How is itnowt In pursuance of the authority cou- Jerred upon him by the act of January 29, 1870, “to secure tho better protection Of life and property,” Gevernor Hviden, in Mareh, 1870, declared the COUNTY OF ALAMANCE IN 1 KECTION.

Numerous arrests were made of persons charged with belug wembers of the Ku Klux organizatien, Whe wero held prisoners in military cus- ody unl released upon writs of habeas corpus. It was when these arrests were made that a nuiuber ef persons confessed to have ‘been members of the order, and upon the hearing before Judge Pearson disclosures were made of tis Objects aud Obligations, as they have been disclosed | by witnesses before the committee. The policy or course pursued by Governor Holden in the exercise of power conferred upou Lim by the law referred to and the conduct and character of tue troops em- ployed and of tieir officers have been freely com mented upon by many witnesses, and while con- demned without exception by the conservatives, seem also to have created some division ef sentl- ment among lis political frends. Creelues upon persons are testified to as having been inflicted by eMcers, which, if true, cannot be too strongly reprobated. The oficers deny therm, and it i to be ebserved (hat the witnesses who prove the most aggravated cases admit that they are mempers of tie Kin Kiax organization. Whatever view may be tak or of the wisdoni of n of the power exercised reising it, the Governor seems to have considered it effective tor the time being and to have loped fer the continuance of Deace and order. These antictpadons do not seem to have been realized; for, since that time, in other portions of the State acts of violence have again been commitied, appears frem the extracts of the test mony. dn connection with this symptom of reviving ac- tyity we cannot overlook what has happened in the Legisiature of t © siace the message of the G nor was delivered, It will be borne in mind the perpetraiion of the numerous crimes in Alamunce aud Orange counties by armed and dis- uised bands was the reason given for declaring jose counules in insurrection; that many arrests re Made by Governor Holden's orders of persons suspected of beonging to the Ku Kiux, while some were arrested who were not shown to be members, One who acknowledges he was a member states (page 824) that the ae majority of these who were held with bim as prisovers acknowledged to each other that they did belong to the order, ‘The feeling tat would be aroused against the Governoy in fraternity bound together by such oaths and by the terror of the common per) a which they stood for the multitude crimes -they nave committed would naturally pe dntense. The effect of these outrages upon the col- red voters was to keep many of them from the election. This, coupled with the introduction of an issue arising vut of the prodigal and unjustifiable use, by the raliroad presidents, of the bonds tesued ‘On the credit of the State for public improvements, resulted in the defeat of the party friends of Geov- ernor Holden at the election and an adyerse ma- FAL Was returned to the Legislature, Frederick ir atives, whose name 18 unenviably connected in the Mestimony with an alleged arrangement, as a meuiber of this order, to ASSASSINATE SENATOR SHOFFNER, ia oc resoluuions of impeachment against e Governor, and he is now upon imal Lelore the Senaze upon eight articles, which charge him with dectariag ‘the counties of Alamauce and Caswell in insurrection, with the arrest of a number of persons who were taken into custody by Colonels Kirk and Bergen, under lis | order, nd with uolawfully paying from the puvlic tweasury the troops called out by nim to suppress Ue disorders im those counties. “The law authoriz- ing the Governor to declare counties 1m insurrection has been repealed, and one witness states that the act Making it a penal offence to go disguised has also been repealed, With what feelings and appre- hensious the class of persons who have heretofore tae victiius of the lawless outrages in Aiamance county look to the result of these pro- ceedings will be better understood by giving the words of a cltizen of the county than from ally in- ferences of the committee.

