Veto Message.
The following is the messagcof Governor Johnson, returning without his signature the appropriation bill, on Saturday, March 7th.
State ay California, Executive .Dkfartnient,   1
Sacramento, March 7th, I.SiV7. '   [
To the Senate of California :—To your honorable body, in which the same originated, I retuin
without approval "An Act making appropriations (o defray the civil expenses of the <-oyenr
ment from the 1st of February, 1857, to the 30th
Jane, 1857, inclusive.
In the performance ol this act, it was my desire
to have presented at length the reasons which induced me to withhold my approval ; but physically indisposed as I have been since the same
was delivered to me, this fact must constitute an
apology for the brevity with which so important a
subject is considered.
As to the constitutional power of the Legislature to make all needful appropriations for the
expense of the State government, -?^ntertuiii not
a doubt; aud the reasons why I do not approve
this act, are independent of any such objections.
This act appropriates two hundred and thirty-two
thousand one hundred and sixty-nine dollars and
ninety-nine cts., (S292,169 99.) to be expended
from the first of February to July ofthe present
year, and for the payment ofthe warrants so to be
drawn, the holders of the same must necessarily
look to the revenues to he paid into the Treasurj
during the i resent fiscal year. This amount superadded to the necessary expenditures of the preceding portions of the flsc.il year, with no further
dependence than the existing revenue laws, will,
by the most liberal calculation, leave a deficiency
on the first of July, of an amount not less than
three hundred and fifty thousand dollars ($350,-
000.) We have, as a State, too long pursued a
similar system of expenditures, aud now our embarrassed financial condition is presented as the
unavoidable result. It may be too late to retrieve
the past, but not to provide security for the present.
At the opening of the present session of the
Legislature, I presented an exhibit of (lie finances
of the State, and the probable condition of affairs
on the first of July next. By that exhibit you
were informed that a deficiency of at least three
hundred thousand ($300,0000) dollars during the
present fiscal year would exist, .unless additional
revenue were resorted to. Various suggestions
were also made of measures that could be idopted;
whereby the revenue could be increased, in my
opinion amply sufficient to meet the necessary
wants of the government, Now, some two mouths
uf the session have elapsed, and although with the
present act an amount exceeding three hundred
thousand dollars ($300,000) lias been appropriated by tlie Legislature, no measures has been adopted whereby these expenditures arc to be met. Is
it uot quite time that we should stop and reflect
upon the condition of affairs, and instead of making further appropriations, fust devise ways and
means to meet these expenditures? 'Do this as
preliminary step, aud then pass your approprii
tiou bills for such purposes as are necessary, but
prohibiting the Controller from issuing his warrants on the Treasury in any case, unless the
money is there to meet it; then will the State-
for the first time in its history, have attained a
cash basis—scrip speculations alike disgraceful
to the character of the Slate and her public officers, have ceased, acd economy and frugality
marl: the administration of public affairs.
It R unnecessary for me to suggest to your honorable body that you can. by your legislation, in a
few days remedy the objections which are herein
made to the appropriation act, either by resorting
to the different modes indicated in my annual
message, or at the adoption of such other amendments to the revenue laws as you may deem advisable. By so doing, the inconvenience to those
who are the creditors of the State, and who are
anxiously awaiting the passage of an appropria
tien bill, will be but temporary, and they will he
amply requited in the substantial benefit you will
confer in providing the means to pay the warrants
they may receive.
Respectfully,
J. Neely Joiixson'

The following figures set forth the operations
of the United States Surveyor General's Office from
its organization to the present time. Some idea
of the vast amount of work performed in Ihis office
can be formed Irom the fact below set forth, that
the number of miles of survey which have been
run is 77,693, which. aB remarked, "if extended,
would more than reach three times around the
"lobe." It also appears that fully poa-Altn of the
whole State has been surveyed, ihe total area being computed at 90,403,680 acres ; and tbe total
number of acres surveyed and ready for sale is
20,532,594. This will be good news for the farmers in the Eastern States, who have turned their
eyes to this State, a large emigration of whom
may be expected as ihe wagon-road bill has become
law. There are twenty millions of acres of the
public lands upon which they may locate, beside*)
a hall' a million swamp lands belonging  to the
State,  and wbit-h   it is expected, will soou be
Ihrowo in the market:

