WASHINGTON, March 28.-The President
vetoed the bill for the relief of John l..
Hanks. Of New Orleans. The grounds of
the veto are that the moneys taken from
the State Bank at New Orleans in 1862,
were accounted for to the Secretary of the
Treasury, and the name of DR.. John l..
Hanks does not appear among them.
The Senate Committee on Pcstotfices
have agreed to report q bill increasing the
China mail subsidy to 81 100000.
The bill for the depot of the Baltimore
and Potomac railroad in Washington (the
Pennsylvania Central versus the Baltimore
and Ohio road, efforts at compromise
failing, the minority Ies0rted to tilibusrer-
ing, when the House adjourned to Monday,
when it is expected the Pennsylvania Cen
trail will triumph by a two thirds vote.
The President to day sent the following
message:
To the House of Repres, natives:
| herewith. returu 1or the further consid-
Grafton Of Con ,ress, without my approval,
House bill No. 1870 an act for the relief of
the estate of Dr. john +. Hanks, for the
reason that the cords of the Treasury
Department show nat the current moneys
taken by Colone! 5. b. Holabird from
the Louisiana Sc Bank, of New
Orleans. in the mu.th of August 1862.
were accounted for Y that O1hcer TO tie
Treasury Department, and the names of
the depositOrS given. and that the name OF
Dr. john F. Hanks does not appear among
them.
1t also appears, from he records Of the
Treasury Department, that among the
effects taken from the Louisiana State
Bank, of New Orleans, was the sum of
Sl729 III confederate money, and that the
said sum stood upon the books of said
bank to the credit OF J. +. Hanks. 1t is but
Justice, however, to the executors OF the
estate of DR.. Hanks to state that there is
every reason to believe that the money de-
posted by DR.. Hanks in the louisiana
State Bank was i'll current funds,
and that when application was
made to Congress for the recovery of the
same. they believed and had evidence to
satisfy them that such funds had found
their way into the treasury of the United
States There has uBquestionably been Il
mistake made either by the officers of the
Louisiana State Bank or the persons en-
gagged in removing the funds of that bank,
by which the estate of Or. Hanks l.. loser
to the amount Of relief afforded by House
bill No 1850.
