Veto of tiw' Supplementary military' Ke ' construction Ulli. ' To the /louse of lleprv8-jitlativ.es of the ITuitut Stints: I return herewith the bill cuUtlotl "An act sun nloinotitarv to on act entitled 'Au act to provide) lor the more efficient government of tho rubel State.;,'" passed on tho Second day of March, lbli7. and the net supplementary thereto, passed on the Iwenty-tliiid day of March, 1K-.V, and will stnlu a-, briefly as 1 ossibio eonio of tliu reasons which prevent "mu liom giving it my approval. This is one of n ncrics of 1nea.s1r.es passed by Congrcsa during the last lour mouths ou the sub ject of recoiihtruclion. The message rcturniug the act of Iho second of Mnreh lust slates at length my objections to tbo pastngo of that measure. Tlicy apply equilly well to the hill now boToro me, and. I am coulent merely to refer to them and to rcilerato my conviction tfiut they aro sound and unanswerable. i here are somo points peculiar to Ibis bill which I will proceed at onco to consider. The t'n> 1 uoullon propose) to dcclaro "tlio tnio i lent 11111I meaning," in koiiio particulars, of Iho iJtO prior nets nimm this i.ubjeet. It is declared that llio intent olthoso nein was First, that tho existing governments in the ton "rebel Slntcii v.eve not legal State govornmcnla," mid tccoiid, "that Ihercaftjr said governments,, il continued, vre re to bu euntinued subject in nil re- I npects to tliu military commntiduru ol tbo respec tive districts, anil to the paramount authority of Coi.greBs." Congress may liy a declaratory act fix upon a prior net :i construction altogether at vnfMUOO with its apparent mealing, and iront the time at leant . when such construction is fixed the original net will bo ctuistriiod to mean exactly what it is stated to mean by the declaratory statute. Thetc will be, tiiuii. from (be time this bill may lico mie n law, no doubt? no question?as to tho'relation in wliiclt the "existing governments" in Iho-e States, called in the original net "the provisional governments," stand toward the military authorities. Ah these relations it.I before tliu declaratory act. llicso "governments, ' it is true, wove made ntibjeH to absolut!! military authority in many important re spects, but nut in nil, (liu language of the act be ing ''subject to the military authority of tho United States, as hereinafter prescribed." liy tho sixth seel loti of the original act these governments were Uiailc, "in all respects, subject to tho paramount authority uf llio I'm led States." Now, by this declaratory net it appears that Congio.-s did not, by tlio original act, intend to limit tho military uutliontv to any particulars or Hitlijcc'u therein " proscribed," hut meant to mobo it universal. Thus over nil theso ten States tliis military government is now declared to have un limited authority. It is no longer cm fined to the preservation of tl?c public peace, the administration ofcrimiual law, tbo registration of voters, and tho tuptriiueiideiic of elections, but "in nil respects" it is asserted to bo paramount tu the oxisting civil governments. It is impossible to conceive any state of society motu intolerable than this, and yet it is to this condition I bat twelve millions of Atucrican citizens nro reduced by the Congress of tlio United State 1. (Ivor every foot of Iho iiumctiso territory occupied by lliuso American cilizons, tho Constitution oi'tlio United States Is theoretically iti full operation. It biuds all tha people there, and should protect tlieni, yet they aro denied every 011a of its soared guar antees. ? Ol what avail will it bo to anyone of tliC90 South ern people, when seized by a flic of soldiers, to ask Tor the cause of arrest, or for the production of tho warrant? Ol wha' avail to ask for tbo privilege of bail H'lien in uiililaiy custody, which knows no i'mii tiling as bail? Of what avail to demand a trial by jury, process for witnesses, a copy iur tho indict Vent ', the privilege of counsel, or that great er privilege, tlio writ of habeas corpus* The veto of the original act of tho 2d of March was based on two distinct grounds ?tbo intcrrcr enco ot Congress in mattem strictly appertaining to tho ro icrved powers of tbo Slatca and tho es tablishment ul military Lribunuls fur tho trial of ritizoiis in times of peaco. Tho