In support of these propositions, the minority quote very largely trom the testimony of John Kerr, ex-member of Congress from North Caro- Una A. Ramsey, &c., and a number of other wit nes: who were exawined and crosg-examined be- tore the committee, The minority say it will be seen from the above statement that there has been no resistance to the execution of process of the co NO OBSTRUCTIONS TO OFFICERS in the exercise of their functions, The report of the majority seeks to evade the force of this fact, thus admitting the fact by asserting that the Ku Klux or- franization is so banded together as to defeat the ends of justice by mtimidating witnesses, h heceing | oo and procuring witnesses to swear falsely in ‘favor of the accused, If he belongs to thatorder. The reply to this is easy and complete; the statute law of the State gives the solicitor and the judge the wer to remove causes from any locality in the tate to any other Jocality, at the option of the prosecution. Every judge and every solicitor in the State was @ radical; there Wore locaiities in the State in which the radicals predominated overwhelmingly, and if the crime ‘Was committed where the influence of the Ku Klux prevented a conviction, it was only necessary for the solicitor to make a motion and the judge would order the removal of the same from county to county, until a satisfactory venue was reached. It is periectiy evident from the evidence that the pro- cess of the courts Could be executed without military force, and that no resistance was offered te Its execution, It is also clear that the causes could have been removed from place to some county in which a fair trial might have been had. Why, then, did the Governor prefer to resort to the ex: treme measure of proclaiming the counties of Alamance and Caswell in insurrection rather than use the remedies ready to hand of removing the causes to the counties in which convictions might have been obtained? Why did he cail on the President for troops, set on foot his negro militta, led by rattians imported into the State on account of thew extraoraigary brutality, and preceed to seize, imprison, Insult and torture huis prisoners? There is but one explauatien. Mis object was to strike terror to the people and drive them from the polls, and thus carry the districtand maintain himself and his miscreants Mm power and thus be enabled tocontinue to plunder and tyrannize over theftuphappy people who had ‘been subjected to lis sway by the direct action of the Congress of the United States. This is the only explanation which can be given for conduct so utterly unuecessary. Who ever heard before of the proclamation of martial law 1u a country where the process of the civil courts could be executed with- out resistanc If he had caused the law to be executed in the ordinary way through the courts the clamor which had risen against him and his t | tion and the protecting arm the government | allies for pillaging the State ana giving away mil- | against these lawless marauders have been for- | lions of dollars to the desperate adventurers who | warded from the States of South Carolina, Georgia, | infesied the State like vermin would have con- | Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Virginia, cky, Texas and Tennessee. these could the committee examine, considering 1t ble, in one State rather than take partial and dis- jointed statements as to all, and leaving to the | Senate the determination of whether the py biic interests require this Investigation to be pursued ferther. Respectfully submitted, JOHN SCOTT, Z. CHANDLER. HENRY WILSON, BENJAMIN F. RICE, JAMES W. NYE. THE MINORITY REPORT. Senators Blair and Bayard, constituting a minor- ity of the committee, found themselves unable to | agroe with the majority and present their views at length. After citing the resolution under which the committee was appointed and referring to the report transmitted by the President in answer to | the Senate resolution of inqutry in relation to the | aliegea organization of disloyal persons in North | Carolina, the minority say:— ‘Thus it will appear that the resolution under which the special committee was appointed 1s founded on the report transmitted as afore- sald by the President. Instantly upon were Sppareutl all ready in waity | the city of his Lieutenant Colonel, to the printer, by waom it has not yet been returned. We desire to attract the attention of the Senate to the scope of the resolution under which the com- mittee have acted, “to inquire into the truth or falsehood of the crimes and _ outrages of @ political character in the Southern States." Here i3 an unlimited fieid of general allegation, quali- fied only by the word “political,” and conveying nothing definite to the communities whose domestic affairs were Withont notice or spectfied charges, to have a Congressional drag net thrown over them | aud be hauled before the committee; and the closing paragraph of the reselution only ‘aggravated the | dangers aud difficulties of such an inquisition by in- quiring whether there be in those States security for persons and property. | After saying that no State has passed any law in | violation of the tourteenth amendment, and that no | question had been made relative to the exercise of | power in the emergencies set forth in tbe fourth | section of article three of the constitution, the minority continne:—The undersigned are therefore | ata loss to discover where such power 1s derived as | 1s set forth in the resolution and acted upon by the | committee, and THEREFORE THEY PROTEST, in the name and under the limitations of the const!