The veto message follows: To tho Senate of "Virginia: "l LereArith return Senate Bill No. 2-1.7, •ntltled "£n fict to amend and re-enact sgs g C j;on 95 of the Code of Virginia, relat inE to the appointment of county sur vtvor anJ superintendents of the poor as to'iha county of Tazewell," without my iipl'rovai. This rs a measure of seemingly little importance, yet it Involves a principle for ; -which I vetoed "House Bill Xo. 173, re latiag to tb e appointment of assessors of lanfis for the county of Warwick." This measure changes the appointment of county surveyor and superintendents of the poor, and 5n my opinion Is con trary to good public policy. For this rea soivimd also at the request of the honor able representative from Tazewell, whose people alone- are affected by the imme diate provisions of the bill, I return it without my approval. Section 93 of the Code provides that ■■-•■ d; county court judge, upon the re-; commendation of the board of supervi sors* of Ms county, shaJl, at the May term of his court, in the year IS9I and every fourth year thereafter, appoint, for each county in which he holds his court. one county surveyor and one superin tendent oftlie poor; provided, that such judge may, if he thinks proper, reject the recommendation; and unless the Board of Supervisors recommend other persons fcu'.table in his opinion for said offices within thirty days after their first re commendation has been rejected, he shall fill the said onices, or cither of them, by his own appointment in term or in vaca tion." This bill amends this section by providing that "the County Court ot, Tazewell country or the judge thereof in vacation, shall appoint a superintendent of the poor and a county surveyor with out the recommendation of the Board of curc-rvlsors of said county of Tazewell." it i 3 not necessary to enter into the cifCUESion of the merits of the general leav, or recount the reasons that might be given for or against this Proposed tPecial Iclv,-. I would only call attention to the advisability of having general laws on all such subjects, and of adhering Etrictly to them. The number of special acts which now encumber our statute books are strong arguments In favor of this principle. The Constitution, Article VI., sc-ction 20, wisely provides in regard ■to cities that "no special act shall be passed except. in cases when, in the judg ment of the General Assembly, the object of such act cannot be attained by gene ral la-aY" It is to be regretted that the provisions of th's clause of the Constitu tion do not apply to counties, and. In fact, to all subjects of legislation, as well us to cities. OPPOSES SPECIAX, ACTS. :;. An" examination of our statute-books t:;ov;s that the practice of passing special «*iv Jt °' the People.

Judge Mann stated that the passage of the delinquent land' act wa? an admis sion on ths part of Use General Assembly that the olllcers of the Commonwealth v.'ere not equal, to the task of collecting the taxes due her. His bill seeks to com pel treasurers to. sell land delinquent, first paying the taxes and costs of pro cedure, and then turning over the resi due, if there be any, to the person or persons entitled to it. Judge Mann spoke briefly, but very earnestly, for the pas sage of the substitute. SIR. JEFFRIES OPPOSES. . Mr. Jeffries spoke for his bills, and against tho substitute. He argued that the cost to tho land-owner under -tho substitute would be much greater than under the measures which he proposed. Ho also objected to the substitute as be ing too much like the original .law, as it existed prior to its repeal by the last General Assembly. Mr. AVickham thought that while the objectof Mr. Mann's substitute was, to soften the rigors_ of the land-grabbers' lav/, its working would be precisely the revers. The necessities of the State did not demand tho enactment of such a severe measure. Mr. LAipton very briefly urged the pas sage of the bills offered by Mr. Jeffries, and Mr. Cogbill, in a short speech, es poused the same side. Mr. Cogbill called attention to the fact that the Mann bill put a premium upon delinquency, or the sale of delinquent land. Under the bill a treasurer- would receive $50 for collect ing taxes by selling the land, whereas, he would receive 50 cents for collecting the same taxes without sale. JUDGE MANX IN REPLY. Judge aMmh vigorously defended his bill. He denied that the cost to the de linquent under his biir would be greater than under the Jeffries bills. Judge •Mann was inaJciiig a very able speech for his bill when Mr. Munford moved to ad journ until Monday. The motion pro vailed. SENATE BILLS PASSED.

In the absence of Speaker Saunders, who had gone to' his home, in Franklin county, Mr. Ryan presided in the chair. Tho feature or the session wa's the discussion of the land-grabbers' act, which will probably occupy the House for several days. When House Bill 31S, providing for reg ulating the salaries of . members and officers of tho House of Delegates, was reached, there was a brief, but warm, de bate between Major Barclay; its author, and Mr. John Whitehead, of Norfolk. Major Barclay made a strong appeal for the passage of the measure at once, and Mr Whitehead wanted it passed by. The land-grabbers' substitute, the special or der fixed lor 1 P- M.. was taken up, and further debate on the Barclay measure was cut off. ? . Mr Anderson, who has taken prece dence as the champion of a new delin quent tax law, took' the -iloor and spoke in advocacy of his bill. Ho spoke nearly two hours, urging the necessity for new legislation on tho subject of taxation, and emphasizing the provisions of his bill which he offered as a substitute for that which emanated from the commit ted He was interrupted by Mr. Pilcher, and agreed to yield for a motion to ad journ, with the understanding that >c tliould have the floor again on Monday..

Why is this? 'Common whiskey contains 'fusel oil.' It is a . poison, deadly and insinuating-. It acts on the. blood to separate the •hemogloben (or the vital portion) of that fluid from the blood corpuscles. What results? Such separation means a de struction of the ozonizing- property, and the blood goes through . the system, viti ated, impoverished, and" faiiing : ot its duty. Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey has no" fusel •■ oil, and it actually binds .the hemoglobin to the corpuscles, and in cieases the ozonizing 1 ; property: But, more than this, common whiskey de presses botlv the rate and depth of the respiration, while .
