The fol lowing is a full text of the president's message vetoing the river and liarbor bill : To the House of Ilcprracntatirai. Having watched -with much internal the progress of the house bill , No. 02-15 , entitled , "An act rmking appro priation for the Construction , repair and preservation of certain works on rivera and harbors , and for other pur poses , " and having since it waa re ceived carefully examined it , after mature consideration , I am constrained to return it herewith to the liouao of representatives , in\vhicli it originated , \\\'Hiout my signature , and with my objcctionn to its passage. Many appropriations in the bill are clearly for the general welfare , and most beneficial in their character. Two of the objects for which provision ia made were by mo considered so im portant that I felt It my duty to direct to them the attention of congress. In my annual message in December last , I urged the vital importance of legis lation for Iho reclamation of marshon , and for the establishment of harbor linoa nlong the Potomac front. In April lost , by npoeial message , 1 recommended nn appropriation for improvement of the Mississippi river. It is not necoesary that I aay that when my signature would make the bill appropriating for those and ether valuable nationM objootu a lait is with1 great rolutyanM tyi'l&QlK " under ' "TSt fin STfojfcctioii to tho"bill is that it contains appropriations for a purpose , not for common defense or general wolfure , and which do not promote commorca among the states. Those provisions , on the contrary , are entirely for the benefit of paiticular localities in which it is proposed to make improvements , I regard BticU appropriations as beyond the power given by the constitution to congrosa and the president. I feel moio bound to withhold my signature from thu bill because of the peculiar evils which manifestly result from this infraction of the constitution. Appropriations of this nature to bo devoted purely to local objecto tend to increase in num ber and amount , as citizen * ot one state find that money , to rauo which they , in common with the whole coun try , are taxed , to bo expended for lo cal improvements in another state , demand similar bonolitB for improvements , and it ia not unnatu ral that they should Book to indem nify thomsolvoH for ouch out of the public funds by securing appropriu- tioiiH for similar improvommita in their own neighborhood. Train , tu the bill becomes nioro objectionable , it secures more support Thin result in invariable and nocetaiirily J | lowi > the neglect to obaervo the constitu tional limitations imposed upo.i thu law-making power. Appropriation ! ) for river and harbor improvement ! ) , under the inlluuiiccs to which I have alhult'd , increased year by year , out of all proprotion to the progress of the country , u'loat as that haa bnun.

While feeling - ing every disputation to IHU.VO to thu legislature * the ri'spoiibibility of do- tormiuini ! what umuunt thould bo' ap propriated for the purpose of thu bill , HO long as the appropriations are con fined t ; objects indioitud by the grant of power , 1 cannot recipe ho conolii sion that ai a part of the law making power of the government the duty du- volvea upon mu to withhold my sig nature from the bill containing appro priations which , in my opinion , greatly exceed in amount the ncpdn of the country for tha present fiscal y ar. It being tlie usage to provide money for thoao purposea by annual appropriation bills , the presi dent la in effect directed to ox/iand / so largo an amount of money within no brief a period that the expenditure cannot bo done econ omically and udvanta ooualy , Ex travagant expenditure of public monuy ia an evil not to bo moaaured by the valuu of that money to Iho people , who are taxed for it. They sustain greater injury in the demoralizing of- ell'ect produced upon thoao who are entrusted with olticial duty through all the ramifications of the govern ment. These objections could bo re moved and ovury constitutional pur pose readily obtained , should congresa enact that ouo half only of the ajji-ro- amount provided for in the bill bo appr priatod for expenditure dur ing the fiscal year and that the sum so appropriated bo expended only for such objects nntnol in the bill as the secretary of war , under the direction of the president nhall determine ; provided that in no case shall the uxpendlturo for any one purpose exceed the num. now desig nated by the bill for that purpose. I fool authorized to make this sugges tion bccuiso of the duties imposed upon the president by thocoiiBtitution to recommend to the consideration of congress such measures aa ho shall judge nccoasary nnd expedient , and because it is my desire that public works which are in progress shall sutler no injury. Congrosi will also convene niain in four months , when this whole subject will bo open for their consideration. ( Sinned ) CiiKSTEitA. Annum. KXKCUTIVK MANSION , Aug. 1 , 1882. CAPITAL NOTES.

