The Opinion OF the Attorney General.

The forthcoming opinion Of the Attorney
General of the United State-, on the Recon
s,rueiion Acts. is the subject of speculations
and surmises not a few. 1t ls stated by the
National IHteiigeHcer, that the Attorney
General holds that the military commanders
in the South cannot remove State officers
' in any case" Another knowiog-one, says
the Attorney General only denies the right
OF the Generals to remove State officers with
GU. trial and sentence Of military commits
sion. Another and demo cratic authority
doubts whether there will be any immediate
practical results from the decision and
says 1T as questionable whether either the
President " General Grant Will d. more
than to recommend the military commanders
to put safe restraints upon their exercise Of
power. With one or two exceptions, 7 do
not presume that there will be any imme-
diatc request u demand for the restoration
%. the civil officers deposed, nor will one Of
these include the case Of Gov. Well.." This
seems like a pretty reasonable presumption,
and oc trust Is a correct one.

IHE EiCHI HOUR SYSTEM, it is probable,
will get chance for trial IN Connecticut. \
bill has passed the House Of Representatives
Of that State lro,idIng that eight hours
shall be days labor unless the parties in
tercsted make a different arrangement. 1t
passed with but little opposition and will
meet but little in the Senate. probably, for
the promises so freely made during the last
political campaign in the State must be
kept, Of course. Otherwise, the measure
would hardly nave succeeded, in view OF tae
encouragement which the attempt TO adopt
the system in several places at the Wes; has
brought upon IT. advocates.
Three States have passed such a law, al
ready, and it every STATE in the Union should
pass 1t, it would make little difference. The
provision for making different term the
legal one whenever the parties agree thereto,
will nulhiy all attempts to establish cigh;
hours az the measure Of q day work.
PublIc sentiment, not legislation, can alone
bring about 50 great change in the rela-
tions cf work and pay, as this eight hour
system would involve; and it seems tnat
public sentiment Is by no means up to any
such thing, 50 far as any experiments have
been tued, yet. Possibly Connecticut may
be able @ do differently from other States,
but We doubt 1t.

\ correspondent Of the New York Herald
travelling through South Carolina, gives the
following as a part Of a conversation be-
tween a knot Of planters on the subject of
Gen. Sickles' arbitrary rule" Doubtless
it represents the feeling Of many down there
about these days. And they have got it
about right
"'But, Major, Why don't some Of our people
lay this matter before the PRESIDENT Lay it
before him Why, Sickles is with him now,
and hiss issued this order right ia his face. Mr.
So-and-so said he did sound the President
about 1t at Raleigh lat night, but all the an
swer johnson gave was that bis hands were
tied. lie could not do nothing to check these
military gentlemen without making more
trouble for himself and for us ak Itell you,
they have got him perfectly cOved- See how

\ sLANDER RETRAcTED.-ILc Troy Times
recently stated as piece Of startling news
that Rev 5. NJ. Merrill, Of Plai,sbarsb, y.
Y. lately OF North Adams, Mass, had
e'pei from the latter place, with a young
lady '' cf respectable family and proposes
iug apIoarance The statement Of course
created quite a sensation among the friends
OF tie Iartic- and was followed by some
thing Of d sensation IN the Iig.cs' Office
when it, editors were waited on by Mr
Merrill, and forced to the CONVICTION and
admission that the story was utterly false.
\ sudden departure Of the young lady in
question, to visit some friends, and casual
meeting at Troy with Mr. Merrill, whence
they separated on their way TO very different
destinations, appear to have been tie facts,
out Of which the scnsation-monE. manu-
iac,urci a Tiece Of scandal, most painful 10
the feelings and damaging to the reputation
Of worthy clergyman and q yirtu0us young
lady And though the statement has been
abuniantly rctracted, the original SANDER
We perceive is still being circulated by some
of our exchanges. We copy portion Of the
r,traction OF the Troy Tmes, in ID, hope
that may reach the notice Of some such,
who DO not arIoar to have seen 1t. After
stating tlat it was satisfied that the charges
against Rev Mr. Merrill. were " entirely
unlounded," the Time, says:
We are not able to resist the entire yindica-
tion furnished to us from sources Of uuquestion-
able credibility. While. therefore, we regret
that any publication Of our own should have
ps!nel Nr. Merrill and his family. and momen-
iarily obscured his reputation. We have sincere
pleasure in Offering the fullest exculpaton aud
testiiying TO his exemplary and christian char
acter, upon the most satisfactory evidence. It
is certainly to be hoped that the untoWari
circumstances which have occurred, and for
which Mr.. Merrill, we are satisfied, IS in no
degree responsible, will not in any respect
prejudice his ministry at Plattsburgh, at which
place he has recently been tettlei by the Con-
ference A public ministry Of eighteen years,
during which ntil now no breath Of scandal
has leen whisp cred against him. should GER
taily weigh well with considerate and fair
minds. We trust the press. so far as it has
givcu circulation to the orig insl article, will
noti.e our explanation.

@-Govcrnor Thaochmorton pass
ed through this place on Tuesday
last, on his return to the seat of
Government, after a brief visit to
his home. The Mckinney Enquirer
of last week, has the following in
regard to his sojorn there:
Again, after an absence Of six
months, Gov. THRocKMoRToN is with
his family and friends. We are
glad to see that his health has
greatly improved, Notwithstanding
the great labor that has devolvcd
upon him. When he entered upon
the duties of Governor, his health
was very delicate-and the effects
of the severe attack which he suffer
ed while ia attendance upon the
convention, was visible to the most
casual observer. Few of his friends
thought that he could endure the
great labor incident to his Office
We have been agrceably surprised,
and are led to hope that his years
of usefulness have just begun at the
age of forty-one.
Wild rumors arc afoat 10 the CT
feet that our State organization has
been destroyed, and his Excellency
deposed. No such thing has yet
happened, and we hope may never
beiall us. Weregret that the urgen-
cy Of his official labors compels his
early return, and next Tuesday will
terminate his present stay among
Us. The Governors family still re
main in this county, and we suppose
will not go to Austin before the
Spring opens.
Gov. THRocKMoRToN has met with
a hearty reception from the citizens
Of this city. He is universally pop
ular, and his genial manners and
lively Conversation makes his socie-
ty very agreeable.

BRIDGE ON EAST FORK OF TRIM
TY.-We are pleased to learn that
Mcssrs. Becman & Sweet have cree
ted a new and substantial bridge on
the East Fork Of Trinity, at the
old Ho ford crossing, on the road to
Kaufman. In addition thereto, and
to accommodate the travel, they
have cut out an entire new road
through the bottom, and have cross
waved the sloughs, 80 that the road
is perfectly good and dry for wa
CONS to pass. In the present condi-
ton of the East Fork bottom, at
other crossings, this will be good
news to wagoners who have occasion
to 60 East.
