lIARsuALs' PAY.
Senator Beck, from the committee on ap-
preparations, reported without amendment the
bill making appropriations to pay the fees for
United States marshals and their general dcpu
ties.
Senator Window showed that by sections
202l the marshal, on request of citizens, is
obliged to appoint special deputies to aid SUI
peryisors This bill makes it a penal offense to
the marshal to obey the law. In view of these
facts he said there was rot parallel in all our
tnru ar n u will fInntI
of the basest possible nature.
Senator Logan wished to enter his protest
against the bill. He had been taught that to
obey the law was the first duty Of the citizen.
1t was now proposed to declare it his first duty
to dsobey laws.
arc faithfully executed. not part of the laws,
but all of them. Under this bill the President
is prevented from executing what the consti-
tuition says shall be the supreme law o the
land. Tho constitution says these election
laws shall be Obeyed until repealed. A Judge
disobeying them becomes impeachablc under
the constitution, but he will be fined and i'm
prisoncd if he obeys them after this bill
is passed. No such legislation was
ever presented to ar intelligent
people by their representatives. In further
remarks Logan argued that the appointment
of supervisors would be cut off by this bill re-
CARELESS of the permanent appropriation for
their pay. He reviewed the provisions Of the
election laws. Deputies were not appointed
to interfere with the casting Of ballots, but to
preserve peace for both parties in the interest
of ALL Never before had it been declared a
penal offensc to keep the peace. Continuing,
he said the bill antagonized the theory of our
government which that the law shall be
obeyed. The logical result would be that
people would learn to obey only laws that
pleased them and disobey all others. The
country would thus become mexicanized.

Senator MCCLELLAN moved to strike out all of
the bill after the words THAT the sum Of
5000, 1000 is hereby appropriated, etc, for pay
ment during the fiscal yoar ending June 30th,
1880, for fees of United States marshals and
called for the purpose of passing appropriation
bills. In this bill, which was the last ditch
of the Democratic party, tho appropriations
made were SO hampered by restrictions as to
make necessary violations It law on the part
of the government. His amendment would
make 1t q genuine appropriation bill, and a
vote upon the amendment would show the will
ingness of the Democrats to vote the necessary
appropriations in such form that the bill would
become q law and money be devoted to its
proper use. Rejected, yeas Is, nays q. The
