The ATTORNEY GENERALS MAINE LAW
OPINION SUPPRESSED BY THE GoyERSoR-Hon.
Ogden Hoffman, the Nestor of the New York
tar and the Attorney General Of the State,
las come out in q letter which gives the lie
direct to the Seward organs. Mr. Holman
states that be has furnished the Governor with
his opinion, adverse to the Maine law; and
what makes matters worse, he further charges
that the document has been suppressed hy the
Executive. We all know that when this state
ment Was made, some weeks since, it was con-
nadicted Ivy the Tribune and by the Leuten-
ant Governors paper-the big and little or
pans OF Seward and his cher ami Governor
CLARK.
The Governor is in q bad place, and it will
be hard for his organs to explain away the
difficulties that surround him; and his tergi-
versaton on this point, asexpressed through
his organ, will injure the Seward party in No
ycmltr. Mr.. Hoffman was put on the whig
State ticket last fall, to make it respectfully
strong, and it seems that the Sewardites and
other fanatics connected with them have found
in him man who was not to be bullied or
seduced from the path Of duty. We must
have that opinion at once. 1t is the finishing
blow to the Prohibitory law, which, IL dead
before may now be considered as totally ami
hlated.
The next time that Mr.. Delavan, Mr.. Bur-
leigh, and others of their friends, attempt to
frame Draconian code, they would do we'll
to pay some competent lawyer to revise their
work

GREAT SUCCESS OF THE ALLIES ON THE TCHEa-
NAYA.--It appears that the first telegraph from
Sehastopol with regard to the battle Of the
Tchernaya was incorrect, inasmuch as it stated
the number of Russian prisoners taken by the
Allies to be 400. It now turns out that 1000
is the correct fgure-a larger number than
have been taken at some OF the greatest battles
on record. Whether the Russians got into
tight place and finding themselves there, sur
rendered without fighting, or not, it appears
evident from this figure that the battle must
have been most important affair and very
disastrous for Liprandi A loss of 1000 in
prisoners would suppose a loss at least double
in killed and wounded--a second Inkermann in
fact. The practical inference from the event
would appear to be that if the Allies cannot
take SebastOpol, they can beat the Russians
with ease whenever they get chance in the
field. 1t looks as though the tide Of fortune
was turning. Perhaps Radetsky will make a
diversion in favor of the Gar by way Of re
storing the balance.

It Is not too much to insist that a half mil

an insufficient award to the victims This
amount and more has been paid into the hands
Of stockholders and favorites, instead of being
employed to put their road in 6 condition to
prevent precisely such n,assacres as that we

tribution which demands its transfer to those
who are the victims of such heartless and
parsimonious policy. Perhaps, too, the sever
est punishment which car be inflicted upon
such men would be that of condemnng them
TO the payment of pecuniary damages.
