Speaker, the question here, as I have said, is not, what forfeiture does it allow an attainder to work, but does it declare that no forfeiture, that no confiscation under any jiroce&B of law shall effect land for a longer period than the life of the owner? Does it apply to any case where there is no attainder, no conviction?
The law of the last Congress prescribed a different process from conviction in a court of law of the person guilty of the crime. It provides that upon proceedings^ the dist...rict court in the nature f proceed i ruj* in udmirality the lands of cer- tain cla.-sc- of persons, and all their personal property, shall be forfeited for the use of the Government.
And the Constitution provides that the property of citizens shall not be taken without due process of law. Now, the ques- tion which gentlemen on the other side of the House have to argue is, not the law of attainder, but whether the process in the district, courts of the United States to confiscate the pro- perty of persons proved to be of the specified classes is due process wlawfor
