Mr. Sboffner moved a suspension of the
rules in order to put tiie bill on its second
.. reading,
Mr. Graham raised the point, that as the
16th section of the Constitution, legisla
tive iiopartment, provides that no bill
waking appropriation can pass hut one
reading on the same day in either house,
the motion to pot the bill on its second
reading was out of order, as it had already
Deen read once, and it contained a provi
sion to raise a tax.
The Chair decided the point not well
taken.
Mr. G. appealed from the decision of
the Chair, and the Chair was sustained,
The motion to suspend the roles pre
vailed, and the bill was read a necond
time.
Mr. Bobbins obtained the floor, and
said:
This is a bilL Mr. President, of suoh an
extraordinary character, that it is difficult
-to discuss it with calmness. An ardent
admirer of the safe-guards with which
Anglo Saxon wisdom has fenced in the in
dividual liberty of the citizen against the
encroachments of tyrannical power, I feel
my eonl profoundly moved by this propo
sition to place the rights of every citizen
of this State at the mercy of one man.
It is an neoessary for me to say that I am
not a sympathizer with those who violate
law. My voice and influence shall ever be
given in favor of upholding the law rob
bers, murderers, barn-burners, ravisbers,
I denounce them all as outlaws, deserving
arreet and punishment.
effect of his bill could be to accomplish
this desperate end in a wise and judicious
manner, I should not oppose, but support
it most heartily.
But this bill will do nothing of that
kind. Senators declare that outrages are
committed; but when I demand who are
the guilty outlaws, no answer is given. All
the crimes are recently perpetrated, and
the criminals are unknown. Then, Mr.
President, to arrest and pnnieh these offen
ders, it is Argus, and not Iiriareus, that
we need eyes, not arms, are required.
No Senator will say that anywhere in this
State there is any open or forcible resis
tance to the civil authority. There is no
insurrection or rebellion making head and
defying the law. There is no criminal in
any county whom the Sheriff and his posse
cannot arrest Why then propose to send
out a military force against invisible aad
unknown enemies ? Find out the crimi
nalsmark them, ' designate them and
then it will be easy to arrest and bring
them before the regnlar tribunals, with a
power already at command.!, s Then .see
that yonr Judges administer the laws im
partially, and then peace will everywhere
smile on our land.
This bill clothes your Governor with the
authority, at his sole option, to deolare
any county in a State of siege and nnder
martial law. - It gives him the whole mili
tary of tbe State to enforce suoh ediot.
It places the entire Treasury at hid com
mand to pay his soldiers. What more than
this does it take to create a military dicta
torship? If these things can be done,
why do we deceive ourselves by calling
onrs a free government? What power has
the Kaiser or the Czar which you do not
give your Governor by this bill I You say
the power will not be abused or used with
out necessity ? Who knows that? And
were it even certain, does it acoord with
the spirit of American institutions to en
trust our liberties to any one man the
best man living ?
Whither has fled the old time jealousy
of tyrants and pride of independence that
used to animate American breasts ! Do I
stand among freemen I Nay, I stand in a
subservient parliament that seems ready
to do the bidding of a despot. I warn
you, Senators, that the way you are tread-
mark who are responsible for it I know
you are determined to pass it and your
ears are deaf to all appeals. You hove
concocted it in oauous, you have counted
noses, you bring it in and rush it through
nastily, recklessly, blindly. It will in
orenae excitement instead of repressing
disorder. It will cause blood to now in
rivers where it flowed before iu drops. I
deplore this while I predict it. And if
this bill passes and be euforeed, if some of
its fell oonsequenoes do not light upon the
heads Of its authors, and upon the part?
that is urging it, then I am greatly mis
taken. lint why say more ? ' The voioe raised
for liberty ana for the people in these
days is drowned by the roll of drums. I
have done what I could. I have spoken for
law, for ' liberty and for peace. A noble
constituency have placed me here to battle
for their rights. I have dona my duty ;
but I am overwhelmed by numbers. Now
to the people I commend the vindication
of their own cause and the guardianship of
their own rights for wliioh I have vainly
struggled in the Senate Chamber. ? I g
' By this bill you make up the issue of ty
ranny against law and liberty. Let the
people, whoso servants we are, decide it
and judge us.
Mr, Boall said that the Senate on yes
terday passed a resolution instructing the
Committee on Military Affairs to take this
whole subject into consideration, and to
report a bill to meet the case. Me thought
that the proper course to pursue and moved
a reference of this bill to the same Com
mittee. The chair ruled the motion out of order,
as the rules had been suspended to put tbe
Din on its second reading. .
