If ha (the Preaident) tnrrender tha power (of lha Tela) or fcil la axeroiM il ia a caae where he cannot approve, il would make hit formal approval a mere mockery, and woold be itaalf a violation of lha Oonatitnlioa.

* * * * * The exeealive, legitlalive. Judicial, each o*n-

alilotaa a aeparata co-ordinal* department of the Oovernmenl aad *ach ia independent of the other*. In the performance of their re-apeotive dntira under the Oonatilution, neither can. ia ita legitimate action, control the other*. They act npon their aeveral reapo nil bill tiea in their reapeellv* tpberea ;bal if thedoetriiicanow maintained be to eoeroe, tbe exeentiva ma*I become nractieally aubordinate to the legitla-live, and Judiciary mnal become anboralnata lo both the legialative and tbe execnlive; and lha* the whole power of lh* Oovarnmml would be merged in a aingle department.

Il la not inenmbent on the Preaident to tlgn a bill aa a matter of oonraa, and that merely lo authenticate tha action of Congreaa, for ha mutt exerciae intelligent Judgment or be faith-leaa lo the traal repuaed in him. If he ap-prove a bill, b* ahall aign il; bat i t not, be ahall ratorn it, with hia objection, lo that Houae ia which it ahall have originated for anch farther action aa tha oonautnllon de-mand*, which ia it* enactment, if at all, not by a bare namerioal majority, aa in the firat in-atance, bnt bv a oontlilullenal majority of two-lhirda ot both honae*.

While lha Conatitation thna oonfera on lb* Ifgiilative bodlea the complete power of legia-lation in all caaea, it prooewla, in the apiril of J aatioa, to provide for the protection of the re-ponaibility ot the Preaident. It doea not

compel him lo affix lha aignalnre of appraral to any billa onlea* it aotnally have hia appro-bation; for, while it reqoirea him to aign if ba approre, it, ia my Jndgmanl, impoaea npon bim the d a t j of withalding bit aignatnre if he do not approve. In the execstion of hia official dnty in thia raapeel ha ia not to per-form a mere mecbaaical pa r t bnt ia l a decide an aot aocording lo oonaeienlioaa convictiona of tb* rightfnlneaa or wrongfnlneaa af tha propoeed law. a * • xho Preaidant'a reaponalbility ia to tbe whole people of the United 3tatea aa that of Senator ia lo the peo-ile of a particular atate, that of a Bepreaenta-ive to the people of a atate or diatriol.

Wbaa, however, ha entertaina a deciaive and fixed ooneltuion, not merely of the nn-eonatitntionality bat of the impropriety or injaalioe in other reapecla of any maaaure, if he declare that he approre* he ia falae to hia oath.

RMPONStBlLITY FOH FIUES,

If a careless hunter fires your woods, and, much to his consternation, the llames spread to your fields, and run along the fences toyour barn, he is re-sponsible for the whole loss, although he did his best to stay its progress, A man who wrongfully sets in operation a dangerous inatrument must t ike all the consequences directly caused thereby and this would be so, whether the fire ran along tbe ground continu-ally, or whether the sparks were blown through the air a considerable distance, and then set fire to some |Kjr-son's property.

B u t as any f a r m e r has a legal r i g h t to b u m t h e brush , old stumpi',eU•, on h is own land, if he does so a t a p r o p e r Ume a n d in a p rope r manner , he is nut responsible, i f , by a sudden r ise of w i n d e r o t h e r cause, w i t h o u t negli-gence on h is pa r t , t h e fire Is acc ident r ally communica ted to a ne ighbor ' s premises, a n d causes h i m ser ious i n j u -ry . T h e g i s t of b is l iabi l i ty in s u c h cases Is some carelessne3s,either in t h e t ime of s e t t i n g t h e fire, or t h e m a n n e r of doing so, o r in w a t c h i n g i t a f t e r -w a r d s ; a n d the m a n w h o suf fe rs is bound to m a k e i t c lear t h a t t h e o t h e r was t o b lame. B u t even you r negl i -gence wi l l n o t a l w a y s render you lia-ble f o r t h e spread of a fire, un less It was or ig inal ly k ind led by you in t en -t ional ly . There fo re , if you r b a m t a k e s fire t h r o u g h you r care lessness w i t h t h e l a n t e m , a r t h a t of you r m a n w i t h h is pipe, a n d t he reby your ne igh-bor 's p roper ty Is also consumed, you a r e n o t bound to pay fo r I t ; t h e l a w seems to consider t h a t you have su f f e r -ed enough fo r you r c o n d u c t in t h e loss of your o w n proper ty .

Stil l less wou ld you be ' r e spons ib l e if t h e fire o r ig ina ted f r o m causes beyond you r control .
