A Bin in Congross to Rolimburso the Coast Planters for i'roporty \Vrong fully Takon from Them During the War ~Tho Action of Congrossman Aiken and Senator Butler. The Waslington correspondent of the Charleston Aevs and Coro er, writing under dato of April 2, says: On the 22i1 of Novemnb or last Mr. Hunter, of Virginia, introdue ed "A bill for the relief of owners and purchasers of land sold for diroct taxes in the insurrectionary States." Possibly a little explanation is necessary just here. On the 5th of August, 1861., Con gross passed anl act to provido in creased revenuo from imports to pay interest upon the )u)lic debt and for other purposos, and levied a direct tax of 820,000,000 per annum to be apportioned among the soveral States and Territories of the United States, including the District of Columbia, and each State and Territory being advised of its pro rata, it was allowed to collect that aml)aotuit. The States that were in rebellion and could not be reached at the time were advised tliatt tihe levy would bo colleted ats soon11 as the United States Government as:,ulned or recovered control of thc sante. Under the provisions of this act commissioners wore appointed, who proceeded at the earliest practicable moment to institute the levy and collect the tax, and wherover lands were deserted or aban''oned by their former owners they were at Olc seized upon by the govern 1m01nt, through those Colllissioners, and sold to the highest bidder, the government. howevor, requiting that all lands that did not bring ten dollars per acre should be bid in by the commissioner and hold ats property belonging to the govern nent. In many instances tho sales of the lands were so excessive that the amounts received were vastly in excess of the levy. The entire amount demanded of Virginia, South Carolina, Florida and Teniiessee amounlted to only about $690,000, and yet the sales of the lands of our seacoast, the only portion of the State at that time within the reaehl of the government, amounted to $370,000, or more than half of the entire amount de lmanded of these four States. Thousands of acres of this land that worO bought in by the govern ment at or below $10 per acre were by order of Congress subsequently sold to freedmen at the old govern ment price of territorial lands, to wvit, $1.25 p or acre. Congrossional legislation, however, fromm timle to time amll owed the or.igi nal owners1 to come forwvard in propriaerCsonat, (and not othlerwise) and redeem these lands by paying the taxes. In South Carolina thousanids could not, would not, and never did, conmo forwvard and redeem their lands. In the other States many original owners did do so, after thier lands had b)een sold1 as government prop erty to freodmen. The question thien arose, whlose prioperty was it? The freedmen hmad bought the lands under the law ; the original ownerl under the subsequent or prior law had come forward and claimed his property by complying wvith the lmaw. Then who wore to be tile final owners ? The States of Arkansas, Tennes see and Virginia have rcolaimed over $100,000 worth of their land1s, by tile owners appearing, in person), paying thme taxes, and getting pos session of their property. South Carolina to date has reclaimed little or nothing. Last week M1r. Aikon introditcod a resolution authlorizinIg and1 in structing the judiciary committee to inquire into this matter, and em powering them to send for persons and papers, in order that the wh'Iole matter might be laid intelligently before Congress. It is pe~rhaps but justice to say that General Butler thought p)olicy suggested the in troduction of this resolution first in the House, because of its Demo cratic majority. Otherwise, he would have made the same mfove in the Senate. When it was in troduced ini the House, Conger, the whining creature that objects to everything that hints at justice to the South. interposed his objontion to that portion of the resolution authorizing the judiciary committee to send for persons and papors. I m.-y as woll sy, en passant, that if this authority had been granted that committee, we would have revealed heforo thUm a mass of informlation exposing the cor ruption of the Radical ref/in equal to anything, perhaps, that the investigating comilhttee of your Legislature has brought to light. :l;t the Rads wore too sharp to allow any such thing to bo ef'ected. The introduction, however, of that resolution has hastened the action of tho judiciary committee, and to-day they instructe( their chairman, Mr. Knott, to report favorably upon Mr. lnter's bill, which will 1)o don as soull as the committee is called, which will be probably before the end of the Week. I have askel for and received from Mr. Knott this P. M. a copy of his report. It recites the line of Congressional legislation from 1861 to 1877 upon this subject, and closes by an assertion that the United States is now holding and has leprived our citizens of over 8300,000 of their money, which should at once be paid to its legal owners, which simply mean1s thit it should be paid to the former own~ ors of that now desolate but once beaut,iful section of our State. I soo but one objection to his report., and that is that wherever there is ia conflict as to title, the amoint being agreed 111)on, tho mloney shall be paid into tho hands of a receiver, to 1)o by him invested at interest for the hnefit of the party to whom the courts shall award the ownership. In my judgment the commissions to be paid t1: roceiver will amount to more than the interest, andi possibly he may malo an ulprofitablo ii vestiment. I would much prefer the government should retain this money in the treasury until the courts (leile to wlhomt it belongs, and then let it 1)0 paid over direct. If a contest should occur as to proprietorship, I imagine it would consumo but little time now bofore the judiciary which we have to settle this (u1OStion. I so told lr. Knott. He replied: "Well, my ro, port requires the consent of both parties, otherwise the receiver will not be appointed." Could I for a moment believe this foreboded a partial remunera tion to our coast farmers. I would feel compensated for the ordeal through which they have p1assod. For history has never recorded, and will perhaps never record instances of purer patriotic endurance ind fortitutdo thanl have been manifested by theso devoted South Carolinians. God grant that the roliof may coie, and conic quickly, to all of them.
