The GoyERNNoRsHIP QUESTION. The
Richford Sentinel calls attention to the
fact that at the dinner at Owls Head,
Wednesday last, on the occasion of the
opening of the Southeastern railway,
Mr. Clarke of the ST. Adams Messenger,
was called upon to respond to the toast,
1.-THE Governor of Vermont. T" He ex-
pressed surprise that he should be called
upon. He said he was not governor,
nor the son of a governor, ETC., but per-
haps he was called to respond to the
toast because he was sitting at the right
hand of the 71eDt gOUer7t0r. He was sit
ting at the right hand of Hon Bradley
Barlow. The Sentinel presumes that this
constitutes an official announcement that
Mr.. Barlow is in the field, and we think
the inference fairly warrantable. We
have also heard the names of Hon. t.
w. Park, of Bennington. His Honor
ieut.-Governer Taft of Burlington. and
Hon. N. t. Sprague, Jr., of Brandon,
mentioned in connection with the gov
ernorship, and it really looks, at this
early stage, as if the crop of candidates
next year was to be unusually large. We
certainly hope that the best man may
win.-Mo7atpelier Watctman.

WASHINGTON, July 9.-The commissioner
of internal revenue has gone to Long
Branch.
Mrs. S. S. Favrell succeeds the Presi-
dents father at Covington.
The Attorney General has sept his
opinion upon the subject of the frauds in
the Freedmens Bureau to the War Depart
ment. The questions submitted were with
reference to money taken from the Trea-
sury by officers employed in the bureau by
means of forged receipts and vouchers for
bounties due the cOlored soldiers, and by
means of receipts and vouchers fraudulent
" procured from them.
points:
First-In cases where the guilty parties
can not be prosecuted, what should be the
course in order to secure the protection of
the interest of the government and of the
claimants
Second-When prosecution is not barred
by the statute of limitation, what action
should be had-tO what extent is the late
commissioner of the Bureau of Refugees,
Freedmen and Abandoned Lands and his
chief disbursing officer responsible?
The gist Of the opinion is that if any mill
tary officer detailed for duty in the Freed
mems Bureau has been guilty of the misap-
preparation of money or any violation Of
the rules and regulations governing dis
bursing officers of the army he may be tried
by court-martial in the same manner as any
other such army officer, and that claim
agents and other persons, not officers OF the
government, who have obtained money
from the bureau by means of forged re-.
ceipts and vouchers and other frauds can
be prosecuted criminally if two years have
not elapsed since the commission of the
| crime, and can also be sued in the civil
courts of the United States in the same
manner as employees of the bureau can be.
There is no statute limiting the time
| within which the government can begin a
! civil suit, but suits for penalties and double
| damages under the act of March 2, 1863,
| must be begun within six years. The At
| torney General says:
| GAS to the chief disbursing officer it is al
most impossible, upon the facts which are
! now before me, to state what his liability to
the government may be. OF course he is
liable, both civilly and criminally, for his
| own misconduct. How far he is liable for
| the acts of subordinates employed under
him is question which it is impossible for
me to answer without a copy of his bond
| and without more information in respect to
| his appointment and employment than
| have been able to obtain from perusal OF
| the papers sent to me. If any other officers
gave bonds to the government their sure
! ties are liable for their misconduct or loss
occasioned by them, according to the tenor
| thereof

Death of Anthony Fernandez.

Yesterday afternoon at halfpast three
o'clock, at his resid ence. No. e45 Ursulines
street, the vene rable Anthony Fernando
passed away at the ripe age Of eighty years.
He was born in this city and always had a
lively interest in its welfare. Notwith-
standing his SOuthe RI birth his strong good
sense prevented his patriotic love for the
Union being overcome by rebellious en-
thusiasm. He was Union man and a Re-
publican from the beginning of the war.
He was fond of travel and passed many
years of his life in Europe. Nature had
been bountiful to him. Gifted with a fine
personal presence, fascina ting manners and
conversation, a vast fund of social infor m
alton, he moved in the highest circles
abroad and attracted all hearts. He was
of pleasant, social and kind hearted dis
position.
1t was an intellectual treat to listen to
his recollections of incidents in his varied
life. One that he was proudest Of was that
he had the honor of being one of the heroes
of Chalmette. In 1867, on one Of his visits
to France, he was taken very ill. In his
sickness he was nursed by lady whom he
brought to this country with him and mar
ried. 1t was while he was still sick that
the accident of coaloil lamp explosion
caused her death. He had no children o1
his own, but had adopted several little
girls. He was loser by the failure of the
First National Bank to the amount of $40,
900. He has been somewhat feeble for a
time, but nothing serious was anticipated
By his friends, who hoped to see him enjoy
many moro years of pleasant life.' His fu
neral will take place this morning, at nine
o'clock, from No. 2l5 Ursulines street.

confinement on a commitment of Judge
McCullogh for arson burning the steamer
City of Cairo), and set forth defects in
affidavit and commitment.
Judge Cullom ruled that in t'lis case the
rights of the State and Of accused were re-
ciprocal SO far as the right to a speedy trial
is concerned; that is to say, the State, repre-
sented by its committing magistrates, is
not compelled to go into trial without wit
nesses to substantiate the accusation, and
that it is allowed reasonable time within
which to have its witnesses brought before
the court.
The citizen must submit, pro bono p'.blico,
to the deprivation of his EbOrty until that
reasonable opportunity is given the State.
If the State fails to exercise it he may
then complain of the deprivation of his
liberty and seek relief by habeas corpus.
In this case the affidavit was made by a
police officer upon information given him,
and at tho time of the commitment suti
cient time had not been given the court to
cause the witnesses to be brought for
ward, or even to ascertain who they were
Consequently the habeas corpus was re-
fused and the prisoner remanded.

During the past week the Red river has
fallen slowly at Shreveport. As compared
with the reports of June q, the lower Mis-
souri, has risen about one foot, but fallen
slightly at Omaha since Monday The
Mississippi has fallen somewhat, except at
ST. Louis, where it has risen slightly. The
Cumberland has risen over three feet at
Nashville. The Ohio has risen three feet
at Pittsburg and over six feet at Cincin-
natl, but is now falling. The indications
are that the lower Missouri, the Mississippi
ct and below St. Louis and the lower Ohio
will continue to rise. The river at New Or
leans has fallen fifteen inches in the past
week.
