to be
ready to die by, He desired to see a con-
Si itution al amendment adopted prohibiting
ingress from repudiating any part of the
Federal debt, and from assuming or paying
any part of the confederate debt; for al
though there was no fear of such a thing
from the present or the next Congress, there
was no knowing what might be done if the
rebel States were admitted to representa
tion in Congress.
Mr. Smith (Ky.) was the next to address
the House. He proposed, he said, to dis
cuss the present condition of the States and
country, and the position of the President
and of Congress. He said that all secession
ordinances were null and void, and all the
acts passed by Congress during the four
years of war were based upon the ground
that these rebel States were not oat of the
Union, and could not get out of the Union.
It ,did not follow that, because the rebel
States were admitted to the right of repre
sentation in Congress disloyal representa
tives should be allowed to take seats in
either House. That had never lien asked
by the President or any other loyal man ?
What could Congress do contrary to what
had been done ? The policy inaugurated
by the late President Lincoln, and carried
out by President Johnson, under which the
Southern States had formed their organiza
tion, how was it to be changed, or what was
to be made in it ?
Mr. Schofield (Pa.) asked if it made any
difference whether a man who had been en
gaged in the rebellion was admitted as a
representative, or a man who had not been
engaged in the rebellion, but who would
vote exactly as the ex-rebel would vote.
Mr. Smith replied that he did not see how
that difficulty could ever be avoided. There
was nothing in the Constitution or laws by
which it could be done. It did not follow
that his own district or the district of his
very radical friend, Mr. McKee, would
hereafter send representatives of their
stamp. Because the State of Illinois sent
to this House a man who was seven feet
eleven inches high, did it follow that the
same district would hereafter send a man
of the same stature, or of the same strong
political views. [Laughter.] What legis-
lation could regulate this thing?
Mr. Bontwell asked whether the gentle
man did not see a difference between can
vassing tbepolitical opinions of men elected
from loyal States on questions concerning
the administration of Government, and re
cognizing the right of people, who are at
present not represented to be represented
until some affirmative action is taken on
the part, of the Government. If it was
found, as it was found by, the testimony of
Alexander H. Stephens and others, that in
some of those rebel States nine-tenths of the
people denied the right of the Government
to exist, were they to beallowed to come to
Congress and assert the power of represen
tation for the overthrow of the Government
Mr. Smith admitted the difference in the
two propositions, but he did not see why
States in which those conditions did not
exist should not be admitted to representa
tion..:.,,tMr: andalf(Pa.) askbd Mr. Boutwell
whether the'rights of the loyal one-tenth of
a State were to - be impaired by the disloyal
nine tenths; and whether, that loyal tenth,
being taxed,. was notAntitled to representa
tion; . " • •
t Session.
Mr. Boutwell replied that the right of re
presentation, whether in the Senate ot in
the House, was a right appertaining to the
States as States, and that it could be exer
cised by the people only through an exist
ing and recognized State organization. The
State organizations in those eleven States
which had once existed in harmony with
the organization of the National Govern
ment, had by some event or series of events
ceased to exist as a matter of fact, because
they were not represented in Congress.
That was the evidence that they had ceased
to exist. When, or why, or how, it was not
important to inquire now. Before the right
of representation could be again exercised
in any of these States, there must be a pre
vious recognition of such rights. In the
inquiry as to the right of a State to be ro
presented, its constitnion must be looked
into, and it must be ascertained whether
there is such an existing loyal sentiment as
would reasonably justify the expectation
that the representatives from the State
would be loyal. There was no right in the
• one-tenth of the people of a State, even
though loyal, to be represented in Congress.
It was the right of the people of the whole
State, when they demonstrated as a whole
their loyalty to the Government, to be re
.,presented as the people of a State.
Mr. Randall (Pa.) remarked that that
overturned the doctrines of Mr. Lincoln
from beginning to end.
Mr. 'Smith having resumed the floor,
drifted, to the question of conflict between
the President and the Congress. He asked
why, if the President had no power to do
what he bad done, COngress had not undone
it, and done something else that would be
better? What was Congress going to do in
its place? State governments must exist,
and there must be the same sort of ma
chinery to, carry them on. But it was said
the Southern States must repudiate the rebel
debt. That has been done. It was said
that they must ratify the constitutional
amendment abolishing slavery. That had
been done also. Then it was said that they
must elect loyal men to Congress. How did
Congress know that that had not been done
in every instance? Who had tried that
question? The Committee on Elections,
which was the proper authorityon that sub
ject, had said nothing upon it. In exclu
ding those States from representation, Con
gress was doing a wrong which would result
in injury to the Government. Drifting into
the Question of the trial of Jeff. Davis he
said - that•the President had reserved from
pardon five hundred of the leading men of
the rebellion, and he asked why Congress
had not, by bill or resolution, called for
their trial and execution. It was because
Congress wanted to dodge the question.
