Thereafter, however, I declined to )f issue the bonds granted by theact tothe com a pany, because I did not consider the mort y gage bonds of the road, which were offered to n me, met, in several particulars, the require Smeats of the law. Thereafter a second man t damus proceeding was provoked, upon which the Supreme Court decided adversely to the i railroad company, and the bonds have conse L queantly remained unissned. I advise the re peal of theact, because 1f not repealed it will d stand upon the statute books as a perpetual 8 offer to the company of State bonds, and might be availed of by it even after the com pletion of the road by apd from other sources. BOARD or HALTET AND QUARANTINE. The ravages of the last yellow fever epi e demic, which prevailed so destructively in the n city of New Orleans and in .ther portions of tthe State during the summer and fall months f of the year just gone by, point to the fact that no more important subject requires your at f tention than the consideration of the measures f necessary to prevent its recurrence. It is a question affecting not only the life and hap piness of the people of the State, but also their material advancement. There exists some dlfference of opinion as to whether the vellow fever is always brought to New Orleans, or whether it sometimes origi nates here. There exists also dlfference of opinion as to the effectiveness of quarantine as a measure of safety against the Introduction and spread of the disease. It is argued that the summer trade of New Orleans is to be jeopardized upon mere conjectures, and it is contended that the occupation of many of her good citizens is to be broken up on the strength of mere theories. I am satisfied that no injury will ever be inflicted upon any portion of the community under circum stances where wrong will be added to injury, but the very basis of all society is that indi vidual good must yield to that of the public, and it is the part of wisdom to throw the ben edt of the doubt in favor of the lesser evil. We have to select between two theories. The finrst one, if it be correct, may secure the in terest of a small class, but, if it is wrong, may cause the sacrifice of a large number of lives as well as large property interests. The second, theory, if it be a true one, saves a whole people, and, if it be an erroneous one, injures only a comparatively small number of persons, that interest being simply a moneyed one. The adoption of one theory keeps open the trade through the mouth of the Mississippi river; but the keep ing open of that trade will be at the risk of losing and shutting off the whole inland trade. The experience of this year in this e spect should not be overlooked in reaching the conclusions. I believe the only way of thor oughly testing the efficacy of quarantine as a means towards preventing the introduction from foreign ports of yellow fever Into New Orleans and other portions of Louisiana, is by removing opportunities for evasions re sorted to for the promotion of private inter eats and cupidity. When, therefore, the State Board of Health announces that, in its opin ion, there exist sufficient grounds for enforc ing a quarantine against foreign infected ports, no vessel, person or article should be permitted to enter the port of the city of New Orleans, or any other port of the State open to the Gulf of Mexico, so long as the necessity for quarantine continues to exist. The Board of Health and all officers connected with the quarantine service should be placed beyond the power of either deception or temptation. A board composed of thorough ly representative men would not be likely to exercise lightly the power of establishing quarantine when its resulte would be so seri ous to a portion of the business community. There could be no motive for its doing so. Between the pressure which, beyond all doubt, would be brought to bear upon it in favor of tardily exercising this pow er, and the responsibility which would attach to the board saould it improperly yield to this pressure, it would be safe to as sume that the board would take its conscience and judgment as Its only guide. There is one branch of the subject of quar r antine which must not be overlooked. I refer to the police power granted by section 2453 and the' sixteenth paragraph of section 2743 t of the Bevised Statutes. It would be incon sistent to legislate in favor of a right of pro tection by quarantining against foreign ports and deny a similar right against an inland 1 place where the disease actually exists. The I right, therefore, must be conceded, but its ex ercise should be regulated. I invite, there fore, your attention to the ascertainment of some method which shall place this right un der some uniform regulation. The Board of Health of the city of New Orleans is the pro per authority to control the inspection of cat tle intended for slaughter for its market, and I desire that the power of appointing an in spector, now vested in me, be transferred to the board, fixing, at the same time, a salaried compensation, and making the fees now al loweda part of the revenues of the board. This course will add to the efficiency of the inspec tion and increase the public revenues. THE STATB PRINTING. In December of 1877 the Printing Board entered into a contract with George W Dupre for the 8tate printing, under act No. 0 of 1877. Under the provisions of that law the board was convened in December, 1878, rr the purpose of making a new contract. lowest bid offered was that of George W. D and he bhail simultaneously with his produced they wrttea consent of eetars. and to become