Veto of tlio* Sn [iplcmtulni ) military Kt roimtructlon Illll, 3i) the House of Rcpreneiilalioe$ of the {failed Mute* : I return herewilh the bill cutitlcd "An act sup plementary to mi not entitled 'Au not lo pro vida lor tbo moro efficient government of tbo rubel States,*" passed on thu second day of March, 1 "ii und thu net supplementary thereto, pav < il ou tlio twenty-lbiid day or March, 1807, and will state a , Iniclly na i ossiblo kohio of tho rciiBoiiB which prevent me limn giving it my approval. This is ono of a scries or measures passed by Congress during the hut lour uiuiilhu uu the sub ject of reconstruction. Thu message reluming the net or (ho second of March 1 int utntos at length my objection? to ll:o pastago ol that measure. Tlicy apply t-quilly well to Ibu bill now boforo mo, and* I am content nierelv to refer to them and to ieilerate my conviction that they arc souud mill unanswerable-. '1 hero me some point* peculiar to this bill which I will proceed nt onco to cunsidcr. Tito Ural aootlon proposes to d?clara "(ho truo intent und meaning," in some particulars, <>r llio two prior nets upon this subject. It is declared that tbo intent of tlicso nets was? First, that thu existing governments in the.ten rebel States weru not legal Btato govorninonte," ami second, "that tin realtor said govommohte, il ( oiitinucd, worn to be continued subject in all re spects lu the military commanders ot tho respec tive diulririH, and to tho paramount authority of Congress." Congress may by a declaratory act Cx upon n prior act :i construction altogether" nt variance with tts apparent meaning, and tram tho time at loaat when such construction is fixed tbo original net will bo con.11 nod tu mean exactly what it in Htnted (o mean hy I lie declaratory slaltilo. TheiO will bo, then, lion i tin- time this liill may became n law, no doubt? no question?as tu tbo* relaliun in which i If "existing government.1!" in those States, called in the original net "the provisional governments," stand toward the military authorities. Ah tlicso relntioiiH stood before tho declaratory net, these "governments, ' it in true, were mado subject tu absolute military uutliority in many niiptn-ta.it re spects, but nut III all, the language of the act be in:: "subject to tbo military authority of tho United states, us hereinafter prescribed." isy tho sixth beeliun of thu original act these governments wcro inadc, "id all respects, subject lo the paramount authority of the United Slates." Now, by tins declaratory act it appears that Congress did nut, by the original net, intend to limit tlio military authority to any particulars or subjects therein " prescribed," but meant to make it universal. Thus over all thoso ten Slates this militnry government Is nnw declared to have un limited' uutliority. It is no longer cot fined lo the preservation of tho publie peace, the administration of criminal law, the registration of votent, and tlio superintendence of elections, but "in all respecta" it IH ussorlod to bo paramount tu the existing civil governments. It is impossible to conceive any elate- of society moro intolerable than this, and yet it is to this condition that twelvo in?lions of American citizens aro reduced by llio Congress of tlio United State,. Over every Tout of tho immense territory occupied hv Iheso American citizens, tho Constitution ui tho United States is theoretically in full oper.ition. It binds all tho pooplo there, and should protect them, yet thoy are denied over}" ono ot its sacred guar antees. ? Ol what avail will it be to anvonoof these ht-m th orn people, whim seized by a lilt- of soldiers, toutik for the cause of arrest, or for thu production of tho warrant? Ot wha*. avail to ask fur tbo privilege of bail when in militaiy custody, which knows no knell thing as bail? Of what avail to demain! n trial by jury, process for witnesses, a copy lor tho indictment, tho privilege of counsel, or that great er pn vi luge, tho writ of habeas corpus? The volo of the original net of Iho 2d of March was based un two distinct grounds?tbo interfer ence ut Congress in matters strictly appertaining to tho ro lerved powers ol tho States and tho es tablishment of military tribunals fur tho trial of citizens in times of peace. Tho impartial reader of that mcusago will understand that all it con tuius with leaped to military despotism and mar tial law lias rcfcrcuco especially to tho fearful power conferred on tho district commanders lo dieplaco tbu criminnl courts and assume jurisdic tion to try ami to punish by military boards; that, potentially, tho suspension uf habeas corpus was martial law and military despotism. Tho act now bet?re ino not only docfaros that (ho intent was to confer such military authority, but a'sO to confer unlimited military authority over all tho othor colitis of 'ho Statu and overall tho offices of tho Slat , legislative, executive and judicial. Not coutout with tho general grant of power, Congre.