THE MAJORITY REPORT.
The Committee on the Judiciary, to whom
was referred the resolution ot the 7th March last,
authorizing them to inquire into the official con
duct ol Andrew Johnson, Vico President ot the
United States, discharging tlie present duties ot
the office ot President ot the United State*, and
to report to this House whether, iu their opinion,
tlie said Andrew Johnson, w hile in said office,
has been guilty of acts which were designed nr
calculated to overthrow or corrupt the Govern
ment of the United States, or any department,
or officer thereof; and whether the said Andrew
Johnson ha9 been guilty of any act, or li ts con
spired with otliers lo do acts which, in the con
templation of the Constitution, are high crimes
and misdemeanors, requiring the interposition ot
the constitutional power ot this House, respect-
tally report:
That in the pei lormnnc'e of the important
task assigned them, they have spared u > pains
to make thslr investigation as complete as pos
sible, not only by the exploration ot the public
archives, but in inflowing every indication that
seemed to promise additional light upon the
great subject ot inquiry, ami they submit here
with tlie result of that portion of their labor in
the voluminous exhibit which accompanies tills
report. In order, however, to direct the atten
tion of the House in such portions ot tlie some
what heterogeneous mass ol testimony which
they have been compelled to present without
the order or arrangement that might have facili
tated its examination, ns are regarded by them
as most muterinl to tlie issue, they will now
proceed to state as briefly as possible tlie leading
facts which they snpposo the inquiry to have
developed beyond dispute, along with their own
conclusions tnerclroin, and the reasons by which
they have been influenced in reaching them.—
In so doing they must be allowed (lie indulgence
which a comprehensive scrutiny, running over a
two years’ administration ol tin; affairs ol a great
government, through an unexampled crisis of
the State, nnd involving tlie very highest matters
that can engage the attention of u free people,
would seem to necessitate, nnd must tit nil events
excuse.
The charges made, and to which the investi
gations ot the committee have been especially
directed, are usurpation of power and violation
ol law in tlie corrupt abuse of the appointing,
pardoning, and veto power; in tlie corrupt in
terference in elections, nnd generally in tin-
commission ot acts amounting to high crimes
and misdemeanors under the Constitution ; anil
upon tliis recital it was charged with the more
S eneral duty ol inquiring into the nfflciul con-
uctol the President of me United States, and
of reporting “ wbcihef lie ltad been guilty of
any acts which were designed or calculated to
overthrow, subvert or corrupt the Government
of the United Stat -s, or which, in contemplation
ufthe Constitution, would constitute a high
crime or misdemeanor r< quiring the Interposi
tion of the constitutional power ot the House.”
It will he observed that the great salient point
of accusalioD, standing out in the foreground
with the design nl ro-
vent Ions, called by 1
the tnirposo of or*
itiitg up such Illegal governments
fit recentlv iu rebellion, prior to
*s, with the In-
_ . _ t to accept, ratify,
aud rouflrtu ancli illegal ami unconstitutional
proceedings.
In that lie did, within and lor tlie States re
cently iu retwiUlon, create and establish as a civil
office the office of provisional governor, so-called,
an office unknown to the Uonstllntioti or Ittwsof
the land.
In that he appointed lo such office so created,
in utii.l Slates, respectively, men who were putt-
lie ami notorious traitors, lie well knowing that
titty had been engaged in open, persistent, and
and toruihhiblc ellorls for the overthrow of the
Government of tlie United Slates; and well
knowing, also, Hull these men could not enter
upon the duties ol sttid office without committing
Hi.) crime of perjury, in mnnifest violation ot the
laws ot the country.
In that lie directed the Secretary of Slate to
promise payment of money lo said persons so
illegally appointed as salary, or compensation
tor services to he perlortned in said oflleo so
illegally cicall'd, contrary to the provisions of
Hie law ol tlm United Stiles,approved February
II, ISliil, entitled “Alt net making appropriation
lor the support of the army for the year ending
tlie 10th day ol June, ISO4, and lor a deficiency
for tin* signal service for tlm year ending .lime t
JO, 1 Stiff.” , |
lu tli.it he directed the Secretary of War to j
pav iiiom-va lot-aid persons lor service porlorumd
in said office so illegally crartod, which moneys I
wore so paid under his direction, without ait- i
thority ol law, contrary lo law, and in violation
ol the Constitution ol the United Slates.
In that lie deliberately dispen.soil with and
suspen.h-d the operation of a provision ol a law
of the United Stales passed on the till ol July,
18112, entitled "Au act to prescribe an oath ot
office, and lor other purposes”
lu dint he appointed lo offices created by the
laws of the United Stales persons who, as was
well known to him, had been engaged in tlie
rebellion, who were guilty of the crime of trea
son, and wlio could not, without cinniniUiug the
crime of perjury, or otherwise violatiug critin-
iiall.v the said act ol July 2,1SDJ, enter upon
the ’duties tliereol.”
In that without authority of luw, and contrary
In law, he used and applied property taken from
the enemy in time of war tor tlie payment ot the
expenses and the support ol the said illegal and j 1 lu - ,° r , ‘ r , ,,

