trust that punishment will swifily

The Democratic majority in Con

refuse to count tbe electoral vote in
ISSO ol any Siate where Federal
eupervision of tbe election has been

too amiably obstinate to be scared.
We occupy a large portion of space
usually devoted to news items, in
this issue of ta Herald, with the
President's defense of tbe Constitu
tion from the second rebellion organ
Ized for its overthrow. The present
extra session of Congress was foiced
by the Democratic party, for the
cvowed purpose of depriving the
National Government of tbo power of
protecting tbe Federal election by
tbe civil authorities, tbe professed
fcar of military interference being
the merest pretext. Tbe republican
party ia Congress, without a single
dissenting roice, opposed tbe passage
of tbe army bill in Us preteat shape,

loridlr emlaincs tbe reasons
n. j , ,
which induced him in common with
all other Ilcpublicana tooppose this
revolutionary measure, lie meets
fully and fairly the issue forced upon
the country by the Democratic party,
and exposes and throws upan it the
responsibility for attempting to take
away from tie national authorities
all control over national elections,
and to coerce tbe Chief Executive in
to tbis measure by an attempt to
withhold supplies and thus starve cut
tho Government. That lear of mili
tary interference in elections is a mere
Laid protease is so clearly shown by
tbe President's exhibit of tbe laws as
they now exist, that one is overcome
aviib wonder that men daioiing ordi
oary sense and sagacity couid boj.e
that so imsy a screen would bide
their revolutionary designs from pub
lic gaze. As tbe law now stands no
military officer may, under heavy
penalties, interfere ia any way with
citizens at tbe poll, nor evito election
ollicers, nor prevett free access to tbe
polls by any one, nor cau any part of
tbe military force be osed as a pofxf
wthitalur, but this Democratic Con
gress not content with these stringent
law want to enact that do matter
wfcai tbe danger to tbe ejection offi
cers, nor what the peril to tbe voters,
that troops shall not be need to pro
tect tbem. For instance, let such a
riot as that at Pittsbareh occur at
tbe polls, let armed bands like tbe
riSe-clubs aod Kuklux of tbe South
take forcible possession cf the polling
places, intimidate the election officers
and shoot down' the voters, no nan
wearing tbe uniform of tbe United
State army dare appear or be ueed
for the purpose of suppressing the
riot, or preserric tbe lives of tbe
cititeas. This is lhe Mate of affairs
proposed to be brought about )y tbe
iill just vetoed, and brought aboot
ir tbe threat to tbe President "sign

THE r-ROIVSEIt LEGISLATION.

from both of tbe foregoing sections

Second Upon tbe ngpt or tbe

at elections are iiow in force:
"Sec 2.0U3. Xo officer of tbe

fEACK AT THE POLLS.
Cut tbat part of section 6 of tbis
bill, which I sigaincact and vitally
important, is tbe clausv sbich, if
adopted, will deprive the civil author
ities of tbe United States ot all pow
er to keep peace at CocKressjonal
elections. Congressional election
jo every district, in every important
seas, re justly a matter ot political
interest aod concern throughout the
country. Each Stat and every po
litical party isentiiled to the share
or power which is conferred by Legd
and sonstitutional suffrage. It is
the rigbt of every citizen, possessing
ibe qualifications prescribed bylaw,
to cast ote imtimidated ballot, and
to have bis ballot booestly counted
So long as tbe exercise uT ibis power
and enjoyment of tbis right are toi
men and equal, practically as well a
formally, submission to suffrage will
te tCroid?d Joy ally and ob-et!jlly,
and this department of the Govern-
meat will feel tbe trne figor of tbe
popular will thus expressed. Two

fifteenth amendment of tbe Constitu
tion i- bb follows :
Sec I Tbe rigbt of ciiizns of

be deuied ,r a'.ridrfed by tbe Uoiied
S ates, or by at.? State, on account of
race, color, or previous condition of

