THE NEW NULLIFICATION.
Speech of Hon. James A. Garfield, of
Ohio, in the House of ltepresenta
tites, March 17, 1S80.
Mr. Garfield. The discussion of
this bill has concentrated upon two
topics the public printing and the
election laws. On the subject of the
public printing I shall take no time,
except to say this: After one of the
saddest histories in the ezperience of
this Government with the old con
tract system, which broke down by
the weight of Its own corruption, it
was developed and proved beyond
any controversy that in the four yeare
preceding the administration of Abra
ham Lincoln, out of the private prof
its on the puLlio printing and bind
ing, the sum of S100.000 was contrib
uted by the Public Printer for politi
cal purposes, mainly to carry the
democratic elections in Pennsylva
nia; and that vast contribution did
not exhaust the profits of the Publio
Printer out of the Government. This
exposure destroyed the wre'ehed con
tract system, and thereafter the Gov
ernment itself assumed the responsi
bility of the work. At first the Sen
ate or the House of Representatives
elected a Printer, as they had a mani
fest right to do under the clause of
the Constitution which gives each
House the power to elect its own offi
cers. But when by and by the office
grew into a great national establish
ment, in which all the printing
and binding fur all the departments
of the Government was done, It be
came manifest that the Senate was
exercising a power of appoiutment
unwarrauled by the Constitution;
and in the year 1S74. on motion of Mr.
Hale, of New York, a resolution was
adopted by a two-thirds vote suspend
ing the rules of the House and mak
ing in order on a eundry civil service
appropriation hill an amendment to
change the law and make the Printer
an officer of the United States, to be
appointed by the President and con
firmed hj' the Senate. I had charge
of that bill and voted for the amend
ment, as did nearly all m3 associates,
and it was adopted by the almost
unanimous vote of this House, both
parties uniting in declaring that the
old law was unconstitutional, and
that experience had proved it unwise;
republicans taking their share of re
sponsibility for their own blunders
and -mistakes; all agreeing that the
law ought to conform to the Constitu
tion. When the democratic party came
Into power in 1876 they amended that
law by making it take effect immedi
ately. We had made it take effect
when a vacancy should occur in the
office of Puhlic Printer. In 1876 the
law was so changed as to make It take
effect immediately. And that passed
by the general consent of both part
ies. The proposition now is to go
back, and, in the face of our past ex
perience, make a change in this law
which will not affect in anj' way the
qneetion of economy, which will not
change one iota of the machinery of
the management of the public print
ing, and does not pretend to be in the
direction of economy; but merely
abolish a constitutional office and cre
ates an unconstitutional one. takes
the appointing power out of the
hands of the Presidentand unlawful
ly places it in the bands of the House,
merely to get some democrat Into of
fice. This Is to be done for no public
good, to satisfy the demands of party
hunger. I have no doubt that this
amendment will be, as it certainly
ought to be, ruled out of order, and I
will waste no further words in discus
sing it.
CONTEMNING THE SUPREME COURT
DECISION.
I will now call attention, during
the short time left me, to what I con
elder a matter of far greater moment.
My colleaguer Mr. McMahon. In his
speeoh opening the diseupslon upon
this bill, made the announcement in
eubstauce, and it remains uncontra
dicted and not protested against by
any one on this side of the House,
first, that "we have not hitherto
made, do not in this bill, mid wMI not
in any future bill, make any approprl-
atiorr whatever for supervisors or epee-
ial deputy marshals, so far as they
have to do with congressional eleo-
tions.,r He asserts that it waB not
proper for any officer of Ihegovern
menttonppoint speeialdeputy marsh
als when no appropriation bad been
made for that specific purpose.
- Then further on he declares I
quote from his printed speech :
"And I desire to eay- that because
the Supreme Court of the United
States has decided that the eleotiou
law is constitutional by a sort of eight-,by-aeven
deoieion and I mean by
that a division, apparently according
to party linei? (without Jmpngulag
the good faith of any member of the
Supreme Court, but to show how dif
ferently a legal question may appear
to persons who have been educated in
different political schools) that al
though that court has decided the
constitutionality of the law, that
when we come, as legislator, to ap
propriate money it is our duty to say,
is this law constitutional? or, if con
stitutional, la it a good law, and are
we bound to appropriate money for
It?"
He undertaken, as wil be seen, to
throw contempt on that decision by
styling it "a sort of eight-by-Beven
decision." I remind him that it is a
seven-to-two decision, having been
adopted by a larger number of the
members of the court than the ma
jority of the decisions of that tribu
nal. It is a decision of a broad,
sweeping character, and declares that
Congress may take the whole control
of congressional elections, or a partial
control, as they choose ; that the elec
tion law as it stands on the national
statute-book Is the supreme law of the
land on that subject.
More than that: the Supreme Court,
not only in this case but in other re
cent oases, has made a declaration
which ought to be engraven upon the
minds and hearts of all the people of
this country. And this 1b Its sub
stance: "That a law of Congress interpene
trates and becomes a part of every
law of every State of this Union to
which its subject matter is applicable,
and is binding upon all people on ev
ery foot of our soil. This is the voice
of the Constitution."
Now, therefore, under this decision
the election laws of the United StateB
are the laws of every State of this
Union. No judge of election, no State
officer or other persons connected
with any congressional elections, no
elector who offers his ballot at any
such election, can with impunity lift
his hand or do any act against any of
the provisions of this law. They rest
down upon congressional elections in
every State like the "casing air,"
broad and general, protecting with
their dignify every act and penetrat
ing with their authority every func
tion of congressional elections. They
are the supreme law of the land on
that subject.
But now a Representative, speak
ing for the democratic party in this
House, rises, not with the plea which
he could have made with some show
