Another Veto.
On the 23d inst, President Hayes private
secretary delivered to the house, message
from the president returning the judicial
expenses appropriation bill without ap.
proval. The presidents objections to its
approval are directed solely against the
clauses of the second section which provides
that no department or officer of the govern.
ment shall, during said fiscal year ending
June 80, 1880, make any contract or incur
any liability under any of the provisions of
title twenty.six of the revised statutes
the appointment or payment of
general or special deputy marshals for ser.
vices on election days until an appropriation
sufficient to meet such contract or pay such
liability shall have first been made by law.
The president takes the ground that it is his
sworn duty under the constitution to see
that every law upon the statute book be
executed until repealed or pro.
invalid by q competent tribunal,
that the appointment of deputy marshals
for the congressional elections in California
and Westchester district of New York will
be required by title 26 ofthe revised statutes
during the next fiscal year, and that
the ful6llment of this requirement
may be Of very little practical importance
rs regards these elections, they nevertheless
illustrate q principle, and he therefore
cannot attach his signature to . measure
which proposes to prohibit the execution of
that law by precluding the necessary ap.
pointments. The message also asserts that
thousands of cases arising under
The federal election laws have been brought
before the courts in various parts of the
country their constitutionality has never
yet been called in question, and that aside
from his hitherto expressed conviction as
to their importance and value, he must
continue to enforce them until they are set
aside by proper judicial tribunal, or re-
pealed by the means provided in the con.
stitution. The president fully comedies the
right of congress to stipulate for what pur.
poses the various items of money appropri-
ated by it shall be used, and finds no argu.
ment for Withholding his signature from
the bill in its failure to make any sppropri.
alton for compensation of deputy marshals
OF elections. 1t is also noticeable that he
makes no objection whatever to its provis.
ions for repeal of the jurors test oath and
for amendments of the present law in re-