-s, in thu second section of thu bill, apeci lieaity gives tu each military commander iho pow er "tu suspend or remove bom cilice, or from the perfurmaiico of ? flicial duties 'aud tho exercise uf official powers, anv uflicer or person holding or cxercising. or professing to hold and oxcrch>o any civil or military office or duty in such district, un der any power, election, nppuiutmont, or authority derived liom, or grained by, or claimed under any Bu-callcd Statu or the government (hcroof, ur any municipal ur other division liieren). " A power that hitherto all tlio departments of (ho Federal Ooverumonb, ncling in coiicort or| sepa rately, have not dared to exurciso is horo attempt ed to h'j ( i silt : rod on n subordinate luilitiry offi cer. To him, as n military officer of tho Federal Government, is givon tho power, supported by " a sufficient military lorco," to romoto every civil uflicer of the btato. What next? Tho division communier wtio bus thus dopoaod a tiivil offioor is lu till the vacancy by the detail of an officer ur soldier of tlio army, or by tbo appointment of " boiuo other person." Tnis military appoint?e whether an officer, a soldier, or "some ulhor person," (s to perform tbo duties of such officer or person so suspendod or removed. In other words an officer or uoldior of tbo lurmy is thus transformed into a civil officer. Ho may bo a govoruor, a legislator, or a judge. Huwuver unlit bo may doom hunuoli lor auch oivil duties, bo must obey tho ordor. Tho officer of tho army must, it ' doluil?d," no upon tho supremo bench of tho Stato win flu- samo prompt obo, diunco as if he woro detailed to go upon a court martial. Tho soldier, if detailed to act as a Justice of tho p. ace, must obey as quickly us if he were dulailcu lor piuhot duty. What is the character of st'oh a military oivil officer? Thb bill declares that lie shall inrfoim the dutioa ol tho "ivil uffleo to which do is detailed. - It iu clear, however, that ho does nut losu Iiis ppsU tion in Iho military service. Ho is still on officer or soldier uf tho army; hois still subject to tho rules ai d i, guhtinjiii which govern it, and must yiold due deference, respect and obedience to, ward his suporiors. Tho clear intent, of this sec tion is that tlio officer or soldier detailed to UU a civil office, must oxueuto his duties according to tho laws of the State. If bo iu appointed a Oovrnior of a Rlata, ho is to rxeciltu thu duties as provided by tho laws of that State, and fur tho timo being his military charac ter is to bo ausponded in his new civil capacity, if lu is appointed a Stato treasurer ho must at onco nssituio the custody and disbursement of the funds or tho State, and must perform thoso duties pro? ci.-(.-!} according to tho laws of tho Stato ; for ho is entrusted with no ot'.. official duty or other oll.mal power. Upldi' g 'nooffice, of treasurer and utitruuted with fund ', it batftpOfM that bo ia re quired by tho Stair i to enter into bond with security and to tal i oath of of??e, yot from the beginning of tbo bill to tho ond thoro is no pro vision fur and bond or oath of office or lor any ein glu qualification ro paired under tho.Si ate law, such as rcbidonce, citizenship, or anything else, - Tho only oatu is Hint provided fur in tho iniilii section, by the terms of which every ono dotni'.Od "lo tako nnd lo subscribe tho oath of ofiico presoribed by law for ufllcers uf tho United Statoa." Thus an officer of thu army of tho United States, detailed to (ill a civil ofiico in ono of thoso States, gives no offloia! bon-1 nnd takes no official oath fur tho por to Moan ce of his now duties, n s ft civil officer of tho Stato ; ho only takes tho samo oath wnloli ho had already taken as u military officer of tho United Status, Ho is, ut least a military officer perform ing civil duties, and tbo authority under which ho acts is Federal authority only, and tho