impartial reader of that message will understand lliut all It eus taiiin with icspcct to military despotism and mar tial law lias reference especially to tho fearful puwer conferred 0:1 tho dib(rict romtnandcrs lo displace the criminal courts and assume iurisdic rion (o try and to punish by military buartis; that, potentially, tbo suspension of habeas corpus was martini law and military dospotisra. Tho act now bufuro ino not only doefaros t]rat tho intent was to cunfer Midi military authority, but a'HO to confer unlimited military authority over all tho other courts uf 'ho State and over all tho offices of (bo Stnl', legialativo, excentivo and judicial. Not e inteilt with the general grnnt of power, Congress, in tliu second section of th<> bill, speci fically gives tu each military commander tho pow er "to btispoud or remove iront cilice, or from tlio pcrlormunco of < flk-ial dutiea 'und tho uxcrciso ot oliicial powers, any officer or person holding or cxerciHiug, or professing to hold ami uxcrciso any civil or military oflico or duty in such district, un der any power, election, appointment, or authority derived liom, ur granted by, or claimed under any su-called Statu ur the government thereof, or any municipal or other division tliereoi." A puwer that hitherto nil tho dopurlmcntu of tho Federal Uovci iiinont, acting in concort or{ sepa rately, have nut dared to exercise is hero attempt ed to be conferred ou n subordinate military offi cer. To him, as a military officer of tho Federal (Juvcrnmout. is given tho powur, supported by "a sufficient military lorcu," to rumo\ o ovcry civil officer of tbo htato. What next? Tho division commander who has thus dopoaod a civil otiiaor is to fill tbo vacancy by tliu detail of an officur or soldier of tlio army, cr by tbo appointment of " soino utbtr person," " Tais military appointee, whether an officer, a soldier, or "some ullior person," Is to perform tho duties of such officer or porson so suspended or removed. In oilier words nn officor or soldier of tliu army is thus transformed into a civil officer, iio may bo a governor, a legislator, or a judge. However unlit be may deem hnnsoU lor such civil duties, ho must obtiy tho ordor. The officor of tho army must, if "detailed," go upon tlio supremo beach of tho Statu with lb- H?mo promptoboi ; diuueo as if he wcro detailed to go upon a court martial. Tbo soldier, if dotai.cd to act as a justice of tbo p, ace, must obey as quickly us if he woro detailed lor picket duty. Wind is tlio character of auch a military civil officer? Th s bill declares that lin shall perfumi the duties ol tliu "Ml uffieo to which lie is detailed. It is clear, however, that bo does not losu Inn posi tion in tliu military serviiic. Ho is still an officer or fcoldicr of I bo army; hois still subject to tlio rules ami roguhtions 'which govern it, and must yield duo delerotico, respect, and obedience to, ward his superiors. 'Tho clear intent.of this soc liun is that tlio officer or aoldicr detailed to nil a civil uffiwC, must execute hia duties according to tho luivn of the State. II ho is appointed a Oovcniorof a stale, he is (e execute the duties aa provided by tbo laws of that Slnto, and fur tho liuio bom.; his military charac ter is tu bo suspended in hia new civil capacity. If lu is appointed a State tr .'usurer ho must at once lu Mime the custody and disburuom^ntol the funds of the State, and must perform those duties pro* ciHb'y nccording to tho luws of (ho State ; for ho la en I runic J With no other official duty or other 1 ill ici til j lower. Holding tbooffico of t resell rcr and entrusted with funds, it happons that ho ia re quired by ibo Btato laws to enter into bond with security and to lake an oath of office, yet from the beginning of tlio bill to tho end there Is no pro vl?wn fur a"t* bond or oath of office or tor any sin gle qualillcavi"'. ro guircd under tho Statu law, auch as ti huh.m e, citizenship, or anything eine. Tho only outn is that provided for in tho nintu section, by llio terms of which ovcry ono detailed "to tako and to subscribe tho oath of offico prescribed by law for officers uf tho United States." Thus an officer of tliu army of tbo United Staton, detailed to till a civil ufllco in ono of thoso Statos, given no offiuial bond nnd lakes no