YVA1AEK 1 KKLrV-pM a gener thing, were siunmonea hy T the ostensible authors of the inquiry to OF NORTH CAROLINA, In tbe House or RepresentatUes, SATURDAY, APRIL 19, 1879. The House beine in commltte of th whole on the state of t he Union, and having under consider auuii kins uui vn. h. mo. zi maicutg appropriaaoni 1 for the legislative, executive, and judicial expenses of the government for the fiscal year ending June u, ioou, cuia i.or uiuer purposes Mr. Steele said: Mr. Chairman: I shall not com mence my remarks on this occasion by quoting from a hymn : "From many an ancient river, r rom many a sunny plain, They are marching to dtektver -The IkikB In ei errors chain' ' i Great laughter and applause. Having said precisely what I do not in tend to do, I ask the committee to lis ten to what I do intend to do. Laugh ter.l .- ,.v,.; w ,j, Mr. Chairman, during the progress df the discussion on the army appropria tion bill, the gentleman from Maine, (Mr. Fryel Pdislike to. call anybody's name in this House, beeause it is net precisely parliamentary addressed the House in an impassioned speech, in which, among ftther things, he alleged that there were no free elections in, the South; because the White people w$io were in the main Democrats, by, vio lence and intimidation, controlled the blacks into subjection to their will. This charge constituted the gravemen of the gentleman's speech. During it he took occasion to indulge in some spiteful and uncharitable animadver sions upon the conduct of his own race, in the South, which, to my mind, were not entirely 'becoming in orje'oft his! ability and position. Appeals were made by him rto feelings ,rigenderedi during the late unfortunate civil war,1 which it was supposed ended neai fifteen' years ago. and whose ' bitl memories it is not the part of wisdom, statesmanship, nobility of soul, or even courage, to revive ajsd excite. The lan guage of the gentleman was so sweep ing and comprehensive that I felt it to be a duty which I owe to 'the State, one of whose Representatives I have the honor to be, to" ask if he meant to charge that the alleged offenses which he was denouncing (the violation of the freedom of tbe ballot) were com mitted in the State of North Carolina. I wanted a "bill of particulars" because I thought common fairness required it. instead ot answering the question in that manly way which his braVe Words would have led one to expect, he re sorted to what J conceived to be an evasion, and responded, inferentially at least, that these .outrages were less common in the State of North Carolina, because of the number of white repub licans who lived in, it. . Inasmuch as this answer clearly involved the charge that fear, and not a desire to observe the law, nor a regard for the duties and obligations of a good citizenship, con trolled our people, I pressed the gentle man for a specific reply, .when, as he ought to have done, hefwltbttrew the imputation. As this was practically all the vindication which I desired, I chose not to pursue the subject further, but to allow others whose constituents had been assailed to come to the de fense of their own people. Mr. rye. Will the gentleman allow me a minute ? Mr. Steele. Oh, yes ; certainly I will. Mr. Frye. I was profoundly ignorant when the gentleman asked me the question he did in relation to the his tory of North Carolina in connection with these matters under discussion. I have since, that time been investigat ing the histdry of that State, and I now feel entirely able to say to him, and entirely able to satisfy the country, if I could get fifteen or twenty minutes at any time in which to do it, that North Carolina Ought not to, be exempted at all ; that murders and Outrages were as frequent there is in many other States; that "moonshiners" abound there in great plenty ; and that it takes the army to enforce even the revenue laws ; and bv and bv.4f I get a few minutes, I will devote such portion of the time as fentlemen feel inclined to listen, to forth Carolina. Mr. Steele. "Angels and ministers of grace defend us !" Laughter. Mr. Chairman, 'the. gentleman from Maine need not4 id have made an acknowledgment upon the floor of this House of his ignorance in certain par ticulars; for chanty would suppose that was the cause, rather than some thing else, of his remarks. That is all I have got to say upon that point. Not long after this a member of the Hotwe,xradl3haHiiot-peeify-4h-tate for reasons , which are satisfactory to myself, who hlade his appearance upon the floor for the first time, About a month ago, beings as I ; suppose; "gorged with statesmanship," laughter, as another member was once character ized by one of his colleagues, proceeded, doubtless to his own great gratification, to disgorge himself of something wwen was very much removed from states manship, but closely allied to that which is far less elevated and noble. If it is true that "out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh" I believe that is Scripture: if it is not, my reverend friend from lowa wnrtr recti xyk v ' r Mr. Price made a' remark which was biot heard. Mr. Steele. 