Soldiers ut Elections.

In his late veto message Mr..
Hayes says II great deal about
Irrational elections" What does
he mean? 1t might be supposed
from his language that the princi.
pal business for which the Federal
Government had been created was
TO look after the elections. But let
us see.
What has Congress or the Presi :
dent to 10 with an election for Pres.
ideni? Simply nothing. The Con-
stitution says: "Each State shall
appoint, in such manner as the
Legislature thereof may direct, a
number of electors.n
What have they to do with Con.
gressional elections2 Next to
nothing. The Constitution says:
"rhe times, places. and manner Of
holding elections for Senators and
Representatives shall be prescribed
in each State by the Legislature
thereof; but the Congress may at
any time by law make or alter such
regulations, except as to the places
of choosing Senator'S" Upon a
strained construction of this Ian.
guage, giving to Congress concur
rent jurisdiction with the States,
guarded and limited as 1t is, is
based the whole of the Republican
election machinery, supervisors
and marshals, costing the people
unknown sums, and terrorizing and
obstructing them, not only at Con-
gressional elections, but at the 9TH
er elections which are held at the
same times and places. But no.
Daily Los Angeles herald., 1879-05-29

body has ever yet claimed that this
provision of the Constitution au.
thorizes the President to send
troops to the polls and hold bayo.
net elections.
Hayes pretends to think that o
statute which forbids him to order
soldiers to the polls, abrldges in
some mysterious manner the power
of the Government to protect itself
or to execute its laws. Now, in
Great Britain this same law is fun
damental. No soldier or body of
soldiers can be brought within a
certain distance of any polling
place, but nobody ever imagined
that the British Government was
weakened thereby. On the con-
trary, it is strengthened, as all
Governments are strong which rest
on the assent and live in the affec-
tlOns of the people. This curious
idea of Mr.. Hayes will provoke u
smile of contempt among the free
men of old England, where the ap-
pearance of any portion of the army
at a polling place would be regard
ed as an act of treason on the part
of the Ministry by whom it was
either ordered OF permitted.
There is in the message O deal of
illogical and inconstquential twad-
die about the laws which have,
from time to time, authorized the
President to employ the armed
forces of the United States to assist
the civil authorities to execute the
laws. The sum of it all is this:
Upon the call of the Legislature or
Executive Of any State, the Presi-
dent may send the army into that
State to protect it from destruction
by invasion or insurrection. That
Is all he can do in case of resist
ance to State laws; 1t is the Begin
ming and the end of his power. But
when the laws of the United States
are opposed and obstructed
by combinations too powerful
to be dealt with by the civil
authority, he may, upon certifi-
cation of the fact, employ the
whole military force of the United
States to put down the insurrection.
But in both cases, whether the op-
position be to the laws of u State or
of the United States, the military
arm can be raised only to overcome
resistance that has reached the pro,
portions of insurrection or invasit
A Ill else Is mere abuse. But
where do we find any constitutio
al power to station soldiers at Il
polls, even in times of invasion
insurrectlon. That, at least, isl
lawful at all times and under
circumstances; and Hayes's
tence that the right to do so isr
essary to the due execution of tu,
law of the United States ia, like
Hayes himself, mere fraud.--N.