of plausibility last year, that the law
is unconstitutional and that therefore
they would not. enforce it but, with
a constitutional law, declared so by
the Supreme Court, covering him and
filling the Republic from end to end,
reaching everywhere and covering ev
ery foot of our soli where a congress
ional election can he held, he rise- in
his place and declares that the demo
cratic party will not execute that law
nor permit it to be obeyed.
We who are the sworn law-makers
of the nation, anil ought to be exam
ampleB of respect for and obedience to
the law we who before we took our
first step in legislation swore before
God and our country that we would
support the supreme law of the land
we are now invited to become con
spicuous leaders in the violation of
the law. My colleague announces his
purpose to break the law and invites
Congress to follow him iu his assault
upon it.
Mr. Chairman, by far the most
formidable dancer that threatens the
Republic to-day is the epirit of law
breaking whioh shows itself in mans
turbulent and alarming manifesta
tions. The people of the Pacific Coast,
after two years of wrestling with the
spirit of communism in the city of
San Francisco, have finally grappled
with this lawless spfrit, and the lead
er of it was yesterday sentenced to
penal servitude as a violater of the
law. But what can we say to Dennis
Kearney and his associates if to-day
we announce ourselves the foremost
law-breakers of the country and set an
example to all the turbulent and vic
ious elements of disorder to follow us?
THE ELECTION LAWS MANDATORY.
My colleague Mr. McMahon trieB
to shield bis violation of the law be
hind a section of the statutes which
provides that no disbursing or other
officer shall make any contract in
volving the expenditure of money be
yond what is appropriated for the pur
pose. I answer that I hold in my
hand a later law, a later statute,
which governs the restrictive law of
which he speaks, which governs him
and governs the courts. It is the elec
tion law itself. I invite attention
briefly to its substance. SectionaSOll
and 2012 of the Revised Statutes pro
vides that upon the application of any
two catizne of any city of more than
twenty thousand inhabitants to have
the election guarded and scrntinized,
the judge of the circuit court of the
United States shall hold hit court
(open during the ten da3's preceding
t0B election. The law commands the
judge of the court fo ho do.
Tfl ,ha nno nnrt frntn , ..,.
, ., ... .,-"!. .!
nun nuiu iiuic n iiujc:, iiicjuucQuau
appoint, and, under the seal of the
court, shall commission two citizens
of different political parties who are
voters within the precinct where they
reside, to he supervisors of the eleo-
tion. Thar law Is mandatory upon
the judge. Should he refuse to obey
be can be impeached of high crimes'
and misdemeanors in office Hemust
not stop to inquire whether an appro
priation has been made to pay these
supervisors. The rights of citizens
areinvolved ;.npon their application
the judge must act. But what then?
Again, section 2021 provides that on
the application of two citizens tho
marshal of the United States shall ap
point special deputy marshals to pro
teot the supervisors in the exeoutlon
of their duty. And the law is manda
tory upon the marshal. He must
obey it under the pains and penalties
of the law. What then? When the
supervisors and special deputy marsh
als have been appointed they find
their duties plainly prescribed in the
law. And then section 5521 provides
that if they neglect or refuse to per
form fully all these duties enjoined
upon them, they are liable to fine and
imprisonment. They cannot excuse
their neglect by Baying, "We will not
act because Congress has not appro
priated the money to pay us." All
these officers are confronted by the
imperial command of the law first
to the judge and marshal to appoint,
then to the supervisor and deputy
marshal to act, aud to act under the
pains and penalties of fine and im
prisonment. Impeachment enforces
the obedience of the judge; fine and
imprisonment the obedience of the
supervisors and deputy marshals.
Now oo tries one other mandatory
order: in the last section of this long
chapter of legislation the majestic
command of the law is addressed both
to Congress and the Treasury. It de
clares that there "shall be paid" out
of the Treasury $5 per day to these of
ficers as compensation for their servi
ces. Here too the law is equally im
perious and mandatory ; it addresses
itself to the conscience of every mem
ber of this House, with only this dif
ference: we cannot be Impeached for
disobedience; we cannot be fined or
locked up in the penitentiary for
voting "no," and refusing the appro
priation; we oannot be fined or im
prisoned if we refuse to do our duty.
And so, shielded by the immunity of
his privilege, as a representative, my
colleague sets the example to all offi
cers and all people of deliberately and
with clear-sighted purposes violating
the law of the land.
Thus he seeks to nullify the law.
Thus he hopes to thwart the nation's
"collected will." Does my colleague
reflect that iu doing this be runs the
riek of vitiating every national elec
tion ? Suppose his lead he followed,
and the demand of citizens for super
visors and marshals Is made and re
fused hecause an appropriation has
not been voted. Does he pot see the
possibility of vitiating every election
held where fraud aud violence are not
suppressed and the law has not been
compiled with ? Yet he would risk
the validity of all congressional elec
tions of the United States ; rather
than abandon his party'B purpose he
would make Congrees the chief of the
law breakers of the land.
Mr. Chairman, when I took my seat
as a member of this House. I took it
with all the responsibilities which the
place brought upon me ; and among
others was my duty to keep the obli
gations of the law. Wrhero the law
speaks in mandatory terms to every
body else and then to me, I should
deem itcowardlv and dishonorable If
I should skulk behind my legislative
privilege for the purpose of disobey
ing and brenkiug the supreme law of
the land. Applause.
THE PRESENT ISSUE.
The issue now made is somewhat
different from that of the last session,
but, in my judgment. It is not less sig
nificant and dangerouB. I would
gladly waive any party advantage
which this controversy might give for
the Bake of that calm and settled
peace which would reign in this Hall
if we all obeyed the law. But if the
leaders on the other side are still de
termined to rush upon their fate by
forcing upon the country tbia last is
suethat because the democratic par
ty happen not to like a law they will
not obey it hecause they happen not
to approve of the Bpirlt and character