Mr. Eldridge inquired whether Mr. Smith
supposed that Congress had power to pass
laws by which those men could be tried and
condemned, or whether they must not by
tried under the laws existing at the time the
crime was committed?
Mr. Smith replied that as a matter of course
they must be tried under the laws existing
at the time the crime was committed, but
Congress could fix the means by which they
could be brought to justice.
Mr. Eldridge inquired further whether
they must not be tried in the districts pre
scribed by law?
Mr. Smith agreed to that, and said that the
districts were as numerous as the men to be
tried. They could be tried in Virginia, and
all the Southern States, because the courts
were re-established.
Mr. Broomall (Pa.) asked what additional
law was necessary, and what power Con
gress had to pass a law for the trial of per-
SOBS for crimes committed heretofore?
Mr. Eldridge suggested, as an additional
question, what the President had to do
with it?
Mr. Smith said he knew that Congress
could not pass an es post facto law, but he
could understand very well the effort that
was being made by men to avoid by legisla
tion or non-legislation the bringing of these
men to trial. It was because they knew it
would affect the true policy adoptediby Pre.
sident Johnson.
Mr. Broomall inquired what power Con
gress had in the matter.
Mr. Smith retorted by asking what power
the President had.
Mr. Broomall suggested he had the power
to execute the existing laws.
Mr. Smith said that President Johnson
had pursued the policy inaugurated by Pre
sident Lincoln, and that Congress would not
dare to destroy it, because Congress felt the
force and effect of that policy on the coun
try, and knew that the great masses of the
Union people would sobn rise and maintain
it, and that the leaders whro were opposing
it would go down and be forgotten and un
wept.
Mr. Randall (Pa.) suggested that the Pre
' sident had, on the 2d of October, 1865, ad
dressed a letter to Chief Justice Chase on the
subject, and that the Chief Justice on the
12th of the same month had replied, declin
ing to hold such court as had been suggest&
by the President, and 'suggesting a trial by
military commission.
Mr. Shellabarger (Ohio) desired to make
a statement in that connection. He said
that within a few days past the Attorney
General of the United States had stated to
him and another gentleman, not in confi
dence or privately, that the position taken
by the Chief Justice was proper, as the con
dition of the country was such as to make a
judicial trial, under circumstances, nought
else than a mockery. •
Mr. Ritter (Ky.) next addressed the House
on the question, chietly,of the relative value
of slave labor and free labor, contending
that slave labor was more profitable to a
State, and comparing the productive and
property statistics of Ohio and Kentucky,
and of Illinois, and Alabama. He subse
quently admitted, however, in response to
Mr. Kelley, that the statistics he had cited
embraced the assessed? value of the slaves.
He appealed to Congress, if it did not desire
the repudiation of the Federal debt, to stop
in its mad career—to cease in its efforts to
force its peculiar views on the people of the
late slave States. They should imitate the
noble examples of the President, and open
the doors of Congress to the representatives
duly elected. Each State should be left•to
control its own internal affairs, subject to
the Constitution and laws of the United
States. This was the only way in which
they could have a restored Union.
Mr. Shellabarger next; addressed the
House. He reminded it that, some weeks
ago he had introduced a resolution request
ing the Judiciary Committee to inquire as
to whether it was competent, unaer the
American Constitution, for Congress to de
elate a forfeiture of citizenship by act of
law where that citizenship had been volun
tarily abandoned by acts of disloyalty.
Since that resolution had been adopted he
was glad to find that the distinguished gen
tleman who occupied the chair of this House
had been reflecting on this great question in
the same direction to which the resolution
pointed. One of the most distinguished
lawyers of the House had also introduced a
set of resolutions bearing on the same idea,
and expressing, with more distinctness, a
plan for putting in application that power of
the government.
