FOURTH EDITION
The Presidents Veto Message.

WASHINGTON, July 10 Towards the conclu
sion Of the message the President says:- ~
This interference with the constitutional au-
thority of the Executive Department. Is an eVlI
that will inevitably sap the foundations OF our
Federal system; but IL is not the worst evil OF
this legislation.
IL is great wrong TO take from the President
powers conferred upon him alone by the Con-
stitution, but the wrong is more fragrant ana
more dangerous when the,powersso taken from
the President are conferred upon subordinate
executive officers, and especially upon military
officers
: Each OF the FIVE District Commanders though
not chosen by the people. or responsible 10
them, exercise at this hour more executive
power, military and civil. than the people have
ever been willing to confer upon the heads OF
the Executive themselves. The remedy is in
the hands of the people, and Is to be found in
the ballot, and It is measure If not controlled
by fraud, overawed by military power, or from
q paltTy fear on their part.
with abiding confidence in their patriotism,
wisdom, and integrity, i am still hopeful ofthe
future, and that in the end the rod of despot-
ism Will be broken, the armed heel of power
lifted from the necks of the people, and the
principles of violated Constitution preserved.

The Case OF Rev. Mr. Merrlll.

The Plattsburg IN. ~ Express, in publish.
Ing the letter from Detroit informing Mrs. Mer-
I'LL OF the appearance OF her husband in that
city, makes the following statement
'Thus 1t will be seen that the whole affair of
his falling into the river was settled device on
his part to get out OF the sight and hearing of
his former acquaintance and friends, for fear of
exposure of his delinqueuces. The public will
readily conclude that what had been said about
the Intimacy with Miss Houghton, of North
Adams is not to be treated as myth, but as
reality. Indeed, If a shadow of doubt existed
it has been completely removed by letter from
Miss Houghton, directed TO Mr.. Merrill, since
his supposed drowning, and opened by Mrs.
Merrill, in which among other things she en-
deavoTs to impress upon him the duty Of leay-
ing his family and sharing his fortunes with
her. even if they have 70 60 to the very ends OF
the earth. 1t was certainly q ht time for heI
to make such,overtures If so disposed, for she as
well as he was well aware that he was unable
to rebut the accusations against him, and tha
his services as a preacher were about at an end
Whether he will finally carry out the plans thu
set forth by her, remains 10 be seen,"

Important Mexican Disclosures.

During the last few days q new movement

annexation o. Mexico To tina ITnitsd States
The facts concerning IL are as follows--It seems
that Mr.. Abbott, brother of the historian j. =.
O. Abbott, has been engaged for two years past In
planning and maturing scheme for the acqui-
sition ofthe northern tier ofMextcan States, wi
n view ultimately TO the absorption of the whole
Of Mexico. He has travelled extensively
through that country, put himself in commit u
nicatiOn with It's leading men, including
Tnarez and made overtures to them with the
tacit sanction of prominent parties in the
Tinted States. Until lately he met with but
iittle encouragemenJ in Mexico. Since the
canture and execution of Macmillan, however,
his proposiJiOns have been more favorably con
sidered A few days ago Mr.. Abbott succeeded
In getting together a number of fprominentSena-
Tors and Representatives 10 whom he made n

THE DISEASE OF ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Is said
to be the disease of America. Its victims may
be found In all stations of life. The poor as well
as the rich are sufferers from its nfe-destroying
influence. The symptoms of this disease vary
greatly in the different stages of the complaint.
1t generally commences with a sensation of
fullness after eating, and changeable, dimin-
ished, or lost appetite. In some instances the
appetite is voracious, and when-in obedience
to its promptings-a large portion Of food is
taken into the stomach, pain follows in that
region. with general distress, nervousness, and
nausea. Flatulency and heartburn invariably
attend this disease. For all these symptoms
HosTETTER's STOMACH BITrERs
will be found an invaluable household remedy,
as its Alternative, corrective, and restorative
properties are derived exclusively from roots
and plants, the virtues of which are acknow-
ledged by pharmaceutists and physicians. Sepa-
rately they have often been prescribed by the
profession, but were never combined until DIR
Hostetter gave to the world his
HEALTH RESTORING BITTERs,
which has proved a sovereign remedy for dys-
pepsia and its attendant evils.
