The ATTORNEY GENERALS OPINION IN rHE
poraries Of the rural districts are at logger
heads on the question whether attorney Gene
raj Hoffman has or has not submitted his Off
sial legal opinion TO the Governor on the I'M
eonstitutonalty Of our new liquor law. some
say that he has. and that the Governor has
suppressed the document; Others insist that he
has not, or that Governor Clark has not had
occasion to ask for the opinion Of the Attorney
General on the subject" Very likely. We
rather suspect that the Governor has too many
other fish to fry--guite enough TO keep his
hands mll till November. He has the fusion
lists to regulate as far as possible. including
temperance men and liquor men. lie has the

the Governor, no doubt, has discovered, in the
course Of his travels from Albany TO Auburn

humbue, a mockery and nuisance. and that,

REEDERs REMOVAL NORTHERN AND A
SOUTHERN CAUsE.-It appears that the admins
tration have two good causes or grounds Of
excuse for the removal of Governor Reeder-
Northern and u Southern cause. In the North
it il to be understood that he was removed for
his projected but unprotected spGulations in
the lands of the Kansas halfbreed Indians.
This is the Northern ca use. In the South it is
to be urged that he was removed because Of
his abominable affiliations with the Kansas free
soil squatters and emigration societies. This
is the Southern cause. The Albany atlas is
satisfied with the Northern cause.-The Rich
mond Enquirer is content with the Southern
cause Between the two horns of the dilemma
there is mystery still to be explained by the
President to the Governor Was it the land
speculations or the nggers? Was it Atchison
or Manypenny. or Stringfellow or the Com
missioner of'thc Land Office, that did the bust
ness? Let the truth be known--out with it
that there may be no misapprehensions upon the
subject in the Pennsylvania October election.
What a pity the Governor didn't consent to 90
to China! Will there ever be any harmony
again between the democracy and the admins
tration? Will Governor Reeder write book
on his executive life in Kansas? 1t is his last
chance. Let him write book. 1t will sell
better than his half-breed Kansas lands. 1t will
go off like peache. and cream. Oh let him
write book