official oath for tho por loimunco of his new dutice as ft civil officer of tho State ; ho only takes tho name oath whluh ho hod already taken as 11 military officer ol tho United States, lie is, ut least a military officor porform ing civil duties, and tho authority under which ho acts is Fudcral authority only, and tho inevitable rosult ia that tbo Federal Government, by tho agency uf its own sworn officers, in ofirct, assumes tbo civil government or tho Btates. A singular ?ontradiotion is apparent here. Con gress declares theso local Htoto govcrnmouU to bo illegal guvtriimunts, and Iben provides that thcao illegul governments shall bo carried on by Federal officers, who aro to porturm the very duties im posed on its own officers by this illegal State au thority. It certainly would ho a novel bpocUolo If Congress should attempt to carry on a legal State government by the agency of ils own officers. It is yet moro strange (hit CengrcsBattoniuls to sea. taiu and carry en an illegal btato govornmcnt by tbo name I edoral agency. In tins connection I must oalt attention to tho 101h nu l 11th sections of tho bill, which provido that none of tho officer! or appoiutcca of thcao military commandois, "shall bo bound in his ac tion i?y any opinion ul an? pi.-il officor pf the Unit ted States, ' ami tkjt all tbo provisions of the apt "shall be continued literally to tbo ond, that all tho intents thereof may bo fully and perfectly carried out." It i.ccrr 1 Conprcca auppoECd that tin's bill might require construction, and thoy fix, lb ere fore, tho rule to be applied. Hut where la tho eonatiuoUop tu conto from? Cortninly no ono can bo nioro in want of instriictto-. thnfi a Soldier or an oflicor of tbo army detailed lor a civil uorvico, with tbo du ties of 'which, perhaps tbo most important in a State, i'h altogether unfamiliar. i In a bill i-iij ? ho shall not bo bound in hin action by tlio opinion of nny civil ofllccr of thu United si ni en. Tbo duties of tho oftico aro nllo .'other civil; but when ho asks for an opinion ho can only null tbo opinion of another military oflicor, who, jifi 11 ?]):-, understands nH littlo uf bis duties aa he does himself; and as to hia ' action," ho in nnswor nblo to Ihu military nulhorily, ami to tho. military authority alone, sir.ctlv no opinion of any civil ( nicer, other than a Judge, has a binding force, lint Ihcao military appointees would not bo bound oven by s judicial opinion. They tnitfltt very well nay. oven w.icn their action m in conllict with tho Supremo Court of tho United Stales, "that Court is composed of civil officers of tho United States, and wo uro not bound to conform our action to any opinion of any auch authority." Tho bill and the nein to which it is supplemen tary uro all founded upon tho assumption that tbo ten communities aro not States, and that their ex isting governments aro not legal. Throughout tho legislation upon dim hubjuct Ihoy aro called "rebel Slntcs,'' and in thin pariictilnr lull tliny aro denominated "no-called Statua," und the voice of iltogolit. is doclared to pervade all of them, Thn I obliga-ions of eotisiHtin.ey bind the IcgiRtnlivo Imdy an well aitho i'idiviilti?la who compomi it. It is now too latu ti- say that ihcao ten political com- I iiiiinitiCH ore not Stuten of this Union. Decimations lo Ihn contrary, niadu in these their I acts, are contradicted again and again by the re pealed nc(h of lr:;i-I l'uni cnaeted by Congress from tho year 1SG1 to the year 18C7. During that tioriod, while those BtatCM wein in iielivu rebel- I lion, n.nl aller thai ro-tclliou wns brought lo a close, they have been ugaiu ami again recognized I im States 'of the Union, ltepreseiilntmn has been upportinucil to Ilium au State.