your Committee* to whom wag referred
the^subjeet Of Wg lekve- to report
the following: .
u Whereas By the late disastrous war the
S le of Georgia have lost over four him-
milllon dollars of taxable property,
also a vast depreciation of real estate, and
the total loss of four years’ labor, thereby
throwing into hopeless confusion ttieequi
table relations of debtor and creditor: and
Whereas, The indebtedness of the State
to her citizens has been repudiated, and her
most solemn contracts violated, and sanc
tioned and sustained by her ablest jurists,
thereby leaving the people to bear as best
£Hey can the increased Durdens thus im
posed; anfl :
. Whereas, The low price of cotton, the
scarcity of money, the unsettled condition
of the political affairs of the State, and the
derangement and inefficiency of labor,
render it impossible for the debtor to make
even partial payment; and
Whereas, To undertake to force the pay
ment of indebtedness would only result in
bankruptcy and utter ruin of the great
masses, and concentrating into the hands
of a few the little remaining trotn ruthless
war: and
Whereas, All, or nearly all, the indebted
ness was based^either directly'Or indirectly
upon the property thus destroyed or de
preciated, while the amount of indebted
ness is held unditninished; therefore,
Wc, the people of Georgia, in Conven
tion assembled, do solemnly ordain that,
from and after the passage of this ordi
nance, no court in this State shall have
jurisdiction at any time to hear or
determine, or render judgment against
any citizen of this State, upon any
contract or judgment^made or entered into,
or for any tort or injury committed prior
to the first day of .June, 1865; nor shall
any court or ministerial officer of this
State ever have jurisdiction to enforce any
judgment or execution rendered or issued
upon any contract or agreement, or for any
tort or injury committed prior to said first

RErORTOE THE SUNORITYOFTHK COMUIl'lU
OX RELIEF. '■
The undersigned, memliers of the Com
mittee on Belief, re spectfully present some
of their reasons for disagreeing to the re
port of the majority, and certain resolu
tions which they recommend to the adop
tion of the Convention :
The majority propose, both by ordinance
and by a provision in the Constitution, to
deny to courts and officers all power to
collect debts originating prior to June],
1865; that is, in effect, to abolish all such
debts.
No exception is made, even in favor o
the most helpless and dependent classes, or
against those who still hold valuable prop
erty for which they owe. Widows and or
phans, whose property went before that
date into the hands of faithless trustees,
vvUl.be left friendless and without remedy
by this merciless enactment.
The instincts of justice and humanity
which impel us to protest against it are in
strict harmony with the principles of the
supreme law of the land.
Without discussing the question whether
the proposed measures can be reached by
the courts so as to be set aside as unconsti
tutional. we content ourselves with saying
that one ot the most important provisions
in the Constitution of the United States
will become utterly worthless if such at
tempts as tlii-s can succeed. When our
fathers ordained in that sacred instrument,
that no .State should pass laws impairing
the obligation of contracts, they meant
that no State should prevent a creditor
from getting his dues; and it this is done
by withholding jurisdiction from court* or
in any other way. the spirit, if not the let
ter of the Constitution is vio ated. and one.
of the ma n purposes for which the Consti
tution was made is defeated.
We can he parties to no contrivance,
however skillful, for evading the Constitu
tion of our country. We wish to return to
tiie Union, from which Georgia unwisely
tried to sever herself, with unfaltering
loyalty to the principle.- on which t ie
Union rests. The best atonement which
our State can make for her past alierrations
is an increased alacrity in performing
everything that the Constitution com
mands, und an increased carefulness to ab
stain from everything that the Constitu
tion forbids, in letter or spirit. Rebellion
against the principles of the Constitution
is moral) j r as criminal as rebellion against
the Govemmeiit which the Constition cre
ates.

gared if their iniquitous schemes
The affirmation, in the third
majority’s report, that “It is ioapossihla lor
the debtor to make even partial payment,”
is disproved by tikis very effort to relievo
him from paying. Why undertbk® to pre
vent impossibilities ? No law on. earth can
collect what a debtor cannot pay. Perhaps
the majority simply mean that it is incon
venient for the debtor to nay. Tbis we aid*
mil. But when the legislature of the State
was controlled by the classes to which most
of the present friends of-‘Relief ’ belong,
they solemnly enacted that all Of an insole
vent’s property, except a moderate exemp
tion, should be sold to pay his debt; They
cannot complain if the law metes but to
themselves with the same measure. If the
present exemption was enough when the
standard of wealth was high, it is sorely
enough when the standard js low. We do
not oppose a reasonable enlargement of it
as to future debts. But let the debts of the
past be settled on the principles that con*
trolled in the past. The argument that
forced sales at present prices will not bring
enough to benefit the creditor is sufficient
ly answered by the consideration that in
all such cases the creditor will have no in
ducement to bring the property to sale, and,
of his own acposd wilj wait’ till better
times. .
The majority cite the ordinances of the
Convention of 1865. repudiating the state
war debt as a reason and a precedent for
the.action now proposed. It is remarka
ble that the action of a body which the
call for this Convention assumes to have
been unauthorized, should be expected to
influence ours.
But supposing that Convention to have
been legal, there is nothing to warrant the
inferences which the majority draw from
its action. If the tax paying debtors of
the State have been relieved .from their part
of a olihlic debt, tltey are so much the
abler to pay their private debts. The prin
ciple Of the ordinance of 1865 was one well
established at common law. that debts con
tracted for an illegal purpose, such as to
aid in resisting a lawful government, are
void. We cannot see how the repudiation
of an unlawful debt can justify the repudi
ation of debts made in the ordinary and
lawful course of business.
We also object to fhe proposed action be
cause it leaves to a noil-resident creditor,
whose claim is large enough f° r juris
diction of the Federal Courts, advantage*
over creditors who reside in Georgia. A
creditor to whom those Courts ard open
will collect his debts in spite of our ordi
nances and the prohibitions in our Consti
tution. While willing, that citizens of
other States should enjoy equal rights with
ourselves, we art' not capable of that ro-
mantic generosity which would accord
them privUeg -s that are denied to our own
people. It bus been said that ordlnary
rules are not nppliculde to tlie present
question because a large amount of prop
erty has been lost by tlie action of tlie
government. We cannot see why x de
struction ot property bv public authority
should affect tin* legal relations of debtor
and creditor- any more than Fsd- struction
by private person.- or by usual Providen
tial cutises. . ... , _ ....

P Tlfe reasons for Relief, stated in ti e pre
amble of the proposed ordinance, are au
iSlv able into this; that debtors are poorer
than when their debts were made. At isii
new and inadmissablc doctrine that men,
still able to pay their debts, ■hould be. re
leased from them because their tojtunea
have been diminished since the deWa’were-
contracted. If so strange a principle
should be recognized at all, reciprocal jus
tice would require that the debto should
tie enlarged where the debtor s fortune hM
been increased—a proposition too ridicu
lous to be seriously considered.
It should be remembered that the same
public calamities which have reduced the
estates of the debtors have
the estates of creditors, so that, relatively
to each other, the two classes stand as they
did before their common misfortunes. The
same causes which make it hard for debtors
to plv make it equally hard for creditors
to do'without thmr money. If there must

should come by taking from debtors what
