UoqgreML l ave been )/>*<» tod in tho bill
iippureatly to roBltuin tho power of tho
commanding ullicer, but it seems to mu
that they uru of no uvuil for that iturpafio.
Thu htiirth section provides, first, that
trial shall tint be ttnuucessurily, but 1
liuve allown tlmt the power i* given to
purtish without tiiul, and if so, tl.i* pro-
vintou is pructieally iaoperu'.lvo. Cruel
or uiiuhiiuI punishiiieatri are not to lm'
ialhulud, but who is to decide what is
jCl'UbJ ami unusual. 'Tliu Wurus have
acquired u legal meaning by long use
in thu omu ls Call it bo expected that
military *.(Utters will undorai.iiul it and
follow a rule iti language so purely tech
nical, und uot pertaining in the least de
gree to their profession; if not then such
oflrut'may define cruelty uceordiog to
his own temper, and if nut usiial, he will
make it usual. Cr»r|*uval pimishmenl,
the gag and the ball and chain, ami oth
i-r utmost iusuppoftable ftirms, torture
itiv'eitlud fur uulilury puuiahnieul, wifi be
within the range ol choice. ThirJ, thu
•untunes of a commission is uot to bo ex
ecuted without upptovul I y tli* com
muuder, if it affects life or liberty, and u
sentence of death must bo appiovcd hy
the l’i euidont. This applies to eases iu
which there ha* bwn u trial and nett-
lutiea.
I take it to hu clear, Ufulaf tho bill,
that the military coimnumlor may con
ileum to deulh without even tho form ol
trial hy n military cotntr.i -ion, ho ’ that
the life of tho condeiiiuud may depend
on the will of two men instead of one.
It is plain that tho authority hero given
to lhe military ollloer wimuints to abso
lute despotism. Hut to make it still
more unendurable, thu hill provides that
it may be delegated lo ns many subordi
nates as he chooses to nppoiul, for it de
clares he ahull punish *»r cuu-ot 11 e pun-
tailed. Jr null u power has not been wiel

The TVeshlrnr* jirivatr secretary *!<•-
livrred a nicsHSgv in willing, which prov
rd to lie a veto of the M.htaiy bill, a*
follows :
T« thi //i me of jrtwxt < tiros :
1 have examined the bill to provide
f >r the more efficient government of the
rebel States with esro nnd nnxitty which
it* trsnscciidant itu|Nirtanco is c.nlculate«l

give tliu reasons upon which it is Justi

given
tho Commanding omebr over all u.c poo-
pig ol each Rlate is that of sn absolute
nn nfircli ; bis mere w ill is to take the
place ol all law ; the law oT the Staton
is only a rule applicable to tho subject
placed under In* control, and that i»
completely displaced by the clause,
wjiioh declares tlmt all mterfcreiico ol
tbo State uutboiity i* to be null mid
void. He t)Ionu is pciitiiiud to doter-
mine what uro tho right* of person uml
gave
that they uto never remembered without
jutt iudigi.utiuii. Thu A'renuh Coimtitu-
tiott armed its ditpulics with tlii* power,
und sent them to thu Southern Depart
ment* iff tho Republic. Tho tna>sacrus,
murders nnd other atrocities which they
corumilted, show what tho pm-Hons of
the ablest inen iu the most civilized soci
ety will attempt to do, when wholly un-
ristruiiiod by law. ■« .
Tin* men ol our race, in every ago,

toi.t. llavo we tho power to cstnbli-h

riv our atith..rity from tn® LiUtHtit itton;
nn*l if Mo uro bound by ll.c limitation*
wliichat itnpoHOu llu#> proposition, it is
perfectly clear that no brunch of the
Fudurul Government, executive, legisla
tive or judiciul, can have any just powers
except thoso which it derive.* through
uml exercises under the organic luw « f
thu Union.
• • • •
Lot tt* pause to consider upon tills
question ol Constitutional law, and the
power of (Jongru.*H in the rccsot derision
tff tho Xuptuinu Court of the United
States in t-s part* Milligan. I will timt
quote from u majority of tho court:—
‘•.Martial Ir.w cannot arise from threat
ened invasion. The necessity must bo
ncluul iiti-i present, the invasion real;
such us to t'Hectnully close the cotnts
und depose tho civil authorities." Wo
see thut mur'iul law comes in only when
actual war closes courts an l Jcjz>ec*
civil authority; but tiiis bill, in time of
pence, make* martial luw operate ns
though wu wort) in uctual war, nnd be
comes the cause, instead of the eotme-
ipicnco of thu abrogatiun of ctv.l nathur-
ity.
• • • •
Thu Constitution nbn forbid < tho nr-
rest of cilisvus without judicial wnirnnt,
foundation or probable cuusu. 'i'hi* bill
nuthurixes arrest without warrant nt tho
pleasure of the military commander.—
The Constitution declares thut no person
idmll bo held to answer for n capita! or
otherwise inlumuus crime, unless on pre-
HOntmoii.t by u grand JUrV. This bill
holds any purson not a soldier, nnawcr.v
bio for all Crime* nnd ull charges with
out any presentment The C'oiistitQtioD
dec form that no person shall he depriv
ed of life, liberty or property without
duo process of l.iw. This bill set* tt»ide
all process »ff law, nnd make* thu citizen
answerable in his pciiMn and property
to thu will of two. Finally, tho consti
tution ih.'claio* that thu privilege of the
tunc* tu tho paaio. T«>rcjudiato it {
now by refusing to tho Stair.* and iiidi-l
vi lu-.i* within them thu riglit* which
tho ( oftftitltifcn nnd laws of (he Union
would flpeure to tlispi, is a br«|c|| of onr 1
pliglr.od honor, fi r ’ifrhich I ca* imagine
liocxdSso, t«» wluufj I camiut voluntari
ly become a party.
* * • *
I am thoroughly convinced that nny
settlement, or compromise or plan of uc-
fioo which is idoon*i*tent witii tho prin
ciple* of tho Con>titfition will not only
be unavailing but rnmchicVou* ; that it
multiplies tho present evils, instead of
inaifltaifiing thu constitution in it* whole
integrity nnd vigor throughout the
length und breadth of thu luod, and i»
the worst of all remedies.
• • • •
And is it not bolter tho work of resto
ration should bu accomplished by a sim
ple compliance with the plain require
ment* of tho Constitution, than by n
recourse to measure* which in effect, do-
■troy tho .State* and threaten suhvotidon
ifflho General Government ? All that)
i* nccpMory to settle thi* simple, bat itn-

by the friends of tho Union in the South
as well as «n the North as expressing
honestly and truly the object of the war,
