Confiscation.
Os all the humbugs got up by I cr
rnrisis to frighten week people, the
grtitt'si is ibe humbug ut '.be confisea
tioti of the lauds and property of the
people of the Southern States, by the
legislation of the Congress us the I; piled
Slates.
If these Terrorists "intend to say,
that bv mere brute foree, without law
or constitutional authority, the Radicals
will order our property to be seized and
appropriated, and carry out the order
bv the military power rtf the United
States Government, we have nothing
to reply. This may be done, but it
will not be “confiscation* I —it will be
••spoliation.*’ Confiscation is an ah
fair of law. In Rutland formerly it
wrs carried out against political offend •
ers by hills of attainder passed in Par
liament. Hut spoliation is mere robbery
Mid appropriation by brute force. It
pretends to no legal authority. It pro
fesses to have no title, and it gives no
title; and passes property from its
rightful owner so long as the stronger
sword predominates, and no longer. —
‘•Confiscation” is a very different
thing; and our fathers, who had just
come out of a seven years’ war to en
force their rights to their property,
were not ignorant of the importance of
providing the strongest guarantees in
the constitution ol the United States,
against any deprivation of either by
individuals or the Government.
In the sth article of the constitution,
it is provided—“No person shall be
held to answer for a capital or other
wise infamous crime, unlesson pre.
"eminent or indictment of a grand
except in cases arising in the land
or naval forces, or in the militia, when
in actual service in time of war or
public danger ; nor shall any person
In: subject lor the same offence to be
pm in jeopardy of life or limb; nor
shall he compelled, in any criminal
case, to he a witness against himself.
j or me, liberty or prop
erty without due process of law; nor
hliall private property he taken for
public use, without just compensa
tion.”
Our readers will remark, that the
words used iu this article are “no per*
9 m.” These words cover all foreign
ers or sojourners in the land—and all
inhabitants of the Territories as well
as of the States. Hence we see every
day, foreigners tried in our courts with
all the guarantees for justice this clause
contains. In cases involving property,
it is also the same. Now, are the
people of the Souther Slates ‘persons?’
Il so, they have a right to the gauaran
tecs for the preservation and protection
of their persons and property, this ar
ticle contains. The military act just
passed by Congress not only recogniz
es th< m as “persons,” but terms them
“people of States” an J citizens.” All
the constitution of the United States,
however, requires, is, that they shall
he “persons”—whether inhabitants o!
the States or Territories —citizens and
foreigners —entitled to the elective fran
chise or excluded therefrom —they must
be “persons” —that is all.
The Constitution makes one excep
tion to the protection this article con
tains, in the case of treason ; and this
is the crime for with it is said that our
property will be confiscated.
1. It says that “no bill of attainder
or ex post facto law shall be passed.”
The meaning of this prohibition is,
that alter any political offenses or acts
of treason shall be committed, Con
gress can pass no laws to punish them.
Whatever punishment may be incurred
for these offences, must he by laws
passed before the commission of them.
The object of this clause is, to divest
Congress of the power of punishing,
after the fury of the passions have been
awakened, by laws affecting previous
offenses.
2. Another clause ol the constitu
tion prescribes that “The Congress
shall have power to declare the punish
ment of treason, hut no attainder of
treason shall work corruption of blood,
or forfeiture, except during the life of
the person attained.” Here is the
power given to Congress, by a general
law, declaring the punishment of treas
on, before the treason is committed, to
affix as a punishment for treason “a
forfeiture of property,” or “an attainder
of treason”—that is, a conviction for
treason ; but the forfeiture can only
extend to the life of the person convict
ed.
And how this attainder or conviction
of treason is to take place, is also care
fully provided for by the constitution.
It says :
“The trial of all crimes, except in ca
ses of impeachment, shall he bv jury ;
and such trial shall be held in the Slate
wh°re the crimes shall have been com
muted, Treason against the United
States shall consist only of levying war
agaist them, or in adhering to their
enemies, giving them aid and comfort.
No person shall be convicted of treason
unless on the testimony of two witness
es to the same overt act, or on confes
sion in open court. The treason must
he tried before a jury in the State
vtliere the treason is committed, and
conviction must he the result ol this
trial, by the testimony of two witness
es, or on confession in open court.”
Now, under these clauses oi the
Constitution, how can Congress pass
anv laws, declaring a forfeiture or con
fiscation of property generally, hv the
people of the Southern Slates, for any
treason committed by them against the
United States? Anil if they pass any
such laws, must they not be made ap-,
pliraMe to each individual on a trial
for treason before a jury of the State,
in which the treason is committed ?
I) ips any Southern citizen fear a con
viction for treason before such a tribu-
nul ? And if convicted of treason, can
the forfeiture extend beyond the life of
the person couvicied ? We have seen
it stated, but we have not seen the law.
that Congress has provided for the
punishment of treason, and has not in*
eluded forfeiture, as one of its penal
ties.
It may be said in answer to these
questions, that the Congress of tlu
United States will not regard the Con
stitution and the protection it affords.
Very well. They are revolutionists —
they are open wrong doers—they <ienj
us a trial for alleged ( flenses, and level
in the spoils of robbery. In this game
nothing is lost, and nothing is gaine l
but by the sword. When the camp and
the soldier disappears our right to our
property is just as good as before we
were forcibly divested of it. Then we
will only have to appeal to the Con
stitution of the United Stales, and -the
peaceable operation ol the laws, and all
mir properly will be restored to us, as
it is now being restored in Tennessee.
We have only to stand still and bide
our time. It will come, to our triumph,
and the confusion and discomfiture of
our enemies. Let us not fear wrong,
but stand firm tn the maintenance ol
the right.
We are satisfied that under the Con*
siiiutioti of the United States the prop
erty of the Southern people cannot be
made amenable to confiscation—and
we have no feais that it will be made
amenable to spoilation, in contempt of
its preventive sanctions. —Charleston

