hundred words. The Presidents OBJ
iections to its approval will be directed
solely against the second section, which
provides that no department officer
of the Government shall, during the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1850, make
any contract or incur any liability un-
der any of the provisions OF Title 70
of the Revised Statutes, authorizing the
appointment or payment of general or
special deputy marshals for service on
election days until appropriations
sufficient TO meet such contract or pay
such liability shall have first been
made by law. The President in his
veto message will take the ground that
it is his sworn duty under the COnstitu-
ton TO see that every law upon the
statute book be faithfully executed until
repealed or pronounced invalid by a
competent tribunal; that the appoint
ment of deputy marshals Tor the Con-
gressiOnal elections in California and the
Western district of New York will be
required by title 70 OF the Revised
Statutes during the next fiscal year, and
that although the fulltillment of this
requirement may be of very little
practical importance as regards
those elections they nevertheless
illustrate principle, and he therefore
cannot attach his signature to measure
which proposes to prohibit the eXecu-
ton of that law by precluding theneces-
sary appointments. The message will
also assert that, although thousands OF
cases arising under the Federal election
laws have been before courts in various
parts of the country, their constitutions
alitv has never yet been called into
question, and that aside from his hith-
ertO expressed convictions as to their
Importance and value, he must con-
tinue to enforce them until they are set
aside by the proper judicial tribunal or
repealed by the means provided in the
Constitution. The President fully con-
cedes the right of Congress to stipulate
for what purposes the various items
ofmoney appropriated by ii shall be used,
and finds no ground for Withholding his
Signature from this bill in its failure to
make any appropriation for the Compen-
sation of the deputy marshals OF cleo
ton. 1t will also be noticeable that he
makes no objection whatever TO Its pro-
visions for the repeal OF the jurors test
oath and for the amendments of the
present law in regard to the method OF
drawing juries. An existing law pro-
hibits the diversion of the appropriation
toa purpose different from that for which
it is specially made, and the first section
of this bill, after minutely detailing
the objects for which the various items
are separately appropriated, concludes
with the following explicit declaration:
"And no part of the money hereby APP
prOpriatcd is appropriated for any sala-
ries, compensation, fees or expenses un-
der or in virtue of title 26 of the Revised
Statutes, or any provision OF said title. y
