THE PUBLIC GOOD BEFORE PRIVATE ADVANTAGE.
BF lIHIR & SMITH.
Southern (Confrikratg
The Confiscation Bill.
There being an almost universal desire to
sea this important bill, we give it below, in
full:
An Acr for the Sequestration of the Estates,
Property and Effects of Alien Enemies, and
for the indemnity of citizens of the Confed
erate States, and persons aiding the same
in the existing war with the United States.
Whereas, The Government and people of
the United States have departed from the us
ages of civilized warfare in confiscating and
destroying the property of the people of the
Confederate States of all kinds, whether used
for military purposes or not; and whereas,
our only protection against such wrongs is to
be found in such measuaes of retaliation as
will ultimately indemnify our own citizens for
their losses, and restrain the wanton excesses
of our enemies; Therefore,
Section 1. Be it enacted by the Congress
ot the Confederate States of America, That
all and every, the lands, tenements and
hereditaments, goods and chattels, rights and
credits within these Confederate States, and
every right and interest therein held, owned,
poscessed or enjoyed by or for any alien ene
my since the twenty-first day of May, one
thousand eight hundred and ex
cept such debts due to an alien enemy as may
have been paid into the Treasury of any one
of the Confederate States prior to the passage
of this law, be, and the same are hereby se
questrated by the Confederate States of Amer
ica, and shall be heldifor the full indemnity of
any true and loyal citizen or resident of these
Confederate States, or other person aiding
said Confederate States in the prosecution of
the present war between said Confederate
States and the United States of America, and
for which he may suffer any loss or injury
under the act of the United States to which
this act is retaliatory, or under any other act
of the United States, or of any State thereof,
authorizing the seizure, condemnation, or con
fiscation of the property of citizens or resi
dents of the Cofederate States, or other per
son aiding said Confederate States, and the
same shall be seized and disposed of as provi
ded for in this act: Provided, however, When
the estate, property or rights to be effected
by this act were, or are within some State of
this Confederacy, which has become such
since said twenty first day of May, then this
act shall operate upon, and as to such estate,
property or rights, and all persons claiming
the same from and after the day such State so
became a member of this Confederacy, and
not before: Provided, further, That the pro
visions of this act shall not extend to the
stocks or other public securities of the Con
federate Government, or of any of the States
of this Confederacy held or owned by any
alien enemy, or to any debt, obligation, or
sum due from the Confederate Government,
or any of the States, to such alien enemy:
And provided also, That the provisions of this
act shall not embrace the property of citizens
or residents of either of the States of Del
aware, Maryland, Kentucky or, Missouri, or
of the District of Columbia, or the Territo
ries of New Mexico, Arizona, or the Indian
Territory South of Kansas, except such of
said citizens or residents as shall commit ac
tual hostilities against the Confederate States,
or aid and abet the United States in the exist
ing war against the Confederate States.
Skction 2. And be it further enacted, That
it is, and shall be the duty of each and every
citizen of these Confederate States speedily to
give information to the officers charged with
ihe execution of this law of any and every
lands, tenements and hereditaments, goods
and chattels, rights and credits within this
Confederacy, and of every right and interest
therein held, owned possessed or enjoyed by
or for any alien enemy as aforesaid.
Section •>. Be It further enacted, That it
shall be the duty of every Attorney, agent,
former partner, trustee or other person hold
ing or controlling any such lands, tenements
or hereditaments, goods or chattels, rights er
credits,‘.or any interest therein, of or for any
such alien enemy, speedily to inform the Re
oeiver, hereinafter provided to bo appointed,
of the same and to render an account there
of, and so far and practicable to price the
same in the hands of such Receiver; where
upon, such person shall be fully acquitted of
all responsibility for property and effects so
reported and turned over. And any such
person wilfully failing to give such informa
tion and render such account shall be guilty
of a high misdemeanor, and, upon indictment
and conviction, shall be fined in a sum not ex
ceeding five thousand dollars and imprisoned
no longer than six months, said fine and im
prisonment to be determined by the court try
ing the case, and shall further be liable to be
sued by said Confederate Slates, and subjec
ted to pay double the value of the estate, pro
perty or effects of the alien enemy held by
him or subject to bis control.
Skction 4. It shall be the duty of the sev
eral Judges of this Confederacy to give this
aot specially in charge to the Grand Juries of
these Confederate States, and it shall be their
duty al each silting well and truly to inquire
and report all lands, tenements and heredita
monte, goods and chattels, rights and credits,
and every interest therein within the juris*
diction of said Grand Jury, held by or for
any alien enroy, and it shall be the duty of
the several Receivers, appointed under this
act, to take a copy of every such report, and
to proceed in obtaining the possession and
control of all such property and effects re
ported, and to institute proceedings for the
sequestration thereof in the manner herein
after provided.
Skction 5. lie it further enacted, That each
Judge of this Confederacy shall, as early as
practicable, appoint a Receiver for each sec
tion of the State for which he holds a court,
and shall require biut before entering upon
the duties of his office, to give a bond in such
penality as may be preecibed by the Judge,
with good and sufficient security, to be ap
proved by the Judge, conditioned that he will
diligently and faithfully discharge the duties
imposed upon him by law. And said officer
shall hold his office at the pleasure of the
Judge of the district or section for which he
is appointed, and shall bo removed for inoom •
peteney. or Infidelity in the discharge of hie
trust. And should the duties of any such
Receiver, at any time, appear to the Judge te
be greater than can be efficiently performed
by him, then it shall be the duty of the Judge
to divide the district or section into one or