of a law, they wiil not let it be execu
ted I pay to gentlemen on the other
side, if you are determined to make
such an issue, it Is high time that the
American people should know it.
Here is the volume of our laws.
More sacred than the twelve tableB of
Rome, this rook of the law rises in
monumental grandeur Hike above
the people and the President, above
the courts, above Congress, command
ing everywhere reverence and obedi
ence to its supreme authority. Yet
the dominant party in this House
virtually declares that "any part of
this volume that we do not like and
cannot repeal we will disobey. We
have tried to repeal these election
lawB; we have failed because we bad
not the constitutional power to de
stroy them ; the Constitution says
they shall stand iu their authority
and power; but we, the democratic
party, in defiance of the Constitution,
declare that if we cannot destroy
them outright by the repeal, they
shall be left to crumble into ruin by
-wanton and lawless neglect'
Mr. Chairman, I ask gentlemen on
the other side whether they wish to
maintain this attitude in regard to
the legislation of this country? Are
they willing to Btart on a hunt
through the statutes and determine
fr themselves what they will obey
and what they will disobey? That is
tlie meaning of my colleague's speech,
If 5t means anything It means that,
He is not an old Brandenburg elector.
but an elector in this novel and mod
em sense, that he will elect whatlaws
he will obey and what he will diso
bey, and ln bo far as his power can go,
be will Infect with his spirit of dlso-
bedlence all tbe good people of this
country woo trust nlra, -.
THE DANGER OF EXAMPLE OF DISOBE--
DIENCE.
I ask gentlemen whether this Is a
time when it is safe to disregard and.
weaken the authority of law. In all
qaarters the civil society of this coun
try Is becoming honey-combed:
through and through by disintegrat
ing forces in some States by the vi
olation of contracts and the repudia
tion of debts; in others by open re
Bistanoe and defiance; in still others-
by the reekless overturning of consti
tutions and letting "the red-fool-fury
ot the Seine'' run riot among our peo
ple and build its blazing altars to the
strange gods of ruin and misrule. All
these things are shaking the good or
der of society and threatening the
foundations of our Government and
our peace. In a time like this, more
than ever before, thiB country needs a
body of law-givers elothed and in
their right minds, who have laid their
hands npon the altar of the law as Its
defenders, not its destroyers. And
yet now, in the name of party, for
some supposed party advantage, my
colleague from Ohio announces, and
no one on IiIb side has said him nay,
that they not only have not in the
past obeyed but in the future they
will not obey this law of the land1
which the Supreme Court has just
crowned with the outbority of its
sanotion. If my colleague chooses to
meet that issue, If he chooses to go to
the country with that plea, I shall re
gret it deeply for my country's sake;
but if I look only to my party's inter
est it would give me joy to engage in
such a struggle.
The contest of last autumn made
the people understand the tendencies
of gentlemen on the other Bide. Now,
this cool, calm, deliberate, assassina
tion of the law will not be tolerated.
We have bad a winter to freeze out
our passion, we have bad a summer
to thaw out onr difference, we have
bad the changing circles of the year
to bring us around to order and calm
ness, and yet all the fiery courses of
the stars seem to have shed their in
fluence on my colleague to fire him
with a more desperate madness and
drive his party on to a still sadder
fate. Applause on the republlcon
side.
I trust and believe that we may yet
find some response from the other
side of the House that will prevent
this course of procedure. If we do,
I will gladly give away any party ad
vantage for the sake of strengthening
the foundations of law and good or
der. And I therefore appeal to gen
tlemen on the other side to prevent a
disaster which their party leaders are
preparing, not for themselves alone,
but for our common country. I hope
before thiB day is over we may see
Buch a vote in this Chamber upon this
bill as will put au end to thiB misera
ble business, and cast out of these
halls the dregs of that unfortunate
and crazy extra session. Applause
on the republican side.
TTEBSTER AND HAYNE.
A
Memorable Scene in the
States Senate.
United
Aprll Atlantic.
A few days later Mr- Webster beard
his state and himself mercilesaly at
tacked by Gen. Hayne, of South Car
olina, no mean antagonist. The son
of a revolutionary hero, who had fal
len a victim to British cruelty, high
ly educated, with a slender, graceful
form, fascinating deportment, and a
well-trained, melifiuous voice, the
haughty South Carolinian entered the
lists of the political tournament like
Saladin to oppose the Yankee Coeur
de Lion.
When Mr. Webster went to the
senate chamber to reply to Gen.
Hayne, on Tuesday, January 20, 1830,
he felt himself master of the situa
tion. Always careful about bis per
sonal appearance when he was to ad
dress an audience, he wore ou that
day tho whig uniform, which bad
been copied by the revolutionary he
roes a bine coat with bright buttons.
a buff waistcoat and a high white
cravat. Neither was be insensible to
the benefits to be derived from public
ity, and he bad sent a request to Gales
to report what he had to say himself,
rather than to send one of his steno
graphers. The most graphic account
of the scene in the senate chamber
during the delivery of the speech was
subsequently written virtually from
Mr. Webster's dictation. Perhaps,
like Mr. Healey'a picture, it is rather
high colored.
Sheridan, after his forty day's prep
aration, did not commence his scath
ing impeachment of Warren Hast
ings with more confidence than was
displayed by Mr. Webster wben he
stood up, in the pride of hia man
hood, and began to address tbe inter
ested mass of talent, intelligence and
and beauty around him. A man of
commanding presence, with a well
knit, sturdy frame, swarthy features,
a broad, thoughtful forehead, courag
eous eyes gleaming from beneath
shaggy eyebrows, a quadrangular
breadth of jawbone, and a mouth
which bespoke strong will, he stood
like a sturdy Roundhead sentinel on
guard before tho gates of the consti
tution. Holding in profound con
tempt what is termed spread eagle or
atory, his only gesticulations were up
and down motions of bis arms, as If
he was beating out with sledge ham
mers his forcible ideas. His perora
tion was sublime, and every loyal
American heart has since echoed the
last words: "Liberty and Union
now and forever one and insepara-