Inevitable result is that tbo F?d?ral Uovomniont, by tbo I agency ot its own sworn officers, in oOVct, assumes the Civil government ur tho States. A singular conti ndiolion is apparent horo. Con gress declares Micro local Slate governments to bo illegal g?voriiitiunts, and then provides that those illegal governments shall bo carried on by F?deral ois. ere, win> arc lo iiorlorm tho very duties im posed o.i its uwn officers by this illegal Stato au thority. It certainly would ho a novel spootaoio If Congress should attempt to carry on ? logal Stato government by tho ogonoy of.ita own offioora. It is et m me. sinnig? th it Congress attempts to sus tain aud carry on an illegal Stato government by the same i cdorol agency. In tins connection I must call attention to tho lOlh nnd 11th sections of tho bill, which provide that nono of tho officer) or appointees of these milite / commandors. "shall bo bound in his ne lion ny any opinion ui any pivil officer pf tbo Dnlt ted States,''bjii) tlint all thu provisions of tho apt "shall bo continue J literally to tbo end, that all tho intents thereof may bo fully and perfectly carried uut." It tcc?ns Congress supposed that this bill might require construction, and thoy fix, therefore, tho rule to be applied. Hut where is tllO OOuatiaoUop to conic from? Coi- U;. " ono can bo inoro in want of instruction th.. *qf ' Her or nn officer of tlio nnnv detailed for a civ.. with tlio du ties of which, iicrliaps tho -<ortatit in a Btale, in altogether unfamiliar. This hill says ho shall not bo boon, -olion by tho opinion of any civil officer of * iled Blnles. The duties of tho oflico aro alu. /llier civil; hut when hn nshs for an opinion ho can only I ash the opinion of another military officer, who, porlups, understands as liltlo of his duties as he I does luniscir; and as to his action," ho is nuswor ablo to tho tuilitarv authority, anil to tlio military I authority alone. Slricltv nu opinion of any civil I officer, other than a Judge, has a binding force, lint theso military appointees would not ho hound oven by ? judicial opinion. Thny niivtht very well Bay, oven w.icn their action is in conflict with tho Supremo Court of tho United States, "that Court is composed of civil officers of tho United Stales, and wo uro not bound to conform our action tu any opinion of anv such authorilv." Tho bill and the nets to which it is supnlenion tnry aro all founded upon tho assumption that tho ten communities nro not Statos, und that their os- I istiug governments aro not legal. Throughout tho legislation upon this subject thov urn called "rebel Hinten,'' and in this pariiculnr lull they nro denominated "so-called NlutcH," and tho voice of I illegality is declared to pervado nil of them. Tho I obhgadoiiH of consistency buul the legislative body I as wall a I tho individuals who compose it. It is I now too lute to hay that theso (en political com minute .1 pre not States of this Union. I JJccl.11 niions to (ho contrary, mudoiii those their I acts, nro contradicted again und again by there- I pe.-.ted acts of legislation enacted by Congo, en I from tho year ISO! to tho year I81.7. liming Huit I period, while thoeo States were in active rekcl- I linn, nuil after that I'OJolliou wns brought to a I close, they have been ngaiu ami again recognized I as States of the Union. llej>resentntion baa been apport I- ned to Ihoin as Statos. They havo Icon I ih 1 .dei! into judicial districts for tlio holding of I district and circuit courte or tho United Statos, as I Slat s of tho Union can only bi distributed. Tho last act on this subject was passed July 2.1, I 18IU!, by which every ouu or these ten Statos' was I arranged.into districts and circuits. .They havo been called ttiiou by Congress to act through thcr L?gislature? upon lit least Lwo amendments to tbo I Constitution - of tho Uni ted Slates. An Stales I they havo ratified ono a 111 end nient, which required I tlio voto of twontv-sov ni States of tlio thirty-six I thon composing tlio Union. Whon tho requisite tuent -.