A Joint resolution originating with your
honorable body, entitled "A Joint resolution
to raise a Joint committee to collect from the
United States the value of cotton and other
property turned over to the United States
at the time of the surrender" is returned

this as entirely unnecessary. Whatever is
to be done in this matter the government is
fully authorized to do without this resOlu-
ton; and the expense attending the accom-
plishment of the proposed object, including
the compensation of seven commissioners,
would, in all probability, exceed the value
of the property recovered under the act.

TO the Honorable President and Members of the
Senate:
| herewith return to your honorable body
IN act entitled AN act to provide for re
,usaton by the defendants in suits filed in
he Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh and
eighth District Courts for the parish of Or
cans, and prescribing the duties of clerks
n such cases,t without my signature.
There exists no real necessity for the pas
age of this act. 1t would certainly lead to
confusion in the administration of justice. If
defendant believes Judge is SO dishonest
n so preudiced against him that his iudg-
nent Will be influenced by ignoble cOnsid-
rations, he should make oath to that effect,
md ask tor a change of venue, or appeal to
he Supreme Court if he thinks the judy
nent given is wrong or oppressive.
Ii the General Assembly has cause to
ioubt the purity or honesty of any judge,
t should address him out of office, in ac-
ordance with the constitution.
