the cabinet all honorable men. The claims
are legal, and therefore binding; for the highest
legal officer Of the land has given his legal opinion

will no, undertake to decide upon the opinion of the
Attorney General. He will repose upon that opin-
ion, and the cabinet will be saved to the country
and the newspaper press. Editors should rejoice,
for aside nom these "Culpng' claims il is profit