Sec 2 Tbe Congress shall have
power to enforce this article by ap
propriate legislation.
Tbe Supreme Court bin held that
this amendment inve-ts ciiEog of
the United S ates with n new Con
stitutional right, wbicb is within tbe
proteciog p-'wer of Congress, i hat
right tbe C"urt declare to be exemp
tion from discrimination in the exer
cise of the elective franchise on ae
oount of rc, color, or previous con
dition of servitude Tbe power of
Congress to protect this rigbt by
appropriate legislation is expressly
Binned by the Court. National
legislation to provide safeguards for
lree and honest elections is rjeeesHary,
as experience has shown, n t fnly to
secure tbe right to vote to the en
franchised race at tbe S utb, but
also to prevent fraudulent voting io
tbe lare ciiies of tbe North. Con
gress Ot therefore eercled tbe
p wer conferred by the Constitution,
and t'as enacted certain laws to pre
vent discrimination on account of
race, color, or previous condition nt
servitude, and to punish fraud, vin.
lence and intimidation at Federal
elections. Attention is called to tbe
following sections of the Revised
Statute of the United States, viz:
Sec 2,004, which guarantees all
ciiizens the right to vote without dis
tlnc'lon on a'-o-'ont of r&oe, color, or
previ u condition of servitude.
r-rrs 2 O05. aud 2 006. wbicb guar-
!; ij ail citizens equal opp riuui
t, ri;hout discrimination, to perform
all acta rt quired bylaw as a pre
requisite or qualification for voting.
tEC. 2 022, which authorizes tbe
United States marshal acd bis depu
ties to keep tbe peace and preserve
order at Federal elections.
Sec. 2 024, wbich expressly author
izes the United States marshal aod
bis deputies to summon a ;xse comi
talus whenever they or any of tbem
are forcibly resisted in tbe execution
of tbeir duties under tbe law, ana are
prevented from executing their duties
by violation.
Sec 5 522, which provides for tbe
punishment of tbe crime of interfering
with supervisors of election aod dep
uty marst ala in tbe discbarge of ibeir
duties at election of Representatives
in CoDgref.
These are some of the laws on tils
fuljeCk. wbicb it is tbe duty of tbe
Executive Department of tte Q jvero
ment to enforce.
TAKES AWAY CIVIL AUTHORITY.
Tbe intent and effect of tbe six'b
section of ibis hill is to prohibit all
civil officers of tbe Uuited State, uu
der a penalty of fine and imprison
ruent. from employing any adequate
civil force for this purpose, at a place
where tbir enforcement la most nec
etsary, namely, at places where Con-
gresrtional elections are held. Among
tbe most valuable enactments to
wbich I have referred are those
wbicb. protect supervisors at Federal
elections in tbe discbarge of tbeir du
ties at be polls. If tbe pending
legislation should become a law.tbere
is no power vested in a;;y officer of
tbe G jyernment to protect from vio
lence tbe officers of the United States
engaged in tbe discbarge of tbeir du
ties. Tbeir rights and duties under
the law will remain, hat tbe National
Government will be powerless to en
force us own etatutes. Tbe fetetes
may employ both military and civil
power to keep the peace, and to en
force tbe laws at tbe State elections
It is now proposed to deny to tbe
Lnited Stales even tbe necessary
civil at;tbo,-;ty to protect National
elections. Xo s-uiTjcient reason has
been given for tbis discrimination in
favor of Slate and against. National
authority. If well founded objections
ejist against tbe present Na i mal
electios JjU"s, all good citizens should
unite in tbeir eofodmeut. Laws
providing safeguard at tbe elections
should be impartial, just and eraeient
They should, if possible, be bo dod
paituao and fair ia tbeir operation
that tbe minority party out ol power
will have no just grounds fo com
plain. Tbe present law have )Q
practice unquestionably conduced to
tbe prevention of fraud and violence
at elections.
In several of the States mew berg
of diferent political parties bare ap
plied for safeguards, wbitb tbev fur
nisb. It is tbe rigbt and duty of be
National Government to epact and
enforce law wbicb will secure free
