The Attorney Generals opinion on the subject
of the florida treaty claims was finally rendered
to the President on Saturday. The claimants are,
by this opinion, which the President and members
Of the Cabinet will abide by, RENTED to Congress
for further legislation to carry out the provisions Of
the treaty of 1919.
The opinion strongly sets forth the obligations Of
the Government to pay for injuries done to indivi-
dual property by our troops, who had ruthlessly
laid waste whole plantations burnt houses, destroy
ed crops, and produced general famine among the
inhabitants. 1t also considers that the awards made
by the Florida Territorial courts, for interest upon
the ascertained value of property destroyed from the
time of its destruction till the date Of the decree,
just, and ought to be paid but it holds that the Go
vernment has no authority, under existing acts, to
pay them. Such seems the opinion Of every pre-
ceding Secretary of the Treasury on the subject.
It was proposed, some time ago, by the claim
ants that the cases should be referred to the United
States District Court Of Florida for REHABILITATION
but this is thought unnecessary, and would not vary
the ultimate decision of the present Administration
on the subject Congress must authorize the pay
ment Of interest or damages before the Administers
ton will make the payment though they think the
claimants entitled to it.
The amount involved in the claims is about nine
hundred thousand dollars.
Senators YULEE and BERRIEN are among the
chief agents and counsel for the claimants. Mr..
CoRwIN was one of the counsel, but relinquished
all connexion with the case previous to taking
ofice.-Journal Of Commerce.

reason to doubt that all laws which may be consti-
tutonally passed for the accomplishment of that
object will be executed in good faith, even if it
should be necessary to call out the entire military
force ofthe United States for that purpose. Nothing
that South Carolina can do will dissolve the Union
If she should refuse to perform the duties required
of her by the Constitution, portion of the Unit
ed States, and her Senators and Representatives
should withdraw themselves from their respective
chambers, and if the State should refuse to appoint
the time, place, and manner of choosing Senators
or Representatives, or should fail to attend the
session OF Congress, SO that no quorum should be
formed, and should refuse to appropriate money for
the support of the Government, so that the wheels
Of Government should be stopped yet the Union
would not thereby be dissolved. The Constitution
andLaws wouldremain, and the Presidentmust stake
care that the laws be faithfully executed" and for
this purpose and to enable the marshal to discharge
this duty the Judiciary also will remain in the full
exercise of all its powers and, although Congress
may not be able, for want of quorum, to make
new laws, the old ones would not thereby be abro-
gated or repealed.
conclude, therefore, that it is not in the power
of South Carolina to dissolve the Union and if she
could, it would be unjust to do so, after having en-
