Mr. GUTHRIE:—I move the adoption of the seventh section of the report, as amended.
The Secretary read as follows:
Section 7. Congress shall provide by law that the United States shall pay to the owner the full value of his fugitive from labor, in all cases where the marshal, or other officer, whose duty it was to arrest such fugitive, was prevented from so doing by violence or intimidation from mobs or riotous assemblages, or when, after arrest, such fugitive was rescued by like violence or intimidation, and the owner thereby deprived of the same; and the acceptance of such payment shall preclude the owner from further claim to such fugitive. Congress shall provide by law for securing to the citizens of each State the privileges and immunities of citizens in the several States.
The vote on the adoption of this section was as follows:
Ayes.—Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, New Jersey, New Hampshire, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Tennessee, and Kansas—12.
Noes.—Connecticut, Iowa, Maine, Missouri, North Carolina, Vermont, and Virginia—7.
The vote of New York was divided.
So this last section was also adopted.
