IA DECISION AGAINST THE coNFrscATfoN
AcT.-1he following important points have been
decided by the Kentucky Court of Appeals in
the case Of Morris vs.. Denpleton, which came
before the court under the act of Congress pro-
vidng for the confsca,lon of the property of cer-
tain classes of persons in rebellion-Judge Bull
lit delivering the opinion:
The right given by the constitution, to make
war upon rebels, gives the power to perform acts
of war, and no other power whatever.
The seizure and confscation of enemy's pro-
perty on land are not acts Of war. Drown VS..
United States; 8 Cranch.)
The act under consideration is unconstitu-
tioaal, because it attempts to authorize the con-
fscation of the property of citizens, as punish
nent fpr treason and other crimes. without due
process Of law BY proceedings in rem in any dis
lfscs il which the property may be; without pre-

over one hundred of these nlalefactors have been
shot or otherwise disposed of by military corps

larger number in Caleasieu and Aveyelles. The
results are that quiet is partly restored in quar-
