II. j. r. No. - "A joint resolution for. the

Respectfully,
JULIUs JUNKERMANN,
G1reTuOr's Prirate Secretary.
10 the House Of Representatives.
ESTL EMEN- L herewith return u the
House, in which they originated, several bills
which have failed to meet my approval.
These bills were passed during the closing
hours Of the last Legislature and many of
the errors which they contain may justly be
attributed to the hurried manner in which
they We're considered and enrolled.
II. Il. No. 10 entitled An Act t. Incor-
porate the Greenville and Deer Greek Plank
Road, Forwarding and transportation Com
pany, sections and {, provide that the
Board Of Supervisors Of " Washington county
may ALLEVIATE to private corporation, with
out consideration, public roads and bridges
belonging to a county The act also allows
the company exclusive control of street ex-
tending through the Incorporated town %
Greenvllle, without providing for damages,
in case vested corporate rights are nterfered
with 1t grants exclusive ferry privileges
without requiring the company to provide
ample accommodation for the business 1t
proposes to control.
H. b. No 373, entitled IN Act 10 Incor-
70 ho Il ca RaDl-
and II. b. No. 4G6 entitled AN Act to Au-
thorize the construction and use of Street
car Railway in the town Of East Pascagoula.'
Neither of the acts conform to the require
ments of section % of article f. of the Con-
stitution of the State.
H. B. No 404, entitled AN Act To Incor-
porate the Mutual Benefit and Health Assoc
citation of I azoo County, affords no guaran-
tee that it Is intended tor laudable purposes.
Section provides that the members of said
corporation may meet together at some con-
venient place at some convenient time
and annually thereafter" a sheriff might
lind trouble in locating their place of bust
ness under such indefinite directions.
I'll. b. No. 450, entitled An Act to incor-
porate the Mississippi Insurance Company"
provides for the commencing a general
property, life and marine insurance business,
with fifty thousand dollars subscribed, and
only five thousand paid up capital
stock. A door for swindling Is opened in this
bill, as no restrictions are laid upon amount OF
liabilities the company may assume on this
small amount of capital provided for.
H. b. No. 303, entitled "a An Act to incor-
porate the town of Lodi, in Choctaw county,
This bill can have no practical effect, mol
limits TO the town are described. The provis-l
ion, that the corporate limits shall extend
one-half mile north south, east and west |
from central point, ls so indefinite as to lead
To possible litigation and trouble.
III. b. No. 527, entitled AN Act TO incor- |
gorate the Louisiana and Texas Steamship
Company" The fact that Wm. NJ. Tweed
numbered among the incoTporators casts 4
cloud over this bill. Section 3 restricts the |
obligations of public carriers. The incorpo- |
rators are only liable to the amount of their |
stock. No definite amount of capital stock |
is provided for and consequently no redress |
is made certain in case the company fails to
meet its liabilities
III. B. No. Sal, entitled IAN Act relative to |
the New Orleans, Mobile and Chattanooga |
Railroad Company This Act reeites and |
renews an Act-see page 1872 to 34S, laws of |
1861 which complies with the present STATE |
Constitution. n
H. J. r. No. u IA Joint Resolution for |
the relief of Drs Harvey and Divine" The |
relief asked for in this case is for surgical |
operations and medical attentions on State |
prisoner, Andrew Jackson Article l32, |
page 127, Revised Code of 1857, provides for /
the payment of such accounts as this. The |
resolution does not state that Drs. Harvey |
and Divine have not already been paid under /
the Statute, nor does it locate them or state |
where the services were performed.
In the above recited Acts the Legis, ature /
is placed in the false position of representing /
the interest of private individuals at the ex- /
pense of the State, and without due regard |
for the general interest and protection Of the
people
Upon reconsideration, trust YOU viii agree
with me that they ought rot to become laws.
