GOVERNORS VETO MESSAGE
ONTHE POST NOTE BILL.
Senate and
House Of Repre- sentatires:


House Of Representa-
Ihave considered a resolution "Relative
to the issuance of post notes by the Mis-
sisslppi Union Bank, and to the establish.
ment of lis branches" and bill to be
entitled San actto extend additional priv
ileges to the Mississippi Union Bank and
for other purposes" aud return them to the
respective houses inwhich they originated
for reconsideration. 1t is always with
great reluctance that | interpose to prevent
the passage of laws involving mere ques
lions Of eXpediency. IN all cases where l
believe the policy doubtful, give the de-
llberate acts of the two houses my official
sanction; but when measures are proposed
which will, IN my opinion, lnifict evils IT.
reparable on the people olthe state, cannot
without dereliction Of duty, give them
my official approval.
The resolution gives the discretion to the
Mississippi onion Bank to issue post notes
not having longer time than,welve months
to run, nor drawing a rate of interest more
than SIX per cent. per annum nor less than
five per cent; aud provides that not more
than six million should be issued II the
Legislature deemed it advisable that such
issues should be made, law should have
been enacted making it imperative on the
bank to issue them. The charter of the
bank authorizes it to take interest al The
rate of seven per cent. per annum on loans
having longer time than six months to
run, and six per cent. on loans payable at
an earlier period. 1t will be remembered
that the state bonds bear an interest of five
per cent. and to be sold must be made pay-
able in Europe. The cost of placing
funds there to pay the interest will, in all
probability be fifteen per cent; and if the
post notes are made to bear six per cent
interest the bank will sustain heavy loss
by issuing them. The great objection
however,, to such paper is that it would in.
eviiably be deprecated. The bonds or,he
Planters Bank, issued last year, were
guaranteed by the Bank of the United
States, and Gf / am not mistakenly bore
interest at the rate Of seven per cent. per