-*. They havo boon I divided into judicial diatricta for tbo holding of I diiitriet and c.vnnit courta of tho United Status, an Slat h of tbo Union can only bi distributed. The laid act on thin Hubjcct wns panned July 2:1, I 18(it>, by wind, every ono uf these ten Slatoa woe I arranged.into districts aud cirohito. .They havo been called tinou by Congress to act through their I Legislatures upon at least l?o amendments lo tbo I l'on-it it ut ii m - of tbo United Slates. Aa Stales they lia vu ratified ono am end ment, which required tho volo of twontv-sovan States of tho thirty-six I then composing the Union. When tho requisite I Iwenti -soven voles wero given in favor 01 Hint I amendment?wovon of which voles wero given by I Soven of theso Slatea- it was proclaimed to bo n pari ol tho CoiiBiitutioii uf tbo United States, and slavery was declared not longor lo exist in the United Stales or any placo Bubjoct lo their juris- I diction. If thcuo seven Stales wero not legal States of tho Union, il follows as tbo inevitable I cousiquenco that in soino of tbo States slavery I vet exists. It docs not exist in thoso seven States, I for they havo abolished il alHo in their own State Coital tutio' s ; but Kentucky not having dotto so, it wonld still remain in that State. Hut, in truth, if thin assumption that theso States havo no Irgnl I Slate GovcvmncnlH lio true, then tho abolition of | slavery by tlfso illegal covcrnmonts binda no one, fur Congress now denies to theso States the power to abolish slavery by doming to thorn tho power to elect a legal Slato Leg isla, ore, or to I frame n constitutum for any purposo, oven for I sueh a purpose as tbo abolition of slavery. As to tboollicrcoiiHtitiitionalomcndmcnthaving reference to suffrage, it happens that these States have not accepted it. The conFcquenco is that it I hns never been proclaimed or understood, ovon by I Congress, lo bu n part of tho Constitution of thu I United Slates. The Senate of die United States ban repeatedly givon its aauclioti to tho appoint ment or judges, district attorneys and marshals for every ono ut theso States ; and yot if they aro not legal States not otic of diese judges is author- I ized to hold a court. So, too, both Houses of Con- I areas have passed appropriation lulls to pay all I these judges, attorneys nud ofliccrs ol the United States lor xercising thoir luticliona in tin so Sltites, Again, in the niacliinciy of the internal revenue laws all of thoso States nro districted not I aa "Territories' bill as "Stales." So much for continuous legislative recognition. Tbo iusinncos cited, howover, fall s.iort of all that might be enumerated. Executive recognition, as is well known, baa been frequent and unwavonug. Tho same may lu- said as to tho j.tdieial recognition, through the Subreum Couit of thu United Stales. That august tribunal, from first to last, in the administration of ils dutius in bano and upon the circuit, bas I novcr fniled to rccognizo thoso ten cum muni tic-, as I legal Stales nf die Union. Tho cases depending I in that court upon appeal and writ of error from I these States, w.icn tho rebellion began, havo not been dismissed upon any idoa of tho cessation of I Jurisdiction, They were carefully continued irom term to term until tho rebellion was entirely nub dited and peaco rc-oslablishcd, und Ihoy were coll- I cd for argument and consideration aa if no tnsttr- I rcotion bad iutorvuncd. Now cases, occurring since the rebellion, havo como from theso Slate< I butor ! that court by writ of error and appeal, and I oven by original suit, where only a State oau bring I such a suit. Those, cases are entertained by thai tribunal in tho oxercisc of its nek: owlcdged Juris- 1 diction, which could not attach to them if they I bud como from any political body other than a Stale of tho Union, Finally, in the allotment of I their circuits, tuatlu by tho Judges nt tho Decent- I bcr term, 18(15. ovcry nnp of these States is put en the samo footing of legality with all the other StatCH of tho Union. Virginia and No: I h Caro lina, being n pu t of the Fourth Circuit, ore nllot I si lo the Chief Justice South Carolina, Qcorgin, Alabama, Mississippi and Florida, constituted tho I Fifth Circuit, aud was allotted lo tho lato Mr. I .1 milieu Wayne. Louisiaua, Arkansas and Texas, are allotted to the Sixth Judicial Circuit, as to I which there is a vacancy on the bench. The Chief Justice, in tho exercise or his circuit I duties, baa recently hold a clrouit Court in tho [ State of North Carolina. If Ninth Carolina is not a Stato of this Union, tho Chief Justico bad no authority to hold n conrt tb?ro, aud every order, judgment aud decree rendered by him in that court were corain non Judicc and void. Another ground on which these reconstruction acta aro attempted to bo sustained is this: That I these ten States arc ccnqucrcd