WasiiNeToN, August 1.--The fol- lowing is a full text of the president’s ;;If!!flgu vetoing the river and harbor ill: To the House of Ropresentati Having watched with much intereat the progress of the houso bill, N 6242, entitled, ““An act making appro- priation for the Gonstruction, repair and proservation of certain works on rivers and harbors, and for othor pur- poses,” and having sinco it was re- coived carcfully examined it, after ma‘ure consideration, Tam constrained to return it herewith to the house of roprosentatives, in which it originated, without my signature, and with my objections to its passage. Many appropriations in tho bill are clearly for the general welfare, and most beneficial in their character, Two of tho objects for which provision is made were by me considered 8o i portant that I felt it my duty to direct to them the attention of congress. In my anuual message in Docember last, T urged the vital importance of legis- lation for the reclamation of marshes, and for the establishment of harbor lines ulong the Potomac front. In April last, by spocial message, 1 recommended an appropriation for improvement of the Missiseippi river, It is not necessary that 1 say that when my signature would make the bill a) Ympfil% for these and other vnlug o nationdl objecta a law, it is with great relwitaney and,guly under = Wy prihdipht Bkction to the bill is that it contains appropriations for a purpose, not for common defense or general welfare, and which do not promote commerce among the states. These provisions, on the contrary, are entirely for tho benefit of particular localitioa in which it is proposed to make improvements, I rogard suci appropriations as_ beyond the power given by the conetitution to congress and the president, T feel more bound to withhold wy signatura from the bill because of the peculiar evils which mamfestly result from this infraction of the constitution. Appropriations of this nature to be devoted purely to local objeats tend to increaze 1n num- ber and amount, as citizens of ono state find that money, to raize which they, in common with the whole conn- try, are taxed, to be expended for lo- cal improvements in another state, demand similar benefite for improvements, and it is not uanatn ral that they should seek to indem- nify themselvos for such out of the public funds by securing appropris- tions for similar improvemunts iu their own neighborhood, Tnus, as the bill becomes more objectionable, it secures more support This rasult is invariable and necessarily follows the neglect to observe the coustitu tional limitations imposed upon tho law-making power. Appropris for river and harbor improvements, under the influences to which 1 have alluded, increased year by year, oul of all proprotion to the progress of the country, great ns that has boon In 1870 the tion ,976.500,and in 81, £11,451,300, by the preso t thore s ap- priated §18,7: While feel- ing every dispusition to leave to the Jegislature the responsibility of de- termining what amount ehould b ap propriated for the purpose of the bill, 80 long ag the appropriations are con- fined t. objects indicated by the grant of power, 1 cannot egcipo he conclu sion that as a part of the law muking power of the government the duty de volves upon mo to_ withhold my sig- nature from the bill contaming appro- priations which, in my opinion, greatly exceed in amount the needs of the country for the present fiscal year. It being the usage to provide money for these purposcs by annual appropriation bills, the presi- dent 18 in offact directed to expend 8o large an amount of moncy within so brief a period that the expenditure cannot be done econ- omically and advantazeously, Ex- travagant expenditure of public monoy is an evil not to be measured by the value of that money to the people, who are taxed for it. They sustain groator injury in the demoralizing of- effect produced upon those who are entrusted with official duty through all the ramifications of the govern- ment.

