MARsHA1s PAY.
Senator Beck from the committee on ap-
propriations, reported without amendment the
bill making appropriations to pay the fees fol-
United States marshals and their general depu
ties. .rs
! Senator Window showed that by sections
| 2O2l the marshal, on request Of citizens, il
obliged to appoint special deputies to aid gu.
pervisors. This bill makes it penal offense tc
the marshal to obey the law. In view Of these
facts, he said there was not parallel in all oul
history for such measure. It was vilifcation
of the basest possible nature.
| Senator Logan wished to enter his protest
against the bill. He had been taught that t
obey the law was the first duty of the citizen
! 1t was now proposed to declare il his first duty
| to disobey laws.
! The President is required to see that the laws
are faithfully executed: not part Of the laws
| is prevented from executing what the consti
tuition says shall be the supreme law of the
| land. The constitution says these election
laws shall be obeyed until repealed. A judge
| disobeying them becomes impeachable under
pr S Il he obeys them % alter s 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.
! gardless of the permanent appropriation fol-
their pay. He reviewed the provisions of the
to interfere with the casting of ballots but te
preserve peace for both parties in the interest
of all. Never before had it been declared 8
penal offense to keep the peace. Continuing
he said the bill antagonized the theory of ouI
government which was that the law shall be
obeyed. The logical result would be that
! people would learn to obey only laws thai
| pleased them and di-obey all others Tn<
country would thus become mexicanized.
After further debate Senator Allison moved
to strike out the clause making it an offense tt
violate any of the provisions of the bill or any
of the various 8. ctions of the revised statutes
He objected on principle to attaching suct
| clauses to bills of this character. Rejected
| yeas IL, nays II.
Senator Mcmillan moved to strike out all o
the bill after the words: THAT the sum o.
5000, 900 is hereby appropriated, etc., for pay
ment during the fiscal yoar ending June Goth
1880, for fees of United States marshals an,
called for the purpose of passing appropriatio,
bills. In this bill, which was the last ditcl
of the Democratic party, the appropriation
made were 80 hampered by restrictions ~ t.
make necessary violations of law ON the par
of the government. His amendment woul,
make it a genuine appropriation bill, and
| vote upon the amendment would show the will
iugness of the Democrats to vote the necessar
appropriations in such form that the bill wou
become law and money be devoted to it
proper use. Rejected, yeas 10, nays ~. Th
bill read a third time and passed, yeas Is
nays Is. In all the votes above mentioned
which were strict party votes, it was necessar
Co No. 81 l. nj,
der to make quorum.
Senator Allison moved to amend the title o
the bill by adding the words, and for othe
purposes" Lost.
Senator Chandler moved to adjourn.
Senator Beck aaid tue bill just passed ha
already gone to the House and would be bac
in twenty minutes. He hoped the motion t.
adjourn would be withdrawn.
Senator Chandler withdrew the motion.
A short executive session was then held, an
when the doors were reopened the SeLate ao
