London Street Accidents.

The news of a military engagement In
which 1000 of our troops had been
wounded would produce feeling of
the deepest melancholy, but the intelli-
gence that during the last year no less
than 1861 persons have been injured
by accidents in the London streets will
be quietly accepted as piece of curious
statistical information. To be run over
by cab or to be knocked down by a
butchers cart affords no title to the
sympathy of your fellow-men. Such
casualties have become so completely
part of our daily life that they have lost
any picturesque element they might at
one time have possessed. When BIZ
cycles were first introduced, the novelty
of the danger did indeed serve for
while to give certain interest to street
accidents. The world was wearied of
being injured by ordinary vehicles; but
to be wounded by bicycle was new
experience, of which numbers of persons
fastened to take advantage. Consider
ing the spirit with which these in
genious machines were at first employed,
it is almost disappointing to find bow
small bag the bicycle-riders have
made during the past twelve months.
They have only injured nine persons,
all told. Quite beggarly account
compared to what can be shown by
the drivers of light carts. The enter
prising butcher-boy, according to the
Parliamentary paper, still deies all ri
valry in this particular accomplishment.
The cabman comes next in order of
merit; but it is the driver of the light
cart that has done the real execution,
and his most successful hunting grounds
have been the outlying suburbs of Lon
don. The number of fatal accidents
mounts up to the respectable number
of 166. Of these the city claims only
n,ne, while Stepney heads the list with
twenty-one, and Camberwell, Hamp-
stead, Paddington and Highgate follow
IN honorable competition. There is no
doubt that in the city the driver of the
light cart labors under considerable dis
advantages. The thoroughfares are so
crowded that he has not the means of
getting up the speed necessary for sue
cessful adventure; and, apart from this
consideration, he suffers much from the
harassing interference of policemen
stationed at various points to regulate
the traffic. But in the suburbs he is
more his own master. The roads are
tolerably clear of other vehicles, and
hence the unwary foot passenger be.

plainly expressed in ahs constitution.
That q majority Of the Senate now con.
ours in the claim of the House adds, 10
the gravity of the situation, but does
not alter the question at issue. The
new doctrine, If maintained, will re-
suit in consolidation of unchecked
and dtspotic power in the House of
Representatives,.
A bare majority of the House will
become the government. The Execur-
tive will no longer be whas the famers
Of the Constitution intended, an equal
and independent branch af the govern
ment. 1t is clearly the Constitutional
duty of the President to exercise his
discretion and judgment upon all bills
presented to him withou& constraint or
duress from any other branch of the
government.
To say that a majority Of either OF
both of the branches Of Congress may
insist on the approval Of bill under
the Ienalty ofstoppins all of the opera
tions of the government for want of the
necessary supplies, is to deny to the
Executive that share Of the legislative
power which is plainly conferred ty the
second section of the seventh article
of the Constitution. Itstrikes from the
Constitution the qualified negative of
the President.
DANGEROUS VIOLATION OF THE cossTIrU-
TION.
The people of this country are un-
willing to see the supremacy of the Con
s,itution replaced by the omnipetence
of any department Of the government.
The enactment of this bill into law
will establish precedent which will
tend to destroy the equal indepen-
dence of the several branches of the
government. An
act of Congress to protect elections is
now the grievance complained of. But
the House may, on the same principle,
determine that any other act of Congress
treaty made by the President will! the
advice and consent Of the Senate, a
nomination or appointment to office. or
decision or opinion of the Supreme
Courts grievance, and that the
measure of redress is to withhold the
appropriations required for the sup.
port of the offending branch of the
government. Believing that the bill
is dangerous violation of the spirit
and meaning of the Constitution, am
compelled to return it to the House in
which it originated without my approv-
a..
The qualified negative with which
the Constitution invests the President
is trust that involves duty which
he cannot decline to perform. With a
firm and conscientious purpose to do
what can to preserve unimpaired
the constitutional powers and equal
independence, not merely Of the
executive, but of every branch of
the government which will be i'm