Congross will also conveno again in four months, when this whole subject will be open for their consideration. (Signed) Chrster A. Artnun, ExecuTive MANsION, Aug, 1, 1882, CAPITAL NOTES. Spocial Di-patches to Tin Bk, DEBT STATEMENT, WasiiNaToN, August 1.—The debt statoment shows a decrease during July of $1,318,600.27, Bonds issued to Pacifis railroad companies, interest payable in lawful money, principal outstanding, 864,023,512; interest nc- craod and not yet paid, $324 117; in- torost paid by the United states, §00,344,082; interest ropaid by companies by transportation ser- vice, §15,221,035; by cash payments, five per cent of not earnings, $650,- 198; balanco of interest paid by the United Sta'cn, 837 468,448, TWO PER BONDS, Tho adverse action taken by the senato finante committeo to-day upon the house bill to authorize the sccre- tary of the treasury toissue §200,000,- 000 two per cent bonds,* to be ex- changed for other bonds bearing a higher rato of interest, was, upon mo- tion of Senator Albrich, adopted unanimously. Tn the discussion the opinion was expressed that no suffici- ont assurance could bo givon that these bonds could bo placed in the manner and for the purpose assertod by those who had advoeated tho bill, and to issue them would in effect be simply to ontertnin a proposition to inflate tho currency to that amount, The bonds,under the provisions of the il ety or eonventent denomina tions, would rendily ¢ renlate s cur. rency. and th: committoe fadl to voe ognizo any Lec ssity fu increasing the volume of paper monoy by issuing in- torest bearing notes. THE STAR ROUTE TRIAL, In the star route trial to-day Sena tor Moxoy, of Texes, testified. Gen, Key was also on the stand. In auswer to inquiries from Inger- soll, tho court said the real question on trial was whether Brady had re- ceived money from the contractors for srdering axpedition and tho question of policy did not enter into it. The records” of oxpedition orders were brought into court, comprising six large bundles, but thoy were not put in evidence. Merrick said he should have to re- quest Judge Key to remain in this city for a few days so he might ex- amine him when thess records were put in. No cross-examination was Sedvin? s nnedignised, army, was the next witness. He recognized his endorsemant on a petition for incroase and expedition upon route 38,113, He was asked if he had not urged increase generally upon the department, eaying it would do more than auything else to sottlo the everlasting Indian question, buy objection was made by the pros- and sustained by the court. n. Sherman was then asked to dotail the facts which influenced him in making the recommendations for increase, He said personally he kuow little of the circumstances but in his official capacity he heard much oi them. The Indian agent at White river agency had been murdered, his family carried off, and a fight had takon place betweon Major Thornburg and the Indians. The entire country botween Rawlins and White river agency was overrun by hostiles and it a3 rogarded as u measure of nation- al importanco to keep open every possible communication with the rear. Conscquently the establishment of a daily mail service in that section had boen recommended, Ho was asked what was the effect of frequent mails upon the maintenance of peacoful ro- lsious with the Indians, He said nothing better enables an officer to koop peace thau frequent communica- tion with the different sections of the Indian country. At least one-fourth of the appropriations made for the support of the army was expended for courior servico and to guard lines of commaunication. The postoflice do- partment was slso pressed to establish and inero thoir servics Quaick Ommunic of intolligence was thus secure smmanding oflicers were enabled to anticipate the move- ments of hostile Indiane, He had recommended tri-weekly eervico on the Bigmarck and Fort Keogh route in the winter of 1878, Bismarck was then the terminus ot the Northern Pacific ruilway, and the route was intonded to, and did, anticipate the construc- tion of the railway. A stage line, with post houses, constituted an of- fectual picket line, which was of aroat service to the military forees They would have been forced to establish a picket line at groat cont if the ground had not been covered by age lines, Speaking of Arizona routes, General Sherman said that in that state there were 4,600 Apacho Tadians of a peculiar charactor, They entertain an everlasting hatrod toward the Spanish race and were kept corralled by the military to prevent them making deprodations upon the settlers in that country. Sumetimes they broke away from their corral after the fashion of ani- mals, Inarecent case 190 Apaches had broken out and killed forty set- tlors, and had escaped into Old B0 Mexico, where they had been wiped out by Mexican troops. Frequent mails gave warning of such outs breaks and gaye the settlers an oppor- tunity to wake a defence. On cross-examination, Gen. Sher- man eaid ho would prefer slow daily mails to less frequent though faster sorvice, This concluded the exam- ination of Gen. Sherman, After recess, J. L. French, ex chiet clerk ot the second assistant pos:mas- tor goneral, was recallod. After de- tailing the business routine of the contract office, witness was asked who was acting second assistant postmas- ter general Docomber 28, 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 he was scting as- sistant postmaster general. During most of the latter part of December ho had acted as socond assistant, oc- cupying the desk of that officer. Gen- eral Brady did not act as postmaster goneral in Decembor, that yoar. Gen- eral Brady had a white boy namod George Adams as his page and witness belioved he was not in the office in Docember, 1880. It was common practice for contractors to have agents attond to their business before the de- partment, and_their communications were recognized as under authority of the Jurincipnln. Witness was askoed to identify a number of orders for expeditions in voutes named in the indictment as having been made for himself. Ob- joction was made, however. Inger- soll said witness having made orders honestly and without regard to pay, it would go to show, so far as the routes upon which these orders wore based were concerned, there had been no conspiracy in their expedition. The court sustained the objection, Ad- journed, CONGRESS. Special Dispateh to Trik Bxx, SENATE PROCEEDINGS, WasHiNaToN, August 1, —Sonator Morrill, from the finance commi roported adversely the houso j resolution authorizing the issue of 2 por cent bonds or_certificatos in ex- change for bonds bearing a higher rato of interest.
