A Novel Theory.

State Senator GeneraD NJ. G..
Gary, of South Carolina, oppos-
ing the payment of the War
Bonds, says: IN 1861 South
Carolina seeded from the Unit
ed States. Our theory was that
we had a right to secede the
theory of those who opposed
secession was that we had no
right to secede, but that once in
the Union always in the Union.
The General Government passed
an act TO reconstruct the South
ern States. The theory was that
the sovereignty of South Caro-
lima had been destroyed by war.
If the sovereignty of South Caro-
lima had been destroyed by war,
It's debts were biotted ont. Every
lawyer who understands the law
of corporations knows this. A
convention OF the people Of this
State met and formed a new con-
otitution, and Sou,h Carolina
was again admit d. If the
sovereignty Of South Carolina
was destroyed, and every one adj
mits this, then the State does not
owe one dollar OF heraute bellum
debts. South Carolina was an
Independent State, a part of the
Confederate States, and Was con
quered as a part OF the Confed-
,racy. Now, if the Confederate
debts were whipped out by the
war, were not the debts of South
Carolina also wiped out? 1t Is
expecting too much of the PEG.
pie of South Carolina, after sui
fering all the horrors Of war
after being robbed and dragged
into the dust, for them now t
come forward and pay the fraud
uIent debts"
We hold the same opinion
with Gary as to the effect OF kill
ing these debts if the State reall,
was out of the Union. But b,
Judge Clark's decision the Stat
was never out of the Union. |
then follows that all acts OF re
construction were null and voiC