- | tution of the United States, against any and all | action of an inquisitorial character into the internal and demestic affairs of any of the States, or any at- tempt by Cengress or the Executive to interfere with the State governments of citizens Epa aly, as to matters not cognizable by the federal govern. meat under the constitution. in view of tne fact that North Carolina is, in all respects, under the constitution and laws, upon an equal footing ‘With ali the ether States of the Union, the minority assert that any claim of power to investigate the internal and domestic affairs of that State to invade her police powers of control over all matters within her jurisdiction must be equaily vaiid and have equal force when applied to any other State, and ‘the reserved rights under the tenth article of the | constitutions of Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Ohio New York Qo degree more secure than | those of North Carolina. The exercise or omission of any such rower Is, in the opinion of the minority, unwarranted by tha constitution and utterly subyersive of our féderal system of State governments, They say, further, there can no longer be urged | THE PLEA OF MILITARY NECESSITY. The flag of the nation foats in placid security in every part of the Union, and there is no pretence of opposition in any quarter to the peaceabie operation of the civil authority. After setting forth that the kind of investigation pursued has simply given an opportunity for any one to come forward and assail the State aud people of North Carolina by any char- acter of testimeny and in any munner that prejndice or animosity can suggest, the miuority | continue:—“But ail this is manifestly the | result of a plan ‘cut and dried,’ by a consptracy | formed of dlsappoinied politicians, who have lost | the confidence of their people and have been out of office by the almost unanimous voice of a b | trayed and injured constituency. At the head of | this conspiracy plainly stands William W, Holden, tue Governor of Norih Carolina, and new undergo- ing trial by process of Impeachment for high mis. e aemeanors and gross abuses of his oflicial | power. He — has beggured the treasury | of hi State and — plundered, outraged and betrayed her people, and now louks | to the strong arm of the federal government as the | only meaus of rescuing him and his feliowers from | the just punishment due their crimes. In furthe ance of Uus scheme the present measure was mstl- | tuted and this committee raised. The two Senators irom North Caro}ina, Messrs. Abbott and Pool. have eniciently aided it, Suggesting witnesses and’ sup- 1 interrogatories Tor their examination, aud | Sometimes escorting them in person to the dor of | Une committee room; and what is | THE CHARACTER OF THESE WITNESSES | ready and in attendance for examination ? Joseph W. Holden, the son and accomplice of Governor W, jolden, heads the list. He has been an otic , fattening on the corruptions of his father’s administration, the editor of his party organ, and even bis testimony is most entirely hearsay in its natureand inadmissibie in courts of justice. George y. Kirk and George W. Bergen came upon tie scene, and to the undersigned there seems to be a | strange {nsensibility to the opinions of mankind in | the production of two such atrocious cuaracters in the dle of witnesses in this case. Neither was a citizen of North Carolina, but they | Were called from abroad by Holden as fitting in- | Struments for his dark and bloody intent. In viola- | Hon cl the constitution of his State he made these | two strangers to his people eficers of militia, and | having declared two counties—Alamance and-Cas- Weill—ia a state of insurrection, he gave the’ un- | BAppy residents ever to the tender mercies ef these two ramans. The testimony discloses their abso- Inte dental having insultea or maltreated their | Prisoners in any way, aud their perjury in these | Statements is fully proven by the testi mony of ‘ucian i. Murray, Mr. Kerr, Mr. Turner and others who ‘were their pria- oners, The testimony quotea at length showing various kiuds of maltreatment and torture to extort contessions, &¢c.; and the minorit pro- ceed, in the Same manner, to review the testimony or William R. Albright, whou! they term a violent, unscrupulous man, and of James E, Bo;d, upon whose sole tesumony, they say, the majority largely Into none of | better to pursue our inquiry to completion, if possl- this appointinent the committee organized and pro- | ceeded without delay te examine witnesses, mao ng in Washington, to wit:—The son of Gover- nor Holden, Colonel George W. Kirk, and Bergen, No opportunity, save that afferded by its singie reading in the Senate, has been given the undersigned to ispect the report of the majerity or ovtain proper knowledge of its contents. ‘The report was read ence and instantly transmitted tinued and carried the election against him, He therefore meditated his coup @écat, his grand mth- tary stroke ef policy, Which was to strike terror to “the hearts of the people. He called the Prestdent to uis assistance, and to whom he