Mr. Graham said he did not intend to
consume much of the time of tbe Senate,
for he presumed from appearances that the
minds of Honators were already made up
as to how they intended to vote ; but he
desired to allude to some rumors that were
afloat in reference to his county. Any
statement tbat the law could not be en
forced there by the oivil authorities, was
simply untrue. Ho had heard of some lo-
Credations that were committed. The
nrning of three barns in one night, and
of two coses of rape on two white women
by negroes, which happened some time
since ; but this Legislature is responsible
to a great extent for this state of affairs, in
repealing tbe law to punish laroeny with
death. In the section of the county in
which I reside there was never a better
feeling between the two races than at the
present time. Ho thought it unwise to
pass snch a bill ; it would simply excite
the minds of the people and cause those
who condemned such things to sympathise
witu the criminal.
This bill also authorizes steps to be taken
for the suspension of tbe Habeas Corpus.
Sacred privilege, bought by tbe blood of a
noble ancestry, and will you strike it down
because now and then some fiendish viola
tor of female virtue meets his jest doom at
the hands of woman's avengers ?
Yoa also propose to authorize any solici
tor at his pleasure to remove tbe trial of
any prisoner from his own eonnty to any
other eonnty in tba State, however distant
A jury of bis peers, taken from his vicin
age, is not to be allowed. And thus yon
strike down another sacred guarantee of
Anglo Saxon law, old aa the days of Al
fred. Select yonrooonty, pack your jury,
seat your Jeffries on the bench, and then
we aball gloriously repeat the Mb1oody
assizes" which desolated the South of Eng
land after Sedgemoor; while here at the
Capital nta yoar - James the second and

Pass your bill, but - la Jiorta Carolina
Mr. Jones, of Mecklenburg, Baid :
Mb. Pbesident : I have bed the plea
sure of supporting many of the measures
proposed by the Senator from Alamance
since L bave occupied a seat on this floor,
and, Sir, from the charaoter of the measures
be has initiated, end those ho has auvo
cated, I feel assured, Sir, that he would
not willfully or recklessly jeopardize the
peace of tbe State. And yet Sir, in my
judgment, the inevitable consequence of
tue passage of such au act as tbe one pro
proposed would be to retrace many a
painful step which, during the last four
years, we have taken towards that goal of
our great hope, a condition of permanent
and perfect peace, a condition in wnion
we may look, nay gaze, once more npon
our landscapes and see no blazing camp
nres there, when we may listen and near
no more tbe roll of tbe sullen drums npon
the evening breeze. When war shall be
but a dreadful memory in this unhappy
land and peace a blessed reality. I come
to the consideration of this subject, Mr.
President, with no partisan feelings. I
know. Sir. its importance, and I approach
If the object and I it with that feeling of solemnity which
must ever attend tbe abandonment of the
peaceful agents of the civil law and of the
conjuring up the untamed spirit of military
power, and I appeal to senators oi tne
dominant party, if they are not predeter
mined npon the passage of this bill beyond
the hope of recall, to accept my words in
the spirit in which they are spoken, to
break loose from the shackles of party
cauoosses, and to vote npon this bill with
an eye right to the interest of the State.
Of all the subjects, Mr. President, upon
which we could be called to legislate, this
is, perhaps, tbe most delicate, for inde
pendent of the gross violence done by this
bill, both to the.letter and the spirit of onr
constitutional law; independent of the
dangers to which it exposes the liberty
of the citizens, by withdrawing from him
that protection which the civil law throws
around him, its consequent effects npon
tbe prosperity of the State must be, to the
last degree, disastrous. Sir, I have ever
contended and I still contend, that the
obief cause of the slowness with which our
State has recuperated since tbe close of
the war, and the main reason why capital
and emigration have not flowed thither, is
the opinion whioh prevails abroad, that our
pretended peace here is more specious than
real, that society and government here
stand upon a thin ornst of trembling lava,
beneath whioh is ever swelling a seething
sea of anaroby and revolution. Is not this
true, Sir 1 How else shall we account for
the fact tbat millions of foreigners, who an
nually land upon our shores, turn a deaf
ear t3 our solicitations, and prefer to buy
lands away in the far West rather than
take that you offer them at a mere song
here, in close proximity to the great ports
of tthe Atlantic, through which all their
surplus products go ? How else shall we
explain that strangest of all the anomalies
in the commercial world, that while
the price of all other commodities
here ia regulated by the prices oar
rent in those great centres of oommeroe,
the cities of the North, that of money has
ranged unoontielled by any influence
save the demand In this restricted mar
ket? Your cotton is daily bought and sold
in this city, and its price varies as the
clerk of the telegraph hourly marks the
fluctuations in New York; your tobacoo
brings just what it is worth considered as
an article of commeroe, so of your grain,
so iu short of everything except money.
