CONSTRUCTORS JEWEL!
The recent proceedings Of the Legislature OF
South Carolina, compared with the proceedings
Of the same State, . few years since, on u sub.
;ect involving the conssitutionality OF National
Rank furnish . most remarkable evidence o.
;ocoosistency In tho words Of the Columbia
Tele.cooe. il constitutes . notable example Of
s4the Inconsistency into which, people are some
times led, by speaking their sentiments before
thew have made up their minds"
In the Legislature OF South Carolina MIR. CAL
uorSs Ssate) on the llth December. 1881, the fol-
lowing proceedings were had in the House OF Rep
resen tativcs:
The special committee, to whom were referred
The resolution from the several States OF Pennsy!-
vaoia, Ohio, New Jersey, Vermont and Illinois,
beo leave to REroRr: That they have had the
same under consideration, and IND, That the
State Of Pennsy ivana by its resolution, has pro
posed an amendment of the constitution IN the
words following, to wit: That "Congrss sna'i
make no law to erect 81 incorporate any bank or
moncyed institution, except within the District OF
Columbia in which that State requests the
concurrence of her sister States. That the states
Of Ohio and Illinois have concurred with Pcnnsy'-
wanna in the proposed amendment; and that the
States of New Jersey and Vermont have disa-
creed thereto Your Committee are luminous
Is Of opinion that as CONGRESS IS CONSI ~
'TJIriONALY VESTED WITH THE RIGHT
TO INCORPORATE A BANK, it would be UNI
wise and impolitic to RESTRICT ITS operations,
within such narrow limits as the Dctrict OF y ,
lumbi, They app7chend danger from the
exercise of the pow rs which the People of,no U.
S. have confided to Congress; but believe that In
the exercise of these powers, that body Will rem
| der them subscrvient to the great purposes OF
oar national compact. Your Committee there
fore beg leave recommend to this house the fol-
lowing resolutions
- sl.o \ S1,e,, Of
/ South Carolina do not concur IN the amendment
of tho Constitution of the U. s. proposed by Penn
sylvania in the fullowin words: "Corgress shall
make no law to erect OF incorporate any DanH or
other monied institution, except within the DIS
trict Of Columbia; and every bank and monied
institution which shall hc established by the a''-
thoriy of Congress. shall together with its branches
and offices of discount and dcposite, be conhncd
! to the District of Columbia"
! Rcsolrcd That the House do agree to the re-
port.
Ordered, That it be sent to the Senate for con-
curren:c. By order OF the House,
| R. ANDERSON c. II. X.
In THE SENATE, Dec. II, 1881.
Resoyrcd That this house do concur with the
House Of Representatives in the foregoing report
! Ordered, That the report be returned to the
House Of Representative. By order ofthc SEN
ate,
In the Legislature OF South Carolina (Mr. Cal
houn': statc) on the 10Th If December, 1887, the
following proceedings wore had in the House OF
Rcpresentatis es:
The special order was called at twelve o.
clock.
Mr. Mcmmncer advocated the Divorce in a.
able answer to the arguments Of Mr.. a. Ii. Thomi,-
son in favor, and Mr.. }. W. Toomer in opposition.
The House then proceeded 10 vote. All amend
mcnts were rejected, and the question was taken
upon the Resolutions themselves. On the first
resolution
Rcsolrcd, that in the opinion of this Lcgisla-
ture it is cxpedent that the Revenues OF the
Federal Government be 80 collected, as ultimate
" to sever the Government from all connection
with the Banks.
The vote stood yeas lO3, nays IL. The Sec
ond resolution in the following words
Resolred, That in the opinion Of this Legsla
turc il is expedicnt that the Revenues Of the
Federal Government should be 50 deposited, kept
and disbursed, not to be connected with. o;
used ia Banking operations. Passed by a vote Of
ll2to2.
The third resolution in these words
Resolred, That it would be unconstitutional, in-
crpcdicne and dangerous to incorporate a natioa-
al Bank.
Was decided in the affirmative, yeas 81; nays
l6.
Thus it will be seen that the legislature Of Mr..
State in 1921, was unanimously ofo-
DlniOn mat ''OOnpTCSS IS COuStItutIuu w ScStcu
with the right to incorporate n bank; and that 1t
would be unwse and impotic 10 restrict its ope
rations within such narrow limits the District
Of Columbia While in 1887, the Legislature of
This same State (s,ll Mr.. CALHorS's) declares by
vote little less than unanimous that it would be .
incxpcdicnt and dangerous to in
corporate National Bank
We have not a word to say just now on the OK
,ediency Of Incorporating National bank. We
ire speaking of the consistency of South Caro-
ina-then as now under the controlling influence
of JouN C. CALHOUN. A more glariny instance
If the .inexpcdiency' Of speaking their sentiments
,efore people have made up their minds is prob
.by not record.