izing faculties, was obviously unfilled by the very
uuiurc of his office. If Mr. Lincoln had sur
vived, it is not to lie doubled, trim, hie habit uni
di ferem e to the public will, Hint although a fiti
r.i-ii of a loyal State, enjoying the public confi
dence in the highest possible degree, lit* would
have ti lt it to he his duty to convoke the repre
sentatives of tlie people, to lay down his sword
iu their presence, ami to refer it to their enlight
ened ami patriotic judgment to decide what was
to Im done with the territories nnd people that
had been brought under Hu. authority ol the
Government by our arms. The bloody hand of
treason unfortunately hurried him away in the
very hour of the nation’s triumph. Hat i! there
were reasons which could have made tins duty
un imperative one with hint, how powerlull.v
were they reinforced liy the double ellect of the
tragedy that not only deprived the nation ol its
trusted head, but east the reins of Government
upon a successor. The new President was him
self in tlm d.'ublhll and delicate position ol
a citizen ol one of the revolting Slates, which
were lo ho sntnmouod for judgment before the
oar ot the American people. It was, perhaps,
hut natural that lie should sympathise with the
communities Ironi which he Innl mainly differed
only on prudential reasons, or, in other words, as
to the wisdom ot the revolt at that particular
juncture ot affairs. It other arguments ltad not
Millleed lo convince him ol the necessity of re
ferring all these great questions to the only tribu
nal on earth that ltad the power to decide them,
il ought to have lieen sufficient that lie owed
alike ltis honors and his accidental powers to the
generous confidence ot the loyal States, lie ex
pected, of course, that they would Insist, as they
had u right to do, upon such conditions as would
teait'Tlie’amplest securities tor the lutnre. In-
stead, thetvlore, ot convoking Hie Congress of
the United Stales to deliberate upon the condi
tion of tlie country, he seems to have made up
his mind to undertake that mighty task himself,
to lbrcslai tlio judgment and the wish, s of the
lo.Vul people, and to neutralize the power to undo
Iti'» work by bringing in tlie rebel States them
selves lo participate itt tlie deliberations upon
any and all questions which might be left lor set
tlement.
To effect litis object im issues his imperial pro
clamations, beginning with that ol tlie 29th of
May, in virtue, as he says,ol his double authori
ty as President ot the United States and Coiu-
mnnder-iivChief of the armies, declaring th
governments of these States to have perished:
creating, under tlie denomination of provisional
governors, civil officers unknown to the law; ap
pointing to these offices men who were uototi-
nusly disqualified, by reason of their participa
tion in the rebellion, from holding any office un
der this Government, and yet allowed to hold the
same, and exercise the duties tliereol, at salaries
fixed liy himself, and paid out »t the contingent
iuml of one ol the departments, in dear viola
tion of the a ts ol July 2.1, 1803, and February
Dili, 180J; del biting, moreover, at tlie. same lime
that the governments ol these Stales ltad been
destroyed, he assumes il h> he his individual
tight, its being hints. H the State, rather the Uui-
t.-ii States, to execute the guarantee of the Con
st iiutiou by providing them with new ones, and
accordingly directed his pretended governors to
call conventions of such < f the people as it was
his pleasure to indie or,to make his constitutions
lor them on sueh ti mis uud with sueh provisions
as were agreeable to himself. Unpruvhled, how
ever, ot course, in the absence ot Congress, with
the necessary resources to meet the expenses ol
theso organizations, lie not only directs the pay
meat ol a portion of them onto! the contingent
fund of the War Department, but with a bold
ness unequalled even by Charles I, when he too
undertook to reign without a Pailiument, pro
vales for a deficit by authorizing the seizure of
property uud tlie appropriation ot tuom ys be
longing to the Government, and directing his
endeavors to levy taxes lor the same purpose
from the subject people.

