A singular hallucination, say that paper, has for some time past possessed the mind oi a gentleman connected with the Georgia Railroad shops in this city. A understand it, he persistently professei have had a revolution that he would be called upon Thursday lest, 7th instant, to close nj his ca:thly a. count*, and be committed to hi: mother dust. So iiupri ssed was he with tin c« rtainty < f the change to take place, that he freely predicted it among his fellow-workmeu, with one ot whom he arranged to have bull ot the shops tolled at a specitied hou tho appointed day. On Wednesday he dis charged the duties of his position with usual and uninterrupted fidelity, yet still earner the prediction of his death on the morrow.— Thursday morning lie arose in usual self-pos session, and, calm as if projecting a day’s fes tivity. proceeded to array himself in his Sun day best paraphernulia, to meet the summons of the dread monster of whom preachers warn and sinners tremble. His (as ho supposed) last toilet completed, he calmly laid him down ou his bed, folded his arms, clos ed his eyes aud lips, straitened out fill length -determined to die in “ship shape”— and quietly awaited the hour of Lii anticipated * departure. Tho timo arrived —the shop bell tolled-and yet our 1 breathed. But he w;. - patient, and. confident that there could be possibly but a few minutes difference iu his predicted aud tho true chro nology ot tho important event which li had taken so much trouble to prepare for, he main tained his dying position, awaiting with mar tyr faith the “shuffling off the mortal coil.”— With all his might and main he essayed to die dead, but the thing wouldn’t “shuffle.” Just Lis patience at the delay had worn threadbare, his son, a youth of sufficient summers to ap preciate the diversion of a day’s sport with a fowling piece, stepped into another apartment of the house, nnd called out, iu a somewhat brusque manner, “Mother, I w ant father’s big gun, to go"— The remainder of the sentence was lost in the sentorian tones which reverbe rated from the would be dying man’s chamber, pronouncing, “No, I’ll bo if you shall have that gun ; I’m not dead yetand, a mo ment later, the astounded youth lound it heal thy to vacate the premises, to save himself from tho indignation of his recuperated futher.

The next eeriooe difficulty whioh President Pieroo wen culled unofe to tuoonnter at the oommonaeineut of hie administration was a diepnto concerning tho boundary line between the Mexican proviuco of Chihuahua and New Mexioo. During his administration the passage of the Kausas-Nubraska act, Muy 27, 1854, aud the repeal of the Missouri compromise uot were regarded as ominous of much future trouble. Yiolouco and bloodshed prevailed in that uuhappy Territory, and the House of Representatives, on the 19th of March, 1855, appointed a committtee of three to proceed thither, investigate tho whole inattor and re port. As the autumn advanced, aud tho Presidential oleotion approached, disturbances wore less frequent aud general.

