+ The Reconstruction Committee. il
their report, say that the Governors
appointed by the President could no
! exercise any but military power Of au
thority. They had no power to or
ganize civil governments, neither haC
the President any other than military
power The committee continue t
say that, from the whole mass Of ties
timony submitted by the President, i
appears that in no instance. in the
Southern States, was any regard paid
to any other consideration than that
Of obtaining immediate admission to
/ Congress, under the barren form OF
an election, in which no precautions
were taken to secure regularity of the
proceedings or the assent of the PEG
pie.
The committee maintain that the
people Of the South must prove thai
they have established, with the con.
sent Of the republican form Of GOV
eminent in harmony with the constitu
/ ton and laws Ofthe United States that
| all hostile purposes have ceased, and
! they must give adequate guarantees
/ against future treason and rebellion
/ which will be satisfactory to the gov
| eminent against which they rebelled
/ and by whose arms they were subdued
and they can only be restored to civil
and political rights by the permission
/ and authority Of that constitutional
/ power against which they rebelled.
/ The committee say further. it has
/ been shown by evidence that no proof
has been given to Congress Of a con
sistency IN any Of the so-called Con
federate States, excepting in Tennes

zeal bodies have been under military

committee is that the power Of con
querOrs is not SO vested in the Pres
ldcnt that he can fix terms Of settle
ment, and confer congressional rep
resentation ON conquered rebels and
traitors The question before Con
grcss then is shall rebels and traitors
come into Congress and make their
own terms The instinct of self pres
eryation argues against it,
Satisfactory security. the committee
say, can only be found in such
changes Of the organic laws as shall
determine the civil rights and priv
ileges Of citizens in all parts of the
republic, that representation should
be on an equitable basis: a stigma
should be fixed on treason, and pro
lection be given loyal people against
future claims for expenses incurred III
the rebellion, and for slaves enamel
pated, by the war, together with an
express grant Of power in Congress
to enforce these provisions.