SAM’L H. SMITH and ROUT. P. MILAM"
Editors and Proprietors.
Cartersvlllc,Cla, March 2 i, 1567.
do wish, from the bottom of our
heart, that we could pick up one item of loca*
interest to our readers. Since our people got
a hint that Thadeus Stevens was going to in
troduce a hill in Congress to confiscate the
land in the South, they have all caved—busi
ness of all kinds, except political speculation,
lias been brought to a dead stand still. We
could submit to the abolition of slavery, the
loss of social and political power, the devasta
tion of our country, the civil and political e
quality of the negro, and to a military despot
ism, yea, even to the disrobing of everv ves
tige of the liberty of freemen, and the loss of
fathers, brothers, chi'drcn and friends, hut oh?
when our pocKet interest is threatened we
shrink hack appalled—our energies all paraly
zed —hopes vanquished- -heart-sick —exclaim-
ing we are ruined ! irrevocably ruined ! !
But a few short wee/rs ago and all was life
and animation here, buying, selling, building
and going ahead generally, but no sooner than
the great bug-bear confiscation is intimated,
than the yell is raised rats to your holes !
Mr. Stevens’ confiscation bill has been intro
duced and laid on the shell to mature until
Congress meets in Decenrber next, during the
interim the Reconstruction of the Southern
States is to he canvassed and decided. If we
would only ponder the truths of divine revela
tion more, and appeal to our fears less, our
troubles would he vastly dissipated, and we
would he a happier and more prosperous peo
ple. Three-fourths of the troubles that dis
tract the people and derange the hutiness of
the country, are anticipated. Wc have trouble
enough that is real without heaping up wrath
against the day wrath. Let us get our con
sent to bear the ills we have and not fly to
those we /mow not of, for sufficient un'o the
day is the evil thereof.
If we would do ’veil ourselves and benefit
our country and those around us, we must
cease repining and murmuring, and go to
work, and in this way inspire the masses with
hope and confidence—business will he revived
and the energies of the people stimulated and
capital and enterprise will be directed to this
country, and the whole machinery of the land
will he put into lively operation, the future will
be less portentious of of evil, and we will feel
more like we were created for some purpose,
But if we still continue to repine and murmur,
we wi 1 lose all our energies and confidence,
the whole business of the country will stag
nate, the people will become indolent and
reckless, and pestilence and famine will pre
vail throughout the land. Look up, gentle
reader, the bright firmament is still above you,
and the orb of day still peeps down upon you.
Heaven is still inviting, and God waiting to
be gracious.