He was glad, therefore, to find these and
other evidences that the mind of the coun
trywas being now directed towards this
important practical question, as one of the
means which may be resorted to for the
purpose of relieving the government from
these questions of terrible embaqassment
by which it is surrounded. He desired now
to direct his remarks to that great question,
in the breach between the President and
Cobaress touching the method of restoring
the States in recent revolt. In the bauses
for that breach most men found the occasion
for alarm. If, however, any faith could be
placed in the most solemn utterances or
Congress and of the President, then they did
not differ, but did most precisely agree upon
one at least of the most important and deci
THE DAILY EVENING- BULLETIN; PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, APRIL 23,1866
sive principles and means for the restoration
of those States to power. He solemnly
averred ins belief that if the President and
Congress had the constitutional right to em
ploy the means to which he alluded for the
restoration of the States; and if they would
in good faith unite to apply and put in force
the principle which both professed to hold,
the work of reconstruction would be, if not
easy, at least ultimately certain and at once
secured. That principle was that in all
those States the truly loyal should alone
have powers of government, either by the
holding of office or by the exercise of the
elective franchise, and "that the conscious
and responsible leaders of the rebellion
should. be tried, convicted, and executed."
If the loyal people of those States had full
control of their government. he saw no rea
son why each of those States should not be
welcomed to-day to the embraces of the pa
rent government with an acclaim of joy al
most like that which the angels gave at Beth
lehem.
Mr. Hale interrupted to ask a question.
The drift of the gentleman's argument, he
esaid, was to show that Congress migle
lawfully enact forfeiture of citizenship as a
penalty for having been engaged in rebel
lion against the Government. He sub
mitted whether there was not another diffi
culty in the case, namely: that by an
express provision of the Constitution
which the gentleman had failed to.
notice, the imposition of a new pen
alty for any crime whatever committed ,
before the passage of the act is expressly
and directly within the definition of an ex
post facto law, and whether it was not there- ,
by forbidden by the Constitution as effec
tually as bills of attainder were forbidden?
If Congress might by legislation enact the
penalty of lossof citizenship for disloyalty,
might it not by the same rules enact any
other or different penalty for an offence
committed before the passage of the act?
Mr. Shellbarger replied that that provi
sion of. the Constitution had no application
o the matter he was discussing. That pro
vision related to the punishment of crime
as such, and to the forfeiture of rights in the
punishment of crime, whereas what be was
considering was an exercise of national
sovereignty, not in punishment of crime,
but simply in depriving men who by acts
of disloyalty had voluntarily renounced
their allegiance to their own government,
in the right to resume their political powers.
He would not have what he said pushed to
any other Consequence than the conse
quences to which be pushes his argument,
namely, that the right of citizenship, being
of no national donation, of national defini
tion, of national control, was a matter the
deprivation of which as a consequence of
voluntary surrender of the obligations of
citizenship is not an infliction of punish
ment for crime, but is simply the declara
tion of the sovereign that as they had sur
rendered their political franchises th-y
should not continue to exercise them. .tie
sustained his position also by reference to a
provision in the army appropriation bill of
1864, declaring that deserters from the army
forfeited all the rights of citizenship, and
were forever incapable of holding any office
of trust or profit in the United States, or of
exercising any right of citizenship, and he
asked whether desertion was a higher
offence than four years of war against the
national existence. The passage of such a
law as he suggested would stand as a prac
tical assertion of the exercise and applied.
lion of the national powers of self-preserva
tion for which he contended.
Mr. Hale rose and said be did not wish
to put himself in the position of the gentle
man to whom Goldsmith alluded, "who
"thought fof convincing while others
thought o dining;" but he would take the
privilege of calling the attention of the
gentleman who had just made an argu
ment which, for elaborateness, learning
and fairness, he had seldom heard equaled
in the House, to one or two points in it. In
regard to the suggestionwhich he (51.r.Hale;
had made that this was in the nature of an
expostfacto law, he submitted that it was
not an answer to - say simply that that sec
tion bad nothing to do with the case. It
was proposed as a penalty for treason and
rebellion that these men should by legisla
tion of Congress at this day be deprived ol
certain rights. That was, by all legal deti
finition, an ex post facto law, and nothine
else. He submitted that the act of MI in
reference to deserters, and each of the other
statues passed by Congress, was prospec
tive in its operation, and not retrospectiv,
or retroactive. The law in reference to de
serters who had deserted was to take effec:
if they did not return to their regiments by
a day fixed, making the prospective crime
of desertion the crime to be punished, nut
the past offence. He held the crime of
treason in as great detestation and horror::,
it was possible for the gentleman to do; bu ,
he dreaded one thing more than artnei re
bellion, more than treason, and that was to
see the true, honest, loyal, strong men el
We nation, like the gentleman from Ohio,
in their zeal to let their condemnation of
the crime of treason, override, or seek to
override, the plain and palpable provision:,
of the Constitution. Ho regretted that he
was not prepared, to point out where the
gentleman's argument departed from the
true constitutional ground, but he would
promise himself the pleasure of inakine
that effort at as early a day as he conic'
obtain the floor,
