same. In either case, public sentiment almost
unanimously condemned the Legislative msjority
and sustained the GOvernor-as We are sure 1T
does now. So much for what is usual in this
line.
Now for Specification and the first that
comes to hard will serve the purpose:
Gov. Morgan, in his Anoual Message, recon-
mended the chsIteriDg Of more Horse Railroads IN
our City, and briefly indicated the main OBJECTS
which should be held in view 10 framing those
charters. The charters were framed and the bills
passed; but the stipulations in behalf OF the CITY
which he had urged were totally disregarded' Inc
leading advocates OF these charters were personally
apprized by him that the charters must be modified
in accordance with his original suggestions; but
his suggestions were still defed and the bills passed
in the teeth of 2 remonstrances. He could Of
course do no otherwise than veto them; so he did
it; and here is the Special Message stating his
reasons:

No person appreciates more fully than myself the utility Of

required NewYo took OCCASION In my annual me'age to

understands the whole case-he cannot but under

question the Legislature proceeded TO answer by
