PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE.
To the Senate othe Untied Slates:
I follow the example heretofore occa
sionally presented of communicating in
this mode my approval of the act to
provide for and regulate the counting
of votes for President and Vice Presi
dent and the decision of questions
arising thereon for the term commenc
ing March 4th, A. D. 1877, because of
my appreciation of the immineut peril
to the institutions of the coifutry, from
which, in my jndgment, the act affords
wise and constitutional means of es
cape for the first time in the history of
our country under the Constitution; as
it now is a.dispute exists with regard
to the result of tho election of the
Chief Magistrate of the nation, it is un
derstood that upon the disposition of
disputes touching the electoral votes
cast at the late election by one or more
of the States depends the question
whether one 'or the other of tho candi
dates for the Presidency is the lawful
Chief Magistrate, the importance of
having clearly ascertained by a proce
dure regulated by law, which of the
two citizens has been elected and of
having the right to this high office re
cognized and cheerfully agreed in by
all the people of the republic cannot be
over estimated, and leads me to express
to Congress and to the nation my great
satisfaction at 'the adoption of 'a meas
ure that affords an orderly means of de
cision of a gravely exciting question,
while the history of our country in its
larlicr periods shows that the Prcsi.
nt of the Senate has counted the
tes and declared them standing. Our
hole history shows that in no itfstauce
of doubt or dispute has he exercised the
power of deciding, aud that the two
houses of Congress havo disposed of till
such doubts abd disputes, although in
noiustance hitherto have they been
such that their decision could essential
lyhave affected the result.
For the first time, then, tho Govern
ment of the . United States is now
brought to meet the question as one
vital to the result, and this under con
ditions not the best calculated to pro
duce an agreement or to Induce calm
feeling in the several brauches of the
government or among tho people of
the country in-a cose whereas now
the result is involved. It is the high
est duty of the law-making power to
provide in advance a constitutional,
orderly and just method of executiug
constitution in this most interesting
aud c ritical of its provisions. The do
ing, so tar from being a compromise of
right, is an enforcement of right and an
execution of powers couferred by the
the constitution on Congress. 1 think
that this orderly method has been se
cured by the bill which, appealing to
the constitution and the law as the
guide in ascertaining rights, provides
a means of deciding questions of single
returns through the direct action of
Congress, and in respect to double re
turns, by a tribunal of inquiry whose
decisions stand, unless both houses of
Congress shall concur in determining
otherwise, thus securing a definite dis
position of all questions Of dispute in
whatever aspect they may arise.
With or without 'this law, as all of
the States have voted and as a tie vote
is impossible, it must be that one of
the two candidates has been elected,
and it would be deplorable to witness
an irregular controversy as to which of
. the two should receive or which should
continue to hold the offi.ee. In all pe
riods of history controversies have
arisen as to the succession or choice of
chiefs of States, and no party or citi
zens loving their country and its free
institutions can sacrifice foo -much of
mere feeling in preserving through
the upright course of law their
country from the smallest danger to its
peace on such - an ' occasion, and
it cannot bo too firmly impressed in the
hearts of all the people that true liber
ty and real progress can exist only
through a cheerful adherence to con
stitutional law. The bill purports to
provide ouly for the settlement of ques
tions, arising from tho recent elections.
'hc fact that such questions as can
arise demonstrates the necessity which
I cannot doubt will before long be sup
pried by permanent general legislation
to meet cases which have not been con
templated in the Constitution or laws
of the country. The bill may not. be
perfect, and its provisions may not be
such as would be best applicable to all
future occasions; but it is calculated to
meet the present condition of the ques
tion, and of the, country; the country'
needs and it desires peace and quiet
and harmony between all parties and
all sections; its industries are arrested,
labor unemployed, capital idle and en
terprise paralyzed by reason of the
doubt and anxiety attending the uncer
tainty of a double claim to the Chief
Magistracy of the nation. It wants to
be aWired that the result of the elec
tion will be accepted without resist
ance from the supporters of the disap
pointed candidate, and that its highest
officer shall not hold his place With a
questionable title of fight. Believing
that the bill will secure these ends I
give it my signature.
