Wlu*n the President vetoed the Army bill he gave to Congress the reasons upon which he based bis veto. He did not however in Buy of bis objections intimate that he •resin favor.of any inilitary inter ference at elections Now if the President was can did in the statement.ot his oject- tionn tn the bill that , he vetoed, Congress had the right to assume that if a hill were framed and en- aoted'not'subjectto the objections upon whioh the veto' was based, that it would not be met with a veto the second time; and, inas much as the main object of the Democrats was to prohibit the use of. j^deral troops at the polls; and, as the President did not object to the.Army bill because it deprived him of the power of coutroling elections, ajbill was draughted by the Committee bn the J udiciary, whioh was not obnoxious to any of the objections which thd 'Preai- dVnt had urged against the Army Bill This bill, known a* the elec- flop Ibillj prohibited the , usp ol federal spldjers at auy., elect j«q except upon, the .request of the legislature (or of. the • ftoveunr in the event the ' legislature should not.he in session) ot the Htate'sin which the troops'were tietiled'. ‘In other wodds, the h II pluooi elec tiodspeb hr as regards the prtsetice of'tfrbojts at-the polls, tfpo'n 'the same footing as ' heliii'e till ,war.

In 'takin^ this position he no doubt presumes on.norlbqrn prejudice to sustain kin.

The.opinion holds that the laws of marriage are at the sovereign control and will ot each State, un affected. by any provision or uny article of the Constitution of the United States; that absolute and entWpower over these laws is necessarily left all to the govern ment ‘of local society; that the laws under which the parties Were convicted was with the uurcstrain- ed legislative power of Virginia to enact, and that it,'is not prohibited by any provision of the National Constitution. As to making contracts, the opinion holds that section 1977 of the Revised Statutes, which, se cures to all persons withiu the United States the right in- every ^tato, to make and enforce con tracts, etc., can only refer to con tracts lawfurunher tho law of the State? wherein-it is propose to en force them.
