of n committee Of nine members Of the

There is no doubt but what the opinion
of the attorney general is squarely against

1t in the proclamation OF the executive in

an opinion from Attorney General Gushing
OF the United States, which was delivered
In 1854. The United States attorney gen
eral was asked for an opinion on con-
current resolution Of congress, directing the
head Of a department TO pay a certain
