President of the seaals
 SlR-ln conformity with consih5 provision, return the bill entitled al, making appropriations for the yea
 lS46, aud part of the year lS44, aDdtr ances due from the State, and for olbs
 poses,n with the following objections uI hold insuperable, and for which pa, have thought proper to withhold my s5 val. In the first place, it is retrosDes proposing to pay specie to all the p creditors who may return Arkansas r after having drawn their pay, and to d who may not have drawn the amouls them on the 3lst December, for serYisa dered from the lst day of October \ thereby unsettling what has alreadYbea tied by former legal sanction-and, il ! so, has made inyidious distinctions, na among officers going out and those Cd into office, but also in the pay to the \ officers as regards time, without any \ cause.
 In the second place, the bill eniera|| marked distinction between the lnteeI the members and officers of the present eral Assembly and that which is to b ! vened in future, and the therpublic cof by appropriating $I4,l1S 40, in addal the balance of the unexpended appraF
 of last session, which Is S15,SSl 50, mi, the total amount of the appropriation present General Assembly, in spga ! S30,000-S23,000 of which will beabs at this session-to which add about s( 732 IS in specie, which may be daW public creditors for services from lstOa to 31st December inclusive, as prOFds the bill, -these two amounts make tt 1 of S33,732 IS. Now by reference D report of the Bank committee, Il FA found that at the time, there was Ofsml the Bank constituting part of the sa revenue, and which this bill proVldeha out and place in the Treasury S5Va
 And from a statement made out iorF
 by the Treasurer this evening, itappsn the sum of Sb2, ,267 82 has already beeng drawn-leaving the precise sum ln spa the Bank of S33,732 l8-from all Thf| will be readily seen, that these two officers already paid and members ana | cers of the present Legislature, will a'1 every cent in specie on hand.
 do not pretend to question the ug) the General Assembly to apply the sN] the State Bank to other purposes than contemplated by the act of liqudailOnil11| provided that this specie should be pa9! pro rata upon the circulation of the ba 1' for am well satisfied that the specle II is the identical money, originally pla'la the Branch Banks as part ol thelf V'1' I capital, which is known to be paf' VI v, surplus revenue deposited by the u'a ' Government with this State, and leslalD1''' under the control the Legislalure-1'H1s' onIy fund which can be used by als of the many entrusted to its chafge 7 General Government, except for ns Y specified. Yet l do contend lha' as M tinction made between the pubic els~) officers, and servants, IS too glafllls unnoticed.