to gravitate ami revolve; and it is to this point,
therelure, as lit.' grout inasler-kcy which unlocks
aud Interpri-ta all of them, that the utteutiott of
th* Bouse will lie first directed.
It is a fact of history that the obstinate and
protracted struggle tsitwceo the ezccutive and
legislative departments,arising out of the cluini
ot more than kingly power on the one hand, aud
•a strongly maintained by tlie operation of the
Just rights ot the sovereignty bulged with it liy

the government ol North Carolina, ami whether
any other government that might he set up

itnlec to every State in tlie Union n republican
form ol government; and contrary also lo a de
liberate opinion of the Supremo Court, which
declared Hurt Congress is vested exclusively with
the power to (liable whether the government ol

in that he did iherentter reorganize and treat
a plan ot government, set up in North Carolina

direction, as republican lu form, und entirely

chlslvuly vested; i.nd notwithstanding Congress
did retusu to recognize such gnveitimeut us a le-
ffiilmute government, or as a government repub
lican lu h.t III.
lu that, Gy u public pmcluiuittioii and other
wise, lie did, in the .vc.tr 1803, invite, aolicil, and
convene in cerium other '-lutes, then recently iu
rebellion, conventions ol iiersons, many ol whom
wciu known traitors who hud I'.'cn organized iu
an attempt to overthrow the Government ot the