Sticks cannot drive him away ■
He's shaggy and he's blind.
And Irs tail's cut off behind,

My mutton-chops aud sassengers have all passed

My beefsteaks they have flown, their pleasant gravy

Synopsi.s of the New Treaty with the Unitkd
States.—We copy the following synopsis of the
new treaty concluded with Mexico by Mr. Forsyth,
from the Extraordinary :
Altogether there are five treaties, each one hinging on the other, and the whole completing cue
negotiation that is intended to relieve Mexico
from her financial embarrassments and bring to
her coast a commercial fleet, and to her frontiers a
host of traders, that must, in a very few years
ive an entirely new life and activity to the cotu-
lerce on the coasts and frontiers of this Republic.
In order, we will give the main features of this
treaty :
The first provides for the establishment of a
commission for the adjudication of all the claims
of the citizens of the two Republics, respectively
against the government of the other, with the exception of such American claims as Mexico is released from by the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo.
The question of Mexican reclamations against
the United States for Indian depredations on the
frontier, under the 11th Article of the Treaty of
Guadalupe, being a mooted point between the two
Republics, it is to be submitted to the arbitrament
of the Emperor of the French. If his answer be in
favcrof Mexico, these claims are to go before the
Board of Commissioners,
The Board is to be composed of four Commissioners and two Secretaries, appointed by the two
Governments, and the Board shall be empowered
to elect a fifth member who shall act as umpire
aud decide all questions that cannot be adjusted
by the other four.
The second is a Treaty of Reciprocity, providing lor free trade, in certain articles that are enumerated, on the land and river frontiers of the two
Republics—but excluding their coast lines.
This treaty is based upon the principles of the
Reciprocity Treaty betwen the United States and
Great Britain, in reference to the Canadian frontiers.
The third is a Postal Treaty, providing for a
weekly line of mail steamers, supported by both
Governments, touching at all the ports of the two
countries ou the Gulf of Mexico, from Mobile to
Sisal.
The fourth provides for a general convention'
stipulating, among other things, for the revival
or reconstruction of the commercial treaty of
1831. tyetvi.ee the two republics, which treaty has
expired by its own limitation.
Tlie fifth is a treaty of loan and anticipation o'
duties, bv which the United States advances to
Mexico $15,000,000, at four per cent per annum.
Seven of the fifteen millions are to be repaid by
an arrangement ot f 3 per cent of the revenue o*
the Mexican custom houses, until principal and
interest are paid.
Three millions ofthe fifteen are to remain in the
United States Treasury for the payment of Arner-
cau claims to be adjudicated by the mixed commission. If this sum should not be sufficient for
the purpose oi satisfying the claims recognized
by the commission, the Mexican government is to
pay the deficit. This sum carries no interest until
it is paid out of the United States Treasury, either
to Mexico or to the American claimants.
Four millions are to he devoted by the United
States to the extinguishment of the British convention debt of Mexico.
The remaining $8,000,000 are to be ptvUl in caste
to Mexico, and is to be extinguished by an asmgn*.
ment of 20 per cent, of the Mexiciin rcTenne derived from commerce of all kinds, except In European cotton fabrics, to and from tht* Uni I ed States,,
in American or Mexican bottom-*. This 10 per
cent is to be credited to the exporter nr importer-,
as the case may be, and charged to »he United-
States on account ot the $8,000,000. Thin arrangement is to continue until the *P,u00,OO«, wiih interest, are absorbed.
 **i-**C*- . f
Ai-ii-oua Territory.
Tbe territory Is in a very had condition. The"
Apaches continue to traverse it, large bands of 50
to 150. About five thousand bead of stock arc-'
carried out of Sonora per annum by ther-e marauders, to say nothing of captivcn aud booty. The'
Government of Mexico and people «f Sonoraare
at their mercy. It would be a wise and liberal policy in-our government to purchase Sonora—whip
out tat-pe maratiderB, protect thi? p/iopl*-, -mil tle-
vclop tbe resources of that  silver Statt.
Gandara has gone to the City of Mexico for redress, and will probably soon return to Sonora as
Governor and Commandanlc-General. He is too
great a man to be put down and destroyed, and no