We find that tbe capitalists of New York
even in those frequently recurring periods
of momentary pressure rarely realise more
than seven per cent premium npon their
loans, while here in the city oX JUaleigh or
Charlotte, if yon go into the market even
npon mortgage of the best city property
yoa pav from one and a half to two per
oent per month. Why, I repeat Mr. Pres?
ident is this so? It is because capital is
proverbially cowardly aad flees instinct-'
ively from a land where the winds are
shaken even by a whisper of war. It is
beoanse newspapers here in North Caroli
na for party purposes, have harped npon
the pretended disorder in our midst, have
rennuatiid a. Kir. in a condition border
ing npo actual war, ttntil the people of
the North, ever too readr to credit evil
reDorts of niL aeeeit these elever fictions
as absolute troths and propagate them
witn still further embClisnmenta among
themselves. And now you propose by this
bill to add a legislative endorsement to the
truth of all theso wild reports nud tn
plunge us again into those very dilllotilties
Irom whioh 1 had most devoutly hoped we
wore about to emerge. rir, lot us look at
this bill; it provides that tue Govutuor
may upon his own motion striku down tu
oivil government in any; cmiut.v In thi
Slate and declare that cotiuty under mar
tial law, that no may call out the militia to
entoroe this martial luw, nod that he shall,
whenever he thinks proper, request the
President of tbe United States to suspend
the writ of habeas corpus there. Now,
Sir, does not this sound like a preparation
fortar? Who that rtads these proceed
iuch abroad lint must ooncludo that we
are in tbe very throes of civil War? ? Who
mat reaus mem wouiu tnius ior a moment
of entrusting either his life or his money
to the proteotion of suoh a government iu
suoh a state of soaiety? Mr. President we
will call in vain to the laborer and uuto
the capitalist nntil we have pence here,
until the last vestigo of military goveru
nieut has departed the land. We must
not only have this peace Sir, but we must
convince the world oy ; suostantini proofs
thAt it exists for the bare apprehension of
dintutbancu is quite as potent for this evil
purpose as the actual existence of war.
That deeds have been done by lawless men
which cannot be justilled, no ouecau deny
and no one deprecates them more lhau
myself: they are oouliued to a few couu
ties and are but one of the phases of the
civil war through which we bave lutely
paesod; they are but the flickering of a
ilame that baa alt but gone out; they are
out tne ripple oi the surf where thu wave
has spent its fury; time and a proper ad
ministration of the civil law alone can
heal tbe malady which you but aggravate
by your ill-timed aud ill considorod meas
nres.
hat, Mr. President, granting that all is
true that is alleged by Senators hero of
the condition of things in theso, oouuties,
I see nothing that calls for military inter
ference. When they are askod to point Out
a single instance whore the oivil authority
has been defied, a single instttnoe where
the oourse of justice has beeu obstructed
by armed violence, and they confess that
no instanoe has oome to their knowledge,
but they will tell you tbat murders have
been committed aud that the murderers
are still at large ; but, sir, they are at
large because tbey bave not been deteoted,
hot bocause the oivil law is powerloes to
apprehend them ; according to thoir own
statements it is the Grand Jury which
needs the re-enforcemeuts, not the officers
of the peace : and, sir, in my opinion,
battalion of militia would make put poor
deteotives.
Mr. President, I have not discussed this
bill in any of its constitutional aspeots, for.
sir, there are other objections to it more
apparent and quite as satisfactory to me,
and upon these objections I have chosen to
base my remarks ; neither sir, nave l dwelt
upon the dangerous power which the bill
confers upon the Chief Executive of the
State, a power to deolare martial law up
on his own motion in time of peaoe ; to
ereot military tribunals for the trial of ci
vil offenders, and to surround these engines
of oppression with legions of lawless and
partizan militia. It is war, sir, in its most
painful aapoata, ana my noart bieeas in
anticipation of the fate of the wretched
victims in the hands of such a power, and
cut off from the protection of civil law by
tbe suspension of the wnt of Habeas cor
pus, in tbe name oi uod, jur. rresiaent,
are we never to nave an end oi war in tnis
unhappy land ? never to see the lost of
these accursed military tribunals here ?
has onr lengthened experience so enraptur
ed us with these things that we must be for
ever and ever recurring to them ? Sir, for
one. I have seen enough of it in all its
phases, God knows, and there is nothing
that I would not saori lo e to save our
wretched State from even a brief period
of actual war; and yet, air, in my opinion,
11 - t t MlT , lk.i...J
kUla curouiu wuuiuuu ui uircuLoucu wax,
this lingering apprehension of strife, is
even more baneful than would be a brief
period of actual war, resulting in per foot
peace. Tbe one, sir, is tne wild aeiinum
of the inebriate in his convulsions, tbe
other the groping of .the stricken victim of
a paralysis, as he sits with nerves unstrung,
his muscles relaxed, feeling that the light
is daily fading from his reason and the
strength from his frame, waiting iu utter
helplessness the coming of darkness and
death. Sir, this Senate has passed days in
deliberating npon trifling bills, affecting
the vested riehta of petty corporations,
and now, sir, they propose to rush through,
in one day, a bill fraught with such mo
mentous consequences to the State as
this. Sir, such haste is reckless, indecent
Senators of the dominant party may pass
it thus, but I tell them that the youngest
of them will not see the end of this strife,
this military power, if we onee embark in
it, aud I tell them, too, tbat the reeponsi
sility and the peril is on them, and npon
them I leave it . .