territory; that the constitutional relation in whiuh they stood an States ton.uds the Federal Government prior to tho rebellion hiiB given placo to a new relation: I that this territory is a conquered country, and Cm citizens a conquered people; mid thu-. in this new relation Congress can govern them by military I puwer. A titlo by conquest stands on clear cronnd. It is . now title acquired by war. It applies only to I territory, for goods or inovenblc things regularly I captured in war are called "booty," or if lakou by I individual soliliors "p'.uudor." Thcro is not it foot of laud in anv ono of these I ten Stales which tho United States holds by con quest, sitvo only such land as did not belong to I oitbor of thoso States or to any individual owner, I mean such lauds ns did belong to the pre tended UovcmniCIll called tho Confederate Slates. I These lands wc inny olaiiu to hold by conquest. As ] to nil other land or territory, whether belonging I tu t iO StalO or to individuals, tho F?d?ral Gorern- I me nt has now no more title or right to it than It hud before the i ehe]lion. Over our forts, arsouals, navy yards, custom houses ant) other Federal prop- I orto situate in those States wo now Isold, nut by tin: tit o of ?onqiiest. but by our otd title, acquired I by purehaso or condemnation fur public two with I componsat ion to former owners, Wo havo not nouquoicd thoso places, but have simply "reo: s scssud" tbom. If wo require more sites for forts, custom houses or olber public uso, wo must ac- I quire the litlo to them by purehaso or appropria- I lion in tho regular raodo. At this moment tho United States, in tho acquisition of sites tor na tional cemeteries in those Btulos, aoquiros litlo in th.. santo way. Tho Federal courts sit In conrt I houses owned or leased by tbo United States, not in tho cour' houses of tho States. Tho United States nays oach of these States for tho uso of Its jails. Finally, tho United Btatos levies its direct I taxes and t|a internal rx. venue upon tho property in thru"! States, including tho productions of the I lands within thoir territorial limits?not by way of levy and contribution in tho character of a con (merer, but in the regular way of taxation, tinder tho samo laws which apply to all tho Other States of tlio Union. From first to last, during tho rebellion and I slnco, tho title of each of theso Shales to tho lauds nud public buildinga owned by thorn has nover I boen distui tied, and not a foot of it hna over boon I acquired by tho United States ovon under a title by coiiflseatiou, and nut a foot of it has over bo: n taxed under F?deral law. In conclusion I must respectfully ask tho at ten- I tion of Con Kress to tho eonsidorai fou of one more question arising undor this bill, it vesta in tho military commander, subject only to tho approval of tho Genera) of tho army of tlio United Slates. I an nnlimited power to remove from ofllco any civil or military oflicor In oach of theso Ion States, and the fttrthur power, aubjoct lo tbo aarae approval, to dotr.il or appoint any military ofiicor or uoldior of tho United States to pcifoirn duties ofthol officer bo removed, and to till all tlio vacancies oc- I oaaioncd in thoso States by death, resignation or otherwise. Tho military appointee thou required to perform the duties of a civil oflicor according to tho laws of tho st I te, and aa such required to tako nn oath, is, for the timo being, a oivil oflicor. What is his character? Is ho a ci .il ofllccr of tlio State or a civil oflicer of tho United Btatos ? If ho is a civil ofiicor uf tho Stato, whoro is tbo Fodoral power, undor our Constitution, which authorizes his ap pointment by any Fcdoral officer 7 If. ho a over, ho is to be considered a civil oflicor of tho United Stales, as his appointment and oath would scorn to indicate, whoro is tbo authority for his appoint ment vested by tho Constitution? Tho power of appointment of all ofliccrs of ti.o United Btatos, civil or military, whoro not provided fur in tlio Constitution, ut vested in tlio Proaidont by and with tbo odvico and consent of tho Sonata, with Ulis except inn- - that Congress may by law vest the appoint niont of snoli inforior officers as thoy think proper in tho Prcsido .t alone, in tho courts of law, or in tho heads o. Uopartinonts, Mot