Congress.
4 Washington, May 12.—The Senato re
sumed consideration of the executive and
judicial appropriation bill:
la tho ilou.io attention was called by
Mr. Cox, of New York, to a petition pre
sumed by McCoid, of Iowa, last Satur
day, and printed in yesterday’s Record.
stating that the longer continuance of
the session is fraught with danger to the
peace and with disaster to tho financial,
commercial and other interests of the
country. That tho measures inaugurat
ed by Congress threaten revolution and
strike down all safeguards to a free and
unintimidated ballot, an i that this un
profitable session should he speedily
terminated.
Cox characterised the petition os
insult to Congress, and said that ho ob
jected to it at tho time, and that Ihere-
toro it should not have neon printed.
A U'-Dg di-.'U. . • U.-U -d, t\'X instating
that tho petition should be struck out of
the Re, ord and Oonger taking tho ground
that it would be improper, and that tho
only proper remedy was an expunging of
tho petition by action of tno House,and in
order to hnve that action he insisted i that
the petition should bs road so that he
, ,-ul i i-1. '.v what he was voting on.
Tbe Speaker, after quoting precedents
iu support of his position, stated that the
House bad control over tho .Record as
much as it had over the journal, and that
be would, therefore, submit tho qnostion
to tbo House. He intimated that if he
bad nisown will shout it he would let tbo
petition stay in the Record for what it is
worth. If objections to tho petition had
been noted by the reporter and inserted
in tho report, tho petition conld not have
been printed in the face of that objection.
Therefore the correction of the Record by
inserting the objection would necessarily
sxclnde the petition. The discussion
still going on. Finally the question was
submitted as to whether. tho Record
should be corrected by the insertion of
the objection, tho Speaker stating that
snoh correction would necessarily exclude
the petition, and tho correction was or
dered.
The;Speaker thereupon congratulated
the minority on the result as it was a
great protection to the minority. The
introduction and rsferenoe of bills was
then proceeded with.

WASHINGTONS
Tho Army Bill Vetoed.
Washington, May 12.—Tne P/esldant
L-iay rt-tnreo 1 to the House of Represen
tatives the “Act to prohibit military inter
ference at elections.” with his objections
to its approval.
rce President says: “Holding , as I
do the opinion that any military interfer
ence whatever at the polls is oontrary to
the spirit of oar institutions, and mast
teed to destroy tho freedom of elections,
and sincerely desiring to ooncnr with
Oongress in all of its measures, it is w ilh
very gte*t regret that I am forced to the
wocclniion that the bill before me is not
only unneccnaary to prevent auoh inter*
•«tence, bnt Is ;i dangtroas departure
from long-settled and Important constitu
tional principles. Tho trne rule as to the
employment of military foroe at elections
is not doubtful. No intimidation or co
ercion ahonld be Allowed to control or Ids
hoenoo cittrens in tbe exercise of their
tight to vote, whether it appears in tbe
^hspe of combinations of evil-dispoeed
Parse ns, or of armed bodies
°f the militia of a State or of the mili-
*ary force of tne United States. The
eloctloiu should be free from all forcible
interference, and os far os practicable
from All apprehension of such interfer
ence. No soldiers, either of the Union
or of the State militia, should ba present
at the polls to take tha place or perform
the duties of the ordinary civil police
force. There ha3 been and will be no
violation of this rule under orders from
me during this administration. Bat
there should be no denial of the right of
tho National Government to employ its
military force on any day and at any
place in auch employment as is necessary
to enforce tha Constitution and laws of
the United Slates.