-even votes woro given in favor 01 that I ainendmenl?seven of which votes wnro given by I soveli of Iheso Slates?it was proclaimed to ho a I part oi tho Consiitutiou of tho United Statos, ami slavery wns declared not longer to oxist in Hie United States or any placo subject to their juris diction. If the. 0 sevoil Stutes wcro not local States of tho Union, iL follows as tho inevitable I couscqucuco that in soino of tho States slavery I vet exists. It docs not exist in these seven States, for they havo abolished it also in their own Stato Const tutio' s ; but Kentucky not having dono re, I it would still romain in that State. Hut, in truth, if this assumption that theso States havo no legal I Slalo Oovernnienls bo true, thou tho ahuhtion uf 1 slavery by th?so illegal covcrnmonts binds no I one, lor Congress now denies to theso States (lie I power to abolish slavery by donving to them tho newer to elect a legal Slate J.ogistaiuro, or to h .une a constitution for any purpose, oven for such a purpose as tho abolition of slavery. As to tho other coustilutionalnmondmcnt having I reference to sufTmgc, it happens that these States have not iicct pled it. Thu confcquenco is that it I has noror been proclaimed or understood, oven by I Congress, to bo n part of tho Constitution of tlio I United St..les. Thu Setiato of tho United States I has repeatedly givon its sanction to tho appoint-1 meut of judges, district ntlornoyn and marshals, hu-every nue m Iheso States ; and yet if they aro not legal Stales not 0110 of thusu judges is atithur- I ized to hold a court. So, too, both Houses of Con- I crcee havo passed appropriation bills to pay all these judtres, attorneys and officcra ot thu United I States lor xercising thoir luuutiona in theso States, Again, in thu tnochinciy or thu internal I revenue laws all of those States aro districted null as "Territories' hut na "States." So much for emit unions legislative- recognition. I Thu instance.! cited, however, fall sr.ort of all that might be cnumnratoU. Executive recognition, ns ia well known, his I been frequent and unwnvonug. Thu same may I bo said ns to the judicial recognition, through tli? I Supremo Coutt of tho United Stales. That august tribunal, from first to last, in the administration I of its duties in bano und upon the circuit, has I norer failed to rccorruizo theso ton communities as legal States of tho Union, Tho cases depending in that court upon appeal and writ of error from < theso States, w.icn tlio rebellion bogan, havo not I been dismissed upon any idoa of tho cessation of J.iribdirjtioii. They wcro carefully continued rroui 11 term to term until tho rebellion was entirely oub-11 dtu'd and peace re-established, nud tins wcro call ed for argument and consideration as if no insur-1 rection hud iutorvonod. Now caeca, occurring 11 since the rebellion, havo coma from these State.t 1 bolora that court by writ of error and appeal, and 1, oven by original milt, whero only u Stale can bring such a suit. Thosct cases nro entertained by that 1 tribunal in tho exorcise of its acht owlcdged juris-1 diclion, which could not attach to them if thoy huil cotuo from any political body other than a 11 .Sliiio of tho Union. Finally, in tho allotment ol tip ir circuits, made by tho Judges at iho Decem ber term, lsn'i. ovcry 0110 of theso Statos ib put on I ' the samo footing of h gab ty with all the other I ; States of tho Union. Virginia and No: th Caro- I j Una, being a part of tho Fourth Circuit, nro allot- I to! to the Chief Justice. South Carolina, Georgia, I Alabama, Mitteissiopi mid Florida, constituted the 11 Fifth Circuit, aud was allotted to tho lato Mr, Jnatico Wayne. Louisiana, Arkansas and Texas, are allotted to tho Sixth Judicial Circuit, as to winch there is a vacancy on tho bench. 'I he Chn-f Justice, in (he exercise of his circuit I duties, htiB rocoutly hold a circuit Court In tho , State of North Carolina. If Noith Carolina is not a Stato of this Union, tho Chief J ustico had no authority to hold a conrt there, nud ovcry order, judgment and dcorco rendered bv him in that court Were coram non judice and void. Another ground on which these reconstruction I acts aro attempted to bo sustained is this: That Ihceo ten Slates aro eonquorci. territory) that the constitutional relation in wl. jli Ihcy stood as 1 States towards the Federal Gnvoruuieiit prior to tho rebellion le s given plsro to n new relation; that this territory is a conquered country, und I their citizens n conquered people; and thai in this I now relation Congress can govern them by military I power. A titlo by conquest stands on clear ground. It I is a now title acquire.1 by war. It applies milv to territory, lor goods or mineable things regularly captured in war uro called "booty,"or if taken by I individual boldiors "p'.undor."

