ALBANY, May 5.-The Governor sent a

item viz:
For the incidental and travelling expenses OF com

dred and ninety, which have been may be Au :hor
lied by resolution OF their respective Houses to con
duct Investigations nve thousand dollars
Regarding this item the Governor says:
1T will be observed that no particular COM
mittees are specified for which this appropra-
ton is desired but 1t is intended for any and
all committees which may have been or may
be authorized to conduct Investigations.
This is altogether too general. There is mani
fest Improperly in the Executive approving
appropriations for travelling and other eN-
renses OF investigating committees not yet az:
pointed. and OF the purposes and objects OF
whose appointment whether meritorious or
othe wise. he can have no knowledge. must
respectfully decline 10 act in the dnrk in re-
gard to such matters. 1t Is possible that 1t may
be contemplated that one or more OF such COM
mittees should sit during the coming summer.

Continuing. tho Governor saws that there arc
several other items in the bill which do not
from which he has withheld his approval in
other years but the Legislature. having seen
III to runew such appropriations this year, he
dlt not consider it his duty to again interpose
