WASHlNGTON, July ~.
The President to-day sent his message to the
House OF Representatives vetoing the supple
mental reconstruction bill. Towards the con-
clusion OF the message he says:-"This inter
ference with the constitutional authority of
the Executive Department is an evil that will
inevitably sap the foundation of our federal
system, but it is not the worst evil of this leg
lslatl0n. 1t is great wrong to take from the
President powers conferred on him alone by
the Constitution, but the wrong is more flag
rant and more dangerous when the powers so
taken from the President are conferred upon
subordinate executive officers, and especially
upon military officers. Each of the five dis
trict commanders, though not chosen by the
people, or responsible to them, exercises at
this hour more executive power, civil and mil
itary, than the people have ever been willing
to confer upon the head of the Executive De-
partment, though chosen by and responsible
to themselves. The remedy is in the hands of
the people and is to be found in the ballot, and
it is sure one if not controlled by fraud, over
awed by military power, or from apathy ON
their part. With an abiding confidence in
their patriotism, wisdom and integrity, l am
still hopeful of the future, and that in the end
the rod of despotism will be broken, the armed
heel of power lifted from the necks Of the
people and the principles of violated Consti-
tuition preserved.
The President contends that the government
has not acquired by conquest any title to the
land of the South or any right other than those
which 1t has over them in common with the
other States under the Constitution. He
further objects that it confers upon military
commanders power to appoint civil officers
and that in the performance of certain dut...Ws
he becomes civil officer? What is his charac-
acter? Is he civil officer of the State or a
civil officer of the United States. If of the
State where is authority under the Constitu-
ton which authorizes his appointment by any
federal officer? If, however. he is to be consid-
cred civil officer of the United States, as his
appointment and oath would seem to indicate,
where is the authority vested by the Constitu-
ton?

THE SURRATT TRIAL.
WASHINGTON, July 10.

The Surratt trial was resumed to-day
Mr. Bradley submitted certified copies of the
time tables OF the New York Central Railroad
in April, 1865, showing that train left Alba
ny at A. M. and 1.20 p NJ; trains left SYRIA
cuse at 1.30 p. NJ and arrived at Canandaigua
at 4.52.
Mr. Pierrepont agreed that the time tables
should be admitted in evidence, but not that
the trains actually run.
Mr.. Bradley said one of the witnesses wait
ed for yesterday, who had not arrived, was
Father Boncher. Since the Court adjourned
yesterday the defence had discovered another
material witness, gentleman of respectable
ty and character, who was now in New York
and had been telegraphed for. The defence
expected to prove by him that the prisoner
was in Elmira, April 14th. When these two
witnesses were examined the defence would
close. Under the ruling of the Court much of
the evidence that the defence proposed to offer
was ruled out
Mr.. Merrck moved to strike out that which
related to Jacob Thompson, the alleged muir
derer of Union soldiers, and the Duell letter.
Argument ensued between the counsel on
this motion, and also as to what evidence
would be admissible on the part of the prose-
cution in the further conduct Of the case.
Mr.. Bradley suggested that the prosecution
90 on, with the understanding that the defence
be allowed to put in the evidence of the two
witnesses if they shall arrive in time.
The prosecution refused to agree to this.
AT LAO A. M. the Court took a recess until
Tomorrow morning.

CONCORD, N. H., July 49,
A most disastrous fire occurred here this
evening, which destroyed property belonging
to the Northern Railroad to the amount of
S25O.OOO The fire was first discovered in O
wood shed near the round house, which con-
tanned eight or ten engines, none of which
were removed, the flames spreading with such
rapidity that it was impossible to move them.
The flames communicated to the adjoining
machine shop, about two-ffths of which were
consumed. At this point it was checked by
brick and iron wall. On the other side it,
swept through the long wood sheds and conf
municated to the new bridge across the rail-
road track and to another wood shed filed
with WOOD all of which were totally consumed
The flames communicated to other buildings
but was kept from spreading by the exertions
of the fire department The insurance on the
property was about $125,000, taken by G. L.
Putnam of Worcester, in ten companies. Tel
egraphic communication to the North of here
was interrupted by the destruction of wires
on four lines.

ANNEXATION OF MEXICO.
Protested Overtures from the
Liberal Party.

New York, July 10.
A special Washington dispatch says Mr..
Abbott brother of the historian, has preached
the proposition to leading members of Con-
gress for the annexation of Mexico, which he
intimates meets the appreciation of Jnarez
and the chiefs of the Mexican Republican
party. The latter fear, it is said, another for
eign Intervention on &C ,ount of the execution
of Macmillan or the continuation of intcs-
tine strife engendered by bad blood, between
the leading military chieftans, and will be sat
isied with annexation provided that they
themselves can be secured in some good gov
eminent berth and peace can be secured to the
country. Mr.: Abbott's propositions were re-
eeived with hesitation by Mr.. Sumner and
General Banks, but other members, among
whom were Messrs. Howard, Chandler, Cole
and others, received the propositions with
much favor.
