FROM WASHINGTON.
Ths Op.n,on OF fAttornsx.esnsrsI Evarts


Special Despatch to The Evening Telegraph.
WASHINGTON, August 12.-Yesterday after
noon, at q late hour, the Attorney General sub
question relative to the power of the Executive
TO accept the resignation OF Commissioner Rol-
lins and to fill the vacancy. 1t is a long aud
able document, adverse to the Presidents juris-
diction in this instance. Mr.. Evarts maintains
that the position of Commissioners Rollins was a
qualified one and could not be accepted until
the conditions named therein we're fulfilled.
The condition in the resignation in question
was the nomination of his successor 10 the Sc
nate and his confirmation by that body, thereby
making a new appointment complete so far as
both executive branches OF the Government
were concerned, before the terms of said re-
siguatlon could be faithfully complied with.
The Attorney General supports this opinion from
many legal authorizes, aud cites a decision
made by Assoc ate Justice Mclean in the
Supreme Court OF the United States, in the
matter of ndndamus to compel an ex'
which he withheld. Another decision adverse
to the Presidents position, is iouad in case
decided by Justice Mclean, in the United
States Circuit Court OF Ohio. Mr.. Rollins,
therefore, remains Commissioner OF nternaI
Revenue, and his resignation amounts to
nothing until his successor is confirmed by the
Senate, which is TACT, however, moi even con-
dtional on this or any other resgna ion. tor the
President need lot wait for one before noml-
Daung 10 the Senate at auy time, when 1T Is in
session, an appointment Tor this or any other
Office.
Efforts at a compromise between the President
and Rollins will be made. Toe latter is anxious
to give up the duties of his Office. but will
assume the right TO die ate who shan be his
successor. Should such a nomination be ac-
ceptable to the Executive, an appointment viii

Valentine Dearing was charged with the
larceny, as bailee OF copoer to the value of $50,

alleged that the prisoner was employed by the
prosecutors to take IN his wagon this copper,

found him treating his friends TO champagne

The jury rendered q verdict OF not guilty.

George Csrrode, young man OF decent an.

against him was that the house No 8i4 NJ Nine.

while the family were away from the city aud
was robbed OF goods valued at $1,000. On the
same night, at late hour, the prisoner was
seen in the ghborhood; and several days
afterwards he pawned at Ridge avenue and
Melon streets q lot OF the stolen articles.
Through the pawnbrokers he was arrested.
The jury finding no positive proof of hIs

Yhs Militia Bill mot pet Rsporrsd-Pstt-
lions Against IE-Gho Political Cam


Special Despatch to The Evening Telegraph
NASHVILLE, Aug. 1.-THE Tennessee Legisla-
ture has not made much progress in the military
business tor the last few days. This is owing to
the fact that the Joint Committee has not fully
matured its bill, although 1t is expected that it
will not differ materially rom the House bill
already passed. One thing is certain, that the
bill which is to become a law, will give Cover
nor Brownlow nearly absolate power as to the
number of troops to be called out, their dispo-
sition, etc.
petition praying for the extension of the
franchise and against calling out the militia,
signed by nearly all the population Of Wilson
county, was presented to the House to-day.
and accompanying it was declaration OF
principles, which. among other things, disap-
proved and censured the Ku-Kiux Kan, and
all other secret political societies. Supposiug
the latter was aimed at the Loyal League, the
petition was severely denounced, and by very
emphatic VOTE the House refused TO refer the
petition to q committee. s
The document was courteous and deferential in
the extreme, but such was its reception by the
Tennessee LEGISLATURE. The Democratic can-
vass still goes on, aud the mooted question here
now is, whether 1t is not better to Withdraw
from the field. The radical State Con yentlon
meets here tomorrow to nominate elec ors and
also Congressman from the State at large.
The radical congressional con yentious meets
In the senate chamber also tomorrow to nomi-
nate Congressman. lively squabbe is auti-
cipated in the later gathering, as there are two
candidates aud very bitter feeling between the
factions. One wing of the party had q torchllght
procession tonight, which was largely attended.
