Minority Report on the South

nying Justice to the Oppremx
n- ed.
st 31r. Edrid~dge, from the mtinority of
sI the Judiciary Committee of the House.
t submitted a winority report on the
condition of affairs in South Carolina.
. The report dissents entirely from thej
coue!usions of the majority, and is
it generally concurred in by the entire
minority of the Judiciary Committee.
es' The winAirity say:
It is impossible to turn a deaf ear
to the supplicating wail of 300,000
oppressed and despoiled citizens oft
that once prosperous and happy State.
e prnyi- only that inquiry be made in
to ther alleged wrongs. We canuot
ind *in tht reproaches of the conduct
- of the ineinorialists in the pIst any
- reason orjustification for refusing the
t hearing they now request. Their
idelity to the constitution and laws is
cox now unqluesioned, and this plea iS
D ade in respectful terms.
- The report thtn recites briefly and
pointedly the list of grievances com
'UP plained of. and predicates frot thtti
au that th chars-es of the ienorialists
1 are tre. The minority say :
V We aire aware of the doubts and
O difficulty in pointing out the precise
he clause of the constitution atuth-orizing
ug intervention. but that protection in
s all things is essential to good govern
iat meZt no one denies. It should never
ve be lost sight of; that for the cou
au dition of things now existing in South
n Carolina the federal government A
d primarily responsible. Blink it look
ter upon it as we may, horrible as the
work of its hand may now appear,
HF Congress set up and established the
State of things that makes the coui
mionwealth of South Carolina the
001 foul stinma it now is in our system.
A We do not argue the right to inter
U fere on that ground at this time, but
Wco .
OW we submit that we subject our govern
o mental theorems to the contempt of
the world and all intelligent men, in
that we are all powerful to inaugurate
and establish the paudemouium now
usexisting there. and the very momentl
f it is done are utterly powerless to in.
terfere with it at all, or to save the
pr"perty of the people from the spoils
man. Nor can we forbear the sug
ts,!
;ts gestion that. if this appeal were on be
talf o 300,000 negroes, instead of
300,000 white Southerners of our iwn
race and 'blood,such are the sympathies
of the majority, as heretofore exhibited,
that they would find by right or by
- wrong some means of relief; the peti
i tioners would not have been so coldly
and flippantly turued away. It is a
UU watter of the greatest delicacy for the
U federal government to interfere to pro
tect part of the people of the State
from the oppressious aud misrule of
Ithe other. It is conceded that it
ne ought not to be done for trivial causes;
of butit iis ct a light or trivial case
it that 300O,00)0 people, all the property
of holders of the great State, are being
stripped and _despoiled by usurpation
la- and fraud; that there ought to be power
oand authority adequate in such emer.
it, Igency to save, all lovers of honesty and
, good government will admit, and it is
p-afundamental defect in our system if
tcthre be not, in view of the thoughtful
'e wisdom of the authors of our eoustitu
u- tion. Are we prepared to render such
-judgment, that our constitution of
ogovernment is so irreparably defective ?
ed jThe complaint of the memornahits is
ad that the rulers of the people have
he *surped the power to tax property
r-owners. not for legislative purposes,
nOt to support the government of the
rd State, but for the purpose of impover
he fishing the taxpayers and ennicngn
at themselves; for the purpose of taxinga
e the white people down to the level of
to the negro. Under the pretence of the
mtaxing power they are endeavoring to
e- isribteproperty ofowners amngI
rthese who have anue. Is this not a
iusurpation by the :ilers of the State,
- gainst which constitutional guarantee
as the itnded to protect ? It is not
astemare abuse of the taxing power,
e- but the utter perversion of that power
in from all legitimate objects of taxation.
ra- Can there be a republican form of
an overnmienit where this is done, the
d main object of the governmient being
d the protection of the property of the
on itizen and the citizen in the enjoy
weuent of his property ?"
ee The report quotes from HIami.lton,
Calhoun and other authorities as to
econstitut?ional gran*-tee, adconcludes
at as follows :
eeIn view of the whole case, we can
tnot hesitate to recommend the appoiut
mnent of a committee of both houses
of Congress, with power and authority
ay to uo into the State of South Carolina
eand fully inquire and investiuate into
charges and complaint of the memo
ralists. To do less we feel we should
vilt r neglect a mo4.st solemn and
t perative duty. Tfhe cry of that out
r dadhelpkess anmd suffring pieople
reh:s reached our hearts as weil as our
lunderstandinig. Tha~t once pre-spering

SHIRKING THE RESPONsIBLITy OF
RELIEVING OUR GRIEVANCES.
