THE VETO.- The President Again Puts If. is Foot Down on Reyo lutionary Legislation, Washingto.v, XIsj12 The fol lowioif ia the aiessage of the I'resi dent ot the United States returning to ice House uf Representatives the bill entitled "an act to prohibit mill tary interference at elections :" To the House of Beprcsenlaticrs ; Afier a careful oneideraiion of the bill entitled "an act to prohibit mili tary interference at elections," I re turn it to the ilonse ot ivepresenta tivep, in which it originated, with the following objections to its ap proval: (a the coQiaionicAiion sent to the Llouse of Representatives on the 23th of last month, returning to the House without my approval the bill entitled "an act makiug appropriations for the eopport of the army for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1880, and for other purposes." I endeavored to show by quotations from the staintes of the toned btates now in force, and by a brief statement cf the facts in regard tc recent elections in sev eral plates, that no additional legis lation was neceseary to prevent in terfereace with elections by the mili tary or naval farces of the United States, ibe fact was presented in that commuaication that at the time of the passage of the act of June 13, 1873, ia relation to the employment of the army as ie comitatus or otherwise, it was" maintained bjr its friends that it would establish a vital and fundamental principle which would secure to the people protection against a standing army. The fact was also referred to that biace the passage of this act, Congressional Slate and municipal elections were held throughout the Union, and that in no instance has complaint been made of the presence of United States soldiers at the polls. Holding, as I do, the opie'en that any tuiliiary interference w caterer at the polls is contrary to the spirit of our inbtitutions and would tend to destroy the freedom of elections, and sincerely desiring to concur wiib Congress in all of its measures, it is with very great regret that am forcer to the cocplusion that the bill before me is not only unnecessary to prevent snpb interference, but is a dangerous departure from long set tler, and important constitutional principles. The iai E RULE. The true rule as to the employment of military forpe at elections is not doubtful. No mtimidalionor coercion should be allowed to control or in fluence citizens in the exercise of their right to vote, whether it appears in the shape cf combinations of evil disposed persons or of armed bodies of the military of a State or of the military force of the United States. The elections should be free from all forcible interference, and as far as practicable fiom all apprehension of such interference. No soldiers.eitber of the Union or of the State rpiitis. should be present at the polls, to lake the place or to perform the duties of the ordinary civil police force. Tbere fcaa been and will be no violations of this role under orders from me during this administration. put there should be oo deuial of the right of the National Govern ment to employ its military force, on any day and at any place,' in catb such employment is pe-rees-'arj to en force the Constitution and laws of the United States. Tb bill Ltfore me Is as follows: "Be it enacted, Sic, that it shall not be lawful to bring to or employ at any place, where a general or special election is being held in a Siaie, anv e . . f . . pari oi me army or navy til ice United Slates, cnless such furce be necessary to repel armed enemies of the United States, or to enfoice sec tion four of article f-ur of the Con stitution of the United States and laws maae in pursuance thereof, oo application of the LegieUtors cr Ex ecutive of the State where each force is to be used ; and eo much ci all laws aa is inconsistent herewith is hereby repealed " It will be observed that the bill exempts from the general prohibition against the employment of military forcos at the p fis iwo specified cases. These exceptions recogoiae and con cede the soundness of the principle that military force may properly and const i'otionally be osed at the place of elections, when sucb use is neces sary to enforce tbe Constitution tad law, bqt the excepted cases leave the prohibition so extensive and lar reaching that its aioptlon will ee riousij impair tbe efficiency of the Executive Department of tbe Govern ment. WASniXOTOS, JEFFUSOX A$l US- Mur VIEWS. Tbe first act expressly authorizing the use of military power to execute tbe laws was passed almost as early aa tbe organization of tie Govern ment under the Constitution, and was approved by President Washington May Sad, 1 22. It is as follows; let ESTABLISHED; 1837. SOMERSET, PA.. WEDNESDAY, MAY 21, IS79. "Sec. 2. And be it farther ena;ted, that whenever the laws of the United States shell be opposed, or the execu tion thereof obstructed, in any State, br combination too powerful to be suppressed by the ordinary coarse of judicial proceedings, or by use powers vested in marshals by this act, tbe same being notified to the' president of the United States by an Associate Justice or District Judge, it shall be lawful for the President of the United States to call forth the militia of sueb State, lo suppress such combinations and to cause the laws to be duly exe cuted ; and if (be militia of a State where sucb