As some excuse must be given for their scathing defeat, the allegation that . tltey wore . sold by their own Tnenog wirnao-trs well as any other, and is In perfect keeping with the morals of the party. Tbe Uateet Vat. have been selected to make laws for the country, and who insult their con titituents, and outrage public decency, by an attempt to defeat tbe enforce ment of laws which tbey have failed to repeal, ought to bo kuown hereaf ter as law-breakers, and visited with as sharp a public censure as falls upon any private citizen who spends a nigbt in jail for violating other laws of tbe land. It is no excuse that these Democratic nulliGers had a do- tical purpose to serve. It is only the more toatheir shame that they had tried, in the" ererciae of their legiti mate power as members of the law making body, to get rid of tbe stat utes which tbey have disregarded. If public opinion should not hold these men to strict account for an act indecent ad so calculated to un- ermine reap ct for all law, it would enc?urage law breaking upon any other pretext whatever. As the resident shows, a valid and still un repealed statute, binding upon mem bers of Congress as well as upon pri- ate citizens, made it tbe dotv of Congress to provide means lor tbe nforcement of provisions against fraud at elections ; and tbe refusal to comply with the requirement was not only a violation of law by tbe mem bers themselves, but an attempt to deprive the President of power to . perform his constitutional doty. The iuaue thus raised ia one of which tbe Democrats will hear a great deal too och for their comfort before anoth er year has passed. Tbe veto message calls attention to some facts which have not been fully nderstood. The President says: Under tbe existing laws, the failure of Congress to make the appropria tions required for tbe execution of the provisions of tbe election laws would not prevent tbelr enforce ment." It has been shown in dis patches from tbe Triburxe"$ Wash ington correspondents, that there is power under existing laws to pay the supervisors of elections; and the state ment, though it seemed startling at first to Democrats who had been bop in?, through three months of extra session and sharp contest, to get rid f supervisors by omitting special appropriations for their payment, has been found entirely correct. Now the President adds to their misery by the announcement that, even if no appropriation for the enforcement of the election laws should be made, the right and duty to appoint the general and special deputy-marshals would still remain, aud tbe Execu tive Department of the Government would also be empowered to encor the requisite liability for their com pensation." In this case, therefore, mere omission of duty by Congress, mere refusal to perform the duties imposed by law, will not suffice to 'stop tbe wheels of the Government. " But the President vetoes tbe pending Judicial bill because it would deprive the Executive of that power to en force the laws which other statutes irlve. Tbe argument ot tbe President cannot be answered, nor have tbe nulliGers votes enough to overcome his objections. Hence the old ques tion comes op again tbe question which Democratic leaders might so much more wisely have considered before they forced an extra session. Will tbe Democrats yield to the In evitable without further fuss, or will they oblige the President to summon another extra session r It tbey make no appropriations for the Judicial ex penses, the provisions for the pay ment of all officers required by the election laws are nevertheless com plete and adequate, as the Presideut shows. The sensible thing for the nullifiers to do is to back out of the fijrht altogether. They can gain noth- ng, but can only intensify the public disgust, by prolonging a controversy n which their attitude is so inde!en sible. Further resistance will only fix public attention more closely upon tbe terse, simple sua unanswerable veto message in which tbe President states his determination to do what the Constitution and his oath of of fice require of him to take care that the laws are faithfully executed.