Death of Kx.President Franklin Pierce Tho following dispatch announcing the death of ex-President Franklin Pierce, has been in ill health for some time, wa ceivcd iu this city yesterday morning: Concord, N. II., Oct. 9—To J. D. Hoover: — Ex-President Fierco died early this (Friday) morning. Funeral will probably take place on Monday next J. Minot. Franklin Pierce was born at Hillsboro, Now Hampshire, on tho 23d day of November, 1804, and upou his election to tho Presidency had just reached his forty-eighth year. He entered Bowdoin college at Brunswick, Maine, iu 1820, and amongst his fellow-stu dents aud associates were men who have since made their mark high in tho niche of fame. It will bo sufficient to name Professor Stowe, Nathaniel Hawthorne, the pious Caldwell aud Pic chivalrous Cilley. While at college lie was made the chairman of tho Athenian i ety, aud first displayed his inclinations lor the pride, pomp aud circumstances of glorious war as an officer of a military company cor posed of his fellow-collegians. After leaving college Franklin Pierce becan a student oi law in the office of Judge Wooi bury, of Portsmouth, aud from thence lie we to the law school at Northampton, in Mass chusetts, aud finished his preparatory studi iu tho office of Judge Parker, at Amherst. ] the year 18*27 he was admitted to the bar, ar began to practice in his native town, lit! wi not very successful iu his earliest rases, bi a proof of bis indomitable will aud self rtl anco is recorded in his earliest eases, i the remark made by him to a friend who wished to condole with him on the loss of a case, “I will try nine hundred and ninety-nine cases, and if I fail just ns I hav to-day I will try the thousandth.” He felt the strength within him, nnd knew that time would bring it out. In 1829 ho was elected a representative of his native town to the Legisluturoof tho State, and served in that body for four years, tho last two years as speaker, to which ottico he was chosen by n vote greater than two thirds. Ho was elected to Congress in 1833, and was a member ot the Judiciary and other im portant committees. He continued in the IIouso cf Representa tives four years, and in 1837 ho was elected to the Senate, and in June, 1842, ho resigned his seat and retired to tho sweets of country life, taking up agaiu his profession to repair by its practice the inroads which the public service had made upon his means. In 1834 ho married a daughter of tho Rev. Dr. Appleton, a former President of Bowdoin College. In 1838 ho removed from Hillsboro to Con cord, where he sedulously applied himself to the duties of his profession, aud u here l.o ful filled the promise of his youth. In 1816 ho was offered by President Polk tho pest of Attorney General of tho United States, which ho modestly declined iu consid eration of tho interests of his clients and tho health of Mrs. Pierce. He had previously been tendered by the Governor of his State the appointment of United States Senator, which ho declined for similar reasons. In his letter to President Polk, declining tho Attorney Genera Mi ip, this passage oc- When I resigned my seat in tho Senate, iu 1842, I did so with tho fixed purpose ncvoi again to be voluntarily separated from my family for any cousiderablo length of time, except at tho call of my country iu time of And this contingency did soon pr« s» lit it self. for shortly alter, in 1847, when tho Stato of New Hampshire was culled upon to 1 uisli ns proportion of troops for tho Mcxicuu war, Mr. Ptorco enrolled himself a member ot one of the first volunteer companies of Con cord, and performed tho duties of private in tho ranks; and on tho passage of tho bill for tho increase of tho array ho received the ap pointment of colonel of tho 9th regiment, und i March ofthe no ye brigade r g* n*ml in tho army. Until tho ►htllilit •t tho hi nt t ha t history lie part ■ being nearly o, and, 1 December, when tho wn concluded and negotiations for pone settled, ho returned to his loved hoi resigning his commission, applied hi the practice of tho law. Iu 1850, in pursuance of a vote of the peo ple of New Hampshire, a convention wuw as- scmbled for tho review of the Constitution, und Gen. Pierce was elected its President by u unanimous vote. On the 12th of Juno tho Democratic Na tional Convention assembled at Baltimore in order to select a candidate for tho Presidency of tho United States. Many mum s, eminently distinguished in peuco and war, had been brought boforo the public during several months previous, and among them, though by no means occupying a very prominent place, was tho uanio of Franklin Pierce. Tho Con vention continued four days, and Franklin Pierce was nominated on the forty-ninth bal lot, he receiving two hundred and eighty-two, nil the other candidates receiving eleven. On the 