combinations may happen shall refuse or be insufficient to sup press the same, it shall be lawful for the President, if tbe kejjisjatnre of the United States be not ia session, to call forth and employ such num bers cf tbe militia of any oiher State or StateB most convenient thereto as may be necessary, and tbe Bse of the militia so to be called forth may be continued, it necessary, until tbe ex piration of thirty days after the commencement of the ensuing ses sion." In 1195 this provision , was sub stantially re enacted in a law which repealed tbe act of 1792. In 1807 tbe following act became a law, by the approval of President Jefferson: "That in all cases of insurrepiion or obstruction to the Jaws, either of the United States or of any individ ual State or Territory, wnere it is lawful for tbe Presidents the United Stales to call forth the militia for the purpose of suppressing such insurrec tion, or of causing tbe laws to be duly executed, it shall be lawful for him to employ for the same purposes sucb part of the land and naval force of the United States as shall be judged necessary, having firet ob served ail tbe prerequisites of tbe law in that respect." By this act it will be seen that the scope of the law of 1795 was extend ed so as to authorizs tbe National Government to ose not only the militia, but the army and nary of the United States in eausing the laws to bi duly executed. 1 Tbe important provision of the acts of 17'J2, 1795 and 1807, modiDed in its terms from time to time' to adapt it to existing emergencies, remained in force until br an act, approved by President Lineoln July 29, 1861, it was re-enacted substantially in the same language in which it i8 now found in tbe Revised s'.atut?, nace ly: -4 "Sec 5293. Whenever, by reason of unlawful obstructions, combina tions or assemblages of persons, or rebellion against the authority of tbe Government of tbe . nited States, it shail become impossible, ioJhjB judg ment ot the president, to 'enforce bv tbe ordinary coarse of adliaj .-Oroe ceedings, tbe laws of tbe United States witmn any state or territory, it shall be lawful for tbe President to call forth the militia of any or all States, and to employ such parts of me .laaq anu navel lorce.. ot toe United States as he may deem nec essary to enforce the faithful execu tion of the laws ct tbe united states, or to suppreps sucb rebellion in what ever State or Territory thereof tbe laws of the y nited States may be forcibly opposed or tbe execution thereof forcibly obstructed." THE EXISTING LAW AS 0LT AS THE r.QVERSMENT. This ancient aoj fundamental law has been in force from the foundation of the Government. t is now pro posed to abrogate it on certain days and at certain places. In my judg ment no fact has been produced which tends to show that it ought to be repealed or suspended for a single hour at any place in any of the Stales or Territories of the 7nioo. 411 tbe teachings of exnerienoe ia tbe coarse of our history are in favor of sustain ing its enicieucv unimpaired, on every occasion wbeo tba supremacy of tbe Constitution has been resisted and tbe perpetuity of our institutions im periled. ibe principle of tbe statute, en acted bv the lathers, has enabled tbe Government of the Union to main tain its authority and to preserve tbe integrity of tbe nation at the most critical periods of orir history. My predecessors in tbe executive office have relied on this great prin ciple. It was ou this principle that I resident sbiGt a auppressed- the whiskey rebellion in Pennsylva nia in 1791. In 180G, on tbe same principle President Jefferson broke up the Burr conspiracy by issuing or ders for the employment of Bocb force, either of tbe regulars or oft.be militia, and by sucb proceeaiD": of tbe civil satboritr as might enable tbem to suppress effectually the flit bar pro gress of tbe enterprise. It was un der the same authority that Presi dent Jackson crushed the nullification in Scntb Carolina and that Pres ident Lincoln issued bis call for troops to save the Uui m in l?Cl. Qn nu merous other occasions of lass signif icance, under probably every admin istration, and certainly ' under tbe present, this piwer has been usefully exerted to euf rte the laws without, objection by any party ia ibe" eouu try, and almost without attracting attention Tbe great elementary constitution al principle, which was ibe founda tion of the origin I statute of 17U2, and which has been its essence in tbe various forms it hag assumed since its first adoption, is that ibe government of the Utiited States fiossesses under tbe Conetutioo, ia ull measure, the power of self-protection by its own agencies, altogeth er independent of State authority, and if need be against the hostility of State Govern incuts. It should re main, embodied in our statutes unim paired, aa it baa been from tba very origin of the Government. It abonld be regarded as hardly less valuable or Ie3s sacred tbaa the provisions of tbe Constitution itself. Tbere are many otiit? important Statutes containing provlskas that are liable to be suspended or anulled at times and places of holding elections, if tbe bill before me abonld become a law. I do not undertake to f Or nish a list of them. Many of them, perhaps most ot tbem, bave been set forth in debatea on this measure. They related to extradition, to Crimea againe election laws, to