Representatives it will he proper, according to
tho present law of tho United States, that this
State shall elect to tho Congress of tho United
States ; and that tho Ciunnitteo shall also report
on a soluble construction of the Congressional
Districts, nccoiding to Representatives
allowed us.
Mr. Duncan also offered tho following, which
was referred to the Cominitteo on the Judiciary
:
Whereas a largo proportion of tho Pxcentors,
Administrators, tlusrdians nnd other
fiduciary agents, appointed in this State prior
to nnd during tho Into rebellion, oithcr actu
ally did or fraudulently pretended to have invested
the funds and estates of thiir cestui y*
Irunlt in the securities of tho rebel States, created
for tho purpose of carrying on war against ]
the United States.
And whereas investments made in such securities
in aid of the said rebellion, was not
only trenson against tho United States, but
when made by Trustees and other fiduciary
agents, n fraud upon tlio rights of the pcraons
whom they were appointed to represent, and
who were legally Incompetent to protect their
own interests ; be it therefore
That all investments of the fund*
and estates of infants, married women, idiots,
lunatics and otlicr rc?hii ?/?e trial*, in Ido securities
of tho late rebel government, or in the
securities of any one of tho rclud States, created
for the purpose of carrying on war against
the United States, by executors, administrators,
gunrdiaus, masters and commissioner* in
equity, trustees ami other judiciary agents,
ore, and shall fori vcr hereafter, lie held to be
absolutely nnll ar.d void, and no plea or pretence
of sny such invest mi nts shall avail ill
nny court of law or cqui'y In this i'tale to bnr
or hinder any eettui <\ur frunt from recovering
his, her or their estate in lawful money of the
United States of America.
Uc'lctd, That it he referred to the Committee
on tho Judiciary, to drnft a provision
to this effect, to ho inserted in the Constitution
to be framed by this Convention.
Investments in Confederate Bonds.

been in<r(i(luecd into the Convention to declare
all trusters nud all persons as liable
to make good the whole amount of all
funds which they may have invested in
Confederate Bond*. This 1* just tin? opposite
of a relief meil'iirc, and will, if nfo?-ce.l?
most efTlectually aval the bankruptcy of the
people of iliia Slate, it is n departure from
the spirit of liberality showu in other pro
positions, and look* like closa legi ia'iun.
Those who wnoM j uniah trti?tees, guardians,
etc., for inv? stl.ig in Confederate sccuritie*,
nouhl to renietnber that, thev were
not responsible for the condition of thing*
existing dtrfng th-* war and since. They
were, in a manner, coh*ci ipted, forced to the
necessity ol investing in something, and the
investments in one security or k:nd of
propel tv was a> out as sn'e a? the othrr. all
Ik irg for the time, dependent on the chances
of revolution, and the ultimate so'tletncnt of
the question involved.
Fupposo they had Invested In slave property,
*s was tho custom often before tho war?
or in Bnnk Stocks, or in bonds of individuals
whoso solvency depended on the possession of
such property: such we say would have been
tho ordinary investments in a time of peace.
These nil hnvo utterly failed, and Bank Stock
investments have pr*>TCd even worse than
Confederate Bonds.
It kioks as if the mover intended tho proposed
absolute nullification of investments
whether done in good faith or not, at a pun.

fair to select an unfortunate class of men, who,
in most instances, hud been prevailed on l<y
appeals to their kindness, to manage the estates
of others, to make examples of. Btteb
investments were made by men of nil shades of
politics in litis St.tie, by those who opposed

Abbeville and Ootton.
Wo were title week on a visit to one o
the neighborhood* noar Now Market. in<!
were pleased to leant that a very considerable
portion of the cotlon belonging l?
ihe planters remains unsold, as we hope it.he
care In the Slate gpnerally, ao that tliej
may realize the benefit of the j resent improvttl
prices. The plardo~s are acting
wisely in sending their croivt generally to
Oha-lo*lon by rail-road, where they may,
with less expense than hauling to Augusta,
obtain hotter prices. The roads to market
are now becoming almost impassable, and
rail-road freights are moderate and reasonable.
It is Ihe present intention of planters in
Abbeville grpnlly to diminish their cotton
plnnt'ng, ami to cullivato more lnnd in
grain. This ought nlwaye to bo the rule.

belonging to Mr. J. llrrrs flu rr.it, who