already looked as his future Emperor, who did not fail him in his hour of need, but despatched the troops of the Untied States to sustain this worthless iisereant and conspirator in power, Having failed in his nefarious purpose, and apprehensive that he might be dealt with for his crimes, his first effort is to propitinte those whom he had wronged by coulessing what all knew to be true that peace, good order ant quiet are supreme to that State. The minority here quote his confeslun, saying that the coniession is confirmed by Judge Buttle, whose testimony is quoted. it will be ob- served that the testtmony contained in the reports of the United States oilicers sent into North Carolina by the President, upon application of Governor Holden, is unanimously in contradiction of the exist- ence of any organized bodies of disioyal and evil dis- posed persons in the State of North Carolina. which have in view or threaten resistance to the action of the laws of the United States, or the dental to the citizens of the United States of equal protec- tion of the laws, &c, The minority say the concur- rent testimony from the United States officers ought alone and of its own force to be suMcient to satisfy the Senate and the country how Little foun- dation there is for the charge of organized resistance to the governmeat or its laws the State of North Carolina and how the President of the United States could have con- sidered it as tending to disiovaity in North Carolina, ‘the undersigned are unable to conceive. An ex- amination of the depositions taken before the com. mittee and their comparison with the aocuments appended to the messages of the President on these subjects will exhibit @ mere repetien of the same facts by the same witnesses, thus making each case of outrage do frequent service in the way of exciting new horrors and arousing additional animosities. Again, it is observed that different witnesses recount the same cause of outrage, with such variations as their ima- ginations may create. An examination of this mass of testimony Will disclose the fact that no outrages are proven to have occurred in more than six or elght counties, all of which are named, and of these counties Alamance and Caswell were chiefly alleged to be the scenes of such lawlessness. ‘These were the counties selected by Holden as the pecullar ob- Jects of is vengeance and which were committed to the mercies of Kirk and Bergen; and yet the chief suiferer, whose case has been recited by almost every witness called from that region, one Caswell Holt, a colored man, who had been most cruelty beaten by a band of disguised men and subsequently wounded severely, was brought before the committee to recount his sufter- ings. Ls personal knowledge of all the cases in that county was limited to six, and four of these out- rages had been committed by a BAND OF DISGUISED OOLORED MEN. whose leaders confessed it to Caswell. The number | Of these outrages, detestable and wicked as the) } ave, is nevertheless grossly and wildly exaggerated, and this no one can doubt who will examine the testimony and who has had any knowledge of the credulity and inaccuracy of statements character- istic of our well meaning colored ae ie. North Carolina is one of the largest States, territorially, in the Unien, and is divided into eighty-seven counties and contains nearly one and a half millions of people, NO ABT OF LAWLESSNESS 1s actually proven to have been committed, except. ing in one or the other of six, perhaps cight, of these counties, and yet it is proposed to een ey vio- sent and stringent measures of coercion and repres- sion to the remaining nine-tenths of an estate, against which no breath of evidence or proof ot &dduced, but whic! 5 lawlessness has ever been on the contrary, exhibits a condinon of uiet almost suggesting the insensibility of espair. What cause can be alleged, ‘what aun to the American people can be used for his renewed and wanton invasion of a peaceful community? The statement that anarchy there exists is absurdly untre, and testimony now laid before the Senate overwhelmingly establishes its untruth, If aggressive laws are to be enacted, let ail disguise be cast off ana the true reason avowed, It will not be less violent or wrong, but it will be 1ess hypocritical and more manly. To any fair minded Idan we confidently commit the proofs contained in the testimony Low presented by the committee, and 7 aver that i the face of such wrongs as have been inflicted upon our unfortunate and crushed people by the rulers placed over them, not by their own consent, put by the exercise of despotic powers by the Congress of the United States. The example of equal submissiveness and patient endurance can be | found in history as is now presented by the people of the State of North Carolina. This ts the truth in @ nutshell, that Holden and his oficial supporters have failed to maintain themselves by any means, foul as well as fair, in their State. They have appealed to pepular elections and have been rejected with something near to unanimity by every taxpayer in the State, and now Congresss 18 asked to rap in and force North Carcliva down i again under the feet of her radical masters, and we fear that Congress will attempt t6 do this unwise ant Wicked thing, Will the people of the North, free as yet, see tls thing done and sua- | tain its promoters?