4th of March, 1853, he was inaugu rated tho fourtoonth President of the United States. The oath ol office was administered to him by Chief Justice Taney. Threo days after his inauguration the Sen ate in special session confirmed the following as the members of his Cabinet: William L. Marcy, Secretary of Stato; James Guthrie, Secretary of tho Treasury;Robert McClelland, Secretary of tho Interior; Jefferson Davis, Secretory of War ; James C. Dobbin, Hccreta- If any doubt existed in regard to the close relationship existing between tho gold gamb ler* and the Democracy, it would disappear before the attempt to connect the President und his advisers with tho great crime. Thut attempt was begun early, uud bus boon again 'renewed. Whether it originated in a desire to abate the indignation against a movement Iwbich tho antecedents of its authors aggrava ted, or in a determination to make partisan Capital at the expense of tho Administration, s, for the moment, immaterial. The ‘tact is sufficient that the notorious Fisk very early tho matter sought to achieve respectability [by tho use of tho President’s name, und by tho allegation that ho had had reason to rely upon the President’s concurrence in his plans. The falsity of this pretence was promptly ex posed. Fisk had indeed been impudent enough to approach the President while a passenger ou the New Port steamer, and to solicit information with respect to the Treas ury programme. But it has been ascertained that General Grant repelled conversation ou the subject—with a greater degree of conrte- iy, perhaps, than Fisk's reputation entitled him to, but so firmly and positively that no room was left for further talk. And now, having failed to couuoct General Grant, directly, with the gold gambling scheme, it is proposed to hold him responsi ble lor the alleged participation of his brother- in-law, Mr. Corbiu of this city. “Admit that the President was neither a speculator nor the friend and adviser of speculators,” it is in sub stance declared; “still he is responsible for the speculative operations of Mr. Corbin." The absurdity aud injustice of this plea are appa rent. No man is deemed accountable for tho conduct of relatives, over whom ho can havo no control ; and we know of no reason why General Grant should be au exception to the rule. He is not punishable for the sins of relatives, near or distant. Ot the truth or falsehood of tho statement put forward by Fisk touching Mr. Corbin’s connection with the gold-gambling movement, the public may not be in a position absolutely to judge. Mr. Corbin is too ill to attend to business, aud the averments respecting him must therefore, to some extent, await his re covery. Wo understand, however, that lie de nies ever having had any conversation financial matters with Fisk, or any share in gold speculation during tho late crisis. Some thing more will be required than letters from Fisk, or affidavits by his creatures, to establish the opposite position. Let us assume, however, that tho story of Fisk is literally correct. What docs it prove ? Only that ono of tho persona connected with him in gold speculation was the President's brother-in-law. It is not pretendod, even by Fisk, that his connection with Mr. Corbin suited advantageously in consequence of the hitter’s relationship to the I resuleut. Eve Fisk does not say that ho profitod by Corbin' influence. The existence ot such influence may have been supposed, nnd in reliance upon its potency a speculative association with Mr. Corbin may have been sought by Fisk and Gould. But the connection, if it existed any shape, did not prevent disaster. With no other data, then, than that which the enemies of the President furnish, wo con tend that his integrity is vindicated. By the testimony ol his assailants ho stands justified. Instead of playing tho game of those whe claim Mr. Corbiu as a partner, ho pursued a course which ended it summarily and unprof itable- lie broke up the “Ring” of which his hrotber-iu-law is said to luivo been a member. That was not tho act of a weak or corrupt President On tho contrary, it was tho act of ouo who in tho dischargo of his official duties does not permit tho requests or interests of friends or relatives to render him unmindfulj of the wauts and welfare of tho country. We do not believe Fisk’s story as affecting Mr. Corbin. Until that gentleman bo beard from at length, or until witnesses l>e forth coming who arc more fully entitled to cre dence than uro those who do Fisk’s bidding, we reject letter, affidavits and all, as untrust worthy aud scandalous. But whatever the final result of the controversy as botween theso persons, tho President’s position is un assailable. lie did what was right, aud he did it without reference to tho effect of his action upon the fortunes of any man.—N.

