Bills Vetoed by the Governor.
We give below a number of the Cap
tions of bills passed by the General As
sembly at its late session, and disapproved,
by the Gbvdrrior, together with his rea
sons therefor :
A bill for the relief of married and indi
gent soldiers.
This act was vetoed on the ground that
the provision :of the Constitution requir
ing a twothirds vote, and the calling of the
ayes and nays and their entry upon the
journals of the two Houses had not been
complied witii.
A bill to amend the various acts incor
porating Fletcher Institute in the town of
Thomasville, 'J horaas county.
Was vetoed because the bill was in vio
lation of article 3,’ section (5, paragraph 5,
of the Constitution of 1868. > • /-,•
A bill to authorize the Chattahoochee
Manufactuding Company to have surveyed
three small islands in the Chattahoochee
R iver, constituting a portion of the dam.
and also to authorize the Governor to make
titles to the same.
This Hill, proposing to donate certain
Islands in the Chattahoochee River belong
ing to the State, to 6 manufacturing com
pany, was disapproved on the ground of
its violating article 3, section 0, paragraph
2, of the Constitution of 1868.
A bill to provide for the transaction of
business and the hearing and determining
of causes in the Court3 of Ordinary of this
S.tate whenever the Ordinary is providen
tially absent from his Court or otherwise
disqualified.
This bill was disapproved upon the Con
stitutional ground, that it seeks to vest in
an attorney, to be selected by the parties
under certain circumstances the powers
which under the Constitution are vested
exclusively in .the Ordinaries of the coun
ties. Other features m the bill are also
objectionable.
j A bill to provide for the removal of the
county site of Coffee county from Douglass
to such place on the Brunswick and Al
bany railroad as the tax payers may by
ballot direct, etc. ■ ; -
1 he bill was disapproved upon the ground
that the removal of the county town of
Coffee county contemplated and provided
for Hi ibe bill, is made conditional upon |
the creation of the new county of Nicholls;
that bill having failed, the passage of this
bill becomes unnecessary.
A bill to change the name of the Geor
gia 'ui.htary Institute aud to incorporate
the same. (This bio > va s submitted to the
Attorney General, who returned tnd opin
ion that the bill is in violation of article three
section six. paragraph five of the Constitu
tion of ISGB.) The bill was disapproved
for this reason.
A bill to preserve unimpaired the right
of trial by jury.
This bill was disapproved on the grounds
that it would unsettle the administration
of the-criminal law by the courts. Juror*
are not. as a general thing, learned in she
and to require them to become judges
of the law w Hl»in the meaning of tin., bill i
would ijt unjust to ‘bem, perilous to the |
rights of perfioW on trial *l r crime, ami j
damaging to the public! interests. fbe ■
opinion of the Supreme Court, j : P the case
of Brown vs. the State in the 40th .Geor
gia Reports, construes section 464 G the
Code correctly in my judgment. Instead
of being left to grope in the dark in* search
of the law, consulting thsjyr “internal sug-
i OFFICE, UKeiGHTOX ST., -
( iiuilaing. j
gestions." and frequently under the i : ffi i
once of prejudice, pjeited in tin'll* Turn] -
by the eloquent appeals of con; se], jurors
snould take the law from the court,.and
applying it to the hurts.from tie withes; es,
find a general verdict., of guilty or not guil
ty. Besides. I very greatly doubt the power
of the Legislature to strip the courts of
their judical power by providing that they
shall nut have the right to say what the
ia\\ is in criminal cases properly within
their jurisdiction.
lliu Legislature has no power to trans
fertile judical authority of the courts to
the juries! and compel the former to übdh
gate their fuuetious in favor of the latter-

The lute attempt to rob the express of
fice at Hickman. Kentucky—a' full account
of which we gave a ftw days ago—follow
ing so quickly upon the train robbery on
the Iron Mountain road at Gadshill, Mis
suri, has aroused and alarmed the-’ express
officials, and suggested to them the' advisa
bility of adopting such measures as the
lawless and perilous state of the .thugs
would seem to demand. In a. conversation,
yesterday, with Mr. J. O'Brien, General
Superintendent of the Southern Express
Company, who is fit present in the- city,
one ofom- reporters learned that, since the
occurrence of the Hickman-’ robbery, spe
cial instructions had been issued to all
agents and employees of the company,
calling upon 4 hem for increased vigilance
and watchfulness; also t hat a guard now
accompanies each messenger, both of
Whom are’atmeu with’ a pair of six shoot
ers/and their emphatic instructions are to
shoot any stranger or looking
person who attempts ,to . enter their car.
Every express agent along the. different
lines of railroad has also been provided
with arms and striokly enjoined to keep
the same in readiness for immediate use.
in ease they are called uj on to protect
themselyes (h- the property in their charge;
and as an inducement to the'employes (he
fcompanv lias not only promised to stir,
round them .with every legal protection,
but also to pecuniarily reward these who
successfully protect it's property. In fact,
the express company has determined to
make it "hot" for these audacious rase;ls
should-they ever dare to another at
tempt to rob an express messenger or an
express office, and the company wll Cer
tainly have the good wishes o; tile commu
nity in its praiseworthy and plucky delerm
ation.
It has been tlic ui d n_ , idtrng policy of the
Southern Txpress •Cbiirpany. from - its in
ception to tire present to spare neither ef
fort nor expense in capturing and bring
ing to justice all desperadoes who have
robbed tlMrt or attempted to do so, and. in
fiearly every instance the company lias met
wit'll success, though not a few of the rob
bers have managed to elude the company's
detectives for two and three years before'
being caught, thus entnU&g thousands of!
dollars expense on the express company; •
in fact, in many coses the expense attend- j
fng th'** Capture t f the thieves has far ex- J
ceedcd the amount originally stolen. Tn j
j accordance with this commendable spirit
jof j uissuing the guily till their cgpti ie it
effected. the company has taken -steps
looking to the speedy capture of the Gad-
I shill aud llickmmt.rohbers. I reply to our
question. Mr. DTMeprsaid it would be in
judicious to make known the measures
which the company has adopted with that
view. biit».the public! might feel assured
that the matter was in trustworthy hands,
