To the Honorable President and Members of the

1 return without my approval an act
originating in the Senate amending the
charter of the city of New Orleans. | be-
lieve the opinion is general among those
best acquainted with city affairs, that some
radical change In the existing form of city
government is necessary, and as this bill
has at least the merit of providing for
reduction Of expenditures, l was prepared
to give it my approval. A communication,
however, was presented to Inc last evening.
signed by the respective legislative com
mittees of the Cotton Exchange and Cham
Der of Commerce requesting me not to sign
the bill. as nay doing SO might impede the
efforts being made to assist the city out OF
its difficulties. The gentlemen whose names
are appended to this memorial are SO largely
Interested in the prosperity and good gov
eminent of the city, that yield to their
views. and by vetoing the bill remit the
whole question to the Legislature.

THE STORM SATURDAY MORNING,

THE STORM SATURDAY MORNING
Those who were up early enough Satur-
day morning had fire opportunity to
see one Of the sublimest sights in the
way of an elemental war ever beheld.
The heavens, late Friday night, were re-
markably clear. There was deep, clear
horizon that was strikingly notice
able, and it really seemed
as if all vestige of cloud and rain had
disappeared. The sky continued spot,
less until four o'clock in the morning
when it was as clear as the waters of a
mountain stream. Shortly after four
o'clock q small cloud was noticed in the
west by those who were up, which grew
rapidly until it reached the city.
Those who saw it say the cloud
was peculiar in appearance; that while
it was very dense, it was not black, but
of rather a blue color Soon the cloud
spread itself over the city, which was, in
very few minutes, shrouded in the
darkness.
1t came with gust like m army
Storming on II castle. Persons sleeping
soundly in their rooms were suddnly
awakened by the clapping of
the window shutters and the swapping of
the timbers of the trees. For about an
hour the rain poured down as If the res
eryoir sof the heavens had burst, and
the streets were quickly flooded. This
was.accompanicd by tremendous wind
which really struck the houses in spots
where it was most severe. The flash of
the lightning was followed almost in
stantly by the crash of the thunder. In
short the storm was terrible while it con-
tinued, and many persons We're greatly
frightened.
The damage done in the city was not
as great as was expected, but it was
enough in the way of breaking down
shade trees signs, fences, &c, especially
on the Island.
Reports from the country inform us that
the wind did great damage to wheat, oats,
corn and timber We cannot possibly
ascertain the damage done, but one thing.
is certain if variety is the spice Of the
weather, as well rs of life, the weather
clerk must be getting spice enough.
