The Attorney Generals Opinion In
the Case Of Gen. HOWaTdssThe
General Liable for all Losses by
Action Of SubOrdinateS.
WAsu1HuToN, July o.-Aitorney Cen
eral Williams has delivered an opinion In
the Caae Of Gen. Howard. He says the
papers furnished him are incomplete In
not including the bonds OF the commits
sioner Of the Freedmen's Bureau and It's
chieI officers, and in other respects. The
Attorney General differs from the opinion
ol the late Secretary Stanton that bonds
arc not required Of army officers detailed
TO this duty. In response 10 the query as
70 what course should be pursued in cases
where considerable sums have been taken
from the treasury by means Of forged re-
|ceipts for bOuntiGsl due colored soldiers
and to what extent the Commissioner and
CHIEF disbursing officer are responsible.
He says the offenders can be proceeded
against criminally and ciyilly, or against
the persons responsible for their acts BY
the government. ThebOnd Of $40, 600 re-
quircd Of tho Commissioner from and az
ter October II, 1871, docs not cover any
default prior 10 that date. Nor Ia the
Commissioner liable Tor the acts OF his as
sistants under the act OF 1868; but under
the joint resolution Of 1857, the CommlS
sioDer is explicitly held for all moneys
paid under that act and he Is also respon.
Sible ciVilIy for the acts Of his subOrdi-
mates. The Attorney General says the
Commissioner Of the Freedmens' Bureau
10 therefore liable for all the losses OF the
government by deiAulting subordinates or
other persons employed by him under the
joint resolution OF 1867.