A Rural Romance..
Concord (N. Hi) Batrlot.
MJobael Kjelley, or Miks Kelley as.
be was called was an eccentric old.
farmer living in one. of- onr- auburbaa
towns. Born of poor parents, by in
dustry and perseverance, he had be
oome possessed of one of the finest
farms In that section, of; which, he
was justly proud ; bat no prouder, was
he-than of his own physical. strength
and agility, that had assisted him. In
accumulating his property and; made
hioxa mostexcellentboxerand w.rest-.
ler, and he had a corresponding con-,
tempt for men of inferior, powers..
One spring when hejp was unusually,,
plenty, be determined to have the
farm run that year by a strong team..
So, when a man presented himself
and asked for work, after Inquirlng.of
the man as to his habits, etc., ha
would finish np by asking the man, to.
flghb.. In this way; be disposed; ofr
quite a nnmber of applicants, and)
was beginning to. despair of getting
hisstrong team. One morning na h
was standing in the barn door,, a
young man came up the r.oad. and-j.
seeing him, called out ::
Good morning, sir
'Good morning,' gruffly.
'Do yon want to hire a hand to, J
work on your farm, sfe?'
'Perhaps sot want to hire oaV?'
Yes, elr; I am looking for a job;1-
'What can you do?'
'All kinds of, farm work,, sir 1 1 wsa

