I think it is outside of our legitimate functions and purposes to order congressional investigation upon this subject at all. Suppose you make the inquiry. what will be the result ? You will get a report signed by three or four one way and two or three the other. and it will satisfy nobody. How can you prevent these people from going from one State to another? There is emigration going on all the time. Are we to inquire into the motive of men for going from one place to another? What have we to do with their motive I I do not think we have anything to do with it at all.