The fol lowing is the text of Mr. Hares' mes sage vetoing the bill to which it re fers : To the House of Representative : ' After careful examination tbe bill entitled "An act making appropriation for certain judicial expenses," I re turn it herewith to the house of rep resentatives, in which it originated. with tbe following objections to its approval : The general purpose ot the bill is to provide for certain judicial expenses of the government for tho fiscal year ending June 30, 18S0, lor which the sum of $5,690,000 is appro priated. These appropriations are required to keep in operation the general functions of the judicial de partment ft tbe government, and if this part of tbe bill stood alone there would be no objections to Us approv al. It contains, however, other pro visions to which I desire respectfully; to ask your attention. At the pres ent session of congress, a majority of both houses favoring a repeal of tbe congressional election laws embrac ed in title 26 of the revised statutes, passed a measure for that purpose as part of a bill entitled an act making appropriation for the legislative, ex ecutive and judicial expenses of the government for the fiscal year end ing June SO, 188Q, and for other pur poses. Unable to concur with congress in that measure, on the 29th of May last I returned the bill to the house of representatives, in which it origi nated, withont my approval, for that further consideration which the con stitution provides. On reconsidera tion the bill was approved by less than two-thirds of tbe boose and f iil- to become a law. Tbe election laws, therefore, remain valid enact ments and tbe supreme law of tbe and binding not only upon all pri vate citizens, bnt also alike and qually binding upon ail who are charged with tbe duties and responsi- ihlies of the legislative, toe execu tive and judicial departments of the government. It is not sought by tbs bill before me to repeal tbe election laws. Its object ia to defeat their enforcement. The last clause of tbe rst section is. as follows ; "And no part of the money hereby ppropriated is appropriated to pay any salaries, compensation, fees or expenses under or in virtue of title 2G of tbe revised statutes ; or or any provision of said title." Title 26 of the revised statutes, referred to in the forgoing clause, re lates to tbe election franchise and contains tbe laws now in force regu lating the congressional elections. The section of the bill reaches much further. It reads as follows; Section 2. That the sums appro priated in this act for tbe persons and public service embraced ia the provisions are in full for such persons and public service lor nscai year end ing June 30, 1S80, and no department or officer of the government shall, during tbe fiscal year, make any contract or inpur any liability for future payment of money under any of tbe provisions ot title au oi tne revised statutes of the United States, authorizing the appointment of gener al or special deputy marshals tar ser vice in connection with eleotioos or any election day nntil appropriation sufficient to pay such contracts or pay such liability shall have first been made by tbe law." This Beotion of tbe bill is intended to make an extensive and essential cbanee in existing laws. Tbe follow- tnir are tbe provisions of the statutes on the same subject whioh are now in force ; "Section 2,679. No department of the government shall expend to aav one fiscal year any sum in excess of appropriations make by congress for that fiscal year or any sum in excess of appropriations made by congress for that fiscal year or involve the government in any contract for the toture payment of money in excess of such appropriations." Section a, ms. iso contract or purchase on behalf of the United States shall be made unless thv same is authorized by law or is noder an appropriation adequate to its fulfil ment, except in war and navy depart ments for clothing, subsistence, forage, fuel, quarters of transportation, which, however, shall not exceed the neces sities of the current year." Tbe object of these sections of tbe revised statutes Is plain. It is, first to prevent any money from being ex pended unless appropriations have been made therefore : and, second, to prevent the government from being bound by any contract not previously authorized by law, except for certain necessary purpose in tbe war and na vy department Under tbe existing laws the failure of congress to make the appropria tions required for tbe execution ot tbe provisions of the election laws would not prevent their enforcement The right and duty to appoint the general and special deputy marshals which they provide for wonld still remain, and the executive department of the government would also be empowered to incur the requisite liability lor their compensation. But tbe second section of this bill contains a prohibi tion not fonnd in any previous legis lation. Its design is to render tbe election laws inoperative and a dead letter coring tbe next fiscal year. It is sought to accomplish this by omit-! ting to appropriate money for their enforcement, and by expressly prohib iting any department or officer of the government from incurring any lia bility under any of tbe provisions of title 26 of tho revised statute?, au thorising tho appointment or payment of general or special deputy marshals for service on election days, nntil an appropriation sufficient to pay such liability shall have first been made. Tbe President is called upon to give his affirmative approval to posi tive enactments which in effect de prive him of tbe ordinary and neces sary means of executing laws still left on the statute book and embraced within his constitutional doty to see that the laws are executed. If be approves tbe bill and thus rives to such positive enactments the authori ty of the law, he participates in the curtailment of his means cf seeing that tbe law is faithfully executed, while the obligation of the law and of his constitutional doty remains unimpaired. - Tbe appointment of special deputy marshals is not made by statute a spontaneous act of authority on the part of any executive or judicial offi cer of tbe government, but is accord ed as a popular right of the citizens to call into operation this agency for securing tne purity and freedom elections in any city or town having 20,000 inhabuaats or upwards. Sec- Creary, of Michigan, late Poetmas'.er uoa z.yzi ct the revised statutes says it ia ia the power of any