THE PxfUry nARsHAIs, MI

In its adjournment on the sixteenth Of thi
month, Congress, or at least its democrat,
majority, deserve the credit of having placed
the administration squarely son record ,
concerning the deputy marshals' bill. The
democrats first tried. by riders to appropr,a.
ton bills, to repeal the legislation which au.
thorizes the federal government to have a
finger in the pie in any election to Congress.
This attempt met with the veto because of
the %iniquitous practice of lacking legislation
Of a special nature to appropriation bills.
Not a word was said in defense of the system
under which those malshals were employed.
Indeed we were given to understand that a
bill abolishing the whole special marshal out
fit would receive the presidents signature,
as a rider to one of the appropriation bills.
Attaching very little Importance to such indi-
cations OF executive favor, the democrats
drew up another bill providing that deputy
marshals, to be or duty wherever an election
to Congress was going on, should be selected
by the courts, half from one party, half from
the other. This was surely fair enough to
satisfy any desiring fair play, but it did not
suit the republicans. 1t would be " carrying
politics into the courts "a proceeding
abhorred by the pure-souled radicals,
and the measure was vetoed. Rather
than accept all appropriation pro-
vidins for payment of deputy marshals drawn
equally from both parties, the republicans
prefer TO have their minions serve gratuitousIy,
for the sake of having the power all in their
own hanGs. This veto in effect declares that
the administration is fixed in its intention to
maintain the existing system according to
which several thousand hired dependents of
the party in power, men whose bread and
butter depends on keeping that party in pow
err, should be employed to serve as umpires IN
a case so lmpelatively demanding impartiality
and absence of bias through interest or prejn-
dice as that of a popular election. 1t declares
that the most Objectionable portion of the
legislation growing out of the war-legislation
the war, and when enacted was intended only
as a temporary eXpedlent to serve through the
period of reconstruction-it declares that thi.
legislation is to be continued in times of
peace, in times of obedience to law, all for
the sake of the iniquitous advantage 1t gives
the party in power. Here in the territories
where the beauties of the system are never
brought to our personal notice, we may take
no great interest in the matter; but it is 9TH
in the great cities of the east. There
the presence at the polls of an army of dep.
ulies is recognized as an %impudent attempt to
curtall and repress the ~cilizen's liberty of
choice. Fortunately the love of fair play is
ingrained TOO deeply in American character
for crookedness of that nature to escape con-
domination even by many of those to whose
advantage it tends. Fair minded republicans
and independents will express in the Novem-
Der elections, their censure of the system
which the democrats in congress haye been
unable to abolish. "E .. ~ ~