To the Editor of the Constitution: Iu yo8torday’a issue of your paper, to communication appears over tho signature of “N. L. Angior, Troaeorer,” making in sinuations which rclloot upon mo iu my official oharactor, aud aro calculated to produce the crreneooM impression that I am responsible for that whioh perhaps hangs upon tho Tnea* nrt-r's own ekirU. Tho Treasurer has boon appearing iu nows- papor articles quite frequently of late, and in some of these “lamoutations” ha* soon fit, in directly, to assail me in my offloiul character without tho slightest provocation. I have re frained from noticing him from an indisposi tion to be engagod in nowspaper controver sies, and for other reasons which need not ap pear in Democratic papers. Iam at a loss to understand why tho Treasurer persists in these side-thrusts at mo. Our relations, per sonally, woro amiouble, aud politically, in ac cord, and I did all in my power to elect him to tho Constitutional Convention, uud also, to the office he now holds. Tho first material poiut of diffcreuoo be tween us, so far as I am aware, was on the question as to what arrangements should be made iu the city of Atlanta for tho accommo dation of tho General Assembly. Wo wero agreed upon that point, so fur as concerned the temporary arrangements for tho first ses sion of tho Genera) Assembly, which mot or tho 4th of July, 18G8, and held its sessions ir tho City Hall building. But when tho quee tiou came up as to what buildings should bo furnished by the city of Atlanta to the State, for the accommodation of the General Ansem- bly and State officers for ten years, we differed in opinion. He contended that extensive addi tions should be made to tho City Hall, and that the Capitol, with all tho Stato officers, should te upon the City Hall square, thought it would involve too great on outlay to make suitable additions to the City Hall building, aud that it could not be done in timo for the next meeting of the General Assembly, and feared that the General Assembly, iu that emergency, might adjourn to Milledgeville, and Atlanta lose tho advantages of becoming tho Capital of the State by not having suitable accommodations ready for the meeting of the General Assembly. I thought the Opera House could bo fitted up iu time and iu a suit able manner, and that if an equitable arrange ment could be made for that building, it would bo best both for the city and the State. Dr. Angier professed to owu valuablo property on the City Hall square aud Washington street, and had the arrangement been made which he desired, it would not only havo been a matter of convonionco to him as his office would have been within one hundred yards of his residence, but the value of his property would have been greatly enhanced. I fully appreciate his feelings, for I also reside on Washington streot; nnd while tho Opera House, the build* ing now used us tho Capitol, is at least half a mile from his residence, it is the same dis. tance farther from my residence, and I have tho same extra distance to walk to my office then, too, my property ou Washington street would also have been enhanced by having tho Capitol on City Hall square. Yet I could not favor the arrangement which he advocated simply because it would enhance tho value of his property and mine, when I believed it bet ter for tho interests of the city and tho State that other arrangements should be made. Th> Opera House was decided upon and secured, but upon what terms 1 was not advised. I had nothing whatever to do with tho arrangements connected therewith, nor matters subsequently arising therefrom—knowing nothing more about those matters than what I saw iu the pa pors. This contest over tho Capitol betw the City Hall square and tho Opera House, however, I believe explains Dr. Angier’s side- thrusts at mo, and also explains tho rupture between him and Gov. Bullock. This, too, may explain Dr. Angler's great zeal in object ing to Gov. Bullock’s paying the Messrs. Kim ball for tho apparatus for heating, lighting aud furnishing tho Opera House, thinking, doubt loss, if the contract for tbo lease of tbo Opera House could bo broken off by a refusal to pay said items that there would still be an oppor tunity of having the C. pitol on City Hall squar<\ Was he actuated by consideration for the public wclfaro or by a desire to promote his own private interosts ? Hud I co-operated with him in his well-advised scheme to en- banco tho value of his property would he have made war upon me? If the Treasurer's hostility to mo found in tho fact that he did not find me ready and willing to co-operato with hi scheme to enhance tho value of his raoguifi- cont and aristocratic residence on City Hall square, by au injudicious expenditure of tho people’s money, perhaps he is making war upou me because of my duty, as a judicial offi cer, to proceed to his office and call for hi9 books nnd investigate tho charge against him, that he was using tho pcoplo’s money in violation of law and the oath of office. Is he justifiable in making his continual assaults upon mo simply bocauso my official position compelled mo to report to the Executive, as the result of my search through his office, that tho Treasurer’i own books, coupled with liis acknowledg ments previously made, sustained tho chargo that ho was depositing several hundred thou sand dollars of State funds and appropriating the interest on it to his own use, contrary to law and his oath of office? It was tho Treas urer’s owu misconduct that compelled me, a sworn officer of tho State, to inform the Governor that in more than forty instances the Treasurer had illegally thrust his baud into the public Treasury by loaning tho people money out at intorost for his owu profit. 