tnls bill, if theso aro to bo considered inferior officers within do meaning cf the Constitution, docs not provido ?nr thoir appointment by tho President alooo, or ho courts of law, or by iho hoads of dopartmonts, bat vests tho appointment ill ono subordinate executivo officer, Bo that if wo put this question and fia tho character of tho o. ilitary appointee either way, this provision of tho bill is equally op posed to tho Constitution. Tako tho caso!of a soldier or officer appointed to perform tho offico of Judge in ono of liioao Bte-tos, aud aa such to administer tho proper laws of the Bin to, YVlicro is the authority to bo found in tbo Cfmslitu.Uo i for vos ting in a military or an execu tive ofllccr si riot judioial functions jo bo oxeiolscd under Stato law? It has boon again and again do- i oidod by tbo Supremo Conrt of tho United States that acts of Congress which havo attempted to vost executive powers in tho judicial courta, or judges of tho United Btatos, are not w*vrentod by tho Constitution, If Congress cannot clotho a judge with nicroh executive duties, how can thov clutho nil oflta) ur soldier of llio army witti judicial duties over cil ?zctis ot ttio United States trho aro not in tho tuili taryor naval ncrvice? Uo loo, it has horn repeal cdly decided that (Jongres s cannot require : Stati olliccr, executive or judicial, lu ncrfurin any dull enjoiued upon him ojr a law of tho United suie How, thon, can Congress confer power upon ni executive officer or the United Slates to peiforn such Unties in a rjtatu? If I'onyrosu could not real in ti judge of ono of thcHo stotfi tttty Judicial au thority under tho United Stales, by direct enact ment, how can it accomplish tho sanio tiling indi rectly, by removing the Btltfl Jlltlgo ami pulling nu olliccr i.f tho United States m his place? To mo theso consideration* arc conclunivo ol tho unroustitutiouality of this part nf tho hill now before mo, and I < aim sllv coiuiiiciid their cousid oration to tho deliberate Judgment of Congress. Within a poriud Ices than n yenr thfi Idfinlation of CongrosH linn altomptcd to strip the Executive, Department of tho Government of s.mio of its. essential power.?, Tho Constitiit'iin aril tho outli provided in it dovolvo upon lite I'roafclont the power und tho duty til eo that tho laws tire faith fully executed. Tho Contditution, in order tn carry out this power, gives biin tho choice ol tho agents, and imik. H IhttMl Hiibjeel to bin control nu I supervision. Hut in the co'culion of (best lain (lie countitulioiuil obligation upon llio l're-uleiit remains, lull Ihn power lo exorcise thai cotistilu lional duty is effcctuallv taken away. Tlio military commander is, oh to tlio power of appointment*, made to lake the pluco of tuu 1* taUlont, and t.ie Ueitcral of tho nnny Ihn hsBCOOf the Scunle. nud any attempt on the part ol the lYcsidonl to as sert Iiih own ccnslilutioiutl power may, under pie lenco of law, bo met by oflloinl iiii-uhmdii.iilioii. It is lo bu le.ii eil that the.-o militai v olHcetii. look in,: to tho authority given by these l.wit, rather tlinn to tho lutter ot the Cousliluliuu, will recog nize no authority hut tho comiuaiiilur ui tho din tri -t nnd the (Icueial of tho army. If there woi'0 no other objection than this to Ihis proposed legi dation, it would bo sufllchiut. While I hold the chief executive authority uf tho United States, while tho obligation rests upon nie to ecu that all tho lawn uro faithfully executed, 1 can never wittingly rwmmdor that trust, or the powor given lor its oxecntioe. I can never givo my assent to bo mado riunott uiblo for the faithful ex?cution of laws und at the Hiituo timo mim em!er that trust and the poweio which accompany it to any other executive ouiecr, hieb or low, ur lo nny number of incentive olliccrs.

This interference with tho constitutional authority of tho Executivo depart mon t is an evil that will inevitably Bap tho foundations or our ft dur.il system, hut it is not tho worst evil of this legislation. It is a great public wrong lo tako Iront tho 'l'rcsideut powern confciTcd upon him nlunu by tho Constitution, but tho wrong is moro flagrant and more dangerous when the pu wem uo taken from tho President arc conferred upon subordinate executive ofliccrs, and especially ii]sin military oflicci h.
