ooeb’scase aaaci.
1 wonld uot again refer to the cn&e of tbe
Fighting Colonel of Illinois, but for a promise
made some time since to furnish yon with a
summary of the charges filed against him in
the Department here, and which chargee are
fully bustainod by tbe clearest proof, includ
ing affidavits of some of his former associates
in tbe Custom House Bing. The papers filed
by both add# in this ease.ere voluminous,
and I am inclined to tho opinion that Boat-
well’s real reason for not taking final action
in the premise*. while both parties Were
the ground several weeks ago, was on i
count of tbe immense m»s* of manuscript
which bod to bo carefully read over before
be could get at the actual merits of the case.
He. however, ordered the paper* to be put in
order, end on Friday lost called theta up for
his personal inspection, and it is now pre
dicted by tho opponents of tbe great and
mighty cr-warrior that his case will come to
judgment and be finally disponed of one day
this week.
' TO U* DROUGHT BSTORE CONUSES*.
. U la *e>4 that action in the case is heetenrd
on oocoant of a notification east m tbe great
Ulysses that unless the matter was disposed
of previous to the meeting of Congress it
would be made a subject of investigation by
tbst body, and that such an exposition wonld
be mode of the case as would reflect serious
ly upon the Executive as well as his financial
Secretary; and farther, that the notion of the
Irvorgm delegation would bo sustained by
other Southern members. It is not probable
that Grant is just now prepared for a quarrel
with the Repnblican members of Congress
from tbe South. He has enough to do to de
fend himself against the disaffected Republi
cans of tho North, and will peed all his
Southern friends to help him oat. Taking
this view of tbe case, it seems safe to predict
that tho Colonel's rule is drawing to a close.
He is, however, making Rpleudid use of bis
early military training and his later military
exp«rience, and is preparing for a vigorous
defense.
VIAt BOWS PAID TO BOUTWKLI*
During his losi visit here be gave Boutweli
to understand that he was the Motes of tbe
'fourteenth amendments” in Georgia; that
bile others might be able to rally them with
baud of music and a promise of beer and
ginger-bread to listen to a stu op speech, te
alone could concentrate their aggregate vote
at tbe polls, and do it m tho simplest

tion of the Congressional Delegation from
Georgia will have in the ease of an alleged
dishonest and inefficient Federal official.
WHY AKEBMAN WOULDN’T PABDQN A REPUBLICAN.
Recently a committee from Sooth Carolina,
eompoaed of great weight, colled upon
Jonathon Wild Akerman Grant’s Attorney
General and presented a strong petition in
favor of tbe pardon of two persons who had
been wrongly oenvioted under tbe Congres
sional election law in the case of Dt-Large
and 0. 0. Bowen. Tbe Attorney General de
clined to go into the merits of the case, as he
said there to be a large number of con
victions of Democrats in New York, and he
wonld not allow any Republicans to be
pardoned now for fear it would be
used as a reason why Democrats should
be pardoned hereafter. The committee
urged that it was not best to punish men
improperly convicted, to enable the Presi
dent to stiffen np his own beck for another
and different cane, and tbe pardon of Bowen
being allnded to, Akerman said he wanted it
understood that that was not bis affair, that
Bowen had got Mrs. Grant to promise it,
and tha President was not disposed to carry
it ont, and held it back for a week, bat final
ly allowod it to iasne. O. H. W.