1 was his inordinate thirst for "filthy lucre” that caused him, at tho very threshold of his of ficial career, to uvc-rlcap at ono bound all tho barriers that protect the public funds (funds raised by taxing an impoverished people) by loaning out great sums of it at interest, and pocketing tho proceeds. It is true, it did bo- come my duty us Attorney General to sue him for tirenty-one thousand dollars for speculating with the pcoplo’s money, but ho should re member that as a judicial officer I cannot lot him escape the conscqueuces ot his mal-pr&c tice iu offico because he is ono of tho wealthy aristocracy. Iu this country wealth and aris tocracy are no protection for misconduct, and because the Treasurer has come to grief, and now finds that “the way of the transgressor is hard," ho should not becorao angry with ine. If ho had sought tho advice of the Attorney Gonorul as to his right to use half a million of the\xople'8 money for his own profit, tho “hid- don merit” of that officer, although “ex tremely diffident,” might havo saved him tho mortification of being totted for pocketing in terest on Stato money which he says he was advised by “eminent counsel” that ho could do with impunity. I havo said thus much concerning tho prob- toblo Cannes of tho inexplicable warfare which tho Treasurer has been waging upon mo for months past, and I now proposo to notice his card of yesterday morning. Ho has been in*in- ating that I have rouderod advioo oh Attorney General in favor of tho payment of illegal warrants from tho Treasury. Let him now do ouo of two things, either come out nnd give tho publio fAOts, or acknowledge that ho has been giving ciroula ion to base and malicious slanders. Let him name tho warrants, give the amounts, tho dates, the persons in whose favor drawn, and for what drawn. Let him ■Into when my advice was given in favor of thoir pay incut.. He acknowledges having paid warrants when there were doubts in his own mind tot tho timo toS to whether they w«re lo git warrants, and I demand to know of him if I, os Attorney General, ad Hoad their paywent Let the Tro lurer cease his Ukinnatioos and give the poople tho facte Tho Treasurer has been so loudly proclaiming his own honesty and charging others with sealing that it has become tho common street talk that he re minds one of tho thief, who when detected and pursued in the crowded streets of a city, seeks to esespe by pretending to be ono of the pur suers aud crying, at the top of his voioe, as ho fiies iu front of bis pursuers, "stop thief l stop thief 11 stop Outfit!" Tho Treasurer charges me with advising the payment ot warrants whioh I have never ad vised, aud claims for himself the credit of de feating warrants which have nt « boen pie- seuted fo his office. He cluimeu the credit of defeating a small-pox warrant iu lavor of Dr. Boswell, of Muscogoo county, last winter when there was not one word ot truth in it and alter being called upon by the Comptroller General for doing him gross aud papablo in justice, did not have the magnanimity nor manliness to put that officer right before the people. What a contempt intelligent people must have for ono who steals the laurels from another's brow ! In that case tho Comptrol ler General had doubts as to countersigning tho warrant, and wishing to observe proper couitesy towards tho Executive, made the fact kuown, whereupon the warraut was referred, by tho Exocutive, to my office and condemned. Aud it has not been a week since the Treas urer promised a claimant in a small pox case to pay him if ho could get a warraut, aud upon application to tho Executive for a warraut the claim was referred to my offico and the pay ment of it disapproved. The payment of this claim would have committed the State to the payment of at least fifty thousand dollars of illegal small pox claims, but I suppose the Treasurer would not have cared, as he would have paid it aud cried out “stop thief.” Or perhaps the fact that ho wished to court the influence of the person presenting the claim had something to do with tho Treasurer’s wil lingness to pay it in violation of the laio. There never was more fraud perpetrated upou tho Stato in the space of four months, than was perpetrated from the 13th of December, 1862, to the 17th of April, 1863, during which peri od all claims for sovices