two citizens of such city or town to re quire of the marshal of the district the appointment of tho deputy marshals. Thereupon the duty of tbe marshal becomes imperative, and its non-per-formauce would t.x -- t i to iadi- uiiuusic or pu..i. .n,e... or to re moval from office by the President as tbe circumstance of bis conduct might require. Tha bill now tefore me neither revokes this popular right of citizens nor relieves the marshaljof the duty impjsed by law, nor the President of his duty to see that this law is faithfully executed. ' ' I forbear to enter again upon any general discusoion of the wisdom and necessity of election laws, or of the dangerous and unconstitutional prin ciple of this bill, that tbe power vest ed in congress to originate appropri ations involves tbe right to compel tbe executive to approve any legisla tion which congress may see fit to attach to such bUs, under penally of refusing means weded to carry oa; essential functions of the govern-! ment. j My views on ihcse sobjacu havo been sufficiently presented in the spe cial messages sen by me to tbe bouse of representatives during their pres ent session. WUt was said in those messages I regarJ as conclusive as to my duty in reipect to the bill be fore me. Tbe irgument urged in those communications against the re peal of the election laws and against tbe right of congress to deprive tbe executive or that separate and independent discetion and judgement which the contatution confers and requires, are eqially cogent in oppo sition to mis tan. mis measure leaves the powerV and duties cf the supervisors of ejections untouched. The compensation of those officers is provided for undr permanent laws, and no liability fr which aa appro priation ia now rquired would there fore be incurred br their appointment But the power oi the national gov ernment to protett them in tbe dis charge of their Juty at the polls would be taken away. The ftate may employ both civil and military power at tbe eletions, but by this bill even tbe cm authority to pro tect the congressional elections is de nied to the Unitd States. The ob ject ia to prevent any adequate con trol by tbe Uoted States over tbe national election) by forbidding the payment of demty marshals, tho officers who are ilothed with author ity to enforce tb election laws. The fact that bis law was deemed objectionable by a majority of both houses of congrss is urged as a suffi cient warrant or tbis legielation. There are two Iwful ways to over turn legislative uactmeats. One is tbeir repeal. Tfeotner is the deci sion of a compeent tribunal against their validity. The effect of this bill is to deprive te executive depart ment of the mens to execute laws which are notreealed, which have not been declard invalid, and which it is therefore tb duty of tbe execu tive and of ever other department of the trovernmet to obey and en force. ) I have, in my former message oa this subject, exptssed a willingness to concuro in suulle amendments for tbe improvement tbe election laws. but 1 canoot coient to tbeir abso lute and entire fpeal, and cannot approve legislatta which seeks to prevent their enfrcement.

WAsmsGTo.v, June 26. 1879. Few thought, one week ago, that Congress would, to-day, be further from adjournment, than it seemed ta be then, but there has beea another veto and political weather prophets. even the wisest, are all at sea, and in a fog at that as to the time ot ad journment. It may be that a want of a quorum will be the final Men tion of the vexed deadlock betweea tbe.respective ends of the avenue. Some Senators aod members have "tied" on political questions and hied across the Atlantic Ocean, others have seceded to their respective States, where they have engagements to deliver addresses at college and seminary commencements, and, it is not improbable that statesmen, even without a formal adjournment, wi'l soon b9 as rare at tbe Capitol as statesmanship has ever been. The delightful cool days of the past week were sufficient to reconcile tbe most indolent politicians to the parallel of Washington, but for tbe last two days tbe sun has glared with blistering heat, and the acres of black absorb ing surface which compose the arti ficial boulevards ot tbe Capital eity make the night by radiation, aa hot as a tropical noonday. All who can get away from Washiogtoa have gone, or will be gone by the 1st of July, and none will be left except government clerks, shop keepers. boarding-house keepers, ouvriers. so da-fountain benefactors, and perhaps, the respective extremities of the ave nue. A canvas? of the House of Repre sentatives yesterday, immediately af ter the reading of tbe President's message vetoing the bill making ap propriations for the judicial expenses of tbe Government, developed that there were three distinct propositions entertained by tbe majority as the most practicable to be pursued. The one having apparently the largest number of supporters contemplated a resolution fixiug a time for adjourn ment sine die, and that another bill identical in its provisions with tbe vetoed measure, be passed and sent to the President, and if be should again return it without his approval adjourn and permit tbe bill to iail. A second proposition was to pass a joint resolution extending notil next Janu ary appropriations on the basis of the present act providing for judicial ex penses, witb a proviso that oo por tion of tbe money thus appropriated shall be used for the namont nf i j - - deputy marshals or supervisors of elections, and in the event of the non- approval of the President to adjourn sine die, and if be should issue a proclamation reconvening Congress, to repeat tbis action. The third proposition favors an adjournment wiihou. a further attempt to meet the views of tbe Executive. This line of action was not-favorablv en tertained but by a tew. Tbe Demo cratic party of the House, however, appear to stanl as a unit against supporting any bill which will permit the continuance of deputy marshals ana supervisors ot elections. A Cab- lnet'omcer, in discussing the situation with a member of the House yester day, said if the majority should again pass a bill similar to tbe one just ve toed the President would return it without bis signature, and if Con gress should adjourn he would call tbem together tbe next day. But if tbey should a third time send him the bill and adjourn he would not reconvene tbem, and thus throw the responsibility of closing tbe courts on tbe Democratic party.
