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.

start the seretions of tihe liver, and
give a halh tone to thoentr

imdia science to haIve found a

compilaint, wI'ch accomplishes all
the results heretoforo p)roduIced by
a frooe use of calomel, a mineral
justly dreaded b)y manLfkinld, and
acknowledged to be destructive in
the extreme to the human system.
That the p)roporties of certain v'ego-.

dered indisputable by scientific tests.

These Pills open the bowels and
