Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Report on the Alleged Outrages in the Southern States: March 10, 1871 Mr. Scott, from the Select Committee of the Senate to Investigate Alleged Outrages in the Southern States, submitted the following Report: On the 19th of January, 1871, the Senate passed the following resolution: Resolved, That a select committee of fire Senators be appointed, to which shall be referred the documents and papers recently laid before the Senate by the President in reference to the condition of the Southern States, and that such committee have power to employ a clerk and stenographer, to send for persons and papers, administer oaths, and investigate the matters referred to in the documents and papers aforesaid, and the truth or falsehood of the crimes and outrages of a political character alleged to have been committed in the Southern States, and whether there be in those States security for persons and property. By subsequent resolutions the committee was authorized to sit during the session of the Senate and to report from time to time; two members were added, and it was continued during the first session of the Forty-second Congress. Prior to the passage of the first resolution, two messages had been sent by the President to the Senate, in compliance with the resolution of the 10th of December, 1870, as follows: Resolved, That the President be requested to communicate to the Senate all information that he may possess relative to organized bodies of disloyal and evil-disposed persons in the State of North Carolina, which have in view or threaten resistance to the execution of the laws of the United States, or denial to the citizens of the United states of the actual protection of the laws and the free enjoyment of the rights and liberties secured to them by the Constitution; and also what murders and outrages for political purpose have been committed by such organizations of disloyal persons. The first message, of January 13, 1871,(Senate Executive Document No. 16, 3d session 41st Congress,) consists of abstracts from the reports of military officers, of the communications of governors of States, of others in official positions, and of petitions and letters of private citizens, all tending to show that in many portions of the Southern States, from 1866 until this time, crimes ranging from assassination and murder, robbery and theft, down to the low est grades of personal violence, have been committed by bands of persons in disguise and instigated by political motives, who have escaped all punishment by the civil authorities. The second message, of January 17, 1871,(Senate Executive Document No.16, Part 2,) communicated copies of reports received at the War Department "relative to disloyal organizations in the State of North Carolina intended to resist the laws, or to deprive the citizens of the United States of the protection of law or the enjoyment of their rights under the Constitution of the United States."
