Jervey presented the petition and

they and others paid the direct tax
laid BY Act Of Congress, and pray

This petition shows that tax of
S363,57O was laid upon the State of
South Carolina, being its proportion
of S20,0O0,000 laid on the Unitcd
States, and that the penalty Of fifty
per cent, provided for by subsequent
Acts, created lien on the property
vcsting title in the United States, or
the purchase thereof. 1t is also set
forth, that at the time Of the passage
Of the Act, the authority of the Uni

State, and afterwards, in November,
1861, was re-establishcd ia small
section, and the levy Of the tax was
made as far as possible, and many
est1tes sold at nominal prices, be-
cause the owners could not pay the
taxes that, in 1868, United States
authority was established in Charles

lien was extended. The memorial