such finale is looked for by intelligent Mexieans*
The late civil war has destroyed ,tlie grain, and
produce of the country, and prices rnle kigh.
They would all consider a purchase by the United
States as a relief from savage depredations and
domestic tyranny.'"
Value of the Arizona Minks.—From another
letter from the Colorado we have been permitted
to make the following extracts. The writer ie ex"
cecdingly sanguine as to tbe great mineral resources of the new territory :
" By the arrival of the schooner Joannet at the
mouth of the Colorado the Arizona Mining Company received some $12,000 worth of goods and
machinery, which will nuch facilitate their operations. The Gila River Copper Mining Company,,
whose mines are only twenty-live miles above Fort-
Yuma, received by the same vessel tools, black-
smillrs shop and goods,which will enable the proprietors to work for tiie first time with adyantage.
This mine promises to yield ail that could-be hoped
or desired. Some fifteen or twenty veins have
beeu opened and the prospecting is eiill going ouf
new discoveries being made from time to time.
Four assays of the ore of this mine have resulted
as follows:—Two by Justh & Hun ter,- red oxidd'
and carbonate, 58 and 57 per cent, of metallic1
copper. One assay by Wass, Moliter Stt Co , gray
sulphuret 57 per cent; and one by George Hues-
ton, sillicate and carbonate of copper 31,5. Since
these assays other veins of gray ore and two containing blue crystals of copper have been opened,
averaging from 60 to 80 percent. The silver
mines of Mr. Douglas, at the Sopori ranch, arc reported to be exceedingly rich, and ot greatextent..
Other rich veins have been abandoned on account
of the Apaches, but when a Democratic Congress*
shall have extended over the citizens of Arizona
the protection they claim under a separate territorial organization, then these mines wilL be resumed, and add lo that great wealth which is to-
make Arizona the peer of California, as regards.1
mineral resources."— S. F. Herald.
Congressional Proceedings.
Washington, Feb. 147
The Senate debated to-day for nearly three
hours, the Dallas and Clarendon treaty. Mr. Mason sustained the policy in an elaborate speech-
vindicating the considerations upon which it had
been recommended by the Administration. Objections were urged that the British protectorate
was more distinctly recognized than under the
Clayton convention; that while the sovereignty
of the Bay Islands was nominally relinquished to
Honduras, the British possessions confirmed their
practical authority there ; and finally, that Hon
dnras, by her treaty, with a virtual renunciation
of power ever these islands, enacted the Wilmot
proviso by the exclusion of slavery.
■ After these points had been urged from various
quarters, Mr. Douglass opened in fierce assault
upon the whole arrangement, and, by a vote of 33-
to 8, the treaty was recommitted, with a view1 to-
modifications conforming to the sentiments expressed.
The house, with but little debate, and without
a syllable being uttered in reference to the slavery
question, passed the bills providing for the admis-
slon.of Oregon and Minnesota into the confederacy
as sovereign states. The bill for the relief of the?
inhabitants of Kansas, was reported by tl;i) committee ou Territories. The bill abrogates tho laws
passed by the Kansas pro-slavery Legislature, and
provides for a new election. Among other items..
$700,000 are appropriated for the pacification of
tlie savages of Oregon and Washington.
The Atlantic submarine telegraph bill has again-
been laid upon the table.
In the Senate a resolution was adopted calling.'
on the Secretary of War to communicate copies of
all correspondence not heretofore furnished relative to tlie California Vigilance Committee of 1850..
Also, a resolution calling for information as to the
results ofthe trial of camels in the military service,
A resolution to appoint a committee to ascertain
and report a mode of examining the votes for President and Vice President, and to notify them of
their election, was adopted. The Indian appropriation bill, involving a million of dollars, was passed. A bill has been introduced to secure to actual
settlers, at $2 50 per acre, the alternate sections
of pubiic lands in grants made to Stales for railroad purposes.
De.Ube.—This distinguished and venerable man
of science died on,the 2d inst.. in Loudon, at the-
age of 89 years. He is well known by his writings-
in the United States, especially Ivy his "Dictionary
of Arts. Science aud Mining," which has no equal
in any language.
