GENTLEMEN:-I have the honor to ac-
knowledge receipt at 6 O'clock p. M, March
n, 1890, of q communication from your hon
orable body requesting further advice with
reference to the prerOgatives and powers
I of the investigating committee. Thatthere
& maybe NO apprehension as to any de-
!; lay on my part in answering former COM
municatiOns, | desire to state distinctly
that the resolution which appears TO have
4 been adopted February 2l,s 1890, was not
Z transmitted to. or received at this Office
until the hour between 2 and 8 O'clock p.
4 M, Friday, February 49, 1880, and was
after. In that opinion had the honor to
{ inform your honorable body that 1t would
be best tOc0mpel the attendance of wit
i neSseS and the giving of testimony by due
process OF law. In giving such opinion I
assumed that said committee, being mem.
bersi OF the highest branch Of the law MAX

of terms which have been in common use

4 land, and which are found not only in the
constitution of the United States but in the
constitutions of nearly, II not all, the
