pertinent to the subject. We have a letter pro-
pounding certain inquiries, which have hereto
fore been answered by U.S. We have told how
we came by the first communication on the sub
ject, and given our reasons for thinking that the
writer was the person whom he represented him
self to be, and knew whereof he wrote. While
we cannot say that our mind is entirely free from
doubt on the subject of his story, We are strong
ly inclined to believe it. But this we will say

he died somewhere, at some time. Find him, OF

question, beyond dispute. Our opinion is, that

UNCONSTITUTIONAL The Attorney General of
the State, on application of the Governor decides
that County or Township Relief Bonds, under
the act passed at the recent session of the Legis-
lature, would be unconstitutional. Why was not
this discovered before. We have always under
stood it to be part of the duty of the Attorney
lIeneral to advise with the Governor on the le-
gality of proposed laws, aud that it is the duty
Of the Governor, before approving laws upon
winch there is any legal doubt, to obtain the
opinion of this officer. Yet the Legislature, con-
tanning several able lawyers, passed this bond
bill, and the Governor signed it, without why
or wherefore. Now, after the Legislature has ad-
journed, and a number of Townships have voted
bonds, the Governor addresses a formal letter to
the Attorney General, asking him whether the
law is constitutional; and the law officer
makes an elaborate reply, showing that it is not.
Had they done this at the proper time, the Leg
islature might have taken other measures for re-
lief that would have been Constitutional.
