GOV. FOOTE Az BRISTOL

GOV. FOOTE AT BRISTOL.
Gov. Footc did not have things
quite to himself last Wednesday.
The appointment being his own,
and there being no Democratic
State Elector who had the boldness
and energy to tackle him on his
round through East Tennessee, the
Tildou and Hendricks Club invited
the Hon. James White, Of Haw-
kins, to meet him. OF course
Bristol was at his mercy, and a
limited commodity that divine at
tributcd in his bosom proved to be.
A square division of time he abso-
lutcly refused to concede, PREFER
ing that his libellious and scanda-
louo charges against the splendid
character of Gov. Tildcn should
not be answered fully, if at all
AS the best terms attainable he
vas to open with an hour and a
quarters speech, to which Colonel
White was to reply in a speech Of
the same length, and then he was

to time. This gave him every ad-
vantage, and of course in his cons
GLIDING remarks, which covered
fifty minutes, and only ended then
because the crowd could not longer
be held, he made allegations the
untruth Of which were only in
keeping with the unfair advantage
he possessed himself of.
AS an instance of the downright
political mendacity he exhibited
we will instance his assumed refu-
tation Of Mr.. Whites charge that
The present radical administration,
to which Gov. Hayes was fully
committed, was responsible for the
absolute supremacy of the military
to the civil power, and the utter
overthrow of the freedom of the
ballot by sending the army to over-
awe the Southern States. Gov.
Foote emphatically and explicitly
declared that Gov. Tilden was the
author of this military outrage
That he had telegraphed Mr.. Lord
to introduce a resolution directing
Grant to do what he has done, and
that Lord did introduce the reso-
luton which was drawn by Tilden
and it was passed, and that under
it the President had acted.
Now, the facts are exactly other
wise, as no man better knows than
Gov. Foote. The Lord resolution |
directed the President to use and
exhaust the whole power of the |
CoURTs for the protection of voters
of all of the States. If Gov. Til |
den drew this resolution, very good.
1t cxalts the civil power above the
military power. Grants orders,
through his Secretary of War,
Cameron, and Acknowledgement,
Taft, oXalt the military. over the
civil power. Tilden's resolution is
preventative of the Republic
Grants orders are destructive of
the Republic.

truth should have been answered
on the spot, but it could not be,

SPECIAL DEPUTIES.

You will observe that the special
deputies mentioned in section 1921 Of
the Revised Status have peculiar du-
ties assigned them, duties which other
wise do not belong to deputy marshals.
Such special deputies can be appointed
only in cities of 10000 inhabitants or
upward. But the duties assigned to
marshals and their deputies by section
2,022, or other like statues, belong to
all duly appointed deputies, whether
they be general or special, within the
meaning of that and tho preceding
section.

THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.

Notorious events in several States,
which recently and in an unusual
manner have been publicly Reproduced,
render it the grave duty of all Marshals
who have cause to apprehend the Yio-
latiOn of the peace of the United States,
connected as above with the elections
to be held upon Tuesday after the first
Monday in November next, to be pre-
pared to preserve and restore such
peace. AS chief executive officer of
the United States in your district, you
will he held responsible for all breach
es of the peace of the United States
which diligence on your part might
have prevented, and for the arrest and
securing of all persons who violate
that peace in any of the above points
enumerated. Diligence in these mat
tiers require, of course, that you be
and continue present in person or by
deputy at all places of registration or
election, at which you have reason to
suspect that breach of the peace is
threatened, and that whenever an EN-
bodiment of the posse cOmitdtuS is re-
quired to enforce the law, such embodi-
menJ be present.

UNLIMITED IN NUMBER.

Deputies to discharge this latter class
of duties may be appointed to any
number whatever, according to the
discretion of the marshal in all States
in which sheriffs have similar power.
Section 2,O3O has no practical bearing
upon this point in States where no
limit is imposed on the appointment
of deputies by sheriffs, because in such
States the laws of the United States
prior to June is, 1872, left marshals
also unlimited rs to the number of
their deputies. In discharging the
duties above mentioned, you will
doubtless receive the countenance and
support of all good citizens of the
United States in your respective dis
tricts, 1t is not necessary to say that
it is upon such countenance and sup
port that the United States mainly re-
ly in their endeavor to enforce the right
20 vote, which they have given or have
secured. The present instructions are
intended only to counterfeit that
partial malice, wrong-headedness or
reconsideration which sometimes
triumphs at critical movements over
the conservative and general prevail
ing forces of society, and to which the
present and passing condition of the
country gives more than ordinary
strength, and, therefore, requires the
Government to particularly observe
and provide against.

MORE POWER.


In this connection, advise that you
and each of your deputies, general and
special, have n right to summon to
your assistance in preventing and quel-
ling disorder every person in the dis
trict above Is years of age, whatever
may be their occupation. whether
civilians or not, and including the
military Of all denominations, militia,
soldiers and marines, all of which are
alike bound TO obey you. The fact
that they are organized as military
bodies, whether of State or the United
States, under the immediate COM
mand of their own officers, does not
in any wise affect their legal character.
They are still the posse cOmitdtuS. /
prefer to quote the above statement of
the law upon this point from an opin-
ion by my predecessor, eX-Attorney
General Cushing, because it thus APP
pears to have been well suited for many
years. See opinion 466, May p, 1854.
DISREGARD STATE AUTHORITY.
need hardly add that there can be
no State law or State official In this
country who has jurisdiction to op-
pose you in dlscharging your official
duties, under the laws of the United
States. If such interference shall
take place, thing not anticipated,
you are to disregard il entirely. The
laws of the United States are supreme,
and 50, consequently, is the action Of