What tIte JAdi(.ary Commiftee i f tiwi
House (W Representatices s(y o
the Pruyer of te South Carolina
Taexpaiyers.
A-s briefly noted by telegraph, Mr.
Tremaine, of the sub.Commaitree of the
louse judiciary ciinjittee. jresented
on Tuesday to the full committee a re
port on the memiorial of the Taxpayers
Convention of South Carolina asking
for relief against alleged misgo%era
meuit inl that S tate. The repwrt was
adopted by a majority of that c41omm1t!it
tee.
T[he cummittee say they (::Iltt re
sist. the elvietiwn that tihe extlr:!rd;.
nary condition of the peIpile of South
Cerolina is owing ill a treat deree to
the extrao:inl:a1ry eveuts that have oc
curred.and the great cha ges that have
been producdA WiEljihi tihe l.t feW
ye:rs. for whii her pre,k,nt eitizons1
or the majority theretit are iot proper
ly responsible, and which are beyond
tilie reach atl cntro! of (ontress.
The c:nnmittve refer'in this connec
tion to the late civil war, and to the
organio changes in the Co:.stitltiton of
the l'ultel Slttes. nit for t he purpose
of reopening the woun1.ds ea:.ed by
that war, but because it is the duty of
statesmen who are invoked to aply a
remedy to existitg alleged wrongs to
ascertain the na.1tulc, extent and origin
of these WrongS.
The re;ultof the war was the d<-strue
tion of slavery. and the loss to the
slaveholiders of that State of two hun
dred and fifty millions of pr,perty in
vested in slaves. Then came the
thirteenth. fvurteeath and fifteenth
auendments to the conistitution,where
by the emancipated slaves becaic
clothed with all the attributes of citi
zenship, or invested with the right of
suffrate. The freediven now ennsti
tute a majority of the people there. :nd
political power has been traisferred
from their former masters t those who
while in a state of slavery. were denied
all participation in tle rights and priv
ileges of American eitizenship. What
ever evils may arise frowa placing polit.
ical power in the hands of the freed
men, the responsibility therefur rests
not with them, but with tie pIlelT Of
the United States. tho'y 4aving adopted
the amendments, and i-hev alone hav
ing the power to change the constitu
tion.
In the judgmuent of the committee,
the real grievauces of the tmemoriali,ts
and those they represent relate to these
chawges in the constitution. The c-l
ored voters of South Carolina are about
0,00o, and the white voters about 40.
000. Couuress has no constitutional
power to grant the relief wh ich is asked
by the petitioners, in the opinion of
the committee. Although this ohjee
tion was presented and fully discussed.
the preposition was not controverted
that Congress could not intervenue ill
this case unless the power to act was
conferred by s'o:ne express grant in the
constitution, or was necessary to carry
into execution some power that was
conferred.
The comnuittee say they are not able
to discover the force of the claim made
by the petitioners that they are suffe r
ig frotn the anti-R~epublican and:I
odious oppression of a system of taxa
tion without representation, and that
Congress h:'s no more right to interfere
to disturb the Stat6 governmwent of
South Carolina, or to invade the rigzhts
f people, than to interfere with the
States of New York, Peuusyvaniia o
Illinois.
The comuiittee further answer the
argumeCnts of the ieinoriaists. and
say they are fully sensible of the dleli
eaev and the impart ance of the ma:t ters
presented for their consideration.
They wo.uld not withhvld any coi4i
tutional aid which cani be exteudc to.
the lives. liberties, and property of a ny
citizens. but they are unwillin.: to
usurp unauthorized authoirity to accoul
plish such results.
