In the House, on March 27th, a bill making 

 appropriations for the support of the army for 

 the fiscal year ending June 30, 1880, and for 

 other purposes, was introduced. 



Mr. Sparks of Illinois said : " I would say 

 that this is substantially the bill as it passed 

 the House of Representatives of the Forty-tittli 

 Congress at its last session, with the clauses 

 stricken out in relation to the reorganization 

 of the army. It is also substantially the bill 

 as passed by the Senate with the insertion of 

 the clauses repealing the two provisions of the 

 statute relating to the use of the troops at the 

 polls. It is really the bill which was infor- 

 mally agreed upon in the conference committee 

 of the two Houses of the last Congress, except- 

 ing the portion relating to the repeal of the 

 provisions of the statutes allowing soldiers at 

 the polls. I now move that the House resolve 

 itself into Committee of the Whole on the state 

 of the Union for the purpose of considering the 

 army appropriation bill." 



The motion was agreed to. 



Mr. Sparks: "I ask that the Clerk now read 

 section 6." 



The Clerk read section 6, as follows : 



SECTION 6. That section 2002 of the Kevised Statutes 

 be amended so an to read as follows : 



" No military or naval officer, or other person en- 

 gaged in the civil, military, or naval service of the 

 United States, shall order, bring, keep, or have under 

 his authority or control any troops or armed men at 

 the place where any general or special election is held 

 in any State, unless it be necessary to repel the armed 

 enemies of the United States." 



And that section 5528 of the Revised Statutes be 

 amended so as to read as follows : 



u Every officer of the army or navy, or other person 

 in the civil, military, or naval service of the United 

 States, who orders, brings, keeps, or has under his 

 authority or control any troops or armed men at any 



Elace where a general or special election is held in any 

 tate t unless such force be necessary to repel armed 

 enemies of the United States, shall be fined not more 

 than $5,000 and suffer imprisonment at hard labor not 

 less than three months nor more than five years." 



Mr. Stephens of Georgia said : " One word 

 upon the merits of this question, and that is in 

 regard to the history of the use of the army in 

 civil administration. I will state it that way. 



" There seems to be some disagreement and 

 lack of information among members. The 

 calling out of troops to suppress insurrection 

 and violence, referred to by the gentleman 

 from Kentucky [Mr. Carlisle], is a very differ- 

 ent provision from the use of the troops in 

 civil administration, totally different. The 

 President, first, by the act of 1795, was au- 

 thorized, in cases set forth by the Constitu- 

 tion, to call out, not the militia of the State, 

 no; but to put down an insurrection against 

 a State, to preserve the integrity of the State, 

 guaranteeing a republican government under 

 the Constitution, he was authorized to call out 

 the militia of adjoining States. That is the 

 law of 1795. It is not to be presumed that the 

 governor would not call out the militia in his 

 own State, and the militia of adjoining States 

 was to be called out when it was necessary to 

 put down an insurrection in a State. That is 

 the legitimate use of the military power of the 

 country under the act of 1795. 



" Now it was not until 1807 that the organ-
