name of their Government. the act
would be lust as much an act of war.
and lust as promptly resented as II
any army were semi So n single sol.
dicr detailed to watch over the citizen
while discharring his highest civil
duties, is felt to be as palpa6le wrong
and as great an insult. as if brigade
or division had been thus stationed.
By Unprecedented unwarranted. de-
fiant and insolent use of the veto
power. Mr.. HAYES has prevented the
naturalization of nil such authority
during this fiscal year nor can he pre-
vent its naturalization by the same
Congress for another fiscal year. By
that time the people will be heard
from, and inasmuch as we believe
them fitted for selfgovernment, we
have no doubt thew will elect a Con.
press and President in harmony with
the. spirit that dictates the measures
which Mr.. Haves has vetoed. II is
among tho cbief bencfits ot this session
of Congress that il has educated the
people up TO full conception OF the
Radical designs. Not until the recent
record of that party was made, in the
Senate and House did any large por.
ton of the public believe that il really
and firmly intended to cling to the use
of Federal ,raons as a regular police
force, and as the appropriate guardians
OF the ballot.box. Now all this is un.
derstood. And if the session had ac.
complished nothing else. IL would have
been a paving investment of time and
money as an educating force. IN show.
ing beyond question the dangerous
designs of the Radical party. and their
purpose to pernetuate laws and Gus.
toms inimical TO tho spirit of the age
inconsistent with free Government and
menacing the perpetuity of Republican
institutions The Forty.sixth Con.
gress is to be thanked for forcing cen
tralzod and centralizing despotism to
show its hand and thus insure its
downfall.
As with the army at the polls SO
with the Radical eleotioneering corps
called Deputy Marshals. The law per.
hitting their appointment has been
saved from actual repeal by Mr. HAYES
infamous wc of the veto power. 1t
is needless for us to say TO any honest
reader that there is no constitutional
authority for Federal management of
State elections. 1t is needless 10 in
form any intelligent person that the
sole purpose for which the Deputy
Marshal law Yves originally enacted
was to enable the marty in mower TO
keep itself in by overriding the major.
ity in close districts. For this purpose
the law was framed. and for this the
Radicals in Congress and Mr.. HAYES
have defended IT, The whole country
has watched the contest and seen
proofs incontestibIe that Deputy
Marshals have been appointed com.