Proposed Loan to tub South. — A

Stevens’ Bill. —“ Are you acquain
ted with the provisions of Stevens’
Bill,” said a gentleman who was a
little anxious about reconstruction to
another not very well posted. “Ac
quainted with Stevens’ Bill,” was the
answer, “certainly I am and a
derned mean nigger he is, too. Don’t
know much about his provisions though
—saw him with a middling of meat the
other day—reckon he stole it. He
won’t suffer, as long as there is any*

— Chattanooga. —Notwithstanding
the immense destruction worked by
the recent flood at Chattanooga, we
learn through the American Union that
the enterprising business men of the
city are all at work again, repairing
damages, and making everything trim
and snug. The paper states that it is
impossible to estimate the amount of
loss at present, but it is immense.
BSfAn editorial notice of the new
bankrupt bill recently published in the
Star, is understood by some to mean
that our opinion of that law is that it
does away with the State stay laws,
imprisonment lor debt, &c. This is
not our understanding of the law. —
What we meant to say is, that the
Bankrupt Law will in a measure do
away with the necessity for local leg
islation lor the relief of the people, for
bv availing themselves of its benefits,
they can completely wipe out their in
debtedness, leaving them a homestead,
and some of the necessaries to com*
mence life anew with.— Star,
Butler’s Canal. —The Dutch Gap
Canal, which originated in the genius
of General Butler, is to be made servi

the City Engineer and the other officers
with him, are satisfied with the practi
cability of completing the canal and ma
king it suitable for the transit of the
large vessels now rnnning on the river.
So the hero ol Fort Fisher has really

M. E. Church South.
The Baltimore ‘Conference VI. E.

vote in fstvor of lay representation and
of changing the church name to Epis*

whole vote on lay representation, and
fifty-three more than one-fourth on the
change of church name. This requi*
red ninety-nine votes to carry the first
and 159 votes to carry the second, un
der the requisition for a three-fourth
majority. The Baltimore Conference
vote one each, 104 yeas, with no nays.
This carries Lay delegation by five
majority in the whole • Church. The

