/ President JoNEs' veto Of the Joint res
olutions passed by Congress to restore
Com. MOORE to his command in the Navy,
and to allow him pro rata pay since he has
been removed from his command, is pub
lished in the Galreston Neps of the 18th.
The reasons assigned for the veto are, first
relative to the removal OF Com. NJ, that
ths verdict Of the court by which he was
tried was just and fully sustained by the
testimony adduced, and that dismissal from
the service was the slightest punishment
the law permitted for the offence Of which
he was found guilty. That the Executive
is the only department Of the government
that has power to pardon, and therefore that
Congress has unconstitutiollally assumed a
function not belonging TO the legislative de-
partment. "The sympathies Of Congress
ahd the Executive might indeed be invok-
ed in his individual behalf'' says President
JoSEs, 'but it might well be refused, un-
less Antonio Lannois, james Hudgins,
!. Isaac Allen, and William Simpson, who
We're executed at the yard-arm Of the ship
.d,astin, by hanging for one hour, and until
dead, for similar offence;' BY order of Cap
tain MooRE, while, under arrest himself,
could be restored to life and partake of its
efficacy. Could the deep give up its dead,
and the sympathy claimed be made general
in its operation, the Executive would listen
to its dictates. But he can never sanction
a rule which hangs the poor sailor, and re-
wards his officer for offences Of congenial
character" ,. 4s .,t .sa f8.
To the allowance of pro rata pay it is OBJ
jected that Com. M. stands indebted to the
Treasury of the Republic to the amount Of
$5O, 1915 80, which lie has drawn since
June, l842, and has not accounted for, be-
sides an amount standing to his debt in the
Auditors books at Austin, and claims filed
agSinst the, government 10 the amount OF
sac, 600 for debts contracted BY him, max
ing an. aggregate for which he is held &C
EQUITABLE, OF between seventy and one hun
dTed thousand dollars; and that should the
joint resolutions become law, he would be
|virtlallp released from allresponsibility to
refund or account for this amount, and be-
sides that the allowance Of pay which was
proposed, .could only be viewed az . re-
ward for disobedisnce and insubos dination
to the lava and authorities Of thecountry." !"
Col. WM. G. CookE, Secretary or War,
left Washington on the 10Th ult., with the
intention Of proceeding to Bexar for the
purpose Of eGscting a treaty with the por-
tion Of tha tribe Of Comanche Indians known
as SANTA AsNA's party. The National
Register states that the place Of meeting is
on the Pierdanales, in Bexar county. This
SANTA ANNA isla noted marauder, at the
head Of a party Of about Fifty Indians de-
tached from the main tribe. The scene Of
his depredations has chiefly been our Rio
Grande frontier. ,t46s. $3.50 f..8-.@ss A