in small pox cases by doctors, nurses, &c., in the State, were charge able to the Stato. Yet ono who assumes to be tho “Watch-dog of the Treasury” promises to claim which would have established a precedent which would havo cost the State fifty thousand dollars. Every such claim yet referred to me has been condemned and the -payment advised. The Treasurer, how ever, seems desirous to accommodate parties holding said claims, especially when present ed by thoso whose influence might be desired in tho Senate or elsewhere. Nor has ten days passed, if I am correctly informed, since tho Treasurer proposed to party holding a warrant which he, the Treas urer, says is illegal (but about which I know nothing, as it has never been submitted to me,) that if the Governor would dismiss the suit now pending against the Treasurer to recover the twenty-one thousand dollars above alluded to, he would pay the warrant or submit it to some eminent jurist, and pay it if the jurist advised it. If it would bo right to pay it upon the advice of somo “eminent jurist,” proviiled the suit for twenty-one thousand dollars rcasdismissed, would it not be right to pay it upon tho advice of that “eminent jurist” any how, whether the suit was dismissed or not? Would the dis missal of tho suit now pending against him make any difference as to the legality of the warrant ? 1* ho willing to pay illegal warrants, or warrants which ho has rejected as illegal, provided the Governor will let him off from paying tweuty-ouo thousand dollars for which ho is sued ? Docs tho Treasurer think this is honest? Does he think ho can get the At torney General to adviso such a proceeding ? I do not believo that tho Treasurer can make such transaction with the Executive, notwith standing tho Executive doubtless thinks his clerks should bo paid. What will tho Demo cratic editors think of their immaculate Treas urer, whom they havo styled il “Watch-Dog of tho Treasury,” after such i.n attempt at bribery ? Is that looking after l jc welfaro of tho people, or is it another stride after thy lucre ?” It is quito timo tho Treasurer should stop paying warrants which ho says aro illegal, meroly that he muy be able to write letters against an Attorney General whom ho charges with rendering erroneous opinions upon war rants which have, in truth, never been sub milted to him. He has ignored tho existenco of tho Attorney General, except to impute to him advice he has never rendered. The Treasurer acknowledges having paid illegal warrants without even giving tho Treasury that protection the Constitution provides for it. Tho Constitution has created tho office of Attorney General, and mado him the Treas urer’s “legal adviser,” aud it was the Trcasu rer’s sworn duty to have submitted to that ju dicial officer for his advice and opinion, any and every warrant upon the legality of which ho had any doubts, before paying it. Had ho discharged his duty properly, by asking for tho opinion of the Attorney General before paying warrants which ho believed woro ille gal, perhaps tho money would still be in the Treasury. But no, ho presumes tho At torney General has already given au errouo- ous opinion nnd proceeds to pay the alleged illegal warrants, and abuse mo for that witL which I havo had no connection. Tho Troas urer has paid warrants which wero never submitted to mo, and which might never havo beeu paid if my ndvico had been sought, nnd still has tho impudence to chargo mo with be ing responsible for it. Wore ho to ask the opinion of the Attorney Gonoral as to the le gality of a warrant about which he had doubts, and were lie advised uot to pay it, there would bo two advantages derived from that course: Tho money would rcmAin in tho Treasury until a mamlamus would take It out, and if a mandamus should tnko it out, he would bo protected iu a suit by tho injured party, because in the language of the distin guished jurist Caleb Cushing, ho had observ ed “tho law ns officially pronounced.” There is tho highest authority for saying that an oxpoRitiou of the law liy the Attorney General possesses “authority tho same in kind, if not tho same in degree, with the decisions of tho courts of justice,” aud should the Treasurer in pursuance with the adv.co oi that offic refuse to pay a warrant until tho court com pelled him by manilamus, ho would bo pro- teoted by that ndvico. Aud upon tho other hand should he pay out a warrant upon the written advice of that officer, which might bo afterwards judicially ascertained to have boon illegal he would staud upou a different footing in his defense in courts, if he could plead that ho had only followed .“tho law as officially prononuoodhe would certainly stand upon a bettor footing than be does in those cases, which he alleges wero illegal, and yet paid without submitting them to tho Attoruey Gen eral. Iu conclusion, I again demand that the Treasurer give to the publio the specific case* in which the Attorney Gonoral has advised the payment of illegal warrants or ooose his insin uations. Henry P.

