TUB CONFISCATION AND SEQtTESTm TION ACTS OF TIIK COSFKDBUATE T A T.K .'j... OPI2liON OP CHIEF JUSTICE CHASE. . : I . ' ' BUOBTKTDGE el al V8. MACON., Thi is an action for the recovery of the amount of a promissory note for interest There is no question of the liability of the defendant to the demand of the plain tifft, unless 1 he is excused bj coerced pay ment of the note sued upon under an act of the self-styled Confederate Congress, passed August UOth, 1861, entitled " an act for the sequestration of the estate of alien enemies," and an amendatory act passed February 15th, 18G2. , : It is admitted that the plaintius were cit izens of Pennsylvania ; that the defendant was a citizen of North Carolina; that the noto sued upon was made by the defendant to the plaiotiils ; and that the defendant was compelled, by proceedings instituted in the Courts of the so-called Confederate niaies, to pay ine amount due upon it to the receiver appointed under the Seques tration acts. - : . Upon these facts it is insisted that the defendant is discharged from his liability to Ufa plaintiff. It is claimed that, while ic exisieu, ine uonieaerate government was .a do facto government ; that the citizens of the (States which did not recognize its an- a.ji. i i 2 a: ' . muni were uieus, buu m ume oi war, alien enemies ; that, consequently, the acts of sequestration were valid acts: and, there fore, that payment to a Confederate agent of debts due to such citizens, if compelled by proceedings under those acts, relieved .the dobtor from all obligations to the origi nal creditors. ' ; 'j - To maintain these propositions the conn ed for the defendant rely upon the deci sions of the Supreme Court of the United States to the effect that the late rebellion was a civil war, in the prosecution of which belligerent rights were exercised by the National government and accorded to the . armed forces of the rebel Confederacy; and upon tho decisions of the State Courts, du ring and after the close of the American war for independence, which affirmed the validity of confiscations and sequestrations decreed against the property of non-resident British subjects and the inhabitants of Colonies or States hostile to the United Colonies or United States. . But these decisions do not, in our judg ment, sustain the propositions in support of which they are cited. ! There is no doubt that the State of North Carolina, by the acts of the Convention of May, 1801; by the previous acta of the Gov ernor of the State; by subsequent acts of all the departments of the State government; and by the acts of the people at the elections held after May, 1861, set aside her State government and Constitution, connected, under the National Constitution with the government oi tne umted States; and es tablished a new Constitution and govern ment connected with another, so-called cen- ' tral government, set up in hostility to the United States; and entered upon a course ; of active warfare against the National gov ernment. " Nor is there any doubt that, by these acts, the practical relations of North 'Carolina to the Union were suspended, and yerv aeriona liabilities innrrr1 h-v ihnan wno were engaged in tnem. . . - But these acta did not effect, even for a moment the separation of North Carolina from the Union, any more than the acts of tin individual who commits grave offences against the State by resisting its officers and defying its authority, separata him from the State. Such acts may subject the of fender even to outlawry, out can discharge him from no duty nor relieve him from any responsibility. I The National Constitution declares that ' Treason against the United States shall consist only in levying war against them or ia adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort" ' ::;.. . . The word " only 'I was used io f exclude - from the criminal jurisprudence of the new llepublio the odious doctrines of construc- tive treason. Its use, however, while lim iting the definition to plain overt acts, brings these acts in conspicuous relief as bcir? ahrays and in essence, treasonable. War, therefore, levied against the United States by citizens of the Iiepublio- under the pi otected authority of the new State covernment of North Carolina or of the so-called Confederate government which assumed tho title ' of the " Confederate States," was treason against thd ' United - rotates. -. ' - ,.. It has been aunrjosed. and bv some stren uousiy maintained that tne Aorta iJaroiina uroiniaio ci i&gi, wblca purported to re real the Nrth Carolina Ordinance of 1789. l y y-Uchtiia Constitution of the United L-iis-J V.

' 2;- louc! tie tlccrcllcJ necessary. That question, as a practical one, i at rest and Is not likely to be re vived. - It is enough to say here, in our judgment, the answer which it has received from events, is that which the soundest eon struction of the Constitution warrants and requires. .' -" ; ' Nor can we agree with some persons, dis tinguiahed by abilities and virtues, who in sist when rebellion attains the proportions and assumes the character of civil war, it is purged of its treasonable character and can only be punished by the defeat of its armies, tne disappointment of its hopes, and the calamities incident to unsuccessful War.'" -I Courts have no policy and can exercise no political powers. They can only declare tne law. un wnat sound principle, then, can we say judicially 1 that the levying of war ceases to be treason wnen the war be comes formidable ? that war levied by ten men or ten hundred, is certainly treason, but is no longer such when levied by ten thousand or ten hundred thousand ? that the armed attempts of a few. attended bv no serious danger to the Union and sup pressed by slight exertions of the public force, come, unquestionably, within the constitutional definition, but attempts by a vast combination, controlling several States, putting great armies in the field, menacing with imminent peril the very life Of the ivepuouo ana aemanaea immense enorts ana immense expenditures of treasure and blood for. their defeat and suppression, swell beyond the boundaries of tho defini tion, and become innocent in the propor tion of their enormity ? But it is slid that this is the doctrine of the Supreme Court. We think otherwise. In modern times it is the usual practice of civilized governments attacked by or ganized and formidable rebellion, to exer cise and concede belligerent rights. In stead, under such circumstances, of pun ishing rebels when made prisoners in war as criminals, they agree on cartels for ex change and make other mutually.beneficial arrangements ; and, instead of insisting upon ouensivo terms ana aesignations in intercourse with the civil or military chiefs, treat tnem, as lar as possible, without sur render, of essential principles, like foreign ioe eugageain regular wariare., But these are concessions made bv the Legislative and Executive departments of government in the exercise of political dis cretion and in the interest of humanity, to mitigate vindictive passions inflamed bv civil conflicts, and prevent the frightful evils of mutual reprisals and retaliations. 