Marshals Instructed to Disregard Stat Band Locat Laws. A Gigantic Step Towards Political Centralization, Showing the Kapid Progress ot Amer ican Cuesarisin. NO WILL BUT GRANTS, AND TIIE PEOPLE BUT PUPPETS OF lIIS VAST AMBI TION TO BE THE FIRST AMER ICAN EMPEROR. Telegraphed Speecially to the Constitution. Washington, September 4.—The 10l 'owing was referred to Gen. Sherman tor his guidance by the secretary of war and transmitted to his marshals for their government: THE LKTTKK Silt—The laws of the United Slates having made it my duty to exercise gene, al direction over marshals in the manner of discharging their offices, I have prepared for their use this oircular letter of instructions as to THE COMING ELECTIONS, iiltendiug the same also a reply once for all, to numerous applications,in likecoiu ununealicns from private citizens iuvd .*n states. In u**- p'x-svi.. condition ,i legislation, the Tinted States occupy i position toward voters and voting, which vairii'S according a* the J election s for state and other local officers only. As for members of congress and MKII>E -TUI. electors, in elections at "wliioh members of the house of representatives are Jjohoson, which by law include also elections at which all the electors for president and vice president are appointed, the United States secures voters agains l whatever in general bio lets or prevents them from a free exorcise of the elective franchise, extending that care a'lke to the regis tration, the act ot voting and the person al Ff>KKDOM AND SECURITY OF Till? VOTER at ail times, as well as guard against violence on account of any vote that he may intend to givens against conspiracy, or that he may already have given. The peace of the United States [there fore, which you preserve, and whose violation you arc to surpress, protect among others, the rights specified iu the last paragraph)', and any pet son who by force VIOLATES THESE HIOHTB breakes that peace and renders it your duty to arrest him, and to supress any riots incident, or that threaten the in tegrity of registration or election, to the end that the will of the people in such election may lie ascetamed antk take effect, and that offenders may be brought before the courts for punish ment. NOTORIUB AND EVENTS IN SEVERAL STATES which recently, and in an unusual man ner have been publicly reprobated, rendered it the grave duty of all mar shals v\ ho have cause to apprehend a violation of the peace ot the United States, connected as above with the elections, to he held upon the Tuesday after the first Monday in November next, to be prepared to preseive and to restore such peace. As the chief ex ecutive ollicei of the United States in your district, )ou will be held RESPONSIBLE FOK ALL BKXACIIES of the peace ot the United States which diligence on your part might have pre vented, and tor the arrest and security of all persons who violate that peace in any of the points above ennumerated. Diligence in these matters requires, of course, that you be aud continue to be pre cut, in persons or by deputy at all places of registration or election at which you have reason to suspect that the PEACE IS THREATENED, and that whenever an embodiment of the posse oommitnlus is required to enforce the liw, such embodiment shall be effected. You will observe that the special deputies in mtioned in sec tion 21)12 of the revised statutes hrve peculiar duties assigned to them, du ties which otherwise do not belong to deputy marshals. Such .special .deputies can be appointed only iu cities ot two thousand inhabitants and upwards, but the duties assigned to marshals and their deputies by section 2,022, or eth er like statutes, belong to all duly ap pointed deputies, whether they be gen eral or be special within the ineauiuing of that and the preceding section. Dep uties to discharge this hitter class of du ties, may be appointed to ANY NUMBER WHATEVER, according to the discretion of the mar shals in all the states in which sheriffs have a similar power. Section 2,030 has no practical bearing upon this point in states where no limit is imposed upon the appointment of deputies, because in such stales the laws of the United States, prior to the 10th of June, 1872, lelt marshals also unlimited as to the num ber of their deputies. In discharging the duties above mentioned you will doubtless receive the countenance and support of all the good citizens, ol the United States in your respective districts it is not necessary to state that it is upou such countenance and support that the United States mainly rely iu their end a jf to Ejjfouce the right to vote, which they have given or have secur ed. The present instructions are in tended only to countenance that partial malice, wrong headedness or considera. tion which sometimes triumphes at critical moments over the conservative and general prevailing forces of society, and to which the present and passiug condition of the couutry gives more than ordinary strenght, and therefore requires the government particularly to observe and provide against. In this connection I advise that you and each of your deputies, geucral and special, have a BIGHT TO SUMMON TO YOUR ASSISTANCE in preventing election disorder, every person in the district above the age of fifteen, whatever may bo his occupation, whether civilians or not, and including the military of all denominations, mil itia soldiers and marines, all of whom ate alike commanded to obey you. The tact that they' are organized as military bodus, whether ol the state oi of the United Stales, under the imme diate command of their own officers, does not in anywise effect their legal character. They arc strictly the posse ooinmiUtns. I prefer to quote the above statement of the law upon this point from an opinion by my predecessor, Attorney General Cushing, because it thus appears to have 'been well settled for many years. 0 Opinions, 46, May 2, 1854. I need hardly add that there can he NO STATE LAW OR STATU OFFICIAL in this country, wl o has jurisdiction to oppose von in discharging'your official duties under the laws of the United Stales, If such interference shall take place, a thing not anticipated, YOU ARE TO DISREGARD IT entirely. The laws ot the United Slates are supreme, and so consequently is the i action of offloads of the I uited States in * enforcing them. There is, ns virtually you have been told, no officer of a state whom you may not by summons, embody into your own posse, aud any state posse already embodied by a sheriff, will, with such sheriff be obligml, upon your sum mons, TO BECOME A PART of a United States posse and obey yon or your deputy, acting virtute officio. The responsibility which devolves upon au officer clothed with such powers aud required to guard the highest light of citizens corresponds in a degree with their powers and rights, and exacts of such officer consideration, intelligence arid courage. It is proper to advise you that la preparing t his macular I have considered the recent important judgment given by the supreme court of the United States upon acts of tonic. I have founded the above instructions upon those acis as affectiou by such judgmout, and I need in this place add no more that these judgments do not concern elections for federal offices. You will find appended in full, or by reference, such statutory provision as it seems important that you and your dep uties shall in this connection read and consider in matters of doubt. You are of course entitled to the advice ot the United States attorneys for your district. These instructions have been submitted to the president and has his approval.
