ANAfTE AItGUMINTY BY IL
A. GAILLAlUD, ESQ.
He Upholds the ConsoidMWon Adb au
Accopted by the Democratii Party
as Binding in Law.
From tle News aul Curier.
The subject of debate in the
Housie being the report of the bond
commission, section third, advocat
ing the repudiation of bonds ex
changed for fraudulently detached
Coupons, was rold.,
Mr. G.tillard, of Fairfield, took the
floor in favor of striking out the sec
tion, and for over an hour held the
attention of the House, while lie de
.livered what was really a nasterly
effort. He started out by stating
that there wore grounds whicl
should influence every member oi
the House to strike out not only
the section under discussion, bul
every soction in the resolution. H
would, ho said, cast not one word of
reflection upon the commission. Th<
House had imposed upon them c
responsibility which they had dis
charged faithfully and ably in all
respects, Having thus discharged
their duty, lie saw no reason wh3
the commission itself should not
vote to sustain the Consolidatior
Act as a finality, if that course -waf
satisfactorily showed to be the only
safe and honorable adjustment ol
the debt. They were not invested
with any plenary power& to doter
inine what portion of thl debt
should be paid, and what rejected 1
but simply to report the facts ak
they found them, and leave the do
cision of the matter to the General
Assembly. Mr, Gaillard then went
on to show that it was to discovet
the truth, or falsity, of the rumore
then afloat concerning the iseiuing
of duplicate ail f -ged bonds by
the Republ o 'ials, that the
commission h been, appointed,
together Oith an investigation intc
what bonds were atithorized to bE
issued under the Con'solidation Act
itself. The commission having
discharged its duty in these respects,
the report which they had presented
to the General Assembly showed, in
substance and essence, that the
Consolidation Act had been full)
complied with. Having thus touched
upon the preliminary facts connect
ed with the great subject before
him, Mr Gaillard went on to sho
that tbo House should
ABIDE BY TWE coNsoLInATION AT
for the following reasons, each o
which lie elaborately illustrited and
argued : 1irpt, because it -was i
compromise with croditors at fifty
cents on tho dollar of conflicting,
doftbtful and frauduilent claimna
against the State of South Carolida
The very essence and spirit of sunl
a compre-mise, and the only induce
ment that could have effected ar
agreement with the creditors, wam
that it should be0 final and bona /&de
If there had beeni no suspicion o:
frau'd and irregularity oiv the ona
sides and no understanding~of a final
and honorable settlemen~t on the
other, there could have been nc
compromise. The people of Soutl
Carolina were rejoiced at, the set
tlement. daily press' spoke oun
almost iu Inusy in terms 0;
satisfaction, and the cr'editors cama
forward and eurrendered fifty pea
cent. of their claims, upon the dis
tinct understanding that they
would be made secure of the e he:
h df. It was folly to- talk of strik
ing out this or that, section, when
the peopvle of South Carolina were
B OUND BY EvERY TIE
moral, legal equitale, to strand by
that Consolidation Act as a fina:
settlement and a final and henorabh
agreement betweet herself and
her creditors. Becondly, The
IHouse should abide by the settle
meet of the act becmtse it was con
esummated by the competent au
thority ol the State at that timei
because the compromise was effoet
ed- by the sovereignty of Soutta
Carolina and was announced to the
world by her best people as a Anal
settlement of her debts. It would
not do to say that the act was passe
ecn by tbose who~ wore not the rep
regentatives of thet people,. and such
wVas-not. the principleaupon~ which
the Hone should approach a mnat
ter fraughbt withysongeh of thE
weal oX'woo ofu~South.y Carolina.
They who passed thle act weroinvest,
b with fttllande absolutes powver to
ooinnmate It; and jnat as the nniO
ple had lived under the constitution
framed by them, adld just as they
had, year after year, obeyed the
laws passed by tho, so were they
equally bound to abide by the sOt.
tlement of the State debt, a settle
molt concurred in by the whole
people, and hailed by them as their
salvation at a time when the burdeu
of taxation was too heavy to carry.
He then went on to show that even
if the settlement had not, been
agreed to and adquiesced ini by the
people at the time, yet the people
ihad since that tine accepted it as a
I finality, and lad ratified it, year
after year. They had done more
than this. They had pledged them
selves in the Taxpayers' Conv'ention
of 1871, by resolution, to abide by
the debt as they reported it, which
was within $20,000 of the amount
adjusted under the Consolidation
Act. Tho Democratic E xecutive
Committee in 1870
MAD PLEDGED THE PARTY
and the people to stand by the act,,
good government had been restored
inainly through the influence exert
ed by that pledge atpon the capital of
the conutry. Still more when the
fight had been won at the ballot box
and the true soils of Carolina had
been thrust from their legislative
balls by Federal bayonets, the Wal
Wlae House, the true representatives.
of Carolina, to whom the State
could never pay too much honor,
had pledged themselves, with but
one exception, to accept the debt a.
adjusted under the Consolidation
Act as final. On these sepa
rate and distinct occasions,
and under circiimstnces well,
known to the world, the best peo
ple of South Carolitia had pledged
their faith, their good name and
their unstained honor to stand by
the Consolidation Act, and any'
repudiation of the debt as adjusted
under it would not be merely the
repudiation of a moneyed obligation
but a -epudiationh of the best muen of
'the State and the fair name and
honor of the State. He was
thoroughly conviticed that the mem
bers who differed with him were
actuated by the highest motiv's, but,
he warn'ed them that by their act.
they placed a stain upon the fair
name of the State that a century
would not wipe away. Havinge
dwelt at length upon this point, and
having earnestly Irayed the mem
bms to cotidor we ll the step they
were about to take, the speaker
alluded to the fact that some of the
members had stated that the people
demanded to be relieved of a portion
of the debt. lie stated that he
could not believe that the people
were in favor of
SAORIFICING TILE OOO NAME
of the State for a few palitry doflars;
butt even if they were, he would
vote to stand by the act jitst the
same as if every man in the State
demanded its confirmatiom. He
then passed to the legal aspect of
I the case, and shwed by merous
aiuthorities that the ~esolidated
debt could not be evaded, and that
even if the House adop~ted the re
port of the commissioni they only
entailed the lasting stains of repu
diation,- threwv the fitnances of the'
State into intermina~ble con fusimon,
rnd gained nothing in the eird.
The creditors when they had con
sented to the co)1Ipromise Iel so
framed the terms of the act a# to
secure themeelves absolutely from
b eing defraudled in the future, and it.
I was vain to hope, if they so desired,.

heard with markied attention.