Yon inform mo that the Troasnror has refused to pay a number of Ex ecutive warrants, and ask whether the Treas- bas sought the official opiniou of tbo At torney General, and if so, request that your Exoellenoy be furnished with a copy of any opinion which may have been given the Treasurer concerning the same. You also ask for my official opinion “os to whether tho Treasurer and his bondsmen aro protected from penalty when the Treasurer performs his official acts in accordance with tho official opinion of the Attorney Generul of the Btate.’> In response to tho inquiry as to whether tho Treasurer has sought tho opinion cf tho Attorney Goneral concerning tho legality of warrants presented to him, I havo to inform your Excellency that he has not. In response to your inquiry upon tho ques tion of the protection afforded the Treasurer and his bondsmen by tho official opinion of the Attorney General in cases where his opin ion is sought and observed, I would stato thut I havo given it that consideration which the importance of the subject demands, and will now proceed to give you ray official opinion. Tho nature of tho duties and responsibili ties of tho offico ot Attorney General, and his relations, as a judicial officer, to tho officers of tho Executive Department, is a subject to which much study has been devoted. Those investigations have been the more extended because of the fact that it is a new office in Georgia, aud tho present incumbent has no predecessors from whose official acts he can derive information for bis guide. I hav found, however, by referring to tho laws of the United States Government, that iu tho creation of the office of Attorney General, and all legislation concerning his duties under that government, that tho office is identical, in so far as concerns the question before me, with the office under the Government of Geor- the perforuMtoce of this part of bis duty, that hell not to counsel giving advice to tho Gov* ernmeol as his client, but a public officer actiny judicially, under ill the solemn responsibili ties of conscienoo and legal obligation. “Although the aot requiring this duty ot the Attorney General does not expressly declare what effect shall bs given to bis opinion, yet the general practice of the Government has been to f(Mow it; partly for theroasou already suggest ed that an officer going against it would be sub ject to the Imputation of disregarding the law as officially pronounced, aud partly from the great advantage, and almost necessity, ot acting ac cording to uniform rules of law in the man agement of the public business -a result only attainable uuder the guidonco of a singlo de partment of assumod special qualifications and official authority.” I could quote additional authority in sup port of this opinion, but deem it unnecessary.

