Message read as follows
STATE OF LOUISIANA,
Executive Department,
New Orleans, March IL. 1870.
To the Honorable the Speaker and Members of tn
House OF Representatives
return to the House of Representatives
without my signature. an act entitled "Ar
act to compensate L. II. Angamar anG
Charles lizard for their services and ey-
penses as special Leyee Commissioners o.
the State" for the following reasons:
The appointments were made without
authority of law, and the commissioners ap.
pointed accomplished no good for the State.
Had their mission been successful, they
might possibly have derived their compen.
sation out of the negotiation of the bonda
for which they sought the Endorsement OF
Congress. The levee fund is derived from a
tax assessed in accordance with the act
authorizing the issue of four millions of
levee bonds, and is pledged by that act to
the bondholders as fund to pay the inter.
est as it accrues and the principal when it
becomes due, and can not be diverted with
out a breach of faith on the part of the
State.
Finally, if the appointment had been in
accordance with law, and actual services had
been rendered, the amount of the appropri-
alton is, in my opinion, excessive.
(Signed) H. C. WARMOTH,
Governor of Louisiana.
