The President VetOes the U. s. Marshal's
Bill-Text of the Message.
WASHINGTON, June a0.-The follow
ing is in part the text of the Veto Mes
sage received from the President to-day
To the House Of Representatives: l re-
turn to the House of Representatives in
which it originated, a bill entitled an
act making appropriations to pay the
fees of United States marshals and their
i general deputies, with the following OBJ
jectiOns to its becoming law:
The bill apprOpriates the sum of sixty
thousand dollars for the payment during
the fiscal year ending June Both, 1880, of
United States marshals and their general
deputies. The officers thus provided for
are essential to the faithful execution of
the laws; they were created and their
power and duties defined by congress at
its first session. Additional duties have
been from time to time imposed upon the
marshals and their deputies, due and
regular performance of which are re-
quired for efficiency of almost every
branch of public service. Without these
officers there would be no means of exc
cutting warrants, DEGREES or other process
of courts, and the judicial system of the
country would be fatally defective. The
criminal jurisdiction of the court of the
United States is very extensive. Crimes
committed within maratime jurisdiction
of the United States are all cognizable
only in the courts of the United States
crimes against public justice; crimes
against operations of the government,
such as forgery, or counterfeiting money
or securities Of the United States crimes
against the postal laws; offences against
| the elective franchise; against the civil
rights OF citizens; against the existence
OF the government; crimes against the
| internal revenue laws and custom laws
crimes against laws for the protection of
Indians and public lands; all of these
crimes and many others can be punished
only under United States laws-laws
body of jurisprudence which is vital to
the welfare of the whole country, and
| which can be enforced only by means of
the marshals of the United States. In
/ the District of Columbia all of the pro-
cess of the courts is executed by the of
f1CerS in question. In short, the eXecu-
ton of the criminal laws of the United
States; the service of civil process in
cases in which the United States is a
party, and the execution of the revenue |
laws, neutrality laws and many other |
laws of large importance defined in the |
maintenance of marshals and their dep |
uties. These are in effect the only poll |
cy of the United States government; of |
ficers with corresponding powers and |
duties are found in every state of the |
Union and in every county which has |
Jurisprudence, which is worthy of the |
name; to deprive the National govern
ment of these officers would be as disas-
trOus to society as to abolish the sheriff, |
constables and police officers. 1t would |
be the denial to the United States of the |
vi oh tn ifC 1oVxy fbo o1 Ofl
all authority which requires the use of |
civil force. The law entities these officers
to be paid-funds needed for the purpose |
have been collected from the people and |
are now in the treasury. No objection |
is made to that part of the bill before me |
which appropriates money for the sup |
port of marshals and deputy marshals of
the United States. The bill contains, |
however, other provisions which are
identical in tenor and effect with the sec
ond section of the bill entitled "An act |
making appropriations for certain Judi |
cial expenses which, on the 23d of the |
present month was returned to the House |
of representatives, with my objections to
its approval.