These lands wo may olaim to hold by conquest. Aa to all other laud or territory, whether belonging I to t .0 Stato or to individuals*, tho F?deral Govern ment lins now 110 moi o title ot right to it Ulan It had before the rebellion, Over our forts, arsenals, navy y niais, eu s truu house 1 ni ill Other Federal prop- I orto situate in these States wo now hold, not by tho tit 0 of conquest, but by our old titlo, acquired by purchase or condemnation for public uso with compensation to former ownore, VVo havo not I conquered thvso places, but have simply "roDoo- I Hcssud" them. If wo require more, bites for forts, custom houses or other public uao, wo must no Suiro the titlo to them by purchase or appropria on in tho regular modo.

Too Federal courts ait In Conrt houses owned or leased by tho United Statos, not in tho cour1 houses of tho Slates. Tho United States pays oaeh of thcao States for tho uso of Its jails. Finally, tho United Stales lovies its direct taxes and i(a internal revenue upon tho property I in thOBQ States, including tbo productions or the lauds within thoir territorial limits?not by way of levy and contribution in tho character of a con 3norer, bnt in the regular way of taxation, undor I 10 samo laws which apply to all tho other Hintes I of tl|Q Union, From Mr-t to lost, during tho rebellion and siuce, tho tit.e of each of theso Slates to tho lands and publie buildings owned by thotn ha i never I been disturbed, and not a foot of it has over bcon acquired by tho United States oven under a titlo I by confiscation, and not a foot of it has over be: 11 t?xed under Federal law. In conclusion I must respectfully ask tho atton- I tion ot Couaresa to tho consideration of one more I quest inn arising under this bill. It vesta in tho | military commander, subject only to tho approval of tho General of the army of tho United Hintes, an unlimited powor to romovo from oflico any civil or military officer in oaoh of theso ton States, and tho im (her power, subject to tho enmu approval, to dotr.il or appoint any inilitnry officer or soldior of tho United States to pet toi m dut ion of tbo officer so rornovod. and to till all tho vacancies oc oas'.unci in thoso SLaLcs by death, resignation or otherwise. Tho military appolntoo thus required to perform tho duties of a oivil officer according lo tbo laws of tho Stato, and an such required to tatto an oath, is, for tho timo being, a civ it officer. - What is ins character? Is ho a cl/il officor of the Stato or a civil officer of the United Hintes ? If ho is a oivil officor of tho State, whoro is tbo Federal power, undor ,ur Constitution, which authorizes hn ap pointment by any Federal officor? If, ho.vovor.ho is to bo considered a civil officor oi tho United States, ns his appointment and oath would eoom in indicate, whero ia tho authority for bin appoint ment vested by tho Constitution? Tho power of appointment of all officopi of ti.o United Htatos, civil or military, whoro not provided for in the Constitution, is vested in the President by and with tho advico and confient of tho Sonato, with this exception?that Congress may by law vest tbo appointment of stich inferior officers as thoy think proper In tho Preside ,t alono, in tlio courts of law. or in tho bends o. Uopnrtmonls, Hot tnlH bill, if theiio arc to be considered, inferior officers within tho meaning of the Const it 11 tion, docs not provido for thoir appoint mont by tho Pr?sidant alono, or Iho courts of law, or by tho hoada of departments, but vests tho appointment in ono subordinate exccutivo officer) So that if wo put thu question and fia tho character of tho n Hilary nppoin'oo either way, tbla provision of tho bill ia equally 0p poaod to tho Constitution, Tako tho caso-of a aoldlor or offioor appointed to perform tho oflico ot Judge in ono of ibcno Ht*.tes, andaa truph to administer tho uropor laws of the Stale. Whero is the authority lo be found In tho ?pn?tttquo j for yea ting in a military or an execu tive offioor airiot judicial functions 10 bo oxeiclscd under Htate law? It has boon again and again de cided by tbo Supremo Court of (ho United States that aoLa of Congress which havo attempted to vest oxoculiYO powers in the judicial covrta, or Judges of tho United Htatos, are uqt warranted by tho Constitute, ! , '. e ,1 *.! 