In answer to inquiries from Ingor- aoll , thu court said the real ( juestion o' trial > vaa whether Brady had re ceived money from the contractors for ordering expedition and the question of policy did not out or into it. The records of expedition orders were brought into court , comprining six largo bundles , but they were not put in evidence , Merrick said ho should have to re quest Judge Key to rennin in this city for a few days so ho might examine - amino him when tho.sn records were put in. No cross-examination was army , waa the next witness.

( Jon. Sherman was thou naked to detail the facto which influenced him in making the recommendations for increase. lie oaid personally ho know little of the circumstances but in hit official capacity ho hoard much of them. The Indian agent at White river agency had boon murdered , his family carried off , and a fight had ( . ikon place between Major Thornbiirg and the Indiaim. The entire country between llawlins and While river agency was overrun by hoatilea and it wai regarded as u measure of nation al importance to keep open every possible communication with the rear. OoiiHcquontly thu eatablishmont of a daily mail aervice in that section had boon recommended , lie was asked what was the effect of frequent mails upon the maintenance _ of peaceful rp- luiomi with the Indiana. IIo aaid nothing bettor onablea an officer to kuup peace than frequent communica tion with the different sections of Iho Indian country. At loaat one-fourth of the appropriations made for the support of the army was expended for courier service and to guard linoa of communication. The postollieo de partment was nlao pressed to establish and incruuBO their iiurvice. Quick communication of intolli < { once _ was thus docurod , mid commanding officers were enabled to anticipate the move ments of hoalilo Indian ? , lie had recommended tri-weokly uorvico on thu Bismarck and Kort Keogh route in tlio winter of 1878 , Bismarck wan then tlio tormiinis ot the Northern Pacific railway , and the route waa intended to , and did , anticipate the construc tion of the railway. A atago line , with post houses , constituted an ef fectual picket line , which was of great Borvico to the military foroea , They would have been forced to ostablbh a picket line at great cost if the ground had not boon covered by ntago lines. Speaking of Arizona routes , CiLiioral tihorman aaid that in that state there were 4,1)00 , Apaoho Indiana of a peculiar character. They entertain an everlasting hatred toward the Spanish race and were kept corralled by the military to prevent thorn making doprodatiuna upon the aottlora in that country. Somotirnea they broke away from their corral after the fashion of ani mals. In a recent case 100 Apachea had broken out and killed forty sot- tlora , and had escaped into Old Mexico , v/horo they had boon wiped out by Mexican troops. Frequent maila gave warning of such outbreaks - breaks and gayo the aettlora an oppjr- tunity to make a defence. Ou croaa-examination , Gun.

French , ox chict clerk ot the second assistant posr.mas- tor general , was recalled. After detailing - tailing the business routine of the contract ofiico , witness was asked who was acting second assistant postmas ter general December SJ8 , 1880 , the date of the Brady-Walsh interview. Objection was made to the question but the court allowed it , and French said upon that day ho wna acting as sistant postmaster general. During most of the latter part of December ho had acted as second assistant , oc cupying the desk of that officer. Gen eral Brady did not act as postmaster Ronoral in December , that yoar. Oon cral Brady had n white boy named Ooorgo Adams as his page and witnons believed ho WRS not In the ofiico in December , 1880. It was common practice for contractors to have agent , attend to their business before thu de partment , nnd their communications were recognized as under authority of the principals , Witness was asked to identify a number of orders for expeditions in routes named in the indictment as having been made for himself. Ob jcction wi\8 made , however. Ingor- neil aaid witness having made orders honestly and without regard to pay , it would go to nhow , BO far aa the routes upon which these orders were baser were concerned , thuro had boon no conspiracy in their oxpodition. The court sustained the objection. Ad journed. CONGRESS. H'ccln | ! DUp-itdi to Tux HKII. HKNATli I'KOIIKKIIINON. WASIUNOTON , August 1.
