The Eight Hour Law-0pinion Of the At
tnrneY General.

Attorney General Evarts has forwarded to the
President his opinion on the operation of the eight
hour law. In regard to the compensation of the
employees ne says; The law being silent on the sub
oct of compensation, the government officials are at
liberty to use their discretion in the matter but that
the law of equality which heretofore regulated the
wages of government employees requires that they
shall receive the same compensation for the lator as
i. paid in private establishments in the vicinity
The law of 1868 does not fix the wages nor does it
require the government to pay ten hours wages for
eight hours work. If the citizens adopted sEch
the government must do the same, but as the
law stands it is left to the option of the gov
eminent officials to pay the same wages as when
men worked ten hours day, or to reduce the COM
pensation in proportion to the reduction in hours of
labor.

Hon. W. G. BrOWnIOW.

The above named gentleman, now Gov
ernor of Tennessee, and United States Sen
ator elect, has been more sOundly abused
by the rebels than any man in the United
States, not even excepting General Butler.
But events have proved the wisdom OF
Brownlow's course. Brownlow has never
the tyrant, though charged with it. His
good sense taught him that it would be bad
policy to enfranchise the rebels and give
them a controlling influence in the State of
Tennessee, and he has rigidly adhered to
his convictions of duty. Time has shown
the wisdom Of his course, for had he pur-
sued milder policy with rebels, Tennessee
would now be as Georgia, overrun by Ku
Klux for there is about as much latent
treason in one State as the other, though in
Tennessee it is kept under better control.
We regard Brownlow as the right man in
the right place, and we hope that his sue
cessor in the gubernatorial chair, which he
will vacate the 4th Of next March will be
as infexibIy honest and as stern and I'M
yielding as he has been. Experience has
shown that no milk and water policy
viii answer IN the administration of the
governments of the late rebel States.
In regard to Brownlow's being q tyrant,
there is nothing of it. There is nothing
cruel or despotic in his nature. His life has
been characterized by acts of christian be-
nevOlence. He is true to the right, and
does not yield his opinion to the wishes or
caprices of others There is no doubt but
Brownlow is a true patriot and good man.