more other Reecievers’ districts, according to
the necessities of the case, and to appoint a
Receiver for each of said newly created dis
tricts. And every such Receiver shall also,
before entering upon the duties of his office,
make oath in writing before the Judge of the
district or section for which he is appointed,
diligently, well and truly to execute the du
ties of his office.
Section 6. Be it further enacted, That it
shall be the duty of the several Receivers
aforesaid to take the possession, control and
management of ail lands, tenements and he
reditaments, goods and chattels, rights and
credits of each and every alien enemy within
the section for which he acts. And to this
end he is empowered and required, whenever
necessary for accomplishing the purpose of
this Act, to sue for and recover the same in
the name of said Confederate States, allowing
in the recovery of credits, such delays as may
have been or may be prescribed in any State
as to the collection of debts therein during
the war. And the form and mode of action,
whether the matter be of jurisdiction in law
or equity, shall be by petition to the court
setting forth, as best as he can, the estate,
property, right or thing sought to be recover
ed, with the name of the person holding, ex
ercising supervision over, in possession of or
controlling the same, as the case may be, and
praying a sequestration thereof. Notice shall
thereupon be forwith issued by the clerk of
the court, or by the Receiver, to such person,
with acopy of the petition, and the same shall
be served by the Marshal or his deputy and
returned to the courts as other mesne process
in law cases; whereupon the cause shall
be docketed and stand for trial in the court
according to the usual course of its buisness,
and the court or Judge shall at any time,
make all orders of seizure that may seem ne
cessary to secure the subject matter of the
suit from danger of loss, injury, destruction
or waste, and tuay, pending the cause make
orders of sale in cases that may seem to such
Judge, or court, necessary to preserve any
property sued for from perishing or waste ;
Provided, That, in any case when the Confed
erat Judge shall find it to be consistent with
the safe-keeping of the property so sequester
ed to leave the same in the hands and under
the control of any debtor or person in whose
hands the real estate and slaves were seized,
who may be in possession of the said proper
ty, or credits, he shall the same to re
main in the hands and under the control of
said debtor or person in whose hands the real
estate and slaves were seized, requiring, in ev
ery such case, such security for the safe keep
ing of the propei ty and credit, as he may deem
sufficient for the purpose aforesaid, and to
abide by such further others as the court may
make in the premises. But this proviso shall
not apply to bank or other corporation stock,
or dividends due, or which may be due there
on, or to rents on real estates in cities. And
no debtor or other person shall be entitled to
the benefit of this proviso unless he has first
paid into the hands of the Receiver all inter
ests or net profits which may have accrued
since the 21sl of May, 1861 ; and, in all cases
coming under this proviso, such debtor shall
be bound to pay over, annually, to the Receiv
er, all interest which may accrue as the same
falls due ; and the person in whose hands any
other property may be left, shall be bound to
account for, and pay over annually to the Re
ceiver the net income or profits of said prop
erty, and, on failure of such debtor, or other
person, to pay over such interest, not income
or profits, as the same falls due, the Receiver
may demand and recover the debt or property.
And, wherever, after ten day’s notice to any
debtor or person, in whose hands property or
debts may be left, of an application for fur
ther security, it shall be made to appear to the
satisfaction of the court that the securities of
such debtor or person are not ample, the court
may, on the failure of the party to give suffix
cient additional security, render judgment
against all the parlies on the bond for the re
covery of the debt or property : Provided, fur
ther, That said court may, whenever, in the
opinion of the Judge thereof, the public exi
gencies may require it, order the money due
as aforesaid to be demanded by the Receiver,
and if, upon demand of the Receiver, made in
conformity to a decretal order of the court, re
quiring said Receiver to collects any debts for
the payment of which security may have been
given under the provisions of this Act, the
debtor, or his security, shall fail to pay the
same, then, upon ten days’ notice, the said
debtor and his security, given by said Reciv
er, of a motion to be made in said court for
judgment for the amount so secured,said court,
at the next term thereof, may proceed to ren
derjudgment against said principal and se
curity, or againet the party served with such
notice, for the sum so secured, with interest
theron, in the name of said Receiver, and to
issue execution therefore.
Sec. 7. Any person in the possession and
control of the subject matter of any such suit,
or claiming any interest therein, may, hy or
der of the oourt, be admitted as a defendant
and be allowed to defend to the extend of the
interest propounded by him; but no 'person
shall be heard in defence, until he shall file a
plea, verified by affidavit and signed by him
setting forth that no alien enemy has any in
terest in the right which he asserts, or for
which he litigates, nither directly or indirect
ly, by trust, open or secret, and that he liti
gates solely for himself, or for some citizen of
the Confederate States whom he legally repre
sents ; and when the defense is conducted for
or on account of another, in whole or in part,
the plea shall set forth the name and resi
dence of such other person, and the relation
that the defendant bears to him in the litiga
tion. If the cause involves matter which
should be tried by a jury, according to the
■ course of common law, the defendant shall be
entitled to.a jury trial. If it involves matters ■
of equity jurisdiction, the court shall proceed I
according to its usual mode of procedure in ;
such cases, and the several courts of thia Con- :
federacy may, from time to time, establish ,
rules of procedure under this act, not incon
sistent with the act or other laws of these
Confederate States.
Sbc. 8. Be it further enacted. That the clerk
of the court shall al the request of the receiv
er, from time, to time issue writs of garnish
ment, directed to one or more persona, com

IMTA, GEORGIA, SUNDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 22, 1861.
at any future term of the court, and to an
swer under oath what property or effects of
any alien enemy he had at the service of the
process, or since has had under his posses
sion or control belonging to or held for an
alien enemy, or in what sum, if any, he is or
was at the time of service of the garnishment,
or since has been indebted to any alien ene
my, and the court shall have power to con
demn the property or effects, or debts accord
ing to the answer, and to make such rules and
orders for the bringing in of third persons
claiming or disclosed by the answer to have an
interest in the litigation as to it shall seem
proper; but in no case shall any one be heard
in respect threuoto until he shall, by sworn
plea, set forth substantially the matters be
fore required of parties pleading. And the
decree or judgment of tho court, rendered in
conformity to this act, shall forever protect
the garnishee in respect to the matter involv
ed. And in all cases of garnishment under
this act, the Receiver may test the truth of
the garnishae’s answer by filing a statement,
under oath, that he believes the answer to be
untrue, specifying the particulars in which
he believes the garnishee has, by omission or
commission, not answered truly ; whereupiu
the courtshall cause an issue to be made be
tween the Receiver and garnishee, and judg
ment rendered upon the (rial of other issues.
And in all cases of litigation under this act,
the Receiver may propound interrogatories to
the adverse party touching any matter involv
ed in the litigation, a copy of which shall be
served on the opposite party or his attorney,
and which shall be answered under oath with
in thirty days of such service, and upon fail
ure so to answer, the court shall make such
disposition of the cause as shall to it seem
most promotive or justice, or should it deem
answers to the interrogatories necessary in
such order to secure a discovery, the court
shall imprison the party in default until full
answer shall be made.
Sec. 9 —lt shall be the duty of the District
Attorney of the Confederate States, diligently
to prosecute all cases instituted under this act,
and he shall receive as a compensation there
for two per cent, on and from the fruits of all
litigation instituted under this act: Provided,
That no matter shall be called litigated except
a defendant be admitted by the court, and a
proper plea be filed.
Sec. 10. Be it further enacted, That each
Receiver appointed under tbisact shall, at least
every six months, and as much oftener as may
be required by tbe court, render a true and
perfect account of all matters in his bands or
under his control under the law, and shall
make and state just and perfect accounts and
settlements under oath of his collections of
monies and disbursements under this law, sta
ting accounts and making settlements of all
matters separately, in the same way as if he
were administrator of several estates of de
ceased persons by separate appointments.—
And tbe settlements and decrees shall be for
each case or estate separately, so tbat the
transaction in respect to each alien enemy’s
property may be kept recorded and preserved
separately. No settlement as above provided
shall, however, be made until judgment or de
cree of sequestration shall have passed, but
the court may at any time pending litigation,
require an account of matters in litigation and
in the possession of tbe Receiver, and may
make such orders touching the same as shall
protect tho interest of the parties concerned.