Can you fight?

Can you figbfc, I say caa y&u Uok

'I don't know, sir, whether I castor

And he did try. The 0rst thing
Kelley knew he was on his baok on
the floor, with two teetb down his
throat; the next, the man was as t rid
his stomach, with a fist in each. ere,
and his bob& was bleeding. Then be.
let him up, and was just pickiug a p.
his bundle to start off, wboa he was.
called back and set to wozk, and he
proved to be as trusty aud industrious,
as he was brave. The farmer's,
daughter needed just suoh a man for
a busbnd, and now he may be aeea
any day superintending the work oa
the farm, while Father Kelley sits to
the arm chair and tells to his grand
children the story of his last fight.

We read of peculiar things bappen-
I ing in life, a wise man shonld be sur
prised at nothing. In like manner, a
comely and modest woman has often
a fortune in her face if she knowB
bow beauty should become her. To
wit: During the tronbleaome reign
of King Charles I., a country girl
came up to London in Bearoh of a
place as servant-maid ; but not suc
ceeding, she applied hereelf to carry
ing out beer from a brew-house, and
was one of tiiose then called tub wo
men. The brewer, observing a welP
looking girl in this low occupation,
took her into bis family as h!a ser
vant, and after a while, she believing
with so mooh prudence and decorum,
he married her; be died when she
was yet a young woman, and left her
a large fortune. Tbe business of the
brewery was dropped, and the young?
woman was recommended to- Mr.
Hyde as a gentleman of skill In the
law to8ettle her affairs. Hyde, (who
was afterward the great Earl of Clar
endon), finding the widow's for tan e
very considerable, married her. Of
this marriage there was no other Is
sue than a daughter, who was after
ward tbe wife of James II., and
mother of Mary and Anna, Queens of
England.
Easiness on the Brain.
One night last week tbe wife of Jus

"Hush I Don't make a noise, or

"Don't talk baok to ihe court, be

"Why, Tom, how you do take on I
What is the matter?"
"I'll send you np for Blxty days
that's what's tbe matter. Enders,

that petty larceny case. Bring np

Andjumpingoutof bed, he started
for the next room to summon a jury,
but fell over a rocking chair, barked
his shins, woke up, and asked his
wife what the dickens was the mat

Cattle similar to Sbort-bomB for

These have been crossed now by
thoroughbred Short-borns from En

from pure-breeds. The late Dr. Liv
ingstone, wben traveling some 30
years ago or more in Africa, found In
one of the districts there a distinct
breed of cattle closely resembling En
glish Short-horns in size and in all
their fine points. The probability la
that the latter may have been derived
from Importations from tbe former