believed that a conference in Illinois

votes enough, if allowed, to overcome
this, and thus carry both measures, af

The Supplement to tile milita
ry mil.
Ti:e following is an abstract of the
bill supplementary to an act eutillcd
“An act to provide for the more efficient
government of the rebel States,” and
to facilitate restoration, which was in
troduced in the U. S. Senate on Wed
nesday last by Senator Wilson, and
referred to the Judiciary Committee.—
Judging from our telegraphic synopsis
of the bill as finally reported and passed
on Monday, it does not materially differ
from Mr. Wilson's draft, though the
6th section was stricken out:
Section one directs the commanding
officer of each district to cause a regis
tration to be made before September 1,
1867, in cash county or parish in his
district, of the male citizens over 21
years of age, resident therein, to in
clude only those qualified to vote by
the act to which this is a supplement,
and who shall take and subscribe the
following oath : “I, , do hereby
solemnly sweat (or affirm) that 1 mn
sincerely and earnestly attached to the
Union and Government of the United
States ; that I will steadfastly support
the Constitution and obey the laws of
the United States, and that I will, tn
the best of my ability, engage all others
to such support and obedience; so
help me, God.”
Section two directs the commanding
general, as soon as the registration is
completed, to cau?e an election for del
egates to a convention to be held on a
day not less than thirty days from date
of proclamation of election, for the
purpose of amending the existing or
framing anew constitution, of firmly
establishing loyal civil governments,
and passing needful ordinances to put
the same into operation.
Section three directs that the said con
ventions shall be called on the basis
of representation on which the number
of members ol Congress is apportioned.
Section four provides for the ap
pointment by the commanding general
of officers or persons to make the reg
istration, preside at the elections, re.
ceive, sort, and count the votes, and
make return thereof and of the persons
elected, and he shall then make procla
mation of the persons elected, and no
tify within sixty days when and where
they shall assemble to organize the
convention ; and when the said con
vention shall have amended the exist
ing or framed anew constitution in
accordance with the act <o which this
is a supplement, it shall be submitted
to tl • people at an e!e tion to be held
after the expiration of thirty days from
notice thereof given by the convert ion.
Section five provides that if the said
constitution is ratified by a majority of
the votes cast, the President of the
Convention shall transmit the same to
the President of the United States,
who shall transmit it to Congress, if
in session, and if not in session, then
upon its next assembling; and if it be
declared by Congress to be in confor
mity with the provisions of the act re
cently passed by Congress, known as
the Military bill, the State shall be de
clared as entitled to representation, and
Senators and Representatives shall be
admitted as provided in said act.
Section six provides that the duties
and powers delegated and conferred
upon the commanding general may,
with his consent, be transferred to the
acting Governor of the State, upon his
taking an oath faithfully to perform and
execute the same.
Non Interference by the PresJ
ident.
The telegraph has ii: formed us that
Gen. Schofield, commander of the first
Military District, had forbidden the
holding ol municipal election in Fred
ericksburgh, Va., and directed that the
old officers hold over. During the last
week the Common Council of that city
selected the Major to go to Washing"
ton and ascertain from President John
son whether, in the approaching mu
nicipal election, the right to vote, and
the qualification of voters, were to be as
provided bj’ the character and the! ex
isting laws ot Virginia, or by the Sher r
man Bill, The News says the Mayor
proceeded to Washington and had an
interview with the President and At
torney-General who declined to express
an opinion, and stated that all matters
pertaining to Virgenia affairs should be
referred to General Schofield. It is ev
ident that the President has determin
ed to allow the military to execute the
law to the letter, as they may construe
it. Atlanta Opinion.
The National Intelligencer,'of the
12th, has the following paragraph :
Reconstruction in Sight. —A sig**
nificant acknowledgement was made
yesterday, even by so determined an
ultraist as Mr Boutwell, of Massachus
setts, which ought not to escape the at
tention of the South. Replying to Mr.
Bingham’s reminder that the constitu
tions adopted by the Southern people
would sitll have to come before Con
gress for acceptance, he declared that
“Congress would be under the irresis
tible pressure to except any constitu
tion so adopted as the work of the peo
ple of the State.” This was urged by
Mr. Boutwell as a reason for having the
preliminaries so arranged that no need
less question should be raised in Con
gress subsequently about the admission
ol a State.
Mr. Sherman introduced a join!
resolution, removing the disability from
holding office from Joseph E. Brown,
of Georgia, and R. M. Patton, ol Ala
bama. It was referred to the Judiciary

Mr. Stevens called up the confisca
tion bill, and proceeded to read his
speech. He soon broke down, and the
Clerk finished its reading. The fur
ther consideration of the bill was post
ooned until the second Tuesday of
December.
The House then went into Commit
tee of the Whole on the million relief
bill.
Mr. Butler offered his amendment,
as a substitute, that all owning a hun
dred and sixty acres, or enjoying an
income of over six hundred dollars, be
taxed by the General for the support
of the poor. The committee rose,
after a long debate, witout action.
The supplemental bill as reported by
the committee of conference passed,
and goes to the President. House
adjourned.
In the Senate the joint resolution
suspending the payment for enlisted
slaves was postponed.
The credentials of Senator Thomas,
of Marylend, were referred to the Jud“
diciarv Committee.
The bill excluding from either House
persons tainted with rebellion, was
referred to the Judiciary Committee.
The conference committee reported
the supplemental hill. A majority of
voters will be sufficient to ratify the
Constitution, provided a majority of
the registered voters vote, with the
additional clause that Congress must
be satisfied that registered voters have
unrestrained liberty to vote, and that
the Constitution meets the approval of
a majority ol the qualified voter* of the
State.
The bill passed, and after Executive
session the Senate adjoured.
Probable Adjournment of Con