1 presume tne gentle man's remark was pretty good, but I did not hear it That member s heart nvprflnw n? with the gaii oi numan unkindness. and he shows a chivalry in words, in a time of peace, which I sus pect far surpassed his- heroic deeds when armed men were engaged in deadlv strife, s Ha vauntingly calls, my to J certain yoiriu . u the Library of Congress, whose recora, ne talk n ia like the historv of hell and UW WVV w - , Wliw 3 ft T the proceodings of the damned. f ; lx' fessfMr. Chairman,-thfc I do notKnow anything of, the similitude, having no knowledge, nor a desire tt have any, of the -historT 1 and . ; ocedingsV to which the member sty familiarly refers, Laughter. - I shall not say, Mr.' Chair man, that this member came from the State of Iowa. I take it for granted, however, that he has been a close student and an attentive observer of i a region of which he professes such ex traordinary knowledge, And I' do not see how he acquired - snch-annftimate acquaintance f except by a personal visit, which enabled him ta become a medium for the disclosure oi -uw un numbered horrors which hang around tbe second f death.? -ThatjU ytrpm a bymfi, too.'1 Laughter. Having had the advantage of a personal visit to the tniniiiiiili silver, which reigns the monarch of all s evfl, I trust he will not soon again to sulphurous and torment ing flames yender up himself ," but re main awhile on this earth for the pur pose of warning sinners against the awful realities of " the place of the damned, Laughter -.f - I was not ignorant, Mr. Chairmah, of ; the existence of the volumes to wnien . my avwiiuuu: V"1?"? nor was l Onureiy unauviseu- ui thee character investigation and purposes .oi - me which called- 'them t-fa ' into t mWrm M alittte of the credibility of ,thwtnessea :,wftv, speak in regard to the subject-matter of the investigate. HMqsf ofltrwaj gone into by the nigh court 01 lmpeaeiment of JNorth Carolina in the trial of uov. Holden "for higb, rimes and misde meanorsj in , otfice," : a trial-where the people and the Tespondenf we're: both' represented- by eminent oouneL. and wnichwas conducted with the utmost fairness. The tespoiid'etit waS,nvict-'iwas hitett' ed,' andmong thet-otbei which he was tried, and judgment was ' rendered asralnstiinK was that he had uspevoded, tJUe . writ of, I (HWCUA fJVlJJWS, ntutu bllC UUUSUbUUUU declared IshOuld" never be- 'SHspendetl. All that tbe testimony did disclose was that thelfed toeen utrmgesinoiv ihe persons of Ittzehs 'of to Blatef fbut there was no evidence that any one had been deprived" ot his .constitutional right to vote as he pleased. That is the question, and;i no other, ,wucli the amendments under consideration make it proper to discuss. But since the mem ber has so needlessly thrust the matter before the House, with a view only to inflame hsipasskaMte-ef-thej- people j?( ni&rseqjyOi country against mose who he knows are'iabie1-toi'aefeWd themselvesviexcept t witkbated bxeath," I beer leave to submit a few observa tions, intended' only ' tdvaVindieatot the truth Oi history." Under the -constitution of the United States, as it existed ."prior to the adop tion of certakyUeMniatits. ihe States had the mdismitable " nower to remi- late the internal governments and PQb.ee J inereoi ana to aamit to tne privilege! of the ballot such of their people as they might regard the proper custodi ans of this highest prerogative of citi zenship. It - belonged 1 exclusively to them to fix the qualifications of electors, But party necessities made it desirable that this right should oe overthrown ; and to effect it the 4 constitution was ruthlessly trampled under foot by those who had solemnly sworn to support it. This was the greatest outrage upon the freedom of the ballot ; Which was ever committed in this country, and they who did it, and they who apologize