_ Whereas, the said cases and flags of the Southern Confederacy
were placed in the White House of the Confederacy under the control
of the Confederate Memorial Literary Association: and
Whereas, it is desired by the Confederate Memorial Literary As-
sociation on account of lack of space to remove said cases and flags to
the Confederate Memorial Institute (The Battle Abbey) ; and
Whereas, the trustees of the said Confederate Memorial Institute
are prepared and equipped to house and to display handsomely in the

In relation to Federal “Anti-Lynching Bill”
Agreed to by Senate, January 26, 1938.
Agreed to by House, January 28, 1938.
Resolved by the Senate, the House of Delegates concurring, that
the General Assembly of Virginia, now in session, hereby declares
its unalterable opposition to the enactment by the Congress of the
United States of H. R. 1507, known as the “Anti-Lynching’’ bill, and
to the substitute therefor reported by the Senate Committee on the
Judiciary, commonly known as the Wagner-VanNuys Bill, now de-
pending before the Senate, and we respectfully urge the Senators
from Virginia to oppose both by their vote and influence, the passage
of this obnoxious legislation.
The General Assembly calls attention to the fact that in the year
1928 it passed and the Governor approved a Statute, still in effect
and found in the Acts of 1928, page 715, for the prevention of lynch-
ing, and points with pride to the splendid record of the Commonwealth
in stamping out this crime.
We submit that the prevention of lynching is the duty and
responsibility of the several States and that no Constitutional power
rests in the Federal Government to invade this province of the States
or to make itself the judge of whether this duty is fulfilled, much less
to prosecute state or local officials for alleged failure thereof.
In view of the fact that there were only eight lynchings in the
United States during the year 1937, that the crime of lynching has
steadily and rapidly decreased, and that no necessity exists for the
passage of such a law by the Congress (even assuming its power to
enact it, which we deny), the General Assembly resents the attempt of
the supporters of this bill to empower a Federal agency at Washington
to judge, censor, and if necessary to prosecute in the Federal courts
officials of the States and their political sub-divisions, for -alleged
neglect of duty in respect to lynching.
Representing one of the group of Southern States, we view with
regret and alarm the obvious political motives behind this legislation
and we join our sister Southern States in opposing it as unnecessary,
futile, unconstitutional, and as a reflection upon, if not an insult to,
the people of the South.
We condemn, as do all right thinking men, the crime of lynching,
but we assert with confidence that it cannot be prevented or controlled
by the legislation proposed, the only result of which (if enacted) will
be disturbance of the amicable relations now existing between the
races in Virginia and other Southern States.
The Clerk of the House of Delegates is directed to forward copies
of this resolution, properly authenticated, to the Vice-President of the
United States, with request that it be laid before the Senate, and copies
shall likewise be sent by him to Senators Glass and Byrd.
To authorize E. Griffith Dodson to have published an additional 2,000 copies of
the book entitled ‘The Capitol at Richmond, Virginia”.
Agreed to by House, January 31, 1938.
Agreed to by Senate, February 2, 1938.
Resolved by the Senate, the House of Delegates concurring, That
KE. Griffith Dodson, Clerk of the House of Delegates and Keeper of the
Rolls of the State, be, and he is hereby authorized, to have published an
edition of two thousand additional copies of the book entitled “The Capi-
tol at Richmond, Virginia,” compiled and copyrighted by him, with such
changes as he may deem proper, to be bound in cloth, comparable in
binding, paper and printing to the first editions, for which the sum of
$2,600.00 or so much thereof as may be necessary is hereby appropriated
from any balance in the general fund of the treasury not otherwise
appropriated, and the Comptroller is directed to issue his warrants on the
State Treasurer to pay for the same on the order of the Clerk of the
House of Delegates, approved by the Speaker of the House of Dele-
gates and the President of the Senate, five copies to be distributed
free to each member attending this session of the General Assembly,
the Clerk of the Senate, and the Clerk of the House of Delegates,
three hundred copies to be given to the Virginia State Library for
distribution and exchange, and the remaining copies to be sold by the
Director of the Division of Purchase and Printiny at such price as
shall be fixed by the Governor, from time to time.