Washington, October 10.—Boutwell, in his ech at Philadelphia, said he was aware of os required of Judges of the Superior nudSu- ^ differenceB 0 f opinion as to the payment preme Court; it declares in paragraph second ot tbo public debt in the manner contempla- of Section Seventh, of Article Fifth, that “ it shall be the duty of the Attorney General toad as the legal adviser of the Executive Department,’* but neither tho Convention nor the laws say anything as to tho effect of that advice. The first question is, does tho Constitution make tho Attorney General the legal adviser of the Treasurer? Clearly it does, as he is one of the officers of the Department Tho Governor, tho Secretary of State, the Comp troller General and the Treasurer, are all offi cers of tho Executive Department, while the Attornoy Generul is an officer of the Judicial Department and by the Constitution their "le gal adviser.” Tho second question is, what is the effect of that advice? As the Constitution makes the Attoruey General the “legal adviser” of tho Treasurer, it follows that when in the course of h:N official duties tho Treasurer has doubts as to the proper construction of tho law,|it is his duty to apply to tho Attoruey General for his advice or opinion upon the law involved, and when tho Attorney General gives the ad- vico asked for, that advico or opinion is to the Treasurer “the law officially pronounced.”— As the Constitution makes the Attornoy Gen eral the “legal adviser" of the Treasurer, nnd as it is the duty of the Treasurer to ask for the advico or opiniou of the Attorney General in all cases where ho has doubts as to the law, pml as the advico or opinion of tho Attorney General officially given to the Treasurer tho “law officially pronounced,” it follows that it is the duty of tho Treasurer to he guid ed in bis official conduct by that advi opinion, and that neither ho nor his bonds men can he held accountable for official acts performed in compliance with tho “law* offi cially pronounced” by tho proper judicial offi cer. Therefore I give it as my opinion that “tho Treasurer and his bondsmen” tccted from penalty when the Treasurer per forms his official acts iu accordance with the official opinion of the Attorney Goneral of the State. In support of this opiniou I quote briefly from two authorities, each of whom aro con ceded to stand foremost among the eminent jurists of America. I allude to Itevcrdy John son and Caleb Cushing, each of whom have adorned the position of Attorney General of the United States. Reverdy Johnson rendered an opinion as Attorney Gcuoral to Hon. William II. Mori dith, Secretary of the Treasury, bearing da q May the 8th, 1849, upon a question identical with that now nndcr consideration, to-wit tho effect of the opinion of the Attorney Gen eral with reference to the official acts of the Treasurer. That opiniou was rendered in the following language : “First, the duties of tho Attorney General are precribed by the Judiciary Act of 1769, and are ‘to give his advico and opinion upon ques tions of law when required by tho President of tho United States, or when requested by the heads of any Departments, touching any matters that may concern their departments.’ The ad does not declare what offset shall be giv en to such advice and opinion, but it is believed that the practice of the government has invariably been to follow iL This has boen done from tho great advantage and almost absolute necessity of having uniform rules of decision iu all ques tions of law in analogous cases—a result much more certain uuder the guidance and decision of a singlo department, constituted for the very purposo of advising upon all questions, aud with supposed special qualifications for snch a duty. In my opinion this pradicc should be considered as law And Attorney Goucrul Caleb Cushing, in an opinion rendered to President Piorco, bearing date March 8, 1854, upon tho “offico and du ties of Attorney General,” raid : “We have seen that tbo act establishing tho offico of At toruey General exprossly imposod on him two classes of duty : first, to prosecuto all suits iu the Supremo Court, in which tho United States nro concerned ; aud secondly, to giv his advico and opinion iu questions of law to the President, and to heads of department* “In the dischargo of tho second class of tho above mentioned duties, tho action of tho At- torncy General is quasi jmlic.iul Ills opinions officially define the law, in r\ multitude of coses, where hi* decituou is in practice final and .con clusive—not only a* roNpcotu tho action of publio offioors in administrative matters, who are thus relieved from the responsibility which would otherwise attach to their acts—but also ir questions of private right, inasmuch as parties, having concerns with tbo Government, pos sess, in general, no incaus of bringing a con troverted matter before tho courts of law, and can obtain a purely legal decision of the con troversy, os distinguished from an administra tive one, only by reference to the Attorney Oeuera). Accordingly, tbo opinions of suc cessive Attorneys General, possessed of greater or less amount of logal acumen, acquirement, aud experience, havo eome to constituto a body of legal preccdeut* and exposition, hav ing authority the same in kind, if not the same in ilegree, with the decisions vf the Courts of Jus tice. It frequently happens that questions of great importance, submitted to him for de termination, aro elaborately argued by coun sel; and whether it bo so or not, ho feels, in ted by the Administration, aud would there fore state in a single sentence the Administra tion's entire policy with regard to tho public debt, as he comprehended it. It was that the debt was to be 4>aid, principal and interest according to the terms of the contract, in coin or that which meu will receive as the equiva lent of coin, without any abatement whatever.