i/on. Madison Belt, Comptroller General, tic.:
Sib—Your communication of yesterday ad
dressed to tbe Honorable H. P. Farrow, At
torney General, asking Lis official opinion
relation to matters therein stated, has been
transmitted to me by His Excellency tbe
Governor, with the request that I would con
sider the questions made and famish you
with a written opinion on the subject matter
of your inquiry. Iu obedience to such re
quest, and as Attorney General pro tern., I
now proceed to answer the legal propositions
submitted:
Your first inquiry is whether it is "your
legal duty to countersign tbe bonds provided
. authorizes the Governor to cause
said bonds to be executed in due and legal
form. The bond is the obligation. Toe
eoapoos signed or ansigaed, is immaterial.
The bonds on itself, carries oa its fane, the
promise to pay both principal and interest.
The Code does not make the of the
coupons as essential-part, or in foot, any
pan of its execution. The aei of 1843, for
convenience, authorised tbe Treasurer to in
dorse the coupons felling due during his ad
ministration and sach coupons were col
lectable without ihep<escalation of the bond.
The Code simply enlarges the convenience by
authorizing the Treasurer to sign the ooupona,
if the holder desires him to do so and he may
do so before or after the issue of the bonds.
The only benefit of each signature is con
venience to tho holder, but his signing the
coupons neither adds, nor does tho absence
of his signature diminish the value of the
bond a farthing. The bonds in question ore
within a peculiar provision eharging tbe Gov
ernor with deciding the dne and legal form
iu which they shall bo issued, and, by impli
cation, the Governor might in tbe issuing of
the coupon* authenticate them by such offi
cial authentication as might import verity.
The Governor oould issue the coupons with-
oat a signature, or he oould sign them him
self, or he oould direot another to sign them.
All this is proper and within the seope of the
law, but would impose upon th* holder the
necessity of presenting the bond itself to the
Treasurer lo.oollect the coupon, "only, this
and nothing mars.” As there is nothing
provided by law in relation to signing the
coupons, and this matter is one of conve
nience to the holder, the lithographing your
names, or yoar signing them. Imports no ob
ligation and involves no official interference
with tbe duties of another, and is siaplj
dons as the Governor may direct in the au
thority given him by the 2d section of the
act October 17. 1870. With the policy or
impolicy of the passage of these acts, we
have nothing to da Oar business is simply
to construe them. Bo, I think it is yoar legal
duty to countersign said bonds and coupons
when required by the Governor.

HATING DOUBTS APPLIES
THE ATTORNEY-OkXXEAL FOE LIQHT.
[COPT.]
lion. Henry P. Harrow, Attorney-General, At
lanta, Go.:
Sir:—As authorised by tbe Constitution
and laws, I respectfully ask yoar official
opinion, ia writing, on the following question
of law connected with my datiee as Comp
troller General:
1. It is nij legal duty to countersign the
bonds provided for bv section 2 of tbe ‘ '
Ootober 17, 1870, entitled “an act to amend
an act to aid th* Brunswick and Albany Rail
road Company, approved March 18, 1869?
.ad Company, approved Mareh 18, 18697
2. Ia it my legal duty to aign ooapons to bo
annexed to said bonds ?
3. Is it incumbent upon me, if I am to
countersign the bonds, or sign the coupons,
to see that their terms eonform to the law as
to what they are payable in, or is His Excel
lency, the Governor, alone chargeable with
that doty, and most I treat as legal what
ever form of bond or coupon he may present?
4. If the medium of payment be at all for
my consideration, then ought I, as a matter
of legal date, to oo-operate in tbe execution
of mid bonds and con pons. If they are sought
to be made payable in gold ?
In other words, eon a bond and its coupons,
issued under the second section of ths act of
17th October, 1870, be made payable in gold.
ina wiutrai, ioiu, uo uiauu (W)buio iu g
or should they be left without any given
dinm of payment expressed ?
These questions first arose in your abaenoe
(before your recent return from the West),
and I s ifferod such doubts and difficulties as
were then in my mind concerning them to
be overruled by an order from his Excel
lency the Governor, as to the bonds then
preceded to be countersigned. J counter
signed ail that he required at that time
(amounting to $880,000), and ocquieeoed in
the appearance of my name in lithograph
upon the coupons. Since then my doubts
have become more serious, and being in
formed that more are likely soon to be pre
sented to me, I wish your opinion and ad
vice a* speedily as possible. It stay facili
tate your investigation for me to cite each
other statutes and statutory provisions as my
attention has been drawn ss bearing upon
possibly illustrating the subject io ono
mere of its elements. These are Revised
Pods sections 949 and 950; also, act of tkp-
teenber 15. 1870, entitled “An aei to author
ise the issue of bonds and the coupons there
on now doe or falling due, and for other par-
and inasmuch as the General Assembly have,
by sn act 17th October, 1870, directed tbe
issuing of certain bonds to the Brunswick
and Albany Railroad Company, and these
bonds have been issued in pursaance of di
rection of tLt* Genera: A«m.-mbly, snd signed
by th* Governor, tt follow* as * matter of
law that your legal duty is to countersign
them. The act of September 15, 1870, is a
general act, it* captiou docs not limit it to
the issue of bond* whereby to redeem all
bonds and the coupons thereon now due or
falling due, but is for othtr purposes therein
mentioned. The other purposes contemplated
by tbe act itself, derivable not only from
contixt but the history of its passage,
Lwue of such other bonds os might be di
rected to be is*Qed by tho General Assembly,
the aot boing general, the direction to issue
bonds alter its passage, fell within its pro
visions, unless otherwiso specially directed.
The second section of tbe aot xeetraius the
uso of a certain class of bonds provide! for,
but the bonds to be issued by direction oi
tbe General Assembly for other purposes, are
expressly within the general authority of the
act. And in my opinion th* bond* directo-l to
be issued to the Brunswick and Albany Rail
road Company, approved Ootober 17, 1870,
were to bo bonds nnder the authority of Un
set 15th September, and oonformable to its
provisions, except as the general law ha-
boon changed by tbe subsequent statute, or
act of October 17, 1870.
Responding to yoar third and fourth ques
tion* in this relation, I would farther state,
that hiving no doubt as to your legal duty to
countersign the bonds in qaestion, I do uot
believe that yoar duty demands any consid
eration whatever of iheir terms “as to what
they are payable in." The Governor of this

