SAMPLES OF THE MEN EMPLOYED AS DEP
UTY MARsHALs IN NEW YORK.
In 1872, the Governor of New York
in a message 10 the Legislature, called
, its attention to the character of the
men employed as U. S. Deputy Mar
shals, in enforcing the Federal election
law. He said:
A large number of United States
Deputy Marshals and Supervisors
were appointed, many of whom
were men of well known disreputa-
Bile character, and some Of whom had
been convicted criminals; class of
dangerous men never before chosen
by any ruling authority, in any COM
muniiy, as conservatOrs OF the peace.
They were instructed, upon the ad =.
vice of the Attorney General of the
United States, to submit to no inter-
ference from any quarter under State
or municipal authority. Orders were
issued which authorized them, in the
discretion of each one of them, to ar
rest at the polls citizens claiming the
right TO vote, as well as the inspectors
| who were charged by law with the
custody of ballot boxes. These arrests
were to be effected without process OF
law, issued upon formal complaints.
