ANOTHER VETO.
The Marshals Appropriation Bill
RETURNED By THE PRESIDENT.
To the House of Representatives
return to the House of Representatives
in which it originated. the bill entitled An
act making appropriations to pay the fees of
United States marshals and their general
deputies, with the following objections to its
becoming law:
The bill appropriates 5000, 900 for the
payment during the fiscal year ending June
30, 1880, of United States marshals and
general deputies. The officers thus provided
for are essential TO the faithful execution of
the law. They were created and their pow
ers and duties were defined by Congress at
its first session after the adoption of the con-
stltution, in the judiciary act which was ap-
proved Sept. "a, 1889. Their general duties as
defined in the act which originally established
them, were substantially the same as those
prescribed in the statutes now in force The
principal provision on the subject in the Re
vised Statutes is as follows:
Section 80. 1t shall he the duty of The Marshal
OF each district TO attend to the District and Circuit
Courts when sitting therein, and to execute
throughout the district all lawful preceps directed
TO him and issued under the authority OF the United
States, and he shall have power to command all ne
cessary assistance IN the execution OF his duties"
| The original act was amended February
| rs, 1893. The amendment is now found in
the Revised Statutes in the following form:
section IS. The Marshals and deputies shall
nave IN each state the same powers in executing
ut ihMs OF Inc nlted States as the sheriff and
other deputies of such State NAV have hy Law in
executing the laws thereof"
by subsequent statutes additional duties
have been from time to time imposed upon
the marsnals and deputies, the due and regu-
lar performances of which are required for
the efilclency Of almost every branch of the
public service.
Without these officers there would he no
means of executing warrants DEGREES. or
other processes of the courts and the iudi
cial system of the country would be fatally
defective. The criminal jurisdiction of the
courts OF the United States is very extensive
Crimes committed within the maritime iuris-
diction of the United States are cognizable
only In the courts of the United States
Crimes against public justice, against the
operations OF government, as forging and
counterfeiting the money or securities of the
United States, against the postal laws offences
against the elective franchise, against the
civil rights of citizens, against the existence
OF the government ; crimes against the inter
nal revenue laws, customs laws neutrality
laws; crimes against the laws for the pro-
lection OF Indians and of the public lands
all these crimes and many others can be pun
ished only under the United States laws
laws which taken together constitute a body
of Jurisprudence vital to the welfare of the
whoie country, and which can be enforced
only by means of the marshals and deputy