7b Os ffiredfrary Rtfas B. Bullock:
Sa: That you may more fully understand
doubt* heretofore expressed to you ver-
- In relation to my countersigning and
thlsprooaaJs smoother, more flsxibla, and sued under and by authority of the act of
jrtrstuins the strength of thwraw hide In a Ootober 17,1870, A transmit herewith a eoo»-
tration. He is clothed with incidental powers
from which w* might by castom, prerogative,
aud power, deduce his general right to ad
judge the matter of executing the laws apper
taining to tbe discharge of impoeed duties.
Bat iu tbe acts wc are couridering the lan
guage is dear and oertaiu: "His Excelienoy,
the Governor, is hereby authorized to issue
bonds of the tiiete sufficient to meet ail out
standing bonds and tbo coupons thereon,
etc., ana for suoh other purposes as tho Gen
eral Assembly may direct,” is tbe language
of the act September 15, 1870. The second
section of the act October 17, 1870, under
whioh the bonds in question ere issued, pro
vides that tbe Governor shall receive from the
company tho whole issoe of the seoond mort
gage bonds, amounting to $2,350,000, and he
is to pay the company for the same in the
bonds of the Bute of Georgia at par, bearing
7 per cent, interest, etc., in the aggregate,
amounting to $1,888,000, and bis Excellency
the Governor is hereby authorised and direct
ed to cause said bonds to be executed in due
and legal form and paid over, etc." This
language is plain and leaves nothing to con
struction. By taking the acts together, we
find the act of September 15th authorized
the issue by tbe Governor of the bends, the
act of 17th October directs the Governor to
issue bonds to the Brunswick and Albany
Railroad Company, and charges him directiy
with censing said bonds to, be executed in
do* and legal form. In my opinion, the Gov
ernor is oharged with the duty by the direc
tion of tffe General Assembly, aud h6 alone
is chargeable with the duty. Tbe fact of is
suing the bond# involves the whole duty; the
act of countersigning is a mere ministerial
act uuder the law done in obedienoe to it by
the Comptroller General, involving no act of
discretionary or judicial duty, but invoking
only by its terms the simple duty of its per
formance, the registration of the amount is
sued, and the report to the Treasurer for rec
ord ia no more purely ministerial than too
aot of countersigning.
The opinion thus far establishes the fact
that the bonds in question being directed by
the General Assembly after too passage of
the act September 15, 1870, come directly
within its provisions and by construing the
act of October 17,187Q, with the act oi Sep
tember 16, 1870, the Governor is alone
chargeable with the duty of iaruing, and tha
aot of countersigning is the official verity
prescribed by tha law as following the issuing
by tbe Governor.
The 4th queetion is mainly answered, as
the medium of payment is not —““ *" m

This is toe second instance (Bullock's was