and fair Congressional elections. Tbe
laws now in force should not be re'
pealed except In connection with tbe
enactment of measures wbicb will
better accomplish tbat important end
Believing tbat section C of tbe bill
be'orja me will weaken, if It doe not
altogether take away, the power of
tbiNaiooal Governments protect
tederal elections by civ;J authorities,
1 am forced to tbe conclusion tbat it
ought not to receive my approval
That section is, however, not presen
ted to me as a separate and indepen
dxut measure, but is, as has been sta
ted, aliased to tbe bill making tbe
usual appropriation for tbe support
of the army. It makes a vitai change
in tbe election laws of the country
wbich is io no wa connected with
tbe ose of tbe army. It prohibits,
under heavy penalties any person en
gated in tbe civil service of tbe Uoi
ted tales from having any force at
the plac of election, to preserve or
der, to make arrest;, to keep peace,
Ai in toy manner to enfarpe the lews
Tbia ia Jtoether foreign to tbe'ppr
pnee of an army appropriation bill
Tbe practice of tacking to arjny ap
propriation bills measures sot perti.
Qf nt to such bills did not prevail on
til mor0 tan forty years after the
adopyop of the o22;ituiion. It has
bftome a common practice. 11 oar
ties, wfcpa jo power, have adopted it.
Many abuse and a great wastes of
public money, bare in bis wy crept
into appropriation bill. Tbe "pubii
opinion of the country is against it.
The States wbicb have recently
adopted Dew constitutions have gener
ally provided a remedy for tbe evil by
enacting that no law shall contain
more tban one subject, wbich shall
be plainly expressed in its title.and tbe ' except upon an appropriation bill.
Constitutions of more than half j Tbe Republican Seoatp would not
o tbe States contaia substantially agree to nor tbe Republican fresi
this pro;i;oa. Tbe public welfare dent sign a bill for sacb a repeal,
will be promoted ia taa;y way by a Wbateve objection to legislation op
retnrn to tbe early practice of tbe on appropriation bilia may be made
Government and to the true principle !Tn ordinary time, does not apply
of legislation, wbicb r quires that
every measure shall stand or fall ac
cording to it own merit. It it were
understood tbat to attach to ao ap
propriation to a measure irrelevant to
tbe general object of tbe bill, would
imperil and prevent its final paasaga
and approval, a valuable reform iu
ibe parliamentary practice of Con
gress would be accomplished.
GUOTNbLESS ArPREQIXSION.
The foregoing enactment would
seem to be sufficient to prevent mili
tary interference with elections, but
tbe last Congress, to remove all ap
prebeosioo of sucb interference, ad
dd to tbis body of law, Section 15
of tbe act entitled, "An act makiug
appropriation for tbe support of tbe
army for tbe fi-cal yar eudioe Juue
30. 1S79, aud f-r oiber purpones,''
approved June IS, 187S, wbicb is as
folio" :
"Sec. 15 From aod after tbe pas
sage of ibis act, it shall not b lawful
t employ any part of ibe army of
the U'iiid Spates as a ponte comi
latin, or ether wise, for the purpose f
executing the laws, except iu sucb
cases snd under sucb circumstaocea
as such employment of said f;rct)
may be expretsiy auibor.z-d by tbe
Constitution, or by act of Congress
And no mooey appropriated by ibis
set shall be used to pay any of tbe
expenses incurred in tbe employment
of any troops in violation of tbis
sr cti 'u, and any persons wilfully
violatiag tbe provisions of this sec
tion shall be dtemed guilty of ruis
(leojeanor, aud upou c uvieii io there
of sbull be punished by a fiue not
exceed i j g $10,000, or imprisonment
not exceeding two years or both."
This act passed tbe Senate after
ftjll consideration without a single
vote recorded against it ou its fiual
passage, and by a majority of more
tbaa two-thirds it was concurred in
by the Ilou-e of Representatives
The purpose 61 the section quoted
was Mated io tbe Senate by one of
its supporters aa follows :
"Therefore I hope, without getting
into any controversy about ike past,
but acing wisely for tbe future, tbat
