resolution in reference to the affairs IN
Louisiana, which was read and referred
to the Judiciary Committee:
WHEREAS, On the fourth OF Jauary,
instant, 1875, the officers and soldiers OF
the army Of the United States have In
ierfered with and controlled the organi-
zation of the General Assembly Of the
State of Louisiana and certain persons
claiming seats in either branch thereof
have been prevented from holding the
same by such military for which acts OF
military intervention and control resulted
in dispensing the State Legislature and
have received the sanction and ratification
of the Chief Executive Of the United
States, therefore
Resolred, That in the deliberate judg-
ment of this House, such Intervention
and cont-ol were violation OF the Fed
eral Constitution, inasmuch as said force
was not used for the purpose denned by
the law, and could not be legally used
except for purposes specifically defined
that said intervention and control were
subversive Of the principles upon which
the system Of our government founded
and have no precedent in our history or
in the history Of free government; that
said intervention and control are defined
and insolent breaches of parliamentary
privileges, and illegal and revolutionary
/ infractions of local government, chartered
! liberty, and solemn treaty obligations and
therefore are not only uniustiiiablc out
RACES upon the State of Louisiana, but Il
I menace to the liberties, rights and digni-
tv of every other State, tending to gen.
/ eral decentralization and disorder by the
overthrow of civil liberty by arbitrary
power. We therefore, in the name OF
The people of the United States, whose
representatives we are, demand the resto-
ration of tranquility, order and civil dis
cpline in said State, by the immediate
withdrawal Of the military force ofthe
United States from said States and the
condign punishment of those guilty OF
! thi, reckless uSurpation.