be published consecutively for four weeks in
some newspaper near the place of holding tbe

copy of such newspaper to tbe District Attor
ney of the Confederate States, for the court,
where the matter is to be heard, and it shall
be tbe duty of said District Attorney to attend
the settlement and represent the Government,
and see tbat a full, true and just settlement is
made. The several settlements preceding the
final one shall be interlocutory only, and may
be impeached at the final settlements, which
latter shall be conclusive, unless reversed or
impeached within two years, for fraud.
Skc. 12. Be it further enacted, That the
court having jurisdiction of the matter shall,
whenever sufficient cause is shown therefor,
direct the sale of any personal property, oth
er than slaves, sequestered under this act, on
such terms as to it shall seem best, and each
sale shall pass tbe title of the person as whose
property the same has been sequestered.
Sec. 13. All settlements of accounts of Re
ceivers for sequestered property shall be re
corded and a copy thereof shall be forwarded
by the clerk of the court to the Treasurer of
the Confederate States within ten days after
the decree, interlocutory or final, has been
passed; and all balances found against the
Receiver shall by him be paid over into the
court, subject to the order of the Treasurer of
the Confederate States,and upon tejhfailure of
the Receiver for five days to pay over tbe
same, execution shall issue therefor, and he
shall be liable to attachment by the court and
to suit upon his bond. And any one embez
zling any money under this act shall be liable
to indictment, and on conviction shall be con
fined at hard labor for not less than six months
nor more than five years, in the discretion of
the court, and fined in double the amount em
bezzled.
Skc. 14. Be it further enacted, Tbat the

tion or confiscation of tbe property of any j
citizen or resident of the Confederate States,
or other person aiding said Confederate States
in tbe present war against the United States,
and tbe finding of such Commissioners in fa
vor of any such claim shall be prime facie
evidence of the correctness of tbe demand,
and whenever Congress shall pass the claim,
the same shall be paid from any money in the
Treasury derived from sequestration under
this act: Provided, That said Board of Com
missioners shall not continue beyond the or
ganization of the Court of Claims, provided
for by the Constitution; to which Court of
Claims the duties herein provided to be dis

the organization of said court. The salaries

corporations ; and in all cases, when corpora
tions become parties, and this law requires an
oath to be made, it shall be made by some of
ficer of such corporation.

and which person is not in actual hostility to
this Confederacy. And any lien or debt claim
ed against any alien enemy, within the mean
ing of this act, shall be propounded and filed in

tration are had, within twelve months from

tration ; and the Court shall cause all proper
parties to be made and notices to be given,
and shall hear and determine the respective
rights of all parties concerned; Provided,
however, that no sales or payments over of
money shall be delayed for, or by reason of
such rights or proceedings; but any money
realized by the Receiver, whether paid into
the Court or Treasury, or still in the Receiv
er’s hands, shall stand in lieu of that which
produced said money, and be held to answer
the demands of the creditors aforesaid, in the
same manner as that which produced such
money was. And all claims not propounded
and filed as aforesaid, within twelve months
as aforesaid, shall cease to exist against the
estate, property or effects sequestrated, or the
proceeds thereof.
