EXECUTIVE OFFICE, JACKSON, MISS,
.s, February ], 1867. :
To the House of Representatives -
I herewith return to you bill to be en-
titled "An act for the relief of Thomas w
and r. B. White, executors of VIM. White
deceased" with my disapprovaL
The faith of the State is not pledged fol
the redemption of cotton notes, and the
debt sought to be released by this act is not
due to the State, but to the holder of these
notes.-the State being merelya trustee, fol
the benefit of the holders. Under such cir
ccmstances, the Legislature ought not, as
trustee. to releaseathe debtor from his obi.
cation until the fact of his having paid it is
iudicially established. The State is not di.
reetlv interested in the redemption of the
cotton notes, and only assumes to act as
trustee for their redemption, and cannot by
an act of her Legislature release herself
from the obligation assumed without ma
grant violation of good faith on her part
Nor can she decide, by Legislative enactment,
that money paid through her defaulting OIL
Ger. to her as trastee, was properly paid, but

F1IHIS Society, which confines its bust
a ness exclusively to assuring the lives
Of persons resident in the West Indies,
presents advantages such as no other AS
surance Company, ~labouring in the same
field, can offer. Its scale Of Premiums,
although considerably lower than that Of
any other Company, has nevertheless been
found quite adequate 10 provide for the
risk of life in the West Indies, and snffi-
cient 10 create large SURPRISES, out OF
which Reversionary Bonuses, averaging
% per cent per mum upon the amount
assured have been distributed among the
Members of the Society.
Its career, during q period of 81 years,
has clearly demonstrated the fact that the
lives of persons residing in this part OF
the world, are, when carefully selected,
almost as valuable as those inhabitiug
Europe, and that they do not demand
such excessive Premiums as are charged
by every other Company.
The following abridged Table shows
the Premiums required TO assure $500,
for the whole term, upon a single life
, 1867-08-20

Others who aided in blowing up the
buildings and in checking the progress of
the fire at this point, are the following =
Mr.. C. Cornelius, of the immigration of
fee, (who is said to have worked like q
salamander) Mr.. J. Bascom of the Ad-
ministrator- Generals Office, (who, In his
eagerness TO render assistance, fell through
the stelling, and had to be hooked up out
of the mud, but was by no means deter
red by this mishap) Mr.. Plummer, Cor
poral Graham, Revd. w. G. e. Austin,
and Revd. T. Austin, Mr.. w. Russell, OF
pin. Leonoro, Mr.. Oliver, Capt. Jeffrey,
of the KsAearn. Capt. Plant, of the Fair
lie, Mr.. Manthorp, of the Government
Secretary's office, Mr.. Grant, OF the Co
lonial Company, Mr.. Merchant and Mr..
Fuge.
Thus, at about 3 O'Clock, the inhabit-
ants had the satisfaction of knowing that
the fire had been %effectually checked after
the destruction of six large houses with
their extensive ranges of back stores, and
an immense quantity of goods stored
therein. There cannot he the slightest
doubt that this result is due 10 the admir-
able manner in which the Fire Brigade
was handled, and the efficient state of the
Water Works; for although there was
little breeze throughout, still the closely
packed situation of the houses, and the
masses of combustible, and, in many
cases, highly inflammable goods stored in
them would have justified any one in pre-
dieting before hand, as many did at the
commencement of the conf1agratiOn, that
it would be impossible to make a sue
cessful stand against it before 1T reached
the canal at Messrs. Templeton,
There is only one death which has
been ascertained. It was thought that
two other men had persisted, but no other
bodies have been found.
The total loss is estimated at some
thing like ESQ, 900 or 100000, a very
small proportion of which is covered by
insurance. The premises in which the
fire broke out were insured in the Hand
in-Hand Company, and we understand
the losses of that Company will amount
to about $13,5OO. The other Companies
have suffered as follows The Liverpool
and London and Globe, Gl2,0O0 the
Imperial, $4,000; the London & South
ark, 91,750; the City & County, 975O;
and the Royal, 9600.
The following are the valuations in the
Town books of the premises, the build
ings on which have been destroyed =
Messrs. DaSilva Brothers lot (mud lot 8
-$28, 900; Mr.. Roberts (mud lot o.
$27, 900; Messrs. E. Luckie & Co.'s (mud
lot 10Y, $4,000; M. E. BEount's IN !
mud lot 49,, $4,000; M. Mendonza's Is
! lot 11), $38, OOO-only one of the build
ings on Mr.. Mendonza's lot, that occU-
pied by Messrs. Allen, Brothers & Co.,
was destroyed.
