that day by that conquered people, of the claimant
(Reeder) as their Delegate and agent to represent
them here, Twill not now iDquire-as these questions
do not arise upon the report now before the House
Upon the record before it to be the fact,
that the legislative rights Of the Territory have been
usurped, in defiance Of the people, and in violation
of the law that these usurpers have uplawfully
legislated and thai because Of this patton their
legislation is void well because it is not
stSeRt with the organic act the Constitution The
minority say you cannot inquire into this. If we
can, then it seems to be admitted that should.
have given my reasons for holding that we have
the power to make this investigation. 1 only add,
upon this point, that where a sovereign State
has chosen to kgisEate and enact, in formal man
ner, that an election made by a previous Assembly
was void and has, acting upon such legislation,
chosen a United States Senator, that election, as
well the statute of the State, has been declared
imperative and void by the United States Senate,
in the exercise of the power to judge Of the quali
cation election, and returns of its members" al
lude to the case of Potter u.s. Robbins reported in
the Gases of Contested Elections, p 49, The facts
these: On the 10Th Of January, 1888, the Gen
eral Assembly of the State of Rhode Island elected
Asher Robbins Senator in Congress for six years
from the Attn of March following. At tho October
session, A. d. 1888. the General Assembly OF that
State enacted statute, which after reciting SAID
election of Robbins, declared that the said election
be- and the same is hereby, declared to be null and
void and of no effect" And at the same session,
the said Legislature elected Potter Senator from
said State, in Congress, for six years. commencing
on the 4th OF March, 1888, ana ne receiver certh-
cate under the great seal of the State. On the mo-
ton to admit Robbins to his scar, Mr.. Kane said /:
Should the Senate be kind to Rhode Island to
take the appointment of Senator out of her hands,
and to saw that when she declared the first election
(Robbinsl null and void, she had made false deo-
laration This was point involving the sOUe7fign-
tv of the States The Senate in the exercise of its
constitutional power to inquire into the election of
its members went behind the statute of Rhode ISL
and declaring the election Of Robbins void and de-
eided that the statute had no effect, that it
and that Robbins was entitled to his
seat; and no was accordingly confirmed by the Sem
ate.
IT. in the exercise of its powers, the Senate could
go back of this statute, and find that under the Con-
stitution of the United States the Legislature of
Rhode Island had authority to pass this statute
why might not that Senate, if the organization Of
that State Legislature had been in any manner
trolled by the Constitution or laws of the United
States have inquired into that also, upon the CUES
ton Of the paltd,ty of its election Of Senator2 AL

but tne mouse ls TO Judge Oh the elections, rs well
as OF the qualifications OF its members KAhe House
had no power to judge of the elections y its mem
bers, there might be some ground for th assertion
that they could not go behind the fact the cleo
ton to inquire into it But, inasmuch he validi-
ty of the election of the sitting DelegsSe depends
upon the rghtfu exercise Of the leeisat 90 power in
the Territory by the Legislative Assent v, we have
as much power TO ascertain what that Asi !mby was
by whom chosen, and how it exercised ie power, as
we have TO inquire into the mode and manner in
which the election of the first Monday: of october
last was conducted. The minority Of thai committee
seem to hold the opinion that the contel ant has no
color of claim here, because he was cby ser at an
election not authorized by Territorial tatt,te Is
not this begging tho whole question-<4n implied
concession of the very point in dispute ~ If then
staute-a legal Territorial statute-was initial to
this Kansas Delegate election, why is it lot ~ oom-
potent for this House to inquire whether he was
body authorized to the statute as e. inquire if
the statute bad been enacted? Both i ;auities are
necessary to enable the House Ito Judge of The cleo
ton" But We are told the House must take notice
OF and abide by the statutes Certainly not when il
is denied that they valid statutes and it charg-
ed and in issue that there no legally tonsitu-
ted legislative body to enact the statutes. But we
are again told that every legislative body is the
elusive judge of the qualifications of its osn mem
bers and that its judgment is final.
That may BIO true of distinct, separate, ard inde-
pendent States-that the Legislature of each is the
sTcl"Ue judge of the qualifications Of its own
bers but not SO of Territorial Legislatur6 of lin
tied and delegated powers called into being by law
of Congress.
Sir, If that Territorial Legislature was caosep in
violation OF this organic act if tho elect Of its
members was Effected by arms, and not h. lac, it
VIII not do to say that Congress cannot inc hire into
it. The Constitution of the United States, and the
laws and treaties made in pursuance of it, are the
supreme law of the land and therefore the supreme
lGac OF every rood of that Territory
There stands your organic act for the government
OF TINS territory made in pursuance of the const-
tuition. and part of this supreme law. That act
preserlbes that the election Of the first l. gisatve

shall appoint and direct" 1t also prescribes the