for it, ought in very shame to " put their hands on their mouths and their mouths in the d ust." It : does Ht become them to fepeakpf.the glories' Of a free ballot. All their laudations are the mostrfrans Sarent of mockeries, h However, th; eed was done ; the ' amendments are a part of the constitution not by the free will of the people of the South, who were lawfully entitled to determine it, but by their acquiescence and submis sion. That acquiescence and submission give them all the vitality which they possess. -Notwithstanding the "ques tionable shape " in which they were in serted, they are now, by the means which I have; indicated,' as much parts of it as if adopted according to the methods prescribed. We of the South regard them as entitled to our respect and obedience, and yield to them a par triotic submission, because " interest fi? publicce, ut sit Jinis litium." We trust that their provisions, ,as well as all oth ers of the constitution, will be carried out in their letter and. spirit. Mr. Humphrey. Will the gentleman allow me one question ? Mr. Steele. Y"es ; but I do not prom ise that J, will.answer it, Mr. Humphrey. You can do as you please about that. I ask the gentleman this question : He says that the amend ments to the constitution are entitled to their force and effect from, the acqui escence and submission on the part of theiSouthern people? -yr; . i Mr. Steele. Oh, no; I do not say that. Mr. Humphrey. Excuse me ; 1 so un derstood it. Mr. Steele. My friend is too good a lawyer not to understand what I mean. Mr. Humphrey. I wanted to ask the crentleman if that is what he said? Mr. Steele. You know what I meant, and vou know, and every, lawyer who knows anvthine about constitutional law knows, that some things having their origin in wrong, fraud, and force, yet by the submission of the people to them, have become the law qr the land. Mri Humohrev. x es r out oniy wnen thev have their origin in the eternal fitness of thinsrs. Mr. Steele. Oh, yes; John Bunyan, or somebody else. Laughter ,.H. , Mr. Humphrey. May I ask the getn tleman another question V Mr. Steele. Not now. I Under the new order of things pro duced bv these chancres of the constitu tion, the patience of the people of the Southern States was tried to the very vercre of forbearance. A swarm of nun erv political vultures, with all the hate ful characteristics of that Wee blastlt wonner Detestlt, shunned by saunt and sinner, Whose appearance on the,," Misses fine Liraardi;'' at the ! chiich,gave Burns thomortunitv of writing Some of bis finest fines; came fofckfhg t& the' South, to gorge their ravenous carcasses upon what little the ravaces of war had left. Professincr an ardent love for the new- lv-made citizen, these creatures soon wormed their wav into his confidence, and thus possessed themselves of the lucrative offices of the States in which thev reallv never intended to remain, except so long as the hope of plunder offered a temptation: These are the be- incrs who bear the enticing and sugges tive nameof carpet-bagger" Not withstanding the assertion often aaade to the contrarv bv those who either did not know the facts, or wilfully pervert ed them, the term was never applied by our people to any honest citizen of the North who removed to tne ooum uu make himself .ayartirirf the people, ready to bear their burdens and parti cipate in their joys. These are always welcomed. Under the baleful influence of the adventurers whom I have nan ed, every department of the govern ment f thebtate& whicb theyinfested became corrupt. The legislative was large composed of the ignorant and depraved the executive was often filled by aliens with no feelings in common with the people, and the ju dicial disgraced by men who either knew nothing of the law which they weref callediapoin tojuiministeryor were sn malignant and venal, that justice was frequently either sold, denied or delayed . In my own State there were some honorable exceptions, and these I do not intend to include in my statement. Of our judges, I shall speak of but two one a native, as much opposed to grant ing suffrage to" the tiegro as any one, until he found that he could profit hv it and tret a position for which everybody knew neither his learning nof his' character fltted-'MmTand the herVwpereiMt-wwflafy ability, but.bejloved .by nine-tentns oi our inteIHgemT people-fobe totally des titute of principle, and moved -only by the instigations of tbijevilianr hfs own" evil passions."