'lney establish no rights except during the war. v. And it is true that when war ceases and the authority of the regular government is folly re-established the penalties of violated law are seldom inflicted upon many. Wise governments never forget that the criminality of individuals is not always or often equal to that of the acts committed by the organization with which they are oonnected. Many are carried into rebel lion by sincere though mistaken convic tions ; or hurried along by excitements due to social and State sympathies, and even by the compulsion of a public opinion not their own. - When the strife of arms is over, such governments, therefore, exercising still their political discretion, address themselves mainly to the work of conciliation and res toration, and exert the prerogative of mer cy, rather than that of justice. Complete remission is usually extended to large class es by amnesty or other exercise of legisla tive or executive authority, and individu- included in these classes with some ex ceptions oi tne greatest offenders, are atn solved by pardon, either absolutely dr - -1 i i .1 upon conuiuous prescriDea Dy tne govern ment These principles, common to all civilized nations, are those which regulated the ac tion oi the Uovernment or the United States during the war of the rebellion and have regulated its action since rebellion laid down its arms. . , ... In some respects the forbearance and lib erality of the nation exceeded all example. While hostilities were yet flagrant one act of Congress practically abolished the death penalty for treason subsequently committed and another provided a mode in which cit izens of rebel States maintaining a loval adhesion to the Union, could recover after war, the value of their captured or aban doned property. ' 'Xhe .National Uovernment has steadily sought to facilitate restoration with ade quate guaranties of union, order and eaual rights. . . ; - Un no occasion, however, and by no act have the United States ever renounced their constitutional jurisdiction over the whole territory over the citizens of the Re public, or conceded to citizens in arms against their country the character of alien enemies, or admitted the existence of any government da facto, within the bounda ries of the Union, hostile to itself. - In the Prize Cases the Supreme Court simply asserted the right of the United States to treat the insurgents as belliger ents, and to claim from foreign nations the performance of neutral duties under the penalties known to international law. The decision recognized, also, the fact of the exercise and concession of belligerent rights ana amrmea, as a necessary consequence, iub prupotuuon ui&b aunng me war, ail tne inhabitants of the country controlled by the rebellion, and all the inhabitants of the country loyal to the Union were enemies reciprocally each of the other. But there is nothing in that opinion which gives countenance to tne doctrine which counsel endeavor to deduce from it ; that the in surgent States by the act of rebellion and by levying war against the nation became foreign States, and their inhabitants alien enemies. This turoposition beintr denied, it must result that in compelling debtors to pay to receivers, for the support of the rebellion, debts due to any citizen of the United States, the insurgent authorities commit ted illegal violence, by which no obligation of debtors to creditors could be cancelled, or, in any respect, affected. nur can me aeience in mis case aerive more support from the decisions affirming the validity of confiscations during the war for American Independence. That war began, doubtless, like the re cent civil war, in rebellion. Had it termi nated unsuccessfully, and had English Tri bunals subsequentlv affirmed tha vaJiditv f colonial confiscation and sequestration of joniisu property ana aebts due to British subjects, those decisions would ba i n nnint No student of international law or of his tory needs to be informed how impossible it m mat oaca uecisions coma nave been made. ' . ; ' . ::, :i Had the recent rebellion proved suacem. fal, and had the validity of the confisca tions and sequestrations actually enforced by' the insurgent authorities been after wards questioned in Confederate Courts, it is not improbable that the decisions of the State Courts, made during and after the re volutionary war. miit tava beea cited WILMINGTON. N. C., But it hardly needs remark, that those decisions were made under circumstances widely differing from those which now exist. They were made bv tha Courta of States whichhad succeeded in their attempt to sever tneir colonial connexion with Great Britain, and sanctioned acts which depend ed for their validity wholly upon that sue cess; and can have no application to acts of a rebel self styled government, seeking the severance oi constitutional relations oi States to the Union, but defeated in the attempt, and, itself, broken up and de stroyed. ; , Those who engage in rebellion must con aider the consequences. If they succeed. rebellion becomes revolution ; and the new government will justify its founders. If they fail, all their acts hostile to the right ful government, are violations of law, and originate no rights which can be recognized by the Uourts of the .Nation whose author ity and existence have been alike assailed i We hold, therefore, that compulsory pav. ment, under the Sequestration acts, to the rebel receiver, of the debt due to the plain tiffs from the defendant, was no discharge. It is claimed, however, that whatever may be the right of the plaintiff's to re cover tne principal debt from the defend ant, they cannot recover interest for the time during which war prevented all com munication between the States in which thev respectively resided. ; We cannot think so. Interest is the law ful fruit of principal. There are, indeed. some authorities to the point that interest i jt j , a "tutu uim uucraeu u tiring war ueiweeu in dependent nations, cannot be afterwards recovered ; though the debt with other in terest may be. But that rule, m our judg ment, is applicable only to such wars. We perceive nothing in the act of the 13th July, 1861, which suspended for a time all pacifio intercourse between the legal and insurgent portion of the country, that re quires or justifies the application of that rule to the case before us. Legal rights could neither be originated nor defeated by the action of the central authorities of the late rebellion. The plaintiff must have iudement for the principal interest of his debt, without aeauction. .. THE REGISTRATION ORDER. Hkadquabtkrs Second MmrrAKT District, ) 1 Charleston. S. C.