we shall take away tbe idea tbat tbe
army can be used by a general or
special deputy marshal, or any mar
shal, merely for election purp-.ises, or
pfss?, ordering tbem about polls', or
ordering them anywhere else, where
there is an election going on, to pre
vent diaorder, or to suppress disturb
ances that should be suppressed bv
peace ffirers of the State, or if tbey
must bring others to their aid, tbey
should summon unTiraniztd citizens,
and not summon officers and men of
be army as a posse c-jmHatu$ to quell
disorders, aod thus get up a feeling
wbich will be disastrous to peace
among the people of the country."
In tbe Hou-e of Representatives
tbe object of tbe act of 1873 was stated
by tbe gentleman wbo bad it iu
charge in similar terms. He said :
"But these are all minor Doints aod
insignificant points compared with
tbe great principle wbicb was incor
porated by tbe House in tbe bill in
reference to tbe use of artqed men ia
peaoe. Tbe Senate bad already in
cluded what ibey called and what
we might accept as a principle, but
tbey bad etrtekeo out tbe penalty aod
bad Stricken out tbe word 'expressly,'
so tbat tbe army might hp qsed in all
capes where implied authority might
be. inferred Tbe Ilue c mmit'ee
planted themselves firmly upon tbe
doctrine that, ratbsr tbn ielq tbis
fundamental principle for wbicb fr
three years tbis Houe bad struggled,
i bey would allow the bill to fail,
notwithstanding ibe reform that we
had secured, regarding these reforms
of but little consequence alongside
the great principle tbat tbe army of
tbe nited States in time of peace
should be under tbe eonirol of Con
gress, "and obedient to Us law. After
tbe long and protracted negotiation
the Senate committee bare conceded
that principle, in all its length and
breadth, including the penalty, wbicb
the Senate bad stricken out. We
bring yon back, therefore, a repart;
a report with tbe alteration of a single
word, vbicb the lawyers assure me
is proper to be made, restoring to tbis
bill the principle for wbicb we bare
contended ao long, and wbicb is sn
vital to secure tba right and liberties
rf the people. Thus have we tbis
day secured to tbe people f this
country the same great protection
against a standing army which cost
a struggle of two buodred year for
the Commons of hngiand to secure
for tbe British people."
From tbia brief review ot the sub
ject, it sufficiently appears that under
existing laws there can be no military
interference with elections. No case
of such interference has, in fact, oc
aurrea since the passage or the act
last referred to. Jo ofcer of tbe
United State baa appeared under
orders at any place of election in any
State. No complaint even of tbe
presence of United States troops bas
been made in any quarter. It may
therefore be confidently stated there
is no necessity for tbe enactment of
section .6 of tba bill before me to pre
vent military interference at election
The law already in force are all tbat
is required for tbat end.
oHJF.CT OF THE RIOEM.
Tbe beat justification tbat bas been
offered for attaching irreleyant riders
to appropriation bib is tbat it is done
tor convetjieace sake, to facilitate the
passage of measures wbicb ars deem
cd expedient by all branches of tbe
Government wbicb participate in
legislation. It cannot be claimed
tbat there is any sucb reason for at
tacbing ibis amendment of the elec
tion laws fo he Army Appropriation
bill Tbe history of tbe measure con
tradict 'bis assertion
A majority of tbe House of Repre
sentatives in tbe last Con "res was
in favor of the section to ibis bill. It
was known tbat a majurity of tbe
Senate was opposed to it, and that aa
a separate measure it Could not be
adopted. Jt was attached to tbe
Army Appropriation bill to compel
tbe Senate to assent to it. It was
plainly announced to tbe Senate tbat
i be Army Appropriation bill would
not be allowed to pass unless tbe pro
posed amendments of tba election
law were passed with it. The Sen-
j rpjused to assent to this bill on
account of this irrelevant section.
Congress there upon adon-nfd "with-
t paasjpg fne appropriatjoa piif faf