qaarantint regulations, to neutrality, to Indiau reservations, to civil rights of citizens, aid to o:her subjects, la regard to tbem all it may be safely said that tbe meaning and effect of this bill is to take from tbe General Govern ment an important part of its power to enforce tbe laws. STATE BIGHTS AND NATIONAL AU THORITY. Another grave objectioa to the bill is its discrimination in favor of tbe State and against tbe National au thority. The presence cr employ ment of the army or navy of the United States is lawful under tbe terms of this bill at the place where an election is being held in a State to uphold the authority of a State then nd there in need of such military intervention, but unlawful to uphold authority of the Government of the United States then and tbere ia need of such military intervention. Un der this bill the presence and employ ment of tbe army and navy would be lawful and m'gbt be necessary to maintain the conduct of a State elec tion against the domestic violence that would overthrow it, but it would be unlawful to mantain tbe conduct of a national election against the same local violence that would over throw it. This discrimination has never been attempted in any previous legislation by Congress, it is no more compata ble with maxims and methods of our system of Government, on the occa sion of elections, tuft at other times. In early legislation of 1793 and of 1795, by which the militia of the States was tbe only military power resorted to for the execution of con stitutional power in support of State or National aathority, both functions of Government were put upon tbe same footing. By the act of 1807, the employment of tbe army or navy was authorized for tbe performance of both constitutional duties in tbe same terms. In all later statutes on the samtf subject matter the same measure of authority to the Govern ment has been accorded for the per formance of both these duties. No precedent has been founded in any previous legislation, and no suf ficient reas a has been given for the discriminati n in favor of the State and against the National authority, which this bill contains. Under the sweeping terms of the bill the Nation al Government is effectually shofr out from the exercise of the right and from tbe discharge of the imperitive duty to use its whole executive pow er, whenever and wherever required, for the enforcement of tbe laws. At places and times where and when its elections are held the employment cf ils organized armed forces for any such parpose would be an offence against the law, unless called for by and therefore upon the permission of fne authorities of tne"Stat8Trl :w"b:cfi tbe occasion arises. What is thi? but the substitution of the discretion of the Government of the United States, tia to tbe performance of its own duties f In niyjudgrie.it, this is aa abandon ment of its obligations by tbe Nation al Government, a subordinatoq of the National aqtboity, and an intru sion of state supervision over Nation al duties, which amounts in spirit and tendency to State supremacy. Although I believe that tbe exist, ing statutes are abundantly adeqate to completely Lrsvect, military interference with the elections, in the sense in which tbe phrase is used in tbe title of this bill, and is employed by tbe people of this country, I shall fjnd no digjculir in concurring in any additional legislation, limited to that object, which does not interfere with tbe indispensable exercise of he powers of tbe Government and tbe Constitution and laws.

"You escaped? Uut were you wounded ?" "No, sir, I was not touched." "You were not even wounded?" "Not much." "Bqt certainly your clothes were pierced with bullets?" "Not a bit of it.

"Give me ten cents and I'll tell you how I didn't get killed." It was a tempting bait, and it wii3 taken.

When I built my bonsc, 4 years ago, I dug my cistern back of the bouse before 1 built the summer kitchen, so as to have it ia the kitchen. Tbe filterer is a small cistern, one or two feet from tbe other cistern, with a tile for a spout to connect them. Tbe end of this pipe ia the filterer is enclosed by a 8m all circular brick wall, or a doub le wall of two inches each, with a space of two inches between, which is filled with pulverized charcoal The surface of this filtering wall is scarcely a square yard, and that part of tbe roof discharging into the cis tern 24 feet by 40. Yet it is only the most violent thunder shower that gives nioro than enough wa'er to pass readily through the filterfr. Tbe maia cistera is 6 fe' '.a ai-meter and 2 1 feet deep. This gives U3 c o l wa ter all summer as cool as well wa ter. We draw with a chain pump, which keep3 the a:r and water circu lated, so tbat it is pure. I prefer to cave tbe filterer outside the main cistern, and being shallow, it is easily cleaned. Both cisterns are covered with a brick arch. Ia the cistern of C feet in diameter, the arch is started with a greove cut in theearth for the bottom of the arch. The earth bold it sufficiently (r m where tbe cistern is plastered. The arch rises 11 feet, leaving three feet ef earth over it. Ia Thomas' book, "Farm Implements," I found tbe following rnle for meas uring cisterns : Five feet ia diameter, each foot ia depth will contaia 4jj barrels or Z2 gallons ;C feet diameter, 6 J; 7 feet, 9 1-12 barrels ; 8 feet nearly 12 barrels.
