The following letter of instruction from Attorney Genend Taft, which is intended to affect the elections in thc Southern States, is a menace- to the liberties of every Slute in the Union. It is the most dangerous step which has evor been taken toward?, an overthrow of every vestige of Slr te sovereignty, and the creation of a despotism in our government. When ever it becomes an admitted fact that the President can authorize.his United States marshals and their deputies, who are un der his appointment, and subject to his removal, to take control of the nation ns completely as they aro authorized to do in this letter, there will be no difficulty in proclaiming himself dictator, emperor or king, ns he may choose. Tho judg ment of the United States maranui or his deputy is made fuprcme, and when ever ho thinks that any public meeting is calculated to intimidate voters he is authorized to disperse it. All the pow ers of the State, from the Governor down, and all the United Slates troops in the vicinity are subject to his orders. The theory advanced in tho letter is not con sistent with tho form of our government, and cannot be put into execution. In deed we do not believe it was ever in .cii?c? lo be carried oui. Ii wiw simply lintended to furnish a little more grist for tho outrage mill, which ha* about ceased running. If these marshals in the South can contrive to get up some disturbance, tliey will accomplish the desired end. This letter, however, is not calculated to benefit thc Republicans with tho inde pendent voters of the North, for they aro not yet prepared to cast their liberties into thc keeping of any ono man, how ever goori and pure ho may be-much less aro they willing to confide those lib erties to the caprice of a single mau ele vated to office hy the Bolknaps, Schcnks, Ilabcocks, Grants, Mortons and Blaine: of America. Thc letter is addressed tc Gen. .Sherman, for the guidnnce ol United States Marshals, nnd is ns fol lows : j WASHINGTON, September 4,1876/ Sin-Tue laws of thc United State! having made lt my duty to oxercise gen cral direction over marshals in the man ner of the discharging of their offices. 1 have prepared for their uso this circulai letter of instructions ns to thc cominj elections, intending tho sumo also as i reply, once for all, to numerous npplica tions in like connection from private cit ?zens in various States. In tho presen condition of legislation, tho United State occupy a position toward voters am voting which varies according ns tho elec lion is for Stnle and other local officer only, or for ni un be rs of Congress nm Presidential electors. In elections a which members of tho House of Re prc sentntives are chosen, which, hy law, in elude elections at which tho electors fa President and Vice President aro np pointed, the United States secure voter against whatever, in general, hinders n prevents them from a/reo exorciso of th elective franchise; extending that car alike to tho registration lists, tho net c voting and thu personal freedom and KC curity of tho voter, nt all times, as wei against violence on account of any vol that ho may intend to givo, as agaim conspiracy, because of any, '.hut he mn already' have given. The pence of th United States, therefore, which you al to preserve and whoso violation you ni to suppress, protect, among others, th rights., preferred in tho last paraarapl and any person when by forco> violait the rights, breaks that peace, and rendel it your du'.y to arrest him, and to sut press any viots incident, or that thrcatc tho integrity of tho registration or eic? tion, to thc o.td. that tito will of tho pet pie in. euch election may he ascertained und talco effect, and that offender, ms bo brought.boforo the courts ?te punic! mont. - ivotorlou? ovor.t<j' jip several Statt which recently and id ad unusual mat nor have been publicly reproban*-?, ret der it a gravo duty ot all marsha's wli havo cause 'to apprehend a viuktion t tho peace of tho United Staten, con?cete as above with the elections, to bo ha upon tho Tuesday after tho first Liomin in November next, to be prepare to preserve and to restore sue peace. As tho chief executive officer < the United States in your district, ye will be held responsible for all brendin of the peace of tho United States whic diligence on your part might have pr vented, and for tho arrest and securir of all persons who violeto that pence 1 any of the points above euamer&led. Diligence in these matters requires, < course, that you be and continue to i present, in person or by deputy at s places of registration or election at whit you have reason to suspect that tho peai is threatened, and that whenever an ec bodiment of tho poise camitaiu* is requin to enforce the laws, such embodiment I effected. You will observe that tl "special" deputies mentioned in sectil 2,021 of the Revised Statutesrbave pee liar duties afiaifcucd-i to thedi-Htluti which btherwiso do not belong to dopu marshals. Such "special" .deputies cj be appointed only In cities of twen thousand, inhabitants or upwards; b tho duties assigned to marshals and the deputies by section 2,022. or other Ti! statutes, bolong tn all duly appoint deputies whether they foo general or ! special within tho menning of that at tho preceding sections. Deputies to di charge this latter class of duties may 1 appoipt'jd to^any nurober whatever, a cording to the 'discretion of tho marsh in all States where sheriffs baveasimil Sower. Section 2,080 hos no praotic earing upon this point in States whe no limit is imposed upon Che nppoir. ment of deputies by sheriffs, because, such States the laws of tho Uni red Stat "prior to tho 10th of Juno, 1872," lt marshals also unlimited as to the numb of their deputies.

Opinion?, page 466, May 27, 18M. 1 need bsrdly add that Ibero can be no State law or Suite official in this country who has jurisdiction to oppose you in dircharging your offici?t duties under thc laws of the United States. If such inter* i ferencc shall take place, a thing not an? ticipated, you are to disregard it entirely. Tbe laws of the United States arc su preme, ind no, consequently, istheseejsjr of officials of the United 8tates in en forcing them. Thcro is', a? virtually you have already been t*dd, no officer of a j State whom you may not by summons . embody info your own potee ; and any State pour already embodied by a sheriff will, with such sheriff, be obliged, upon your summons, to become a part of the United States ?Mine arid obey you or'your deputy, neting yirtt?r o?leii. . The respon sibility which devolves upon an officer clothed with such powers, and required to guard tho highest right of citizens corresponds in degree with those po wei . and rights, and exacts ot such officer con sideration, iutolllgeuco and courage. ; Il is proper to advise you tb.st in preparing thu circular, J baye considered tba re cent important judgments given by thu Supreme Court of tho United States upon the net* of Congres:), which regulate this general topic. I have founded thc above instructions upon these acts, as affected by such judgments, and lured, in this place, add no more than these judgment! do not concern elections for bederal of fices. You will flud apprehended in full, or by reference,such statutory provisions as it seems important that you and your deputies shall in this connection read and consider. In matters of doubt, you ara o* cuir.' n entitled to tho advice of the United States nttorneys for your district. These instructions have been rubmitted to the President and havs his approval.