All of which acts was a usurpation of power
contrary to tlie laws and Constitution ol tlio
United 'States, and in violuliou of his oath ol
office, ns President ol the United Stales.
In that, said Andrew Johnson, President ol
the United States, lias, in messages to Congress,
and otherwise publicly denied substantially the
iglii ot Congress to provide for the pacification,
Government and restoration ot said Stales to the
Jjnion; uml in like manner lie asserted his ex
clusive right to provide governments therclor,
and to accept und proclaim the restoration of
said States to the Union ; all of which is in der
ogation ol the rightful authority ol Congress,
ami calculated to subvert the Government of tlie
United Stales.
It that, iu accordance with said declaration
lie. inis vetoed various bills passed by Congress lor
the pacification and government ol tiie States re
cently iu rebellion, and their speedy restoration
to tlie Union, anil upon Hie ground and for the
reason that Hie said Stales had been restored to
their places in the Union by his aforesaid ille
gal ami unconstitutional proceedings, thus so
mierposing and using a constitutional power of
the office he held as to prevent the restoration ot
Hu. Union upon a constitutional basis.
Iu Hurt, lie lias exercised the power ot remov
als from and appointments to office tor the pttr-
poso of maintaining effectually his aforesaid
usurpation, und lor Hie purpose of securing the
recognition by Congress of the Stale govern
ments so illegally and unconstitutionally set up
iu the States recently in lubullion; stu b re
movals and appointments having been attended
and followed with great injury to tlie public ser
vice, and with enormous losses to the public
revenue.
In that in the exercise of the pardoning pow-
fiulitfreT aruf"ninety-three men holong7ng'" > o
We.-t Virginia, who upon the records of the
Wnr Deprrintent, were marked as deserters
from the army in time of war; and this upon
t lie representation of private and interested per
sons, nnd without previous investigation by any
officer ot tlio War Department, and lor the sole
pm pi sc of enabling sueh persons lo veto iu an
( lection then pending in said State, mid with
the expectation Hnu they would so vote us to
support hint in 1.is alhrcsttld unconstitutional
proceedings,he then well knowing that the men
so restored, and by virtue of such restoration,
would he entitled to a large sum of money from
tlio Treasury ol the United States.
In Unit, by his message to the lloitse ot llep-
resentatives, on the 22.1 day of June, 18ti(), aud
by other public and private means, lie has at
tempted to prevent the ratification of an amend
ment to the Constitution of the United States
proposed to the several States by the two Houses
of Congress, agreeably to the Constitution oi the
United States, although such proposed amend
ment provided, among other things, for the val
idity ol tiie public debt ol the United States, and
rendered tliu payment of any claim for alaves
emancipated or ot any debt incurred in aid of
insurrection or rebellion against the United States
impossible, either by the Government of the
United States or by any ot tlio Stales recently in
rebellion, he well 'knowing that Hie provisions
inserted under and by his dictation in tlio said
illegal constitutions for said States wore wholly
inadequate to protect tliu loyal people thereof, or
the people ot the United States, against the pay
ment of claims on account oi slaves emancipa
ted, aud »l debts incurred by such States in aid
of rebellion, thus rendering it practicable and
easy lor those in authority iu the aforesaid illegal
and uuconsliUitional governments thus set up to
tax aud oppress tliu loyal people of such States
tor the benefit ot those who have been engaged
iu the attempt to overthrow the Government ol
tho United States.
In that ho has made official mnl other public
declarations and statements calculated and de
signed to iujure aud impair the credit of the Uni
ted States, to encourage persons recently en
gaged in rebellion nguiust Us authority to obstruct
and resist the reorganization of tlie rebel Stales,
so-called, upon a republican basis, and calcula
ted and designed also to deprive tlie Congress of
tlie United States of America the confidence of
the people, ns well in its patriotism as in its con
stitutional right to exist and to act a-ithe depart
ment of the Government which, under the Con
stitution, possesses exclusive legislative power;
and all this with the intent ot rendering Con
gress incapable ot resisting either his said usur
pations of power or of providing und enforcing
measures necessary for Hie pacification and res
toration ol tlie Union.
Aud that in all this he has exercised the veto
power, the power of removal aud appointment,
Hie pardoning power, and other cuualitutional
powers of his office for the purpose of delaying,
hinderiug, obstructing, aud preventing tbu resto
ration ol Hie Uuion by constitutional means, and
for the lurlhcr purpose ot alienating from the
Government aud laws of the United Stutes those
persons who ltad been engaged iu the rebellion,
aud who, without aid, coiniort, und encourage
ment thus by him given to them, would have re
sumed, in good lattii, their ullegiancotothuCoii-
stitutiott; and all with the expectation ot con
ciliating them to hints, li personally, that be
might thereby finally prevent the restoration ol
the Union upon the buds of the laws passed by
Congress.
And, further, Hint the said Audrew Johnson,
President of tliu United States, transferred and
sitt rendered, and authorized and directed tlie
ttunslorntid surrender ol railroad properly, of
the value of many millions ol dollars, to persons
who ltad lieen engaged In tho rebellion, or to
coipnrtrtitms owned wholly or In part by such
persons, ho well knowing Hint in somo instances

property had heeu captured Ironi (lie enemy in

In that ho directed and authorized the aalo of
