Patriots Who Scent Danger in Representa-
tive Hammond's Tax Resolution.
Washington Special.
What is in many quarters considered a dan
serous demonstration towards the recovery of
onsequential damages by the insurrectionary
states from the North for losses sustained by
the war of the rebellion. was presented in the
resolution offered by Mr.. Hammond to compel
the Secretary of the Treasury to pay the claims of
States which are now withheld as a set-off under
the act of August5 6, 1861. These taxes. amount
ing to $40, 900, 900, were made a lien upon lands
were assessed. The refusal to pay these taxes
in certain portions of the South caused a levy
upon. and sale of. q large amount of personal
property. Under the apportionment the State
of Georgia became indebted to the United States
to the amount of 1854. 367. 33. Of this amount
ance, of $512, 959. SO. Pennsylvania has paid
81. GAG, 1888. and the total sum paid by the
States which have met the demand is about
BIZ, 500, 900 of the $40, 900. 900 due. Now. the
effort is being made to exonerate the States of
Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, North Carolina,
tennessee, Texas and Virginia from the pay
nent of the 50. 900, 900 they still owe the govern
nent, and to secure the refunding of this sum,
bid Indian, railroad and other claims are set up.
The interest account added to the Gums paid by
sHe WhAlug States anouutS W very nearly
b4a, 600. 900.
General Negley, of Pittsburg, in reference to
these claims. says that 1.-The effort to declare the
taxes levied by the general government to sup
port war measures as a political debt due from
individuals only. and not from the several
States, Is the most audacious and revolutionary
proposition undertaken since the acts of seces-
sion, for if the government has no power to i'm
pose a burden on the people for its own defense,
then where is the vested power to seize the
property of individuals who were engaged in
the armed forces of the insurrectionary Statesl
And the country may well ask, if Congress al
lows such a precedent as that sought in this
subtle resolution, what is there to prevent the
collection OF claims amounting to over $500. 600.