Quoting the bill, the President say*:
"ft will be observed that the bill exempts
from tbe general prohibition against tbe
employment of military force at the polls,'
two specified eases. Tbe exoeplione rec
ognize and oonoede the soundness of the
principle that military foroe may prop
erly and constitutionally be need at the
place of elections when such nae it nec
essary to enforce tbe constitution and the
laws; bat the excepted? oases leave tbe
prohibitions so extensive and far reach
log that its adoption will seriously impair
tbs efficiently of the Executive Depart
ment of the Government
The Preaioent then begins to quote the
acts of Oongroes authorizing the use of the
military power to execute the lews,
provisions of whieh were; approved by
Washington and Jefferson, end still later
by Lmoeln, end, referring thereto, tbo
Preeident says: At the most oritioal pe
nods of car history my predeoessors in
the « r-octivo office have relied on the
great principle. It woe on this prinol
pie that President Washington suppress
ed till- whisky rebellion in l’enusylvsuis
in 171*l. In 1806, on tbe Mine principle
President Jefferson broke up the Burr
oouapiraoy by issuing orders Tor the em
ployment of such foroe, either of the reg
ulars or ot the mllitis, and by snob pro
ceedings of the civil authorities as might
enable them to suppress effectually
the further progress of tbe enterprise,
and it wsd under the same authority
that Pxeaiient Joekson crashed nullifica
tion in South Carolina, an<i that Presi
dent Lincoln issued his call for troops to
mu- tne Union in lsill. Oa numerous
other occasions of Isas significance, un
der probably every administration, and
certainly under tho present, this power
haB been usefully exerted to enforce tbe
laws without objection to any party in
tho country, and almost without attract
ing public attention. The groat demon
tary constitutional principle which was
the foundation of the original statute of
17!':’, and which has been its essence in
the varions forms it has assumed. sines
its first adoption, is that the government
of tho United States pos-ssses,
d-r tho constitution, in full measure, the
power of self-protection by its own
agencies, altogether independent of
.Siato authorities, and if need be against
tbe hostility of State governments. It
sboald remain embodied in oar statutes
unimpaired as it has been from the very
origin of the government. It should be
regarded as hardly less valuable or less
sacred than a provision of the constitu
tion itself. There are many other im
portant statutes containing provisions
that are liable to be suspended or un-
nulled at the times and places of holding
elections, if tbe bill before me should be
oome a law. I do not undertake to fur
nish a list of thorn—perhaps the most of
them have been set forth in the
debates on this measnre. They relate
to extradition, to crimes against the
election laws and to quarantine
regulations, to neutrality, to Indian resor-
vatlons,to the civil rights of citizens, and
toother subjects. In regard to them all
it may be safely said that tha meaning
and effect of this bill Is to take from the
general government an important; part of
ite power to enforce the laws.
Another grave objection to the bill is
its discrimination in favor ot the Btate
and against national authority. The
presonca or employment of the army or
navy ot tbe United States is lawful under
the terms of this bill at the place where
an election is being held, in a State, to
phold the authority of n State govern
ment then and there in need of such mil
itary intervention, bat' unlawful to up
hold the authority of the government of
the United States, then and there in
need of suoh military intervention. Under
this bill the presence and employment of
tbe army or navy of the United States
would be lawful, and might bo necessary
to maintain the conduct of a State elec
tion against domesrie. violence, that would
overthrow it, but would be unlawful to
maintain the conduct of some national elec
tion against some local violence that would
overthrow it. This discrimination has
never been attempted in any previous
legislation by Congress, and is no more
compatible with tho sound principles of
the constitution or the necessary max
ims and methods of our system of gov
ernment oa occasions ot elections then at
other times. In tho early legislation of
1792 and 1795, by which the militia of
the States was the only military power re
sorted to for the execution of the
constitutional powers in support ot State
or national authority, both functions of
tho government wero put upon the same
footing by tho act of 1S07, the employ
ment of the army and navy was author
ized for the performance of both consti
tutional duties on the Bame terms. In
all the lattor statutes on the samo sub
ject matter the same measure of author
ity to the government has been accorded
for the performance of both these duties.
No precedent has been found in any
previous legislation, and no sufficient rea
son has been given for discrimination in
favor of State and against national an-
thority, whieh tnis bill contains. Under
the sweeping terms of the bill tbe national
government is effectually shut out
from the exercise of tno right,
and from tha discharge of
mporative duty to its whole executive
power, whenever and wherever required
for the enforcement of it* laws, at places
and times where and when its elections
are held. The employment of its organ-
d armed foroe for any snoh purpose
would be an offense against law, unless
called for by and npon the permission of
tbe authorities in tbo State where the oe-
asalon arises. Wbst is this bat tbs enb
stitntion of the discretion of tbe State
Governments for the substitution of tbe
Government of tbs United States as to
the performance of its own duties.
In my judgment this is on abandon
ment of its obligations by tbe national
government; a subordination of national
authority and an intrusion of Stale super
vision over nations! duties, whieh
finds towards State snpremsey.
Though I believe the existing statutes
are abundantly adequate to completely
prevent military interference with the
elections in the sense in which the
phrase is used in the title of this bill, and
is employed by the people of this ooan-
try, I shall find no difficnlty in concur
ring in any additional legislation limited
to that objeet, which does not interfere
with the indispensable exercise of tbe
powers of the Government under the
Constitution and laws.