his hies, t e bard, oan 1tlry ailtetisfae tory yes ovdok inv. ,, pled the v bI! . t quested Mr. bupre to atera m whether he proposed to oiaer additoaal seouritiesl aad t reoelved a reply which was substantially to the ehset that he joined liea with the Auditor on the correctness of his conclusion; r in other words, contending that the contract was complete and the rights of parties legally fixed by it. The rejection of the securities, coupled with the fact that no steps were taken to test the action of the State Auditor, place matters in an embarrassing and anom alous situation. The old contract, which, by law, was to continue until the new one should take effect, was secured as to its performance by the same securities that were rejected for the new one, and was at much higher rates than the new one. At the same time that the bid of Mr. Dupre was received there were two others received, both of them at higher rates than that of Mr. Dupre, but Voth at rates exceedingly advantageous to the State. Those bids were not acted on by reason of the action taken on the lowest bid. When the complication arose resulting from the re jection of the securities I convened the board, with the object of taking such action in the premises as it would deem proper. An inter change of views at this meeting resulted In a resolution declaring that the board did not feel authorized to act in the matter, this resolution being based on the idea that the State Printer is a State officer, and that the failure to give the bond required by law operated a vacancy in the office, whlch should be filled by the Executive under existing laws. I have the most serious doubt as to the correctness of this conclusion. I prefer that you should dispose of these doubts by express action on the subject. If the rights of Mr. Dupre be fixed as claimed, they should be maintained under the contract as made. Should you adopt the views of the board, and so inform me by resolution, I will proceed at once to make a contract under reservations such as to guard the in terests of the State from an absolute contract and at the same time afford an opportunity to the party claiming the contract already made to test his rights. During the summer I had handed to me a copy of a special report of the grand jury of the parish of Orleans, in which the attention of the law officers of the State was requested to be directed to cer tain alleged overcharges for work done, and asserted to have been not legally authorized, and for which warrants had Issued. This report was submitted to the Attorney General on his return from a temporary ab sence with the request that he examine into the matter and report to me his conclusions. He informs me, as the result of an investiga tion made by him with the assistance of ex perts, that he does not think the facts will warrant a criminal prosecution against the State Printer, and that whilst the report of the utnpire shows a ,larger amount claimed than in his (the umpire) opinion was due, that there existed a difference of opinion among printers on the subject matter. He informs me that he intends testing this question ju dicially and that in the meantime the war rants will not bepaid. I have the pleasure to report to the General e Assembly that Mr. William W. Corooran, a i- much esteemed citizen of the District of Co v lumbla, and a man of great public spirit and a benevolence, has, since your last meeting, e presented to the State of Louisiana, through a its Executive Department, a large and fine painting of the battle ot New Orleans, the f work of Mr. Lamee, a celebrated French I artist. This painting has been assigned a temporary place in the State-House, in the a city of New Orleans, awaiting its final de i posit by the General Assembly of the State - in some of the State buildings or other public a place.' I recommend that the thanks of the I General Assembly, in the name of the people of Louisiana, be communicated to the phi lanthropic donor of this acceptable gift. The reports of the various heads of depart ; ments mnd public institutions having been I unavoidably delayed, I shall probably take or r caslon, at some future day, to make to you such further recommendations as may be deemed necessary for the public well being. Upon you devolves the grave duty of car rying on the work of relieving the people of this State from all the burdens consequent upon so many years of misgovernment, of I preserving the public faith, of the lifting up of D the standard of this great commonwealth to r its former condition of prosperity and hap piness. I am assured that you bring to the dischargeof your constitutional duties a high sense of the great responsibility which they I entail. The constitution, by which these du I ties are imposed and limited, in many par ticulars, will restrain you in your legitimate desire to effectuate good for the people of the State. The last General Assembly having experienced this restraint, sought to remove it by submitting amendments to the organic law correcting many abuses which were be yond legislative control. The failure to adopt these amendments leaves open to you the entire constitutional revision as the only remaining measure of entire relief. The proper and opportune period is particularly within the reach of your just deciseln. Should, however, your judgment point to its opportunity before the next general election, then it seems to me the earlier the necessary fiscal legislation can be devised the better, as to enable you to adjourn attheearliest sible moment after providing for the conven tion, thus saving the cost of a prolonged slon.