1. ' !.".*' :,^if>!- "i If Congress cannot clollio a JndgO with merely oxecutivo dutiCB, howcanihov clutlio an officer or soldier of tho nnny with juihcinl duties over cil izoiib of tho United States who uro nut ni tho mili tary or i.avnl service? So loo, it baa boon ropcat odly ducided that Congress cannot rcquiro :, state oflicur, executivo or jttdicinl, la perform any duty enjoined upon him oy a law of the United State". How, then, can Congres* confer power upon an executive ofllcor or the United States to perform such diitios in a State? If Congress could not vest in ? judge of une of theso Stuten anv jndieial au thority under tho United Slate*, by direct enact* mont, how can it accomplish thu sn'iuo thing indi rectly, by removing ihn Stilo Juilgoand putting an ofliccr of tho United States iu his place? To mo theso consideration* are conelusivo of tho iincoustitutinnnlity of this part of tho bill now before me, and X earnestly commend their consid eration to tho delibernto judgiiio',1 of Congress. Within a period lets than n yi'itr the legislation of Congresa fins attempted to atr.p the Incentive Department of the UovorMMOUt of e eue of its | esscntinl powers, The Constitutum nid I ho oath provided to it ileTOlre npou the President the power und tlio duly to too that the laws tire faith Inlly executed. The Constitution, in order to carry ont this power, gives him the choice 61 the agents, und makes thuiu subject to his control un I supervision, lint 111 the execution ?f these laws tho coiwtitultonal obligation upon lite I're.-itlent remains, hut tho power to exorcise that constitu tional duty is elTeetuallv token away. The military commander is. as to tho powor Of appoitllMUItt, made to take the place of tnu l* ? aidont, and Lie tiener.tl of tho nnny (he pluen of |hu Senate, and I any nlteiupt on tho pait ol the ITcsiounl to as- | sort his own canatitutlott?l power may, Blister pre tence of law, he met by official iimiiboidioalion. It is to be fumed that lUoM military nflicciti. look ing to thu authority given by these law?, rather Ilm 11 to the loiter of the Coubtitutiun, will recog ni/.o no uiitboiity but Iho commander ul tho dis tri ( and the Oettern! of tho army. If there woi'o uu othor objection than this to this proposed legislation, it would bo sufficient. While I huld tho chief executivo authority uf tho United Slates, while tho obligation rests upon ma to Ken (hat nil tho laws aro lailhfully uxocuted, 1 can never wittingly surrender thai trust, or the power given lor its execution. I can never givo my assent to ho mado lo.ipun uiblo for the luithful execution of laws and at the s une timo surrender that trust and the powers which accompany it to any othor executive oillccr, high or low, ur lu nny number of executive ollicers. If this ICxccutiVu trust, vested by tho Constitu tion in Iho President, is to bo taken from him and vested iu a subordinate oMoer, tho leiponmbdtty will ho with Congress in clutlung the subordinate with unconstitutional power, and with tho ollicor who assumes its oxeruisc. This iuterrurunco with tho canatituti 11ml authority of tho I Executivo department is an evil that will Inevitably sap tho foundations of our fi dural system, hut it is nut the worst evil uf this legislation. It is a great publie wrong to lake (rum tho 'President pour.n conferred upon him alunu by tho Constitution, bnt tho wrong is more llagruut autl moro dangerous wlton thu powers bo taken from tho President are conferred up.01 subordinate executive ofticern, and especially U|x>n military ofllcura.

Tlio remedy, uovertholcas. is in their hands; it in to be found in tho ballot, and iu a suro ono, if not controlled by fined, overawed hy arbi (rary powor, or from apathy on their part too long delayed. With abiding confidence in thoir pnb minim, wisdom and integrity, I am still hope ful of tho future, and that in the end the rod of 1 1 lonp.itis 111 will be broken, tho aimed rule of powor bo lifted front tho nocks of tho people, and thu principles or a violated Constitution preaorved.
