From The NJ Y. Herald, Sept. 26M.
Tafcs Defence OF His Circular.

We printed, yesterday, despatch
from ourregular correspondent at Wash
ington conveying the complaint of At
torney General Taft that the Herald
has done him injustice, and defending
his circular against the criticisms which
have been directed against it. We are
constrained to say that Mr.. Taft's argd-
ments and citations fail to convince US,
but we are not sorry that he has given
an occasion for pointing out what we
conceive to be his mistakes Of law and
faults of logic. We are aware that his
position as the chief law adviser Of the
government creates strong presump-
ton than he is correct and we are in
error. We ask no reader to accept our
assertions, but only to examine our
proofs.
We will first show, by evidence so
clear as to forestall contradiction, that
Attorney General Taft, in preparing his
circular, proceeded with sloyenly haste,
which precipitated him into gross and
; ;sIe ct;da aas &C In the very be-
,t eiec''ons at which members of H.
House OF RepE9asalaair.+,p u1 NJ "a THe g
include By law STrctions at which cleo
tors Of President and Vice President
are appointed" There is no statute
which gives the least countenance to
his opinion, and it is in fragrant repug.
! nance TO the constitution. The authors
of the act giving the federal government
supervision of elections were too souno
and well instructed as lawyers to make
any illusion TO the appointment of Pres.
idental electors in the bill which they
prepared. They were careful TO limi
il to "an election for Representative
or Delegate to the Congress OF the Uni
ted States" The reason Of thss limita
ton lies in that section OF the constitu
ton which declares that the elector
shall be appointed by each State ''lr
such manner as the legislature thereo
may direct" The federal government
has not the slightest right Of interior
ence. Any State that chooses may APP
point its Presidential electors by it
Legislature, and this method was &C
tualIy adopted by several States at al
earlier period and was continued b.
one of them down TO the time Of tn
civil war. Many States viii choose n
members of Congress next November

DEAD

''She is dead ~ they said to him. 'Cotne away;
Kiss her and leave h.r-thy love is clay /"
They smoothed her tresses Of dark brown hair;
On her forehead of stone they laid il fair;
Over the eyes which gaEed too much,
They drew the lids with gentle toueh
With tender touch they closed up well
The sweet, thin lips that had secrets to tell;
About her brown and beautiful face
They tied her veil and her marriage lace.
And drew on her white feet the white silk shoes
Which were The yThit~-A no eye could choose
And over her bosom they crossed her hands
"Come away" they said, GOOD underestimate
And there was silence, and nothing there
But silence, and scents of eglantere,
And jasmine, and roses, and rosemary,
And they said Gas lady should lie lies She"
And they held their breath as they left the room
With ashudder to glance at tsstillness and gloom
But he who loved her too well to dread
The sweet, the stately and beautiful Dead
He lit his lamp and took his key
And turned it. Alone again-he and she.
He and she; yet she would not speak,
Though he kissed in the old place, the quiet cheek
lie and she; but she would not smile
Though he called her the name she loved ere-while
He and she; still she did not move
To any passionate whisper of love,
Then he said, "Cod lips and breast withoutbreath,
Is there no voice2 no language of death
'Dumb to the ear and still to the sense,
But TO the heart and soul distinct, intense2
"See now; will listen with soul, not ear;
What was the secret Of dying, dear
"Was it the infinite wonder of all
That you ever could let life s flower fall
"0r was 1t the greater marvel to feel
The perfect calm DER the agony steal ?
"Was the miracle greater to find how deep
Beyond all dreams sank downward that sleep 7
"Did life roll back its record, dear?
And show, as they say it does, past things clear2
''And was it the innermost heart Of the bliss
To find out so, what wisdom love ISL

And 'twere your hot tears on my brow shed.

His sword on my lips to keep it unsaid
"You should not ask vainly, with streaming eyes,
Which of all deaths was the chietest surprise;
1.-THE very strangest and suddenest thing
OF all surprises dying must bring"
All, foolish world Oh, most kind dead
Though he told me, who will believe it was saidY
Who will believe what he heard her say,
With the sweet soft voice, in the dear old way
"The utmost wonder is this ! hear,
And see you, and love you, and kiss you, dear;
"And am your angel, who was your bride,
And know that though dead have never died. y

as this in its provisions can be made
available for the punishment of those
who may be guilty of unlawful discrim-
inatioh against citizens of the United
States while exercising the elective
franchise, on account of their race, &c.
There is no attempt in the sections now
under consideration TO provide specifi-
cally for such an offence. If the case
is provided for at all it is because it
comes under the general prohibition
against any wrongful act or unlawful
obstruction in this particular. We are,
therefore. directly called upon to decide
whether q penatstatutee enacted by Con-
gress with its limited powers, which
Provides in general language, broad
enough to cover wrongful acts without
as well as within the constitutional iu-
risdictioh, can be limited by judicial
construction, SO as to make it operate
only on that which Congress may right
fully prohibit and punish. For this
purpose We mist take these sections of
the statute as they are. We are not
able to reject a part which is tnconsti-
tutional and retain the remainder, if
there be such, from that which is not. :"
"The question then is wheth-
er we can introduce words of limitation
into penal statute so as to make it
specific, when, as expressed, it is gem
eral only" "This would to
some extent substitute the judicial for
the legislative department of the gov
eminent. Within its legitimate sphere
Congress is supreme and beyond the
control OF the courts; but lift steps out
side of its constitutional limitations and
attempts that which is beyond its reach
the courts are authorized to, and when
called upon in due course of legal pro-
ceeding must, annul its encroachments
upon the reserved power of the States
and the people. To limit this statute
in the manner now asked for would be
to make new law, not to enforce an
old one" The whole was therefore
declared void by reason of repugnance
to the constitution. We wish Attorney
General Taft would tell us how it can
be dead for all purposes and yet alive
for controlling federal elections. 1t
is true that the decision was not pro-
nounced in case growing out of fed
eral election, but the reasoning of the
Court is fatal to the annulled act in
every application.
