abol't the constiti'tion al. amendments.
The democratic Senators held a caucus this j
morning to consider what course should be pursued
on the ievolution of Senator Edmunds now |
Fending In the Senate, which declares that t he
thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amendments
are valid an<l of the same paramount authority
as any other part of the constitution:
that the people of each state have a common
inteiest in the enforcement of the whole constitution
in every state in the I'nion, and that
it is alike the right and duty of Congress to enforce
said amendments and to protect every
citizen in the exercise of all rights thereby secured
by laws of the general character already
passed tor that purpose, and by further legislation,
so lar as such enforcement and protection
are rot secured by existing laws; and that it is
the duty of the executive department of the
government faithfully and with diligence to ,
carry all such laws into impartial execution
and of Congress to appropriate all moneys
needful to that end. The reflation further declares
that it is the duty of congress to provide
by law for the full and impartial protection
of all citizens of the lotted Stares
legally qualitied. In the right to vote
for representatives in (ongress, and to this end
the committee on the judiciary be, and it hereby
is, instructed to prepare and report, as soon
as may be, a bill for the protection of such i
rights "and the punishment of infraetions there- I
of. The democrat Ic senators agreed upon a sub- j
stittile for the above named resolution, to bo offered
when it shall l*e taken up for consideration
in theSenate. WhileInthesubstitu'e they
admit theistb, nth and ].">t li amendments to j
the constitution to be of binding force and va- <
lidity, they legard Senators Edmunds resolu- ]
tion as proposing legislative action in conflict ;
with the decisions of the supreme Court, particularly
in the Cruikshank case regarding those j
amendments, and they quote from the dicta of
the court to sustain the ground which will be j
taken in the substitute that the rniled States |
have ho citizens distinctively theirown; that j
the constitution does not canfer the right to !
vote on any one. but simply confers the privilege
of freedom from any discrimination on account
of race, color or previous condition, and j
that the regulation of suffrage belmgs e.xclu- |
sively to the several states.