io a-s :
"It ia oor duty to repeal these. It
if pot worth while to attempt repeal
where free election and the liberty
of tbe citizens are concerned. We
bave tbe power to vote money. Let
n annex tbe conditions in ii and in
sist upon redress of grievances."
By another distinguished member of
tbe House it was said "the rigbt of
tbe representatives ef the people to
withhold supplies is as M Eulisb
liberty. History rfo- t . umeruua
instances where tbe CoxurociiB, leel-1
ing tbat tbe people were oppressed
oy l ibat ibe Lords would not
Constat to repeal by ordiuary meth
ods of legislation, obiaioed red' ess at
last by refusing appropriations unless
accompanied by relief measures."
Tbat question ot gravest magni
tude, aod new io tbis cuutry. was
raised by tbis kind ol proceeding It
was fully reeoguized also r.y it de

It it a question tbi ban never yet

it, without seeing we are at tbe be
ginning, perhaps, ot a struggle tbat
may last ai long in this country as
a similar struggle lasted in what we
are accustom to call 'Motherland '
Tbe struggle lasted tor two centuries
before it was ultimately decided It
is not likely to lai so long here, but
it may last ojtil every mao in tbis
chamber i in his grave. It is a ques
tion whether or no the II -use ot
Representative bave a rigbi to say :
We will grant supplies only upon
condition tbat grievances are redress
ed ; we art tbe representatives of tbe
taxpayers of ike Repulic; we. ibe
Huuseof Representatives, alone bave
the right to originate money bills ; we,
tbe lioure ot Representatives, have
alooe the right to originate bills
wbicb guard ibe money of tbe peo
ple. Tbe Senate represeut tbe
Siates We represent tbe tax-payers
of tbe Republic. We therefore, by
tbe very terms of the Constitution,
are charged with ibe duy of origir
nating ibe bills wbicb grant ibe mon
ey of the people. We claim the
right wbich tbe House of Commons
in Eogland established after two
centuries ot c intest, to say we will
no', gratittbn mooey of the people
uolei-s tbere ii redrtss of grievances."
Upoo tbe assembling of tbia 0"U-
gr'-, in purauanos; of a cull I r ao
extra sessiou, which wa- mud nec
es8rv by the failure f tbe Forty-
nfib Congress to mako the ueedtol
appropriation f rtbe support of tbe
Governmeu', tbe question waa pre
reuted wbeibertbtf)itttmp: ra-de in
lOer last ' CotJglesSilagf aft , toy v rtr
siruclion. a new principle up rj ibe
Constitution should bo persisied in
or not. Tbis ' Cogres bas ample
opportunity aud lime to pass the ap
propriation bill-, aud also to enact
any political measure wbicb may
be determlued upou tu a separate
hill by tbe usual aod orderly methods
of uroceediog. But a maj riiv of
bitb Hooaea bave deemed it wise to
adhere to the principle asserted and
maintained in ibe last Congress by a
majority of the House ot Represent
lives. Tbat principle is that tbe
House of Representatives bas tbe sole
rigbt to originate bills for raising rev
enue, and therefore bas tbe right to
withhold appropriations upqa wbicb
tbe existence of the Government may
depend unless tbe Senate and ('resi
dent sball give tbeir assent to any
legislation wbich tbe House may see
St to attach to appropriation bills
To establish this principle is to make
a radical, dangerous and unconstitu
tional change in tbe character of our
institutions.
PAXOEROVS POCTRISK
Tbe various departments of tie Gov
ernment, and tbe army and navy
are established by tte Constitu
tion or by laws panned in pursuance
i hereof Tbeir duties are clearly
defiued, and their support is careful
ly provided for by tbe law. ' The
money required for ibis purpose bas
been collected from the people, aud
is now io the Treasury, ready to be
oaid out as soon as tbo appropriation
bill are passed. Whether the appro
priation are made or not, tbe codec
uon of taxes will go on. Tbe public
money wiil accumulate in tbe Treas
ury. It was not. tbe inteutioo of ' b-j
fraoiers of the Constitution that auy
single branch of tbe Qovernnjent
should baye power to dictate the con
ditions upon wbicb tm treasure
should be applied, or tbe purposes for
wbicb it was collected. Any such
intention, if it bad been entertained,
wou)4 bave bnen pUiuly expressed
in the (JouBiHution. Ibat tbe major
itv of tbe Seuate now concur in tbe
claim of tbe House, adds to ibe grav
ity of tbe situation, but does not al
ter tbe question at issue. Tbe new
duptrjue, maintained, will result io
ibe consolidation ot nnpheefced and
despotic power in tbe Hou?e of Rep
reaeotauve- A bare majority of the
Hous will become tbe Ucvernmeat,
Tbe Executive will no longer be
what the framers of tbe Constitution
intended an equal and independent
branch of tbe Government It
clearly tbe constitutional duty of the
President to exercise hi discretion
aod judgment upon all bills presented
to bim without constrain or duress
from the other branch of Government.
To say that a majority or both House
of Congress may insist on tbe approv
al of a bill under penalty of stopping
all of tbe operations of tbe Wovern
raen for Want of the necessary sup
plies, s to deny to tbe Executive
that share o) legislative powey whicb
i plainly copftrred R tpj secoj

departrfjentof he Goftrnment has
exclusive aotboritv tp speajp for tbe
America;! people. Tbe muft au
thentic and solemn expression of tbeir
will is contained in the Constitution
of tbe foiled 3 fates. By that Con
stitution tbey bave crdaioed and
established a Government whose pow
ers are distributed among coordinate
branches, which, aa far a possible,!
consistently, with a harmonious co
operation, are absolutely independent
of each other. The people of tbe
coun'ry are un willing to see tbe su
premacy ol tbe Constitution replaced
by the omoipoteace of any depart-
n-ent oi tba Government. Tbe en
actment of tbia into a law will estab
lish a precedent wbich will tend to de
stroy tbe equal independence, of tbe
several branches of tbe Government.
Its principle places rot merely tbe
Swuate and tbe Executive, but tbe
Juoieiary Io, under the coercive
dictation of the House. Tbe House
alone will be tbe Judge of wbat con

wbio'b it originated withcut my ap

which ibe Cousti uM u invested tbe

wholesome usage of the earlier days
of tbe Republic, wbicb excluded from
