The following yeto message was sent by
Governor HUMPHREYS to the Mississippi
House of Representatives on the 3Oth ult.
Its consideration was postponed by that
body to the third Monday in January, 1867:
EXECUTIVE OFricE,
JACKSON, October 80, 1856. I
To th HonH Of Representatives Of the State Of
Mi''isuppi'
GENTLEMEN l return herewith to the
House Of Representatives, in which it origi-
mated, the "Act to regulate final process on
judgments and DEGREES in certain cases" )"
with the reason why cannot approve the
same.
regret that cannot approve this law.
Whatever legislation consistent with the
constitution tie legislature may adopt for
the purpose Of relieving the people will meet
my approval But the act under considera-
tion seems to violate both the Constitution
Of the United States as well as the constitu-
ton of this State. In each of them it is de-
clared that no law shall be passed impairing
the obligation of contract.
1t is true the Legislature may pass laws
changing the remedy upon contracts, which
will be valid, provided they do not impair
the obligation. What constitutes the obli-
Ratlon Vi cOntraCI Anu Wnat Is tne true
distinction between the obligation and the
remedy to enforce it has never been de-
termned with perfect accuracy. But it has
often been decided that any act which sub
jccted the property Of q debtor to stay law
and that such statute can be enforced only
as to contracts made subsequent to its pas
sage. In the act under consideration stay
is given to the debtor for the payment of the
debt extending over period of four years.
If this power thus to stay execution exists
in the Legislature, l can see no limitation to
its exercise except in legislative discretion.
If it be competent to stay execution during
period Of four years, it is difficult to per-
ceive what there is to prevent an indefinite
extension. For these reasons l am COM
PEELED to withhold my approval from this act.

Dangerous Counterfeit.

A new and dangerous counterfeit Of Uni

nation Of $50 yesterday made its appearance
at the Treasury Department, and was pro.
nounced by Gen. Spinner, United States
Treasurer, to be one Of the most skilfully
executed ever brought to his notice. The
spurious note was detected by the vignettc
Of Gen. Alexander Hamilton, first Secretary
of the United States Treasury, which, on in,
spection, was found to have been split from
a 80 Treasury note and neatly pasted on the
counterfeit $50. The engraving of the other
portions Of the note is cleverly initiated and
cun only be distinguished from the genuine
by the closest inspection.

They produce two hundred and seventy mil

of ten cents per pound, would be worth

THE sOLvENCY OF UNCLE SAM.

While John Bull is Obliged to measure hi
steps very carefully under the burden Of hi
public debt, Uncle Sam strides along wit
an independent air. II the Union can be re
stored, and oil the States work together har
moniously in matters Of trade, we shall ab
sorb, swallow, obliterate the national debt II
few short years.
1t appears from an abstract Of the forth
scoming report of the Secretary Of the Treas
ury, that the national revenue, for the fnan
cial year ending June 30, 1866, exceeded thu
expenditures by s37 7,69l ,s57.36. During thai
year, also, the receipts from internal revenue
increased by Sl00,0O0,0O0, and from customs
S9O,O0O,00O as compared with the preceding
The cash balance in the Treasury, at the END
Of the year, was $3.50, O,669sl5, against 1858,
3O9 on the 3Oth of June, 1865. The Treasury
receipts since August, 1865, when the public
debt eliminated, have been considerably
ahead Of current expenses, each month leav.
ing an increased balance to be applied to the
payment Of that debt. Since that date,
some fourteen months, its reduction has
amounted, in round numbers, to Sls4,OOO,-
900, leaving a net balance, on the lst of Oc-
tober, 1866, Of s2,573,336, ,94l.6s.
The reduction of the debt is still going on
rapidly, and there is prospect of q speedy
release from the burden. All this is being
done under President JoHSsoxs admins
tration, and when the pettifoggers who have
sweetened the ears Of their radical constitu-
ents with threats that The President shall
be impeached rise in Congress to fulfill their
rash and silly promises, they will hardly
base any one of their charges upon the inan-
cial policy of the Government. The only
fear to be entertained in regard to our
finances is in the madness of political part
isans, but Us the men who get into
Congress nowadays have thorough ap-
probation Of greenbacks we cannot be-
lieve they will jeopardize the public credit
knowingly. In their ignorance of financial
matters some Of them would often, no doubt,
raise the devil with our monetary affairs in
stead of raising the wind to blow us along
prosperously; but we are inclined to believe
that majority Of them would hesitate to
cast avote which they knew would impair the
value of the extra Treasury notes they have
voted themselves for their valuable services
to the country. Would Senator WILSON,
for instance, now that he has refused, though
often requested and demanded" to refund
the extra pay he voted himself do anything
which he really supposed would depreciate
the value Of those dear Treasury notes hs
will pocket at the end of the session. We
trow not.
