CASES ADJUDGED

IN THE

SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES,

AT

OCTOBER TERMS, 1905-1906.

HODGES v. UNITED STATES.

ERROR TO THE DISTRICT COURT OF THE UNITED STATES FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS.

No. 14 of October Term, 1905.-Submitted October 19, 1905.-Restored to the docket, for oral argument, November 6, 1905.-Argued April 23, 1906.-Decided May 28, 1906.-Opinion withheld until dissent filed, October 24, 1906.

The Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments operate solely on state action and not on individual action. Unless the Thirteenth Amendment vests jurisdiction in the National Government, the remedy for wrongs committed by individuals on persons of African descent is through state action and state tribunals, subject to supervision of this court by writ of error in proper cases.

Notwithstanding the adoption of the Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments, the National Government still remains one of enumerated powers, and the Tenth Amendment is not shorn of its vitality. Slavery and involuntary servitude as denounced by the Thirteenth Amendment mean a condition of enforced compulsory service of one to another; and while the cause inciting that amendment was the emancipation of the colored race, it reaches every race and every individual.

The result of the Amendments to the Constitution adopted after the Civil War was to abolish slavery, and to make the emancipated slaves citizens
