To Honorable tie President and members of the
return herewith, without my signature,
Senate bill entitled IAN act providing IL.
the establishment of parish official journals
throughout the State, defining the character

tied to perform and fixing the price

1t seems to me this law is inexpedient at
} the present time.

TO Che Fonosst!s Gresidest and Members Of the
return TO The Senate with nv veto an
act originating in your honorable body en-
tltled AN act to grant additional time to
the New Orleans, Mobile and Texas Rail
road Company for the construction of a
railroad by said corporation between the
Mississippi river opposite New Orleans
CarrOllton or Jefferson and the Sabine river.
IN the direction. of Houston, and thence to
Houston
1t would be useless 20 sign this extension ,
OF time now as there is no certain prospect
OF an immediate commencement of work
on the rOads. The approval of the &C. would
give the company only few months extern
sion, which would be useless to them ana
embarrassing to the State at the present
'times Should public interests Sequire that
an extension Of time be given the railroad,
the Legislature being in session, can imme-
diate!y pass p bill to that effect

Is enough, if, indeed, TIERS should. be any
fects.
Such a law. h srv opinion. woufd bs o,
doubtful benefit. il not an actual injury, to !
the poor man, whose interests it isdOubt- J
less intended to subserves. 1t is far more
important to AiHt that he should be able to :
obtain credit from time to time than that }
he should be able to- escape the payment of Z
obligations which he may incur. Any law !
which in effect forbids prudent tradesmen !
or landlord % give credit deprives the poor 7
OF this greater benefit. 1t seems to me
that the law should gather aim at securing
the greatest certainty in the enforcement of |
all obligations. In the long run more good /
tothe larger number will be in this way Sc (
