The necessities Of the State during the contfnu-
ance OF the war compelled the adoption Of the pres
all interests. But the state bonds. now in the hands
these @ ppobtor be- purcbasnd nv the Comm nhu
sioners of -chuol and University lands before the
close of the year 1868 Prudent business foresight
requires thar you should, during your session de-
eide upon the system of investments to be pursued

security.
Experience has shown that this plan, be its man
agemcnt ever 80 careful is attended with cons ant
losses to the funds.
My own views as to the safest and best plans to |
be adopted were set forth IN nv last annual mes |
sage, and to that